The present Ferry Terminal Analysis of Gedser Ferry
Terminal and the adjacent port areas focuses on the
Gedser–Rostock ferry route, especially with regard to
foot passengers.
The analysis has been prepared for Guldborgsund
Municipality by Hasløv & Kjærsgaard (firm of architects
and town planning architects).

The Ferry Terminal Analysis has been prepared under
the INTERREG INTERFACE project, a cross-border
cooperation involving six South Baltic Sea ferry terminals, including Gedser Ferry Terminal.
The INTERFACE project seeks, on the one hand, to
develop the ports as modern, service-oriented transport hubs for cross-border passenger transport in the
South Baltic Sea region and, on the other, to improve
public transport services to and from the ferry ports,
as well as to develop regional integration via crossborder traffic.
INTERFACE is funded by the INTERREG IV A South
Baltic Sea Programme.

introduction
Each year, approximately 1.7 million passengers travel by
ferry between Gedser and Rostock, and thus use the Gedser
Ferry Terminal and stay in Gedser either briefly or for an
extended period.
The Gedser–Rostock ferry link is part of the Copenhagen–Berlin section of the international traffic corridor – the
European route E55 – which runs from southern Sweden to
Kalamata, Greece.
Thus, the ferry link is of international significance, and is not
only a matter for Guldborgsund Municipality. The Municipality wishes to support and develop this infrastructure and the
international traffic that passes through it. Starting in 2012,
Scandlines will be doubling its capacity on the Gedser–Rostock link. This is made possible by a DKK 1.7 billion investment to convert Gedser Ferry Terminal and to purchase two
double-decker ferries.
including for the 100,000 or more foot passengers each year
who use the Gedser–Rostock ferry link.
The INTERFACE Project, which focuses on Gedser Ferry
Terminal and the areas close to the port, is supplemented
by a major regional redevelopment initiative for the town of
Gedser and Gedser Odde. The development of Gedser is a
significant element in the strategy for the overall development of Guldborgsund Municipality.
The Gedser initiative seeks to create the basis for the expansion of trade and tourism based on the potential of the local
area. The initiative also includes a number of exciting prospects for sustained growth and development, e.g. in the form
of more tourism from Germany and Poland, and the manifestation of Lolland–Falster as a logistical transportation hub.
The increased capacity on the Gedser–Rostock link will help
to manage the constantly increasing traffic on the eastern
European traffic corridor, particularly from eastern Germany,
Poland and the Baltics.
Focusing as it does on cross-border transportation, the
INTERFACE Project also contributes to Guldborgsund Municipality’s efforts to boost collaboration with our neighbouring
Hanseatic City of Rostock. The Ferry Terminal Analysis has
been prepared in close dialogue with the owner of Gedser
Ferry Terminal, Scandlines.
The present ferry terminal analysis, prepared as part of the
INTERFACE Project, is thus being conducted at exactly the
right time and can potentially make a significant contribution
to supporting improvements to the service and facilities for a
very large number of passengers,

background
Each year, approx. 1.7 million people travel to and
from the Gedser–Rostock ferry crossing. Scandlines
has decided to double its capacity on the crossing.
This will result in private investment of DKK 1.7 billion
worth of conversions and the purchase of two new
ferries, planned to be operational in 2012. Part of this
investment will also go towards improving access for
local buses, pedestrians, cyclists and cars between
Gedser and Nykøbing Falster.
The present report focuses on the port areas and
their utilisation in terms of ferry route requirements,
especially with regard to passengers who use public
transport to get to and from the ferry, and partly with
regard to utilisation of buildings in the port area that
are of cultural heritage and architectural value.

masterplan
description and status
The masterplan for the town of Gedser and Gedser
Odde is part of Guldborgsund Municipality’s initiative
to create the basis for developing tourism and trade
in Gedser. The process is based on interviews with
key players in the local area, the local business community, culture stakeholders and potential investors.
Following presentation of two outline proposals at a
public meeting in January 2010, both of which focused
on the importance of upgrading and redeploying the
port functions, work continued towards a finalised
proposal, which was put out to public consultation
in June–August 2010. After processing the proposed
modifications received, the integrated plan was adopted in September 2010 by Guldborgsund Municipal
Council, and will form the basis of the preparation of
local area plans, etc.

Gedser integrated plan, June 2010.
t h e I N TE R R E G
I V A I N TE R F A C E P r o j e c t
The INTERFACE Project is a development project funded
by the EU INTERREG IV A South Baltic Sea Programme.
The project concerns the Gedser ferry terminal and
areas adjacent to the port, the transport link between
Gedser and Nykøbing Falster (and beyond to the rest
of Denmark), as well as increased cross-border collaboration in the Rostock area, including the development of
tourism and cultural exchanges in the Gedser area and
southern Denmark. The project is a cooperation project
involving six ferry terminals, connected by four ferry
links crossing the South Baltic Sea (Gedser–Rostock,
Rostock–Trelleborg, Karlskrona–Gdynia and Gdynia–
Baltijsk). INTERFACE activities and the ferry terminal
analysis of the Port of Gedser and the areas adjacent
to the port coincide with Scandlines’ plans for heavy
investment and expansion, with major implications for
the areas adjacent to the port.

The ferry terminal areas
– today
The majority of Gedser Ferry Terminal and its approach areas, buildings and tracks are currently owned
by Scandlines. The western part of the areas is owned
by Guldborgsund Municipality and Danish State Railways (DSB).
The ferry terminal is at the far west of the overall port
complex in Gedser, which also incorporates a fishing port and a quay for the use of DONG Energy and
others. Scandlines is one of the key players when it
comes to realisation of the integrated plan for the
town of Gedser, which includes development of additional port functions such as a commercial port,
marina and bathing beach.
The existing ferry terminal and its approach area are

currently widely dispersed over a very large area. The
various functions are inappropriately located in relation to one another, and in between there are large
voids which are poorly utilised, with little guidance for
finding one’s way around. At the same time, the large
areas imply inconveniently long distances for foot passengers and cyclists boarding and alighting from the
ferries, and for passengers proceeding to bus links,
etc.

The individual buildings – the former station building

Roundhouse (building 3), the terminal building (building 4) and the warehouse (building 6) – are worthy of
preservation and each represent their particular aspect of the story of more than 100 years of the Port of
Gedser as Denmark’s south-facing port and Europe’s
gateway to Scandinavia.
The warehouses (building 5) and payment installation
(building 7) do not have heritage value and can be
demolished in the course of reconstruction.

The signage in the port areas for servicing passenkirkegård

and in many cases inadequate; as a
result, few people use the facilities and even fewer are
aware of what the town of Gedser and Gedser Odde
have to offer in the way of activities, tourism and short

Up until July 2010, the
terminus for the bus link to
Det sorte museum
Nykøbing Falster was at Langgade 42, Torvet, so the
bus did not take passengers all the way to the departure terminal for the ferry crossing. Passengers had
to walk along either Stationsvejen or Moltzaugade and
proceed via the roadway areas to the passenger terminal. As of July 2010, as part of the INTERFACE Project,
the buses now run to the passenger terminal (building 4), and have a turnaround and terminus there.
The former terminus at Langgade 42 (Torvet) is now a
regular bus stop.

a proposal for redeployment of functions for the whole
of the ferry terminal area. This redeployment plan
includes a new ferry berth (the existing western berth
is to be converted), a waiting space and access links to
the ferry for pedestrians and cyclists.

close to the
existing fishing port will retain their current storage,
operation and service functions for the terminal area,
although the middle building of the Scandlines warehouses will be vacated and could either be demolished
or used for other purposes. In this regard, there is
scope for using some of the warehouse car park areas
as customer parking for the ferries.
The No. 39 bus from Nykøbing Falster, which previ-
10
- 2012
ously terminated at Langgade 42, now continues right
up to the present ferry terminal at berth 1. After 2012,
the bus will take passengers as far as the former station building, building 1 – the future passenger terminal.
To the north, traffic will be rerouted to enable better
traffic flow. The link road to the town of Gedser will
be relocated north, and traffic lights will be set up to
create gaps in the ferry traffic, to improve traffic flow
from the town of Gedser.
The Port of Gedser is international, and accordingly
an ISPS security perimeter fence will be required all
around the terminal area. The fence is provisionally
planned with open gates/entrances, but must incorporate the facility for instant closure in the event of
terrorist threats, etc.

planning
The proposed approach concourses and payment
installations are part of the Natura 2000 area: Coastal
section near Hyllekrog–Rødsand.
Planning within this Natura 2000 area is subject to
planning permission from the City and Landscape
Agency, and this was granted to Guldborgsund Municipality in June 2010.
A local area plan has been prepared on this basis. The
local area plan was put out to public consultation from
September to November 2010, and is expected to be
presented to Guldborgsund Municipal Council for final
adoption soon afterwards.
The project is also considered to be covered by the
EIA Environmental Impact Assessment Executive
Order (VVM-bekendtgørelsen) Annex 2 (14) relating to
modifications and expansions of existing facilities, because this concerns a modification and minor expansion of an existing ferry terminal. With this in mind,
the project would require EIA screening.

Primary access to the ferry terminal is from the north,
via Gedser Landevej. The junction of Gedser Landevej/
Langgade marks the divide of traffic for the town and
traffic for the ferry. The traffic is not currently regulated by lights, which means that when ferry traffic is
on the move, it is often difficult for buses, cars and
cyclists to get out onto the highway from the town of
Gedser.

Existing arrival and
departure facilities,
general
Cars, coaches, lorries and cyclists travelling by ferry
to Rostock proceed due south as far as the payment
terminal. From there, they continue to the approach
area. Cyclists are not separated from the rest of the
moving traffic.
In the approach area, apart from WCs, there are no
facilities such as tourist information, maps, a waiting
hall for waiting motorists, cyclists, coaches, etc.
The No. 39 bus from Nykøbing Falster runs along
Langgade, stopping at Langgade 42 and Langgade
32. From here, the bus proceeds to the existing ferry
terminal, now with a turnaround and terminus. Bus
passengers walk directly from the bus into the terminal building, where there are ticket sales and a waiting
room for foot passengers. Access to the ferry is directly from the terminal building via a stairway.
The existing terminal building is fitted out with a ticket
machine for foot passengers, WCs and shelves with
tourist information as well as offices for staff involved
in ferry operation.
The railway track to ferry berth west and to the station takes up a lot of space at the west end of the
installation, but is no longer used for traffic, because
the train link to Nykøbing Falster was shut down in
December 2009.

In future, primary access to the ferry terminal and the
town of Gedser is anticipated to be from the north,
with direct access to and from approach areas from a
multi-spur road profile. The exit route from the town
of Gedser will be relocated to the north, where the
traffic will divide. The No. bus 39 from Nykøbing Falster runs along Langgade, while cars, lorries, coaches
and cyclists proceed directly into the payment terminal
and approach area. Cyclists will be kept apart from the
rest of the traffic with a cycle path.

Foot passengers board/alight the ferry via the existing
terminal building (building 4). In front of the terminal
building, there is a small car park and a drop-off and
pick-up area. For passengers arriving by public transport, i.e. the No. 39 bus from Nykøbing Falster, the
terminus is beside what is currently the terminal building. To get from the current terminal building to the
main street in Gedser – Langgade – pedestrians proceed along Moltzaugade to the terminal building. The
walkway is not visually distinct and appears complex;
only part of it is paved.

Recommendations
– create a pavement with lighting along the north side
of the access road, Molzaugade, to the new terminal
building.
– create alternative routes through the future green
area, the roundhouse and the future cultural centre.
– establish a clear layout in front of the new terminal
building with kiss & ride, short-stay car park and bus
stop.

Pedestrians
The ferry terminal for foot passengers will be relocated to the former station building, where an arrivals
area will be established, with a car park, taxi rank,
bicycle parking, kiss & ride and a bus stop/turnaround
for the No. bus 39. Accordingly, a transport hub will
be established in the space between the terminal and
the former administrator’s residence and equipment
yard. Along the north side of this area, there will be
a wide pavement connecting the terminal area to the
north-east with the engine shed up to Langgade and
the town of Gedser. The link between the terminal and
the engine shed is via the approach area/access to the
ferry berth west. The walkway will be clearly delineated with pedestrian bollards and a change in material
from road to pedestrian walkway. Along the walkway
from the town to the terminal building, there are a
number of secondary functions that offer travellers/
the town new attractions: the engine shed, the cultural
bypromenade
centre, the outlet centre, the Black Museum.

existing departure and
arrival facilities
for cyclists
Cyclists arrive at the ferry terminal via Gedser Landevej from the north. On arriving at the terminal installation, cyclists follow general vehicular traffic. In the
approach area, cyclists proceed alongside the ferry
berth. It is not possible to buy a bicycle ticket in the
terminal building; you have to purchase this at the
ticket installation – the same place where car and lorry
drivers purchase their tickets. Because cycle traffic
is not separated from the general traffic, it is all too
common for soft road-users to get too close to cars,
lorries or coaches.
There is no canopy or any kind of cover in the event of
bad weather to offer shelter whilst waiting. Thus, the
ferry crossing is not designed for cyclists and it must
therefore be assumed that only a few cyclists use it.
The lack of provision for cyclists means that only a
very few regard bringing bicycles along for the crossing as an option. This also means the ferry link and
both sides of the crossing miss out on income from
cycle tourism in the area.

future arrival and
Recommendations – cyclists
-
establishment of a safe cycle link from the
existing cycle path up to the bicycle
parking area/approach by the passenger terminal
-
establishment of a covered waiting area near the approach area by the passenger terminal
-
clear distinctions in the surfaces in connection
with boarding
for cyclists
As part of the integrated plan, better access is to be
provided for cyclists to the town of Gedser, Gedser
Odde and to and from the ferry. In future, cyclists to
and from Gedser and to and from the ferry terminal
will proceed via the cycle path from the north (along
Gedser Landevej) and through Skråvej and Danmarksvej to Langgade and then along Moltzaugade and on
to the passenger terminal. They will be able to buy
tickets in the new passenger terminal. Special bays
will be set up by the passenger terminal to serve as
pre-boarding waiting areas.

existing departure and

for bus passengers
The No. 39 bus from Nykøbing Falster proceeds along
Gedser Landevej and turns down Langgade. The last
stop and turnaround used to be outside Langgade 32,
Torvet. From here, passengers for the ferry had to
walk along Moltzaugade to the terminal building. Bus
arrival/departure times were not co-ordinated with
ferry arrivals/departures. Since 1 July 2010, the bus
has gone all the way to the existing terminal, and the
bus terminus at Torvet now serves simply as a bus
stop. Bus arrivals/departures are now co-ordinated
with ferry arrivals/departures.
The existing bus turnaround at the ferry terminal.

future arrival and
for bus passengers
Recommendations – bus
-
in general, consideration should be given to
how the bus stops are located in relation to
passenger servicing
On the new route, the No. 39 bus still approaches
Gedser from Gedser Landevej. From the new road
system, the bus continues into the town and down
Langgade. New bus stops will be created on Langgade.
The bus turns into Moltzaugade and the bus terminus/
turnaround is at the new passenger terminal. At the
terminus, the local bus can make use of the shared
facilities in the terminal building: waiting room, ticket
machine, WCs and tourist information. This creates a
local hub of regional traffic.
At the exit via the roundabout from Langgade, the
new system of traffic lights will allow buses to proceed
without a long wait so that the bus timetable can be
adhered to.

Recommendations – concourse
-
the concourse should be divided into zones
for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicular traffic
-
proposal for concourse
at the future passenger
terminal building
information stands should be set up to
provide details of bus links as part of an intelligent traffic system
With the establishment of the new ferry berth west
and the refurbishment of the former station building
as a new passenger terminal, a new transport hub
could also be created in front of the building. The hub
could incorporate bus stops, a taxi rank, short-stay
parking, a “kiss & ride” function, waiting bays for cyclists boarding the ferry and possibly also staff parking. Grouping these functions together would make the
layout clear to passengers boarding and alighting from
the ferry.
-
special facilities for tourists should be con
sidered, such as tourist information, hotel
referrals, guides, route descriptions in the
region
-
secure link to the roundhouse via pedestrian crossing

parking
Today, foot passengers (and ferry staff) who wish to
park their cars have to leave them at the edges of
the terminal areas or along the roads in the town of
Gedser. There are not enough long-stay car parking
spaces for the ferry terminal.
Recommendations – parking
-
an analysis should be carried out concerning
requirements for parking in the vicinity of the
port for servicing foot passengers, staff and
day-trippers
-
It is advisable to provide one or more car parks for
and close to the future terminal building. A needs assessment survey could show the extent of the need
and the type of parking people want. For example,
if there is demand for a long-stay car park with surveillance, consideration could be given to siting this
beside the outlet centre to be established under the
proposed integrated plan.
it is advisable to create small car parks with
the option of surveillance
Consideration could also be given to incorporating an
area on the edge of the town as a supplement, e.g. the
area by the entrance to Gedser from the north. This
could then be supplemented with other functions such
as a petrol station and a small supermarket.

Existing buildings
The primary structure at the ferry terminal in Gedser
dates from the time of the old ferry terminal in the
1880s. Only a few buildings from the old port have
been removed, including the old water tower and the
signal box. Accordingly, the structures at the port and
the officials’ residences in the town still stand as a
piece of unique cultural history from the “Golden Age
of the railway”.
At the heart of these is the roundhouse, with its
turntable and shunting yard. The former station still
served as a station up until the end of 2009, but is
about to see a change of use. Several of the other
original structures no longer serve their original purpose, but have undergone a gradual transformation.
The first station building by ferry berth 1 now accommodates the waiting room for foot passengers, and the
station master’s residence has been made into offices.
Over time, additional buildings needed to be added, including ticket sales facilities, fuel tanks and warehouse
facilities. These buildings were erected on the perimeter of the existing installations, so they do not look
unsightly. The masterplan proposes the removal of the
existing ticket sales building and a small warehouse
between the engine shed and the station.
The overall installation is bordered on both sides by
small areas of forest reserve.
The former station building, which was operational up until 2009.
25
Recommendations – the station building
-
the station building will be refurbished respecting the original building, with the original main structure being
retained; the sides will be enclosed with
a glass structure
-
the future passenger terminal, besides offering customer functions, should also include, for
example, tourist information, exhibition areas,
advertising/marketing and waiting areas/lounge
-
in refurbishing the station building as a terminal building, special consideration must be
given to disabled people and people with
mobility problems.
passenger terminal,
building 1
The station was operational until 2009, when the
Danish Parliament decided to shut down operations
between Nykøbing Falster and Gedser. The departure
hall dates from 1903 and was originally built to accommodate the expansion of ferry crossings at the
time. The building is located directly beside ferry berth
west and appears well maintained, with functioning
fixtures and fittings. At the sides of the station, there
are service facilities, WCs, a waiting room, offices and
ticket sales area. At the heart of the station the open
departures hall is constructed as a slender cast-iron
structure with light intake in the ridge.
In the same way as when it served as a station, this
building can accommodate several functions and be a
point on the journey that provides inspiration and enjoyment of travel within the local area and the region.
The history of the building as a station can be retained
in the surfaces, fixtures and fittings. There could also
be information displays to narrate the history of the
building.
The existing station building and future terminal building interior
26
passenger terminal,
building 1
The new passenger terminal will be refurbished respecting the well-preserved architecture of the building. It is proposed that both ends of the building be
enclosed with a glass facade of simple modern style to
provide views of the ferry, the approach
areas and the engine shed. The hall will retain its
present character so that it can be used for largescale activities such as concerts, exhibitions and other
tourism-related activities.
From the hall, there is an exit to a corridor with access
up to the foot passenger bridge either via stairs or
via a lift. The lift will be arranged as a combination of
disabled access lift and staff lift with capacity for up
to 12 persons. From here, there is free access to the
ferry via the foot passenger bridge.
The actual tracks in the hall will be filled in and the
railway sleepers will be removed, but these will be reused in a new surface, flush with the rest of the floor
level. Benches will be mounted on the “rails” so that
the space can be used as a waiting area most months
of the year. The side areas out towards
the arrivals concourse will be fitted out based on the
existing layout: foyer, ticket machines, a heated waiting room, office and WCs with disabled access. The
side buildings will be fitted out for operations use and
for ferry catering services.
In the waiting area and ticket sales area, information
boards will be set up to display bus and ferry departure times (with details of any delays, etc.), a calendar
of activities in Gedser and Nykøbing Falster, etc., as
well as other services for tourists in the area. The actual ferry terminal area and its story can be narrated
by means of presentations on the walls and on the
“platform”. A web-based system of tourist and transport information will also be provided.
Level access to the new passenger terminal will be
established by the concourse along the building.

Recommendations – materials building, etc.
-
the building retains its present look and feel as part of the original historical installations
-
an option should be provided to retain the
original entrance on the south side of the main building
- a future security perimeter fence should be
located a respectful distance from the main
building
-
The four-winged installation from the early 1900s is
centrally located in the port between ferry berth west
and ferry berth 1. Originally, the garden of the station master’s residence extended right down to the
quayside. Today, the building installation is used as an
office, warehouse and sleeping accommodation building for Scandlines staff.
In the integrated plan, the building installation retains
its current function.

Recommendations – roundhouse
-
Together with an old ferry in the terminal, the
roundhouse can be incorporated into a unique
transport museum
-
The roundhouse can be fitted out with facilities
for clubs and associations in Gedser, and can
also be incorporated into a community centre
-
the areas around the roundhouse can be
incorporated into future recreational areas
-
a link will be established between the future passenger terminal and the roundhouse

roundhouse,

The interior and exterior of the roundhouse are now
somewhat dilapidated. Many of the original windows,
doors, details, etc., of the building have been preserved, but require thorough renovation. The roundhouse was established as a round roundhouse with a
turntable for 12 tracks. The initial steps have been
taken to have the roundhouse (“Gedser Remise”)
preserved as a listed building, and contacts have been
made with funds that could contribute to covering the
costs of restoring the roundhouse to the appearance
of its original building materials. The roundhouse is
unique, partly because it was built in four stages, and
partly because it incorporates the large water tower,
the central landmark of Gedser, and finally because
the entire structure has been preserved, complete
with smithy, water tanks and crew room.
The future use of the roundhouse will above all be as
an engine shed, with three railway associations using
the roundhouse for their veteran trains, and as a starting point, veteran railway operations between Gedser
and Nykøbing Falster are envisaged, with steam locomotives and diesel trains. It is also conceivable that
the roundhouse could be used as a starting point for
handcar and velocipede rides. The many rooms of the
engine shed could be used for many different types of
cultural and outreach activities, such as various performances, evening classes (e.g. smithying), artisan
workshops, changing rooms and bathing facilities for
various indoor and outdoor activities and, of course, as
a railway museum with a café.

Recommendations – existing terminal
-
the appearance of the building will be preserved
as a significant quayside building
-
the important location of the building on the
quayside means that, going forward, it can be
used for outreach functions in connection with
port activities or possibly for recreational/
tourism-r elated functions
The present terminal building, which dates from 1886,
was originally built as the first station for the ferry terminal. Today, it no longer has platforms or a rail link,
so its actual intended function as a railway station is
less apparent. However, the building is well preserved
and has been refurbished without any unsightly extensions, etc. It is currently used by Scandlines as a passenger terminal, with ticket sales and a waiting room
to service the ferry crossing between Gedser and
Rostock. The foot passenger bridge and lift are located
on the quay between the building and the terminal.
The building could remain a striking feature on the
quayside. There could also be an information display
to narrate the history of the building. Future use will
primarily be as office facilities as well as the reserve
access building for ferry berth 1.

Recommendations – three existing
warehouse buildings
-
In connection with a potential refurbishment of the buildings, it is recommended giving the buildings a facelift, including a change of
colour scheme.
-
parking and warehousing around the buildings
should be upgraded.
-
the important position of the buildings in the integrated plan means consideration could
be given to whether, in the long term, there should be a change of use or whether they
should be removed entirely to make way for
development of functions relevant to the port
that support the development of a maritime
harbour environment
Recommendations – warehouse
-
the building is part of the original port
installations. It is not feasible to retain the
building on its present site. Consideration could
be given to relocating the building in connection
with the port development plans.
-
It is recommended that the building should be
thoroughly documented by photography prior to
demolition, if relocation is not feasible. Photo
graphs could be included in the narrative of the
history of the port, e.g. presented in the
passenger terminal hall.
Recommendations – payment installation
-
this building is not of any particular value and
will be demolished in connection with the port
development plans.
-

existing warehouses,
building 5
There are currently three warehouses within the
same area in the ferry terminal. Going forward, Scandlines will not require all three buildings. This means
that one of the large warehouses and the smaller
warehouse could instead be used for port-related
purposes, or they could be demolished. Demolition
would make room for more of the functions incorporated in the development plan of the town of Gedser
and the port.
