Futtog - Marslev Traditional Cache

Futtog - Marslev

Her ligger den gamle stationsbygning øde hen. Og her ligger historien om et Danmark, der for længst er væk. Historien om dengang, da jernbanen bandt landet sammen.

I dag har stationen for længst udspillet sin rolle, og tilbage i 2005 søgte DSB om tilladelse til at rive bygningerne ned - i første omgang pakhuset øst for selve stationen. Men et fremsynet Langeskov Byråd nedlagde et midlertidigt forbud, og nu behandles sagen af Kerteminde Kommune.

Bevarende lokalplan

Her arbejder miljø- og teknikforvaltningen på at lave en bevarende lokalplan for området omkring Marslev Station.

- Stationsbygningen er helt speciel - netop fordi den ligger frit. Men arkitekturen er efter vores mening også bevaringsværdig

Stationen, som den ser ud i dag, blev bygget i 1910. Den er tegnet Heinrich Wenck, der fra 1891 til 1921 var overarkitekt ved Statsbanerne.

På det tidspunkt ekspanderede jernbanen voldsomt i hele landet, og Wenck kom til at tegne hovedparten af de mange stationsbygninger og andre jernbanebygninger, der blev opført i denne periode.

Heriblandt Københavns Hovedbanegård, det meste af Kystbanen samt Odenses anden banegård, der i dag er revet ned. Men også anlægget i Gedser, som de fleste danskere kender fra tv-serien Matador, var på tegnebrættet hos Heinrich Wenck - og så selvfølgelig stationen i Marslev.

Her standsede det sidste passagertog officielt den 21. maj 1977, men enkelte tog gjorde nu og da holdt frem til 1979.

Tjørne og knæhøjt græs

Siden er tiden stået stille - eller næsten stille. For hvor der før var perron, er der ikke meget at se.

De rejsende, deres tasker, kister, kufferter og personlige ejendele - stykgods, pakker og anden postbefordring, er afløst af halvanden meter høje tjørne, brombær, og knæhøjt græs.

En svag forhøjning med en kant af cement afslører, hvor tidligere tiders tog med deres trinbrætter mødtes med mulden i Marslev. Og muld er der nok af, for den by, som man forventede ville skyde op omkring stationen, kom aldrig. Det gjorde den til gengæld fem kilometer længere mod øst - nemlig i Langeskov.

Eng:

DSB would tear the building down, but now it makes Kerteminde municipality a zoning plan for keeping Marslev Station.
Marslev: Impressive it looks as it lies there - in the middle of nowhere between Marslev and Fraugde Kaerby.

And it is because even if one mind you have a penchant for architectural beauty and good-old craft. We are in Marslev.
Or Marslev Stationsby if you will.
Here lies the old station building deserted. And here lies the story of a Denmark, who have long since gone. The story of the days when the railroad tied the country together.

Today the station has long since run its course, and back in 2005 sought the DSB for authorization to tear the buildings down - first warehouse east of the station. But a visionary Langeskov The City Council imposed the temporary ban, and now treated the matter of Kerteminde Municipality.

Conservation district plan

- Station building is unique - just because it's free. But the architecture is in our view also worth preserving

Station, as it looks today was built in 1910. It was designed Heinrich Wenck, who from 1891 to 1921 was the architect of national railways.

At that time, the railroad expanded dramatically throughout the country, and Wenck came to sign the majority of the many station buildings and other railway buildings that were built during this period.

Among the Copenhagen Central Station, most of the Coast Line and Odense's second station, which is now demolished. But also the installation of Gedser, which most Danes know from the television series Matador was on the drawing board with Heinrich Wenck - and of course the station Marslev.

Here stopped the last passenger train officially on 21 May 1977, but some trains were now and then held up to 1979.

Thorns and grass knæhøjt
Since the time has stood still - or nearly stationary. For where before there was the platform, there is not much to see.

The travelers and their bags, trunks, suitcases and personal belongings - general cargo, parcels and other postal service is replaced by a half meter tall hawthorn, blackberries, and knæhøjt grass.

A weak ridge with a border of cement reveals how past train with their running boards met with Mulder Marslev. And mold is enough of the city, which was expected would shoot up around the station, never came. It did turn five kilometers further east - namely Langeskov.
