context_page_description: Grabow (Meckl) station is located on the Berlin–Hamburg railway in Grabow in the south west of the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Together with four other stations, which also opened on 15 October 1846, it is the oldest station in the state. The Neoclassical entrance building, which dates from the opening of the line, and some other buildings in the station area are heritage-listed.
context_section_description: The station building is located southwest of the tracks. It is a Neoclassical, two-storey building with five portals on its long side and three portals in the transverse direction with a gable roof and a mezzanine (that is a low storey). In both directions, the building had an avant-corps with a triangular gable, so that it has an approximately cross-shaped floor plan. It has not been used for railway purposes since the early 1990s. Until shortly after 2000 there was a restaurant in the building, but since then it has been empty. Its architect is not known by name, but it is believed, due to its similarities to many other buildings on the Berlin–Hamburg line, that the director of the Berlin-Hamburg Railway, Friedrich Neuhaus, delivered at least guidelines for the design of the station. A virtually identical station building was built at Bergedorf station in Hamburg; this was demolished in 1937 during the reconstruction of the local railway facilities.
  At the station building, the main platform is on the through track between Ludwiglust and Wittenberge. Until station renovation in the 1990s, an underpass connected under this track to a narrow island platform on the track operating in the opposite direction. Prior to the renovation, freight transport infrastructure lay behind it. These tracks have been removed, except for a track that has since been provided with an outside platform for trains towards Ludwiglust. A timber goods shed has been preserved, but it is empty.
  The level crossing at Kießerdamm at the south end of the station was replaced with an underpass in the course of the upgrade of the line to a high-speed line in 2004. This underpass gives access to the platform towards Ludwiglust.
  The entrance building, two sheds, a wall and a residential building situated opposite the station have heritage protection.
