Lietzow–Binz railway

Lietzow and Binz railway is a single track, electrified branch line on the German Baltic Sea island of Rügen in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

It then swings south and, later, southeast, on a neck of land between the Kleiner Jasmunder Bodden and the Baltic.

Parallel to the railway line, between it and the sea, is the four and a half kilometre long complex of Prora.

In addition, the resort for the Strength through Joy (KDF) organization was built in the second half of the 1930s north of Binz, where 20,000 people were to be accommodated.

Prora was a military out-of-bounds area in GDR times and large barracks were set up using the KdF blocks.

Together with the Sassnitz and Stralsund railway, and the connexion to the Mukran Ferry Port, the line was electrified.

In 1991, the route was connected to the Deutsche Bahn's Intercity network using IC train "Rügen".

Three to five pairs of long-distance services run daily, most going to Rostock via Berlin to west or south Germany.
