The Zgorzelec Station is a Keilbahnhof the city Zgorzelec in the west of Lower Silesia . The station is also under its former name Moys b. Görlitz (from May 15, 1933 Görlitz-Moys ) known.
location
The train station is located south of the center of Zgorzelec, on the periphery of a newly built residential area and west of the Ujazd district (Moys until 1945) .
East of the Neißeviadukt , where the German-Polish border also runs, the railway line to Lubań ( Lauban ) and the railway line to Węgliniec ( Kohlfurt ) separate in front of the station . The two lines run south and north of the station building.
It has two modernized platforms in the direction of Görlitz (track 1) and Węgliniec (track 2) and two in the direction of Lubań .
history
With the opening of the branch line of the Lower Silesian-Märkische Eisenbahn from Kohlfurt to Görlitz on September 1, 1847, the village of Moys was on the railway line, but received no train stop. When the construction of the line to Lauban and Hirschberg in the Giant Mountains began in 1865, both lines met here in Moys and continued to Görlitz station . With the opening of the Silesian Mountain Railway, the place received a stop on the mountain railway. For the time being, no stop was planned at the Kohlfurt Railway. It was not until 1876 that Moys received its current station building. At the turn of the century Moys developed into a prosperous small town, so in 1901 an application was made to expand the station and build an underpass for Hof-Allee in Moys. However, since it would have been necessary to raise the Kohlfurt line by about two meters for the underpass, the project was rejected by the regional council in Liegnitz. After the rejection, they refrained from redesigning the station. It has largely been preserved in its former form to this day. On September 1, 1923, the now electrified line between Görlitz and Lauban was opened and thus the station also became part of the electrified Silesian railway network .
When the Neisse Viaduct was blown up on the evening of May 7, 1945 by Wehrmacht units, the station was separated from the western Reich territory. The following day the city was occupied by Soviet troops. With the end of the Second World War in 1945 and the cession of the Silesian areas east of the Oder-Neisse Line to Poland under the Potsdam Agreement , the station came under the administration of the Polish State Railways (PKP) and was renamed Zgorzelec-Ujazd .
However, all of Silesian electrified lines fell under Soviet reparation claims in July 1945 and were dismantled in August of the same year. Today only the masts on the station area and on its exits are a reminder of the electric rail operation on the line to Lubań ( Lauban ).
Its importance declined sharply with the construction of the more central Zgorzelec Miasto station on the route to Węgliniec ( Kohlfurt ) and a new connecting curve built in 1948 that made it possible to bypass the Zgorzelec-Ujazd station from and to Lubań ( Lauban ) to the Zgorzelec Miasto station .
Another renaming of the station led to its current official name Zgorzelec .
From the 1970s to the 1990s, the station even had long-distance European express train connections with through coaches to Paris and even Moscow.
With the timetable change in December 2019, electric rail traffic on the route to Węgliniec and a direct intercity connection to the state capital Warsaw were added.
today
In 2006 and 2007, the track body was comprehensively modernized and platforms 1 and 2 (from and to Węgliniec ( Kohlfurt )) were rebuilt as part of a German-Polish agreement on cooperation in the further development of the railway connections from 2003.
From September 30, 2002 to December 13, 2008, passenger train traffic between Zgorzelec and Lubań ( Lauban ) was suspended and was temporarily resumed on December 14, 2008 with two pairs of trains, but suspended again on September 1, 2009. The through regional trains to Wrocław Główny ( Breslau Hbf ) and the express train to Warszawa ( Warsaw ) also fell victim to the timetable change. On December 11, 2011, the Koleje Dolnośląskie (KD) resumed passenger traffic between Zgorzelec and Lubań Śląski with five pairs of trains on the Węgliniec – Zgorzelec – Jelenia Góra route. Since March 1, 2012, only four of the five pairs of trains have been running through Zgorzelec station.
In addition, three cross-border regional express train pairs of the Dresden-Wrocław-Express from Dresden Hbf via Bautzen , Görlitz and on via Legnica to Wrocław Główny ( Breslau Hbf ) stopped at this station from March 1, 2009 to February 28, 2015 . Cross-border traffic to Görlitz was resumed in December 2015 with several train pairs daily through the Koleje Dolnośląskie .
Furthermore, some regional trains of the Koleje Dolnośląskie to Węgliniec ( Kohlfurt ) and Lubań in Zgorzelec begin .
