Oebisfelde () is a railway station located in Oebisfelde, Germany. The station opened in 1871 and is located on the Berlin-Lehrte Railway. The train services are operated by Abellio Rail Mitteldeutschland. The station was a border station during the time of the Iron Curtain, until 1990. History The station was opened in 1871 at a location that was then on the northern edge of the town of Oebisfelde during the construction of the Berlin–Lehrte railway, which connected Berlin with Hanover. The line was first used for freight transport on 1 November 1871 and it was opened for passenger transport a month later. Subsequently Oebisfelde was connected by railway lines to several other places. In 1874, the Magdeburg-Neuhaldensleben railway was extended to Oebisfelde. The line to Salzwedel was opened in 1889. The Helmstedt–Oebisfelde railway went into operation six years later. At the beginning of the 20th century lines were opened to Schandelah east of Brunswick (1902) and Wittingen (1909), the latter as a standard-gauge Kleinbahn with its own station directly north of Oebisfelde station. After 1880, Oebisfelde became the location of a railway workshop, which developed into a locomotive depot (Bahnbetriebswerk). The number of trains that stopped at Oebisfelde station rose continuously: 15 trains stopped each day in 1888; this rose to 53 trains in 1912. The population of Oebisfelde increases substantially and the railway was the town’s main employer. An overpass was built at the western end of the station in 1910 because of the dense rail traffic. In 1918, the station was called Oebisfelde-Kaltendorf for several years following the unification of these two municipalities. The depot immediately to the east of the station was rebuilt in 1921. 199 daily trains ran through Oebisfelde in 1934. In the last years of the Second World War, the station was hit by several bombs, with freight trains being targeted in particular. After the Second World War With the establishment of the Inner German border just to the west of Oebisfelde, operations to Wittingen were stopped in August 1945. The light railway station at Oebisfelde was renamed Oebisfelde-Nord and it was now only used for freight traffic. Traffic towards Helmstedt ended as the line was cut three times by the Inner German border. The line between Helmstedt and Oebisfelde was, however, still used by Deutsche Reichsbahn and Deutsche Bundesbahn until 1952. Eventually all traffic towards Schandelah was abandoned. This line was rerouted through
