Fichtengrund railway station
Fichtengrund railway station, Railway signal box in Oranienburg, Germany
The Fichtengrund railway station features a central control tower with radial viewing windows and separate electrical relay rooms built from reinforced concrete.
The Deutsche Reichsbahn constructed this station in 1964 to manage a secret rail track connecting the Prussian Northern Railway with the Heidekrautbahn.
The station represents East German railway architecture, displaying typical German Democratic Republic construction methods and materials of the 1960s.
The station ceased operations in 1994, and in 2017 all platforms and the main building were removed, leaving only the access road.
Engineers at Fichtengrund tested a specialized Telescopic Axle system that would allow trains to switch between European and Russian track gauges.
