The line was opened in 1897 and closed and dismantled in 1951 in order to supply material for the Berlin Outer Ring.
Since 1995 the Schwarzbachbahn Society has endeavoured to rebuild a section of the line and run it as a museum railway. The former station ins Lohsdorf has been redecorated and new tracks laid there, which should reach Ehrenberg until 2026. The society has its headquarters in the station building at Goßdorf-Kohlmühle.
Reconstructing the Railroad between Goßdorf-Kohlmühle and Lohsdorf has been denied by the authorities, fearing the damage to the environment.
Instead of the tracks, there is now a hiking trail, also threw the two old tunnels.
