The Greifswald–Jarmen small railway company (GJK) was founded on October 24, 1896. In New Western Pomerania it opened up the area around the university and Hanseatic city of Greifswald between the Ryck in the north and the Peene in the south.
The 49-kilometer small railway network, built with a gauge of 750 millimeters, was opened on September 16, 1897. From Greifswald the route led south via Busdorf, where it was only from March 23, 1912 that a branch line that was only used for freight traffic branched off to Klein Zastrow (8.93 km), to Dargezin. Here the rail line divided: in an easterly direction you reached Züssow on the Stralsund-Greifswald-Pasewalk state railway line, in a southwesterly direction it continued via Gützkow-Wieck to Jarmen, where connections to the Mecklenburg-Pomeranian narrow-gauge railway and to the Demminer Kleinbahnen Ost were made. Jarmen was on the other side of the Peene, which was crossed on a swing bridge.
The overall favorable development of the small railway in passenger and freight transport [in the first half of the 20th century] came to an end when the front reached Western Pomerania in the Second World War. Operations finally ceased on April 30, 1945. The tracks were dismantled and, along with some of the vehicles, transported to the Soviet Union as reparations.
