Karow railway station

Karow railway station is an operational facility located at the junction of multiple railway lines in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The complex comprises twelve structures including the main building and two water towers, with four platform tracks for train operations.

The station opened on December 5, 1882, inaugurating the railway line from Güstrow to Wendisch Priborn. This connection provided a new route that bypassed the need to travel around Lake Plauer See.

The station buildings and water towers showcase late 19th-century railway design that shaped the local character of Karow. Visitors experience these structures directly as part of their passage through the complex.

The station operates under DB Station&Service management with regular train connections throughout the region. Visitors can access the working facility to board trains or make brief stops during their journey.

The station experienced its heaviest use during the 1970s and 1980s when freight and passenger trains passed through regularly. The grounds today reflect this once-thriving period of the facility.
