Niebüll – Niebüll neg
[130, 136] (9B3, 1D3) DE15/002
DB and neg Niebüll GmbH have separate stations in Niebüll. The only passenger service over the section of the branch to Dagebüll between the neg station and the junction with the main line is provided by a few through workings, which do not operate during the winter. Through trains are indicated in Kursbuch table 130 by IC trains which start or terminate at Niebüll, with an origin or destination of Dagebüll Mole.
Kiel Hbf (Kiel Süd) - Schönberg (Holstein)
(10B2-11A2, 3C4-3D4) DE15/003
Tourist trains run every Saturday and Sunday during the summer between Schönberg (Holst) and Schönberger Strand. On some days there are through trains between Kiel Hbf and either Schönberg (Holst) or Schönberger Strand. See the Schönberger Museumsbahnen timetable.
Burg (Fehmarn) West
[140] (11B2 not shown; 4C3 partially shown) DE15/004
This triangular junction connects Fehmarn-Burg with the main line between Lübeck and Puttgarden.
The N <=> S leg is used by EC and ICE trains between Hamburg and København via the Puttgarden – Rødby train ferry. All RE and RB trains between Lübeck and Puttgarden call at Fehmarn-Burg, and so use the N <=> E and E <=> S legs of the triangle in sequence. There are a few dated IC trains between Hamburg and Burg (Fehmarn), which use only the E <=> S curve.
