Stralsund–Rostock Railway
The Stralsund–Rostock railway connects the two Hanseatic cities in the north of the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The single-track electrified main line is part of the German Unity Transport Project (german: Verkehrsprojektes Deutsche Einheit) No. 1 (Lübeck–Rostock–Stralsund). History The railway line was built to provide a direct rail link between the two Hanseatic cities of Rostock and Stralsund and to open up the area in between. Prussia proposed a single-track main line, while Mecklenburg considered that a branch line would be sufficient. The concession was authorised by a treaty of 15 December 1884. The track was built by the Prussian state railways and officially opened on 1 July 1888. The Mecklenburg government participated only financially. The line crossed the boundary between the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and the Prussian province of Pomerania between Ribnitz and Damgarten. The original plan was that the Stralsund–Ribnitz section would ru ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
15 KV AC Railway Electrification
Railway electrification systems using at are used on transport railways in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, and Norway. The high voltage enables high power transmission with the lower frequency reducing the losses of the traction motors that were available at the beginning of the 20th century. Railway electrification in late 20th century tends to use AC systems which has become the preferred standard for new railway electrifications but extensions of the existing networks are not completely unlikely. In particular, the Gotthard Base Tunnel (opened on 1 June 2016) still uses 15 kV, 16.7 Hz electrification. Due to high conversion costs, it is unlikely that existing systems will be converted to despite the fact that this would reduce the weight of the on-board step-down transformers to one third that of the present devices. History The first electrified railways used series-wound DC motors, first at 600 V and then 1,500 V. Areas with 3 k ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rövershagen–Graal-Müritz Railway
The Mecklenburg Spa Railway (german: Mecklenburgische Bäderbahn) is a non-electrified, single track branch line in the north of the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It runs from Rövershagen, east of the Hanseatic city of Rostock, to Graal-Müritz on the Baltic coast. Its name came originally from the name of its operator and was later transferred to the line. History Origins At the end of the 19th century the villages of Graal and Müritz (then two separate places) strove to become spa towns and seaside resorts. However they were only linked to the larger towns by poorly maintained cart tracks and country roads. As a result, they called for a railway link. During the planning, the following route sections were discussed: * Ribnitz – Müritz – Graal * Gelbensande – Graal – Müritz * Rostock – Nienhagen – Graal – Müritz * Extension of the Warnemünde–Markgrafenheide Beach Railway * Rövershagen – Graal – Müritz (direct route along the ''Pö ...

After 1887, it was used as a base for hunting in the surrounding forest, the Rostock Heath. Because of the Grand Duke's marriage to one of the Russian Tsar's granddaughters, the Mecklenburg-Russian relationships can still be seen inside the castle today. The ''Jagdschloss'' remained in the Grand Duke's use until 1944. It was subsequently used as an army hospital, a sanatorium for tuberculosis, a public library, a veteran's club and a sort of hostel ...

Bundesstraße 105
''Bundesstraße'' (German for "federal highway"), abbreviated ''B'', is the denotation for German and Austrian national highways. Germany Germany's ''Bundesstraßen'' network has a total length of about 40,000 km. German ''Bundesstraßen'' are labelled with rectangular yellow signs with black numerals, as opposed to the white-on-blue markers of the ''Autobahn'' controlled-access highways. ''Bundesstraßen'', like autobahns, are maintained by the federal agency of the Transport Ministry. In the German highway system they rank below autobahns, but above the '' Landesstraßen'' and ''Kreisstraßen'' maintained by the federal states and the districts respectively. The numbering was implemented by law in 1932 and has overall been retained up to today, except for those roads located in the former eastern territories of Germany. One distinguishing characteristic between German ''Bundesstraßen'' and ''Autobahnen'' is that there usually is a general 100 km/h (62 mph) ...
