Forbidden trains (German: Verbotene Züge) – the popular name of the network of passenger railway connections of the occupying forces in Germany (1945–1994), inaccessible to Germans.

The maintenance of large military forces by the USSR, USA, Great Britain and France in the defeated country also generated significant transport needs, e.g. the need to maintain permanent and efficient connections with the countries that were their base. Particularly specific were the needs of the countries that occupied West Berlin, maintaining connections only with this city. The rolling stock used, especially in the first period, was requisitioned by the German Railways (Deutsche Reichsbahn)[1][2].

Vereinigte Staaten

Until 1947, the US Transportcorps RTO operated the connection between Bremerhaven via Helmstedt, Marienborn, Potsdam-Stadt, Griebnitzsee and the Berlin-Wannsee freight station, in the following years with the Berlin-Lichterfelde West station. The last train left in the summer of 1993[3].

Great Britain

From 1945, the Royal Corps of Transport maintained a link linking Emden, Hannover Hbf., Helmstedt, Marienborn, Potsdam-Stadt, Griebnitzsee with Berlin-Charlottenburg. The most famous was the "Berliner" train No. D 1045/1046, on the Hannover-Berlin route. The last train left in May 1991[4].

Frankreich

French Armed Forces Train (TMFB) No. D 1040/1041 ran between Paris and Strasbourg via Helmstedt, Marienborn, Potsdam-Stadt, Griebnitzsee with Berlin-Tegel (Gare Francaise). It consisted of sleeping cars, couchette cars, restaurant cars and lounge cars. For many years, the locomotive was replaced at Berlin-Wannsee station. The train arrived at Berlin-Tegel in the morning and departed in the evening, the last one on September 24, 1994[5].

The Soviet Union

For communication in the years 1945–1949 in the Soviet Occupation Zone, the Department was responsible, then the Transport Directorate of the Soviet Military Administration in Germany (Sowjetische Militäradministration in Deutschland – SMAD) based in Karlshorst, then the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany (Gruppe der sowjetischen Streitkräfte in Deutschland – GSSD) in Wünsdorf[6][7].

In the period 1945–1994, the most important connection for the USSR was the line connecting Moscow via Brest Central and Berlin with Wünsdorf, the headquarters of the Group of Soviet Forces. From 1945 to the end of 1951, the connection between Moscow and Potsdam via Brest and Frankfurt (Oder) bypassed the sectors of West Berlin, because during this period the SMAD Command was located in Potsdam Babelsberg. Sometimes a train (No. D 1190/1191) ran from Brest via Frankfurt (Oder) and Mittenwalde to Wünsdorf, with a group of wagons from Frankfurt (Oder) via Jüterbog to Magdeburg. One more train ran between Brest and Erfurt (D 1192/1193) via Jüterbog, Halle/Saale and Sangerhausen, between Brest and Magdeburg – train (D 1194/1195). A group of wagons ran from Frankfurt (Oder) to Schwerin for many years as a train[8][9].

Below is the list of trains:

The last train in these relations left on September 1, 1994.[10][11]
