The scenic island railway that traverses the hills of Rügen
between Stralsund and Sassnitz has arrived for Train Simulator.
The 1860s, iron rails were rapidly spreading throughout Germany,
including those of the Angermünde–Stralsund railway which was built
to shorten journey times between the north of the country and
Sweden. There was however an opportunity to get rails even closer
to the Baltic border, the island of Rügen.
It would not be until 1883 when a railway on Rügen soil was built.
It originally stretched as far as Bergen auf Rügen to begin with,
and was extended 8 years later to reach the northern coast of the
island at Sassnitz. At this point however, there was no fixed
crossing with the mainland, instead, the body of water known as the
Strelasund was traversed by ferry.
Traffic steadily grew in popularity as Germany and Sweden were ever
closer linked. Mail would cross borders via Rügen faster than ever
before, and eventually, a railway ferry was established between the
two countries to bring them even closer together. The success of
the ferry urged a greater connection to the mainland, and so in the
1930s a bridge was built over the Strelasund.
It wasn’t just Sassnitz and Sweden that benefitted from the island
railway, the coastal town of Binz also found itself served by a
single track branch line from Lietzow, and today serves as an
equally important destination with every other train terminating
there.
Following electrification, and the fall of the iron curtain, Rügen
has become something of a holiday resort and has been referred to
as “Brighton for Berliners” by those who have reviewed its Baltic
coastline; and what better way to go on a summer holiday than by
scenic rail!
Inselbahn: Stralsund – Sassnitz brings both passenger and freight
flavours of island rail operations to life!
