The Molli received worldwide renown as the official and only means of transport for representatives of the press at the G8 summit in Heiligendamm in 2007. From 30 May 2007 to 9 June 2007 the train service was cancelled owing to the G8-summit at Heiligendamm. The tracks between Heiligendamm and Bad Doberan were damaged during the summit so that the train services were cancelled for two further days.
