history
In the course of its history, the name of the Forst railway station has changed several times. The following names existed: Forst, Forst (Laus), Forst (Lausitz), Forst (Niederlausitz) and again Forst (Lausitz). The latter designation is also documented for October 1914.
In July 2011, work began on converting the station to new signal box technology. Shortly afterwards, the renovation of further tracks and points was completed. The cost of the entire work was around 6.5 million euros, which was financed by the federal government. For about six weeks, from October 23 to December 5, 2011, Forst could not be served due to the changeover. Replacement buses have been set up between Cottbus and Forst . The then still operated EC line 99 and freight trains had to be diverted. The old signal box on Berliner Straße became the service center for the new electronic signal box (ESTW). Since December 5, 2011 at 3:30 a.m., he has been controlling the train and shunting operations. Since then, four level crossings from the station to the border have been controlled by Forst station. The other four old signal boxes were dismantled. A barrier-free to allow access to trains, elevated to the platforms.
In November 2014 the reception building was auctioned for € 15,000. Some parts of the Forster population wanted the city to buy the train station. However, this was not implemented and a private investor bought it.
