The so-called Kaiserbahn was a single-track railway line from Bad Oldesloe via Ratzeburg to Hagenow-Land in Mecklenburg. The line is said to have been built at the instigation of Kaiser Wilhelm II, because the Kaiser wanted a shorter route for his journeys from Berlin to the naval base in Kiel than via Lübeck or Hamburg.

Passenger traffic was stopped in 1962, and freight traffic (mainly sugar beet) was abandoned in 1971.
