railways. Neustrelitz station building was built in a stately style since the city was the residence of the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. Neustrelitz station became a railway junction in In 1886, when the Lloyd Railway was opened from Neustrelitz to Warnemünde. Adequate areas had already been provided during the construction of the station for this purpose. Due to austerity measures, the extensions of the station for the new line were kept to a minimum. A bay platform was attached to the main platform and some transfer tracks and sidings were built. A combined residential and commercial building was built on Schwarzen Weg as the only building of the Lloyd Railway in Neustrelitz. After the nationalisation of the Mecklenburg railways and the introduction of through express trains on the Lloyd Railway from Berlin to Copenhagen there were some extensions of the railway tracks. The tracks of the Lloyd Railway were managed by the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg Friedrich-Franz Railway (Mecklenburgische Friedrich-Franz-Eisenbahn, MFFE), while the Northern Railway was managed by the railway division of the Royal Prussian Railway (Königlich Preußischen Eisenbahndirektion) in Schwerin. Even after the establishment of Deutsche Reichsbahn, the border between two division (with headquarters in Schwerin and Stettin, later Greifswald) ran through the station. On 18 May 1890, the Mecklenburg Friedrich-Franz Railway opened its line from Neustrelitz to Mirow. In 1895, the line was extended to the Prussian border at Buschhof (in Schwarz) where it connected with the Prussian line from Perleberg via Wittstock. The of the MFFE was also opened in 1890 from Blankensee on the Northern Railway towards Strasburg. In 1907, the MFFE established its own line between Neustrelitz and Blankensee parallel to the Northern Railway. While the MFEE had previously used state railway stations in both places, it now built separate stations. In Neustrelitz, the MFEE built its own station next to the state station in Neustrelitz, which was later called Neustrelitz Süd. In 1910, the MFEE opened the Thurow–Feldberg railway, which branched off its line to Strasburg in Thurow (in the municipality of Carpin). The line was served by trains always running to and from Neustrelitz. The station building was destroyed during the Second World War and only the ground floor remained and it was fitted with a temporary roof. After the war, the line from Thurow to Strasburg, formerly owned by the MFWE, was dismantled, but the line to Feldberg remained. The track of
