The old days are getting closer again. We rode there as children, through the moor.

Griendtsveen Edewecht peat works

South of the Küstenkanal in the Edewecht district of Husbäke is the Edewecht plant of Griendtsveen AG. It was largely rebuilt in 1996 on the site of the former Sevin peat works. Its 600 mm field railway was dismantled and replaced by a new 900 mm gauge railway. The plant reaches the Vehnemoor, where peat is mined in the immediate vicinity of the Klasmann-Deilmann mining areas. The two route networks have several crossings and a track connection.

The locomotive fleet is varied and also includes modernized machines or machines that have been heavily modified in-house. Since many locomotives are in the inaccessible moor and do not drive to the plant at weekends, you only get to see a part of them during visits. At the plant itself and on the connecting route to the Vehnemoor, the field railway operation can be easily observed from public areas.

Griendtsveen AG's Edewecht plant is located south of the coastal canal in Husbäke, a district of Edewecht. It was largely rebuilt in 1996 on the site of the former Sevin Peat Works. Its 600 millimeter field railway was dismantled and replaced by a new 900 millimeter gauge railway. The plant reaches the Vehnemoor, where peat is extracted in the immediate vicinity of the Klasmann-Deilmann quarrying areas.

The two route networks have several crossings and also a track connection. The stock of locomotives is varied and also includes machines that have been modernized or heavily modified on our own initiative. Since many locomotives are located in the inaccessible moor and do not drive to the factory on weekends, you only get to see a part of it when you visit. Field railway operations can be observed well from public areas at the works itself and on the connecting route to Vehnemoor.
