history
The station was opened on July 15, 1851 together with the Reichenbach – Plauen section of the Leipzig – Hof railway line. Initially, the facilities consisted of five tracks, the reception building and the goods facilities with goods shed, loading ramp and loading lane. With the construction of the Vogtland State Railway (Herlasgrün – Eger) from 1863, the facilities were only expanded by two tracks, since Herlasgrün was to remain a relatively insignificant station. The passenger trains to Elster began and ended after the opening of the Herlasgrün – Eger line on November 1, 1865 in Reichenbach.
Only with the construction of the Plauen – Oelsnitz connecting line, which was opened in 1874, was the Herlasgrüner station significantly expanded, as the Oelsnitz – Eger section was operated together with the new connecting line. From then on, separate trains ran on the remaining Herlasgrün – Falkenstein section. In addition to a new station building in a wedge location, numerous new tracks, a small locomotive station was built here. The old station building was still used as a residential building. In the following decades, the station was expanded several times, until a major renovation took place in the 1890s. The connecting curve between the two railway lines that still exists today was also built.
Individual tracks were removed by 1989/90, and major dismantling did not begin until the end of the 1990s. The only new building was a platform on the connecting curve, today there are only three tracks left on the Leipzig – Hof route. The station has also lost its former importance as an express train stop.
Herlasgrün locomotive station
The Herlasgrün locomotive station set up in 1874 consisted of an 11.6 m turntable , a two-tier boiler house and a coal shed.
The locomotive station was dissolved around 1900 with the expansion of the Falkenstein locomotive station . Most recently locomotives of the class H III were stationed here. The locomotive shed was demolished in the 1900s, the turntable remained until the early 1970s.
