Location

Schwanheide station was a border station during the division of Germany on the Berlin–Hamburg Railway in the German Democratic Republic. It is in the Mecklenburg town of Schwanheide, which is now in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. With the upgrade of the Berlin–Hamburg railway under the German Unity Transport Projects, the former railway station was reduced in status to a “halt”.
