Zernitz station is a former station on the Berlin–Hamburg Railway. The station opened in 1846 and is one of the oldest in the German state of Brandenburg. Originally it was used mainly to connect to the town of Kyritz. Next to the station, which had originally been built on an open field, a settlement subsequently developed that was also called Bahnhof Zernitz or Zernitz-Bahnhof. The station was closed in 1995. The station building, which was built with the original construction of the railway, has heritage protection, as does the burial site of 48 Jewish concentration camp prisoners in the south of the village. They were killed in 1945 when a prisoner transport was accidentally strafed in the station by American low-flying aircraft.
