TheBrandenburg an der Havel tramway (German:Straßenbahn Brandenburg an der Havel) is anetwork oftramways forming the centrepiece of thepublic transport system inBrandenburg an der Havel, a city in thefederal state ofBrandenburg, Germany.
Opened in 1897 as ahorsecar system, the network was converted to an electrically powered system in 1911. It is currently operated byVerkehrsbetriebe Brandenburg an der Havel [de] (VBBr), and integrated in theVerkehrsverbund Berlin-Brandenburg (VBB).
As of 2019[update], the network had four lines, as follows:
| Line | Route | Stops | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hauptbahnhof (→ Steinstraße) ↔ Neustädtischer Markt ↔ Nicolaiplatz ↔ Fontanestraße ↔ Waldcafé Görden ↔Anton-Saefkow-Allee | 23/21 | |
| 2 | Hauptbahnhof (→ Steinstraße) ↔ Neustädtischer Markt ↔ Nicolaiplatz ↔Quenzbrücke | 18/16 | Currently suspended |
| 6 | Hauptbahnhof (← Steinstraße) ↔ Neustädtischer Markt ↔ Nicolaiplatz ↔ Fontanestraße ↔Hohenstücken Nord | 18/20 | |
| 1/2 | Anton-Saefkow-Allee ↔ Fontanestraße ↔Quenzbrücke | 20 | Currently suspended. Replaced lines 1 and 2 on Sundays and public holidays. |
Since 6 December 2019 only lines 1 and 6 have been in operation due to structural problems with theBridge of the 20th anniversary of the GDR, where the tram line to Quenzbrücke crosses the railway line towardsRathenow at Brandenburg Altstadt station.[2]
As of 2024[update] the rolling stock fleet consisted of twoTatra KT4, tenKTNF6 and sixDüwag MGT6D [de].[3] The KTNF6 were rebuilt from KT4D vehicles between 1997 and 1999 with an extra low-floor centre section.[4] The two remaining KT4D trams serve as reserve vehicles.[4]
A procurement project for new trams was started in 2018, jointly withCottbus andFrankfurt (Oder), and a contract was awarded toŠkoda Transportation in 2020. Brandenburg will receive eight new trams with an option for four more. The first of the new trams was delivered on 18 December 2024.[5][6]
The new trams are designatedForCity Plus 48T by the manufacturer and are three-section unidirectional vehicles with a length of 28.96 m and a width of 2.3 m. They have two fully-rotating traction bogies, one under each of the end sections, and a fixed trailer bogie under the central section. The trams are 70%low-floor and have a total capacity of 151 passengers, including 50 seats.[7][6]
