Bahnhof Sassnitz Hafen

The architectural structure stands on the northeastern coast of Rügen Island, featuring two platform tracks and designated berths for maritime transportation connections.

The station began operations on May 1, 1897, establishing a vital transportation link between the German Empire and Sweden through postal ship traffic.

The Glassbahnhof building represents the maritime transportation heritage of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, connecting central European railways to Scandinavian destinations.

The station facilities include former customs platforms, vehicle boarding infrastructure, and a 150-meter bridge constructed in 1957 for automobile transport.

The railway approach required a two-kilometer branch line with a 27 promille gradient, making it one of the steepest coastal track sections in northern Germany.
