Warnemünde station is located in the seaside resort of Warnemünde, a district of the Hanseatic city of in the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The station opened on 30 September 1903 and is located on the Neustrelitz–Warnemünde railway. It is the terminus of all three lines. In addition, some long-distance trains serve the station. Until 1995, it was the starting point of ferries to Gedser in Denmark. The station building and some other facilities of the station have heritage protection.
The station is located on an island between two arms of the estuary of the Warnow, the old and the new channel, a few metres away from the Baltic Sea. A swing bridge connects it to the west to the centre of Warnemünde. To the east of the station on the new channel is the Warnemünde Cruise Terminal, which is the location of berths for cruise ships as well as the departure point of the ferry crossing the Warnow to Hohe Düne.
The station consists of a terminal platform for tracks 1 and 2, a broad central platform with track 3, which also terminates, and track 4, which formerly served traffic continuing north to the ferry wharf. This is followed by track 5 and a side platform serving track 6. There were formerly some sidings east of platform 6. Tracks 1 to 4 are reached directly from the station forecourt, while a pedestrian tunnel leads to platform 6 and the berthings. There were some sidings southeast of platform 6 in an area that is now used for paid parking.
The station building is located north of the platforms on the station forecourt (Bahnhofsvorplatz). On the middle platform there is a building that was formerly used as the waiting room for the grand duke.
Until 1903 the track ended about one kilometre south of the present passenger station at a terminal station. The site of the old station was then used as a freight yard. Parts of the system of tracks exist until 2014, but like the rest of the site, it was no longer used. Warnemünde Werft (shipyard) station is now in the area of the former freight yard. It consists of two outside platforms. Both platforms are connected to each other and with the suburb by a subway. The freight yard and Werft station are administered as part of Warnemünde station. The station building of the old station remained largely intact during the renovation in 1903 with the tracks to the new station running through it. The building was largely demolished during the electrification of the line in the early 1980s, with only the western part of the station house having been preserved. The remains were destroyed in 2014 when part of the area was used for new resident buildings.
