Lübeck-Travemünde Hafen station, Harbor railway station in Travemünde district, Lübeck, Germany.
Lübeck-Travemünde Hafen is a railway station situated in the harbor district where rail lines meet the waterfront. The facility includes the heritage-listed station building and a modern platform area that together enable passenger movement between the city and harbor zones.
The Lübeck-Büchen Railway Company opened this station in 1882, establishing a vital link between the city and Travemünde harbor. The site gained heritage monument status and underwent infrastructure expansion with a new platform added in 2004.
The station building represents the connection between maritime trade and rail transport that shaped Travemünde as a harbor town. Its design reflects how this location served as a gateway between inland commerce and seafaring activity.
The station connects Travemünde to major cities including Hamburg, Berlin, and Munich with regular train services. It's helpful to check travel times in advance since connections vary by season and time of day.
The original station building has operated as a restaurant since 1996, while train operations shifted to a separate outdoor platform. This unusual arrangement shows how heritage railway structures can find new purpose in evolving harbor communities.
