The railway line is historically a part of the Marsh Railway (German: Marschbahn), the through route along the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein from the city of Elmshorn to Bramming. Today, the line continues to the German border just south of Tønder, where it connects to the rump section of the Marsh railway and the German railway network.[1]
