The Bamberg–Scheßlitz line, colloquially known as the Schääzer Bockerla (Upper Franconian for Scheßlitzer Böcklein or Little Schesslitz Goat) refers to a 14 kilometre-long branch line from Bamberg to Scheßlitz in the province of Upper Franconia, in Bavaria, southern Germany.

Between Bamberg and Memmelsdorf the railway embankment has been built on by the A 70/A 73 motorways, but is still largely visible due to the ballast bed that has not been entirely removed.

The station building at Memmelsdorf was restored and converted for 180,000 DM, and now houses the local choral society.

The reasons were not the high construction costs (about 2 million marks), but because both towns wanted to have the lucrative status of a terminus.

When the district council for the royal Bavarian district of Scheßlitz authorised a subsidy of 70,000 marks for the construction of a line from Scheßlitz to Hollfeld, the town of Scheßlitz demanded that its subsidy of 50,000 marks for the construction of the Bamberg-Scheßlitz route had to be given back if a line to Hollfeld were built.
