Introduction
This list is based on the timetable dated from 10 December 2023 to 14 December 2024, unless otherwise stated. Standard abbreviations are explained here.
Map references for each route entry are given in parentheses ( ). References prefixed "ERA-E" refer to the European Railway Atlas (All-Europe Edition) by M.G. Ball. References prefixed "ERA-R" refer to the European Railway Atlas (Regional Series: Book 2) by M.G. Ball. References prefixed "S+W", or in italic, refer to Eisenbahnatlas Deutschland by Schweers + Wall.
Obscure services: Lines used on a regular basis
Niebüll – Niebüll neg
[136](ERA-E 43A5; ERA-R 83B4; S+W 1D3) DE21/001
DB and neg Niebüll GmbH have separate stations in Niebüll. The only passenger service over the section of the branch to Dagebüll between the neg station and the junction with the main line is provided by a few through workings. These workings run throughout the year at varying times, which can be ascertained from DB Kursbuch timetable 130 or the neg website.
Kiel-Oppendorf - Schönberg (Holstein)
(ERA-E 43B4-43C4; S+W 3C4-3D4) DE21/002
Tourist trains usually run every Saturday and Sunday during the summer between Schönberg (Holst) and Schönberger Strand, plus some other days. Through trains from Schönberger Strand to Schönkirchen operate on certain days, and during the Kieler Woche sailing festival between 18 and 26 June, trains run through on Fridays to Sundays between Schönberg (Holstein) and Kiel Hbf with connections to/from Schönberger Strand. See nah.sh (the Schleswig-Holstein public transport site) for Kieler Woche times.
Work is under way to upgrade the line to allow reintroduction of a regular passenger service between the current terminus of Kiel-Oppendorf and Schönberger Strand, which may restrict operations meantime.
Burg (Fehmarn) West
[140] (ERA-E 44A4; ERA-R 85A3; S+W 4C3) DE21/003
This triangular junction connects Fehmarn-Burg station with the main line between Lübeck and Puttgarden.
With the withdrawal of through EC services via the Rødby - Puttgarden train ferry, only a two-hourly RE service operates to and from Puttgarden. All trains run into and out of Fehmarn-Burg station, leaving the direct north-to-south line avoiding the station without passenger services. One IC train pair runs to and from Fehmarn-Burg TWThX between 26 March and 1 November, therefore only using the south-to-east curve.
Tarp (Flensburg Weiche Süd) - Padborg (Abzw Flensburg Friedensweg)
(ERA-E 43A5; ERA-R 83C4; S+W 3C2) DE21/004
This south-to-north curve links the Neumünster and Padborg lines, avoiding Flensburg station.
Three IC train pairs per day run between Hamburg and København via this route. The dated night trains between Stockholm and Berlin also run this way.
D1 | IC396 | 08:55 Hamburg Hbf/09:01 Hamburg-Altona - København H | |
D1 | IC394 | 12:53 Hamburg Hbf/12:59 Hamburg-Altona - København H | |
D1 | IC392 | 16:54 Hamburg Hbf/17:03 Hamburg-Altona - København H | |
D2 | WSO/Daily | D300 | Berlin Hbf - 23:26 Hamburg Hbf - Stockholm C |
D1 | IC393 | København H - 10:02 Padborg - Hamburg Hbf/Hamburg-Altona | |
D1 | IC395 | København H - 14:02 Padborg - Hamburg Hbf/Hamburg-Altona | |
D1 | IC397 | København H - 18:02 Padborg - Hamburg Hbf/Hamburg-Altona | |
D3 | WSO/Daily | D301 | Stockholm C - 22:45 Høje Taastrup - Berlin Hbf |
D1: Between 17 July and 13 August runs to or from Hamburg-Altona instead of Hamburg Hbf
D2: WSO 8 May - 9 June and 8 September - 2 October. Daily 11 June - 5 September. Departure time from Hamburg Hbf is subject to change because of engineering work.
D3: WSO 5 May - 9 June and 8 - 29 September. Daily 11 June - 5 September
Other services via Padborg call at Flensburg and so use the loop line via Flensburg Süd.
Obscure services: Lines used on an occasional basis for engineering work diversions
Kiel avoiding line: Flintbek (Meimersdorf) - Kiel-Hassee Cittipark
[103, 146] (ERA-E 43B4; ERA-R 84B2; S+W 118B2) DE21/031
This north to south curve allows trains to run between the Neümunster and Flensburg lines at Kiel without reversal at the Hauptbahnhof. It is used by passenger trains when engineering work blocks the main line between Neümunster and Flensburg.
