The Dürrhennersdorf station is an operating point of the standard-gauge Ebersbach – Löbau railway and the former Taubenheim – Dürrhennersdorf narrow- gauge railway that begins here . The station acted as an intermediate station for the standard gauge area and as a terminus for the narrow gauge area. Since December 14, 2002, no train has stopped at the station that was dismantled from the stop.
history
The station was opened on November 1, 1873 as an intermediate station on the Ebersbach – Löbau railway line. There is no information in the literature about the track systems of that time. It is no longer known exactly whether it consisted of two tracks or more. Exact information is only available after the Taubenheim – Dürrhennersdorf narrow-gauge railway was added in 1892. From then on, the station had five tracks with 13 simple switches in the standard gauge area and eight tracks and ten simple switches in the narrow-gauge area (including the rolling carriage pit and engine shed track). The train station is on the level, the route from Löbau to Ebersbach / Sa. is on a slope. In the direction of Ebersbach / Sa. moving trains were able to gain momentum in the station area .
Two of the narrow-gauge tracks were laid out as bypass tracks next to track 1. These two tracks were intended for passenger traffic and ended in front of the reception building (ground floor). The standard gauge area consisted of the three tracks south of the reception building, which were intended for crossing trains and a loading route. There were also two tracks to the north of the building that were used to exchange goods with the narrow-gauge railway. The reloading hall and the trolley pit as well as another side loading ramp were available here. In addition, the station had high-rise buildings, goods sheds, farm buildings, wagon sheds, civil servants' houses, a two-tier locomotive shed with coal bunkers , water crane and inspection pit , a wagon scale, a second goods shed and a railroad keeper's house at the entrance to Ebersbach / Sa. out.
This signal box had the task of coming from Ebersbach / Sa. to guide arriving trains either into the through tracks or into the lane change area. The station building was expanded as part of the construction of the narrow-gauge railway. From the entrance from the direction of Löbau it was possible to lead the trains to the lane change area or the through tracks. The transfer to the lane change area took place between the ground floor and the narrow-gauge tracks. Standard and narrow-gauge tracks crossed between standard-gauge tracks 1 and 4. The station had two platforms; one for the narrow-gauge railway and the train to Ebersbach / Sa., the second for the trains to Löbau.
When the company opened, trolleys were already in use , and from 1928 trolleys were used on the narrow-gauge railway. The latter could initially only be treated via the trolley pit in Taubenheim station . There were decisive interventions in the tracks of the Dürrhennersdorf train station in 1945. The Taubenheim – Dürrhennersdorf narrow-gauge railway, which was part of the reparations payments to the Soviet Union, was dismantled. With the dismantling, standard gauge track 4 and probably the connecting track in front of the station building were also removed. All buildings were preserved and were used by an LPG .
At the end of the 1970s, tracks 3 and 5 were also removed. All of the tracks were now south of the reception building. The existing high-rise buildings were used by other commercial tenants. Later (the exact date is not known) the entry point from the direction of Ebersbach / Sa. For the sake of clarity, moved to the straight station area and removed the intermediate platform. In 1989, an EZMG signal box was installed in the station building . In 1995 this signal box was opened again. Probably at the same time, track 2 was removed. The level crossing at the ground floor is secured by a half barrier system.
Despite the discontinued railway operations, many buildings at the station are in good condition; the reloading hall and the locomotive shed from the narrow-gauge era are available, only the goods shed was demolished in 2007.
Platforms
At the time of its greatest expansion, the station had two platforms, an island platform for the narrow-gauge trains and the standard-gauge trains to Ebersbach / Sa. next to track 1 and a platform for the trains going to Löbau between tracks 1 and 2.
The latter platform was removed in 1995, so that only the house platform remains.
traffic
It is known from the narrow-gauge railway that the main traffic took place between Taubenheim and Oppach and only a few travelers drove to Dürrhennersdorf.
In 1905 there were six pairs of trains running on the standard-gauge line. In 1960 there were eight pairs of trains using the station. The trains here mainly operated as light railcars . In 1978 a pair of express trains is said to have passed through the station. The station gained greater importance through the border traffic from Rumburg . Significant loads were sometimes passed on via the Löbau direction. Is known from the time before 1989 z. B. the bauxite traffic. In the opposite direction, before 1989 the station had seven trains daily through local goods trains from Schlauroth to Ebersbach / Sa.
Engine shed Dürrhennersdorf
For the narrow-gauge railway, the station had a two-tier locomotive shed for the repair and storage of locomotives. Compared to the one in Taubenheim / Spree , which was designed with two gables, this one only had one gable. It was apparently sufficient for operation on the narrow-gauge railway, because no extensions can be seen to this day.
The locomotives of the IK and IV K series were located here . After the line was dismantled, the locomotive shed was not removed, but used as a garage. Some partition walls were also drawn in.
