Eiertunnel Bad Kleinen

The Eiertunnel extends 27.2 meters beneath the railway tracks, featuring a distinctive egg-shaped cross-section with a height of 205 centimeters and width of 125 centimeters.

Built in 1896 under the direction of Armin Steyerthal, the tunnel was constructed to connect the water healing facility to the Schwerin Outer Lake, passing under the Schwerin-Wismar railway line.

The brick-built tunnel structure represents a significant example of late 19th-century German engineering and transportation infrastructure in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

The passage provides residents and visitors with direct access between Bad Kleinen's town center and the shores of Schwerin Outer Lake, passing under two major railway lines.

A vertical air shaft integrated into the tunnel's 38-centimeter thick brick walls maintains ventilation throughout the underground passage.
