3 unusual facts about Flensburg–Husum–Tönning Railway Company


Flensburg–Husum–Tönning Railway Company

In 1886 a connection was built between Platenhörn on the Husum–Tönning line and a junction at Hörn on a new extension of the Marsh Railway from Heide to Husum, which ran a little to the east of the Tönning line.

At the same time, an important branch line was opened from Oster-Ohrstedt via Klosterkrug (now a station in the city of Schleswig) to Rendsburg, connecting to the Neumünster–Rendsburg line—opened on 18 September 1845 by the Rendsburg-Neumünster Railway Company (Rendsburg-Neumünsterschen Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft, RNE)—which in turn connected with the Hamburg-Altona–Kiel line.

A major reason for the creation of a rail link between the Baltic port of Flensburg and the North Sea ports of Husum and especially Tönning on the Eider estuary was the export of live cattle to England.
