After the district council of the district of Rendsburg had long been striving for better development of the rural area, on January 18, 1893 the district committee applied for a narrow-gauge railway from Rendsburg to Hohenwestedt with a branch from Legan to Itzehoe. This route was then approved without the branch on July 3, 1893. Securing the financing dragged on for several years, and the planning was only completed in 1900. The crossing of the Kiel Canal and the route in Rendsburg proved to be particularly difficult, as large areas of the fortified town were owned by the military. For this reason, there was no direct connection between the narrow-gauge railway and the state railway station. The Kleinbahn was finally laid out as a meter-gauge Kleinbahn. From December 21, 1901, it ran south from Rendsburg to Hohenwestedt, which had been connected to the standard-gauge Neumünster–Heide line of the West Holstein Railway Company since August 22, 1877, which was later taken over by the state railway. Their station was only a few meters away from the Kleinbahn station, making it possible to change trains quickly. The Kiel Canal was crossed in Rendsburg on a swing bridge. A port railway ran from Rendsburg district station, which was located south of the old town and about a ten-minute walk from the state station, to the district port on the canal. This also provided the connection for goods to the state railway, some of which was laid out on four rails. At the port there was a transfer station where the goods were reloaded. Five, later six pairs of trains ran daily. It was not until 15 years later, on November 10, 1916, that the district railway from Hohenwestedt, where a terminus station required the train to change direction, continued south to the end point in Schenefeld. The route was a total of 45.4 kilometers long. The planned further construction up to the marching railway at Vaale was omitted. Three pairs of trains operated on the Hohenwestedt–Schenefeld section. The end of the circular path became apparent as early as the mid-1950s. On October 18, 1954, it was relieved of its obligation to operate the Hohenwestedt–Schenefeld section. In the years 1956/57 it gradually withdrew from the rest of the route. Traffic on the last section from Rendsburg to Jevenstedt ended on May 15, 1957. Some vehicles were sold to the Sylter Inselbahn. By the end of 1960, the Kreisbahn was also dissolved organizationally. The port track was still operated by a diesel locomotive from the former district railway that had been converted to standard gauge. Operation began with five two-axle tram locomotives, eight passenger cars, two baggage cars with a mail compartment, 32 boxcars and 17 open freight cars and four log cars. The vehicles were braked with the Heberlein Bremse. From 1911 to 1913 it was replaced by the Körting suction air brake. In 1913 and 1914, two three-axle steam locomotives were purchased for reinforcement. Four more passenger cars were bought in 1916 for the extension to Schenefeld. Two more three-axle locomotives were purchased in 1925 and 1926. In 1925 modern traction also arrived on the Rendsburg district railway, two railcars were procured. In 1939 four steam locomotives and two railcars were available. The railcars, which initially ran on benzene and were converted to diesel in 1939 and 1948, earned the railway the nickname "Rosa" because of their red and white livery. The first diesel locomotive on the Kreisbahn was a locomotive built by Krupp in 1941 (factory number 2446). It was transferred to the port railway after it was shut down. The second diesel locomotive RK 12 was bought in 1951 by Lokomotivfabrik Jung. This was sold in 1957 to the Kleinbahn Selters-Hachenburg.
