The Rügen narrow-gauge railway (German: Rügensche Bäderbahn, formerly Rügensche Kleinbahn or RüKB) – nicknamed Rasender Roland ("Raging Roland") – is a steam-powered narrow-gauge railway that runs from Putbus by way of Binz, Sellin, and Baabe to Göhren on the island of Rügen off the Baltic Coast in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.

[1] There is an interchange with the island's Deutsche Bahn mainline network via the Veolia-run OLA railways.

[1] The first stretch of the line that was opened, running from Putbus to Binz and still in service today, began operations on 22 July 1895.

[2] Shortly after the outbreak of the Second World War, in 1940, the Pommersche Landesbahnen (Pomeranian State Railways) also took over the Rügensche Kleinbahn-Aktiengesellschaft.

From 1949, Rasender Roland belonged to the East German state railway, and on 1 January 1996 it came under the care of the newly founded Rügensche Kleinbahn GmbH & Co.

In early 2008 the railway became a subsidiary of Pressnitztalbahn Gmbh, and its trading name was changed to Rügensche BäderBahn.

Because the original engines did not have any heating pipe couplings, the passenger coaches had to be equipped with stoves.

[4] On 20 October 1936, a train was derailed due to high winds, causing five persons to be injured.

The musical duo De Plattfööt, founded in 1979, sang Up'n rasenden Roland, which appeared in 1985 on the AMIGA LP Songs ut Meckelbörg.
