Bad Kleinen, Railway junction station in Bad Kleinen, Germany.
Bad Kleinen is a railway junction in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany, where lines connecting Wismar, Lübeck, Schwerin, and Rostock meet. The main building stands apart from the tracks, which are accessed through an underground passage beneath the platforms.
The station opened in 1848 as part of the extension of the Hagenow Land-Schwerin line toward Wismar, making it one of the early railway junctions in the region. Over time it grew into a key node connecting several lines across northern Germany.
The station building dates from the 19th century and is listed as an architectural heritage monument in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Travelers passing through can still see original design features that reflect the look of early German railway construction.
The main building has no direct access to the tracks, so all travelers must use the underground tunnel to reach the platforms. It is worth allowing a few extra minutes, especially if you are carrying luggage or have limited mobility.
During the renovation work carried out between 2016 and 2018, the station never closed and trains kept running throughout the entire process. The work transformed it from a full-service station into a more operationally focused one, changing how passengers experience the stop.
