history
The station was opened on May 15, 1878 by the Bavarian State Railroad together with the Schnabelwaid - Marktredwitz (today part of the Nuremberg - Cheb line) and Marktredwitz - Holenbrunn (today part of the Regensburg - Hof line) as a through station. The expansion to the crossing station took place with the opening of the branch to Schirnding on November 20, 1879 (later extended to Cheb, both today parts of the Nuremberg - Cheb line) and the connection to Wiesau (today part of the Regensburg - Hof line) on June 1 Took place in 1882.
Before the Second World War , Marktredwitz was an important railway junction for all of Europe. The lines Rome - Munich - Berlin - Stockholm and Paris - Nuremberg - Prague crossed here . Over a hundred trains left the station every day in the four directions. Even after the opening of the border , the Marktredwitz train station played an important role. For many GDR citizens, it was the first opportunity to leave the overcrowded trains that passed the border via Hof , or that coming from Cheb , stopped at the station.
Until 2006, Marktredwitz was the stop of the InterCity connection Nuremberg - Hof - Dresden, since its termination Marktredwitz has been served by the Franken-Sachsen-Express (FSX), which has replaced the former IC line in regional traffic. After the electrification of the Reichenbach - Hof line, this connection was also discontinued. Since then, the RE only operate on the Nuremberg - Hof route.
