Kiel Hbf avoiding line: Flintbek (Abzw Meimersdorf) – Kiel-Hassee Cittipark

Burg (Fehmarn) West

[140] (11B2 not shown; 4C3 partially shown) DE13/005

This triangular junction connects Fehmarn-Burg to the main line between Puttgarden and Lübeck.

The N <=> S leg is used by EC and ICE trains between København and Hamburg via the Rødby–Puttgarden train ferry. These trains call at Puttgarden after leaving the ferry.

All RE and RB trains between Puttgarden and Lübeck call at Fehmarn-Burg, and so use the N <=> E and E <=> S legs of the triangle in sequence.
