1838 - 2013 175 Jahre besteht die Strecke der Ersten Deutschen Staatseisenbahn von Braunschweig über Wolfenbüttel, Börssum, Schladen, Vienenburg nach Bad Harzburg. Um die Strecke bauen zu dürfen wurde ein Staatsvertrag zwischen dem Königreich Hannover und dem Herzogtum Braunschweig geschlossen. In der ersten Zeit wurde der Abschnitt Vienenburg - Harzburg als Pferdebahn betrieben, da die damaligen Lokomotiven für die Steigung noch zu schwach waren.

GERMANY 175th Anniversary of the First German Railway
This award marks the 175th Anniversary of the first German railway connecting Braunschweig, Wolfenbüttel, Börßum, Schladen, Vienenburg, Bad Harzburg, and is sponsored by the BSW club station DLØVBG of Vienenburg. Available for all amateurs and SWLs. In 1838 the first operating train track between Brunswick and Wolfenbüttel was completed. On the Vienenburg - Neustadt section (now Bad Harzburg) the trains were pulled by horses because locomotives could managed the grades. Vienenburg, built in 1840 is the oldest surviving station in Germany. A railway museum with model railway is a part of that station. On special occasions, the club station DLØVBG broadcasts directly from the museum.
