    The history of the Butjadinger Bahn

    The Butjadinger Bahn was a standard-gauge narrow-gauge railway on the North Sea peninsula of Butjadingen in the north of the Wesermarsch district in Lower Saxony.

    It connected the port town of Nordenham on the Weser with Eckwarderhörne on the Jade Bay.

    From here, passengers could continue their journey to Wilhelmshaven by ferry.

    After two years of construction, the 30 km long railway line from Nordenham to Eckwarderhörne was put into operation on August 1, 1909.

    In 1956 the last passenger trains of the Butjadinger Bahn ran.

    At the end of 1968, freight traffic was also discontinued and the line was abandoned.

    Today only the railway embankment between Nordenham and Mitteldeich and the former station building are reminiscent of the narrow gauge railway.

      As you learn that in this region once a train is driven. The old route is now partly used as a cycling and hiking trail.
