Wakendorf II
Wakendorf II is a municipality in the district of Segeberg, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Name The name "Wakendorf II" was instituted in Prussian times to distinguish it from a different town about 20 km away, also called Wakendorf. The distinct name of these two towns is purely for communal distinction, and has no historical background. A citizens' initiative attempted to rename the village in ''Wakendorf an der Alster'' through a signing action. This request was not considered admissible by the local authority of Segeberg, as formal guidelines such as the date of birth of the signatories in the signature list were not listed. On June 22, 2006, the municipal council decided to retain the name Wakendorf II. Geography and transport Wakendorf II lies between Henstedt-Ulzburg and Nahe. There are also streets to Tangstedt and Kisdorf. Wakendorf II lies 20 km southwest of its partner town Wakendorf I. Until 1973, Wakendorf II had a locomotive depot ( Bahnbetriebs ...

Kleinbahn
The term ''Kleinbahn'' (literally 'small railway', plural: ''Kleinbahnen'') was a light railway concept used especially in Prussia for a railway line that "on account of its low importance for general railway transport" had less strict requirements placed on its construction and operation that main lines (''Hauptbahnen, Vollbahnen'') or secondary lines ('' Nebenbahnen'' i.e. normal branch lines). Even public railway lines built for constructional or industrial purposes were counted as ''Kleinbahnen''. Origin and use The concept was defined in the Prussian ''Kleinbahn'' law of 28 July 1892, that was designed to encourage the construction of local railway lines by private companies. The word ''Kleinbahn'' was chosen by a majority of MPs in the Prussian parliament instead of a range of other options - ''Lokalbahn'' (local line), ''Bahn unterster Ordnung'' (line of the lowest order) or ''Bahn untergeordneter Bedeutung'' (line of secondary importance) - because it was neither a forei ...

Bad Oldesloe
Bad Oldesloe () is a town located in the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein. It is the capital of the district of Stormarn. The area has been inhabited since Mesolithic times. The flint tools found here from that era (6000–4500 BC) are clearly defined and known as the ''Oldesloer Stufe''. For a number of years in the 18th Century the Moravian Church had a congregation in Bad Oldesloe. It was called "''Pilgerruh''", i.e. "Pilgrims' Rest". It was given up because of difficulties with the Danish Church authorities. At that time, the Duchy of Holstein was ruled by the kings of Denmark within the Holy Roman Empire. On 24 April 1945 the town was heavily bombed by Allied forces in the final days of the Second World War in Germany. Threehundred buildings were destroyed, and 706 people were killed as a result of the operation.

The Elmshorn–Bad Oldesloe railway (also called the ''Elmshorn–Barmstedt–Oldesloe railway'', abbreviated, EBOE or EBO) is a regional railway line that has existed since 1896 in the south of the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. It has been operated since 1981 by the AKN Eisenbahn. History A ten km-long narrow gauge railway was opened from Elmshorn to Barmstedt via Elmshorn by the ''Elmshorn-Barmstedter Eisenbahn-AG'' (Elmshorn-Barmstedt Railway Company) on 15 July 1896. On 9 June 1907, this was taken over by the ''Elmshorn-Barmstedt-Oldesloer Eisenbahn-AG'' (Elmshorn-Barmstedt-Oldesloer Railway Company, EBOE), which was founded on 3 December 1904 in Elmshorn.

Bahnbetriebswerk
A ''Bahnbetriebswerk'' is the equivalent of a locomotive depot (or motive power depot) on the German and Austrian railways. It is an installation that carries out the maintenance, minor repairs, refuelling and cleaning of locomotives and other motive power. In addition it organises the deployment of locomotives and crews. In the Deutsche Bahn, a ''Bahnbetriebswerk'' is known today as a ''Betriebshof''; the ÖBB refer to it as a ''Zugförderungsstelle'' (''Zf''). Many other countries simply use the term 'depot'. The smaller facility, the ''Lokomotivstation'' (also ''Einsatzstelle'' or ''Lokbahnhof'') akin to the British sub-depot or stabling point, is affiliated to a ''Bahnbetriebswerk''. N.B. The shortened form ''Betriebswerk'' is also used and both are commonly abbreviated to Bw or BW. The plural is ''Bahnbetriebswerke''. History Beginnings On 7 January 1835 the first ''Bahnbetriebswerk'' in Germany was opened. It looked after locomotives on the first railway line in Ge ...
