Bremerhaven–Bederkesa railway line, Heritage railway line between Bremerhaven and Bad Bederkesa, Germany

The railway line extends through the Elbe-Weser triangle region, connecting the port city of Bremerhaven with the spa town of Bad Bederkesa across multiple stations.

The railway track commenced operations in 1896, serving passenger transport until 1968 and continuing freight services until December 1993, marking nearly a century of regional connectivity.

The museum railway association maintains the historical route, operating a 1943 diesel locomotive V36 134 along with vintage passenger carriages and specialized transport cars.

Travelers can purchase single-trip tickets ranging from 9 to 12 euros for adults and 4.50 to 6 euros for children, with special family rates available for round trips.

The line features stations at Drangstedt, Knüppelholz, Debstedt, and Langen before joining the DB AG network at Bremerhaven-Speckenbüttel for the final stretch to Bremerhaven main station.
