2572:). A direct line already existed via Magdeburg, but the new route via Stendal was more direct and thus services would be quicker. The railway facilities in Stendal had to be rebuilt to make it easy for passengers to change trains. The Lehrter Railway runs south of the old town of Wittenberg from east to west, while the old line ran on the eastern edge of the town. The new Lehrter Railway has a connection with a relocated line from Wittenberge to the west of Stendal. This allowed two routes to share the new Stendal station. The diverted line to Wittenberge passes around the town along the north western boundary and then returns to its old route to the north. In addition to the Lehrter Railway, which opened through Stendal in 1871, the so-called 40: 2305: 2625: 356: 746: 2051: 856: 2606: 2148: 2117: 1896: 1835: 1568: 1276: 961: 683: 571: 252: 1871: 1864: 1716: 1676: 1669: 1062: 1024: 645: 276: 2617: 1828: 1730: 954: 739: 714: 2155: 1934: 1421: 1242: 1161: 992: 753: 669: 522: 425: 2197: 2124: 2082: 2019: 1987: 1960: 1723: 1617: 1347: 1228: 1190: 1168: 1154: 1114: 1076: 1038: 999: 924: 887: 824: 782: 707: 676: 332: 1903: 1857: 1519: 1472: 1298: 1269: 1235: 1204: 1197: 775: 546: 474: 2730:, regional, long-distance and freight traffic. Similarly, overhead lines were installed to support electric operations. North of the village of Zielitz, a four-track Zielitz station was built, letting S-Bahn trains reverse and freight trains continue without obstruction. Continuing towards Magdeburg a pair of tracks was built for the S-Bahn from the junction with the 2221: 2174: 2075: 2044: 2012: 1980: 1953: 1927: 1821: 1786: 1779: 1756: 1749: 1641: 1592: 1545: 1494: 1443: 1396: 1371: 1322: 1107: 1100: 1069: 1031: 985: 947: 917: 880: 849: 817: 620: 595: 497: 449: 400: 307: 228: 2588:

At this time, the bridge was widened to include a second track on its northern or eastern side. The southern track also adapted to permit road vehicles to cross, as there was no road bridge in Wittenberge. 2544:
The line was opened in three phases. On 7 July 1849, the 99 km-long section from Magdeburg to Seehausen was opened. On 5 August 1849 this was followed by the eight km-long section to the Elbe levee. Since the Elbe bridge was under construction, passengers had to cross to Wittenberge by ferry. On

The line ran from the north along the Elbe and through the city walls. Since there was insufficient room for the line to make a curve to return to the edge of the river, which was to the east, the riverbank had to be excavated to make room for the railway.

As well as a direct line from Magdeburg to Hamburg, the route was initially seen as a route between the coast and central and southern Germany.

In subsequent years operations in Magdeburg became increasingly unsatisfactory. The transfer of trains to the Leipzig railway was difficult and the Elbe river prevented the expansion of the rail facilities. Hence the old idea of a common route through the ring of forts was taken up again. As the
