}} }} The Brunswick–Magdeburg railway is an German main line railway. It is with the Berlin–Lehrte railway and the Hanover–Berlin high-speed line one of the most important east-west lines between Hanover and Berlin. Important intermediate stations are Königslutter, Helmstedt and Eilsleben. It is now used mainly for east-west freight traffic, as well as Intercity and Regionalbahn trains. ==History== Brunswick (German: ''Braunschweig'') and Magdeburg had already been connected with a railway line via Wolfenbüttel, Jerxheim and Oschersleben in 1843. This line took a southerly route, taking advantage of easy terrain. In Wolfenbüttel it connected with the Brunswick–Bad Harzburg line and in Oschersleben it connected with the Magdeburg–Halberstadt line. This connected the lines of the Duchy of Brunswick State Railway and Magdeburg-Halberstädt Railway Company (German: ''Magdeburg-Halberstädter Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft'', MHE). This was followed in 1844 by the Hanover–Brunswick railway and in 1846 by the Magdeburg–Potsdam line. In 1845 the Old Brunswick station was opened as a terminus. As traffic increased, the MHE sought from the early 1860s to build a direct Berlin-Hanover line. This was initially rejected by the governments of the Kingdom of Hanover and Duchy of Brunswick. After Hanover lost the war of 1866, and were annexed by Prussia, the MHE set about building its Berlin-Lehrte line via Stendal. This route bypassed the cities of Magdeburg and Brunswick and threatened the importance of the line of the Berlin-Potsdam-Magdeburg Railway Company (German: ''Berlin-Potsdam-Magdeburger Eisenbahngesellschaft'', BPME), especially since it connected in the west only to the network of its rival, the MHE. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brunswick–Magdeburg railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
