[205 Nord] (ERA-E 44B3; ERA-R 85C1; S+W ''15B3-15C3'') DE24/101  


This route is normally used by ''IC'' and ''ICE'' trains between Berlin and Rostock, which are not booked to call at Güstrow. ''RE5'' services run via Güstrow so do not use this route.
This route is used by ''IC'' trains between Berlin and Rostock, which are not booked to call at Güstrow. These generally run every two hours. ''RE5'' services run via Güstrow so do not use this route.
 
From 8 March, a two-hourly ''IC'' service operates daily between Dresden Hbf, Berlin Hbf and Rostock Hbf via this route. Northbound departures are at 58 minutes past each even hour from Waren (Müritz) between 08:58 and 20:58, and southbound trains are at 21 minutes past each odd hour from Rostock Hbf from 06:21 until 18:21, plus 20:23 FSX.
 
Additional long-distance ''IC'' and ''ICE'' services operate over this route, particularly in the summer months. These are shown in Table 205 Nord of the DB [http://kursbuch.bahn.de/hafas/kbview.exe Kursbuch].

This east to south curve is used by trains between the island of Rügen and the Pasewalk or Neubrandenburg lines, if not booked to call at Stralsund Hbf.  The overnight trains between Malmö and Berlin (see DE20/103) normally run this way, except when booked to run via Rostock Seehafen (see DE20/104), but have reversed at Stralsund Hbf some years.
 
===Lietzow (Abzw Borchtitz) – Sassnitz Fährhafen [Mukran]===
(''7C2'') DE20/103
 
As a result of the coronavirus outbreak, the ferry service between Sassnitz Fährhafen and Trelleborg has been withdrawn, apparently permanently, from 14 March 2020.  In recent years the ferry has been used principally by passengers, with freight going via Rostock and other routes.
 
A daily train service between Berlin Hbf and Malmö C was advertised to operate on the following dates, but can no longer do so via Sassnitz:
 
* Northbound (''D300''): Depart Berlin Hbf 19:00 on [12 April CANCELLED], 3 and 24 May, 14, 16 and 18 June then <b>daily</b> from 22 June - 30 August. Also from Berlin Hbf at 11:00 on 17 May (''D304'')
* Southbound (''D301''): Depart Malmö C 17:00 on [4 and 8 April CANCELLED], 13 and 20 May, 13, 15 and 17 June then <b>daily</b> from 21 June - 29 August;
 
On occasional dates in 2020 the train was expected to be diverted via Rostock (see below).  When international rail traffic can resume it is possible that it will run via Rostock, but this is not certain.  For further information see the [http://www.snalltaget.se/en/destinations/berlin Snälltåget] site.


===Kavelstorf - Rostock Seehafen===
This east to south curve is used by trains between the island of Rügen and the Pasewalk or Neubrandenburg lines, if not booked to call at Stralsund Hbf.
(''123A1-B4'') DE20/104


A few journeys by the overnight trains between Berlin Hbf and Malmö C were to be diverted via this route in 2020.
Now that overnight trains between Malmö and Berlin run via Padborg there is no regular passenger use of this curve.


Following withdrawal of the ferry between Sassnitz Fährhafen and Trelleborg it is possible that all trains will be diverted via this route at such time as international travel can resume.
The curve is used occasionally by diverted trains to and from Rügen when Stralsund Hbf is unavailable. It has also been used in the past by trips from Berlin to the Störtebeker Festspiele, held on Rügen throughout the summer each year, but in 2023 their [https://stoertebeker.de/anreise/ website] merely linked to regular services on the DB journey planner.


See the [https://www.snalltaget.se/ Snälltåget] website for details of whether and when the trains can operate.
===Papendorf / Kavelstorf (Abzw Dalwitzhof) – Rostock-Kassebohm (Abzw Rostock Warnowbrücke West)===
[100] (S+W ''123 B3'') DE24/103


The schedules for the diverted trains were:
This south to east route enables trains to run between the Schwerin or Neustrelitz lines and the Stralsund line without having to reverse at Rostock Hbf. There are separate connections from the Schwerin and Neustrelitz lines to Abzw Dalwitzhof Nordkopf.


{| class="ostable"
The route to and from the Schwerin line is used by diverted ''IC/ICE'' services between Hamburg and Stralsund. This last occurred in September 2023 when all ''IC/ICE'' services on this route did not call at Rostock Hbf.

Until 2022, it was also used by a pair of ''Urlaubs Express'' services between Lörrach Hbf and Ostseebad Binz. However since then, these services have only run between Lörrach and Hamburg-Altona.


D2: 29 April and 13 May
The route to and from the Neustrelitz line is occasionally used by diverted ''IC/ICE'' services between Berlin and Stralsund. This occurs on the weekends of 16/17 and 23/24 March 2024. Note that ''RE3'' and ''RE5'' services are unaffected and continue to run via Neubrandenburg and Prenzlau respectively.
