The Camburg (Saale) Bahnhof is an operating agency of the Saal Railway in the formerly independent city Camburg that today Dornburg-Camburg in Saale-Holzland in Thuringia belongs. The station went into operation in 1874. In the period from 1897 to 1945 Camburg was a connecting station .
location
Camburg (Saale) train station is located at 8.14 kilometers of the Großheringen – Saalfeld (Saalbahn) line. In addition, it was the end point of the Zeitz – Camburg line in the period from 1897 to 1945 .
It is located about 500 meters south of the town center. The adjacent streets are Bahnhofstrasse and Georgstrasse .
Coming from the north, Camburg is the first train station on the route. The Abzw Großheringen Ghs is about seven kilometers away. The south-facing train station is Dornburg . It is also about seven kilometers away. On the earlier route to Zeitz, Crauschwitz is the next stop about six kilometers away.
history
With the commissioning of the Saalbahn on May 1, 1874, the Camburg train station went into operation with two tracks for passenger and freight traffic. The reception building is a basic type of train station on the Saalbahn. In the years to come, the systems no longer met the requirements and had to be expanded accordingly. The Camburg sugar factory received its own siding in September 1883, which it financed itself. Later this was used by a furniture factory and a grain trading company. In the same year, a third track was laid in the station.
With the construction of the line from Zeitz in 1896/97, further changes were made. In order to be able to dispatch the trains to Zeitz, track 1 was built. The locomotives had to turn around in Camburg. A turntable , engine shed and water tower were built for this purpose. There was also a machine station there, but it was closed around 1924. The Zeitz line finally went into operation on April 1, 1897. So Camburg was a connecting station .
In the course of further expansions after 1900, the signal boxes were also built. A siding to the Camburger mill was added.
From May 5, 1940, the route between Göschwitz and Camburg was electrically accessible. In May 1941, the section from Camburg to Großkorbetha was switched on.
In 1945 the Saale bridge near Camburg was blown up shortly before the US troops arrived . The Reichsbahn rebuilt it, but it soon had to be dismantled again due to reparations payments to the Soviet Union . As a result, no train has traveled to Camburg on the Zeitz route since 1945. In 1946 the overhead line was switched off and dismantled as part of the reparation payments to the Soviet Union.
From 1967 Camburg station became more and more important for traffic, because the newly built overhead line coming from the north ended here. Until the re-electrification in May 1995, almost all trains heading south had been transferred to Camburg. In the 1976 summer timetable this was even 54 trains per day. This required several hundreds of maneuvering movements. Freight trains were separated into freight groups to Naumburg (Saale) and Weißenfels . About 25 workers were required for each shift to provide truckloads for the connections and to shunt freight cars for shipping.
Some of the effects of the restructuring since German reunification and the economic crisis in 1991/92 also mark a turning point in the history of Camburg train station, in particular due to the decline in freight traffic. The grain trade, furniture and leather factory closed during this time. The loading of beets was also stopped. So since 1991 there has been no local freight traffic in Camburg that would be handled by rail. The connecting railways were shut down and later dismantled. The re-electrification of the Saalbahn made reclamping in Camburg unnecessary. As early as 1991 this was limited to freight trains. In 1992 the engine shed was demolished. The turntable was expanded in 1998.
Between 1999 and 2000 there were again particularly profound changes. The number of tracks and switches has been drastically reduced. In addition to the two continuous main tracks, only one passing track remained. Instead of the former 60 points for the function of the former station system, only six points are required since the renovations and the modernization of the railway system, and their operation is controlled by the Jena signal box.
In the spring of 2002, platforms 1 and 2 were rebuilt. They were laid out as external platforms with a length of 140 meters. Local ticket sales in the reception building ended in September 1995. It has not been accessible to the public since then. In 2004 it belonged to the Deutsche Bahn and was used as a residence for railway workers. In 1988 the building had an extension for the administration and a canteen. The roofing on platform 3 was preserved for monument protection reasons and was renovated. The entry signal from the direction of Dornburg, which was once at km 9.52, has been moved to km 8.72. This shortened the station by 800 meters.
In 2016, the reception building was auctioned by private individuals and a basic security and renovation of the ailing building began. The large-scale steam locomotive on the track on the facade of the building, which was moved with the help of the local population, also dates from this time. In the long term, the building is to be converted into a guest house with a café and beer garden. The building owner has had a building permit for the renovation work since June 17, 2019. The demolition and renovation work should be completed by May 1, 2024, as the Saalbahn would have been in existence for 150 years at that time.
