The historic Hangelsberg train station is a beautiful building, but it is unused and rather 'rotten'. What a pity. Will someone come up with something? Next to it on the other side of the street is an old Prussian civil servants' residence with outbuildings. Also a beautiful ensemble. Back then, they built with style and chic - and to last forever. Unfortunately, some of the windows in the house have recently been replaced and the large window openings have been made smaller.

A bit rough and no shade, but with a table. A few meters further south, right on the edge of the forest, there is a covered rest area that, in my opinion, seems more suitable for a rest.

Hangelsberg train station is one of the oldest train stations in Germany and was opened as “Hangelsberg Station Square” together with the Berlin-Frankfurt (Oder) line on October 23, 1842. The station building was rebuilt and expanded several times, for example by adding a signal box on the upper floor. There was a service apartment under the roof. The buildings were decommissioned at the end of 2003. In February 2015, the “Historischer Bahnhof Hangelsberg e.V.” association acquired the former station building. The station is a listed building.

Hangelsberg train station is one of the oldest train stations in Germany and was opened as “Hangelsberg Station Square” together with the Berlin-Frankfurt (Oder) line on October 23, 1842. The Berlin iron founder and mechanical engineer Friedrich Wöhlert, who built a steam locomotive together with August Borsig, was largely involved in the construction of the route. The station building was rebuilt and expanded several times, for example by adding a signal box on the upper floor. There was a service apartment under the roof. In the 1990s, the railway abolished ticket sales, luggage collection and waiting rooms. The signal box was taken out of operation at the end of 2003 and the separate toilet building was also closed. The Hangelsberg train station helped turn a small settlement of forestry workers and tar burners into a popular climatic health resort. There were numerous guesthouses and inns, especially between 1870 and 1930. Bahnhofstrasse led directly to beer gardens and a dock; spa guests and day-trippers came by train. In February 2015, the “Historischer Bahnhof Hangelsberg e.V.” association acquired the former station building. The main goal of the association is to maintain and maintain the buildings and property. A renovation concept for further use was developed.
