history
On October 1st, 1889, the line from Naumburg (Saale) to Reinsdorf went into operation. Due to the heavy traffic, more and more additional points and tracks were added. More railway personnel was also necessary. In 1909 the signal box was added. Local entrepreneurs mainly use the railroad as a means of transport. Important goods customers were the Rotkäppchen Sektkellerei , the Flemmig lime works and the agricultural trading cooperative during the GDR .
In the last peace timetable from 1914, eleven pairs of trains ran between Naumburg (Saale) and Lauche, one of which went through to Rossleben and five to Artern. In 1926, six to seven pairs of trains ran between Naumburg and Artern every day, running between about 5 a.m. and midnight. At that time the station was still called “Freyburg a. U. “In 1934 a small locomotive was used for the first time for shunting there.
Since 1946, large quantities of gravel have been handled in the Freyburg station. In 1957 there were more than 50 cars a day. Every autumn, 25-30 wagons of sugar beet were loaded every day. The transport of livestock also played a major role. In 1956, 266 wagons were brought to the slaughterhouses. In 1964 about 100 tank wagons with imported wines were unloaded. Until 1990, around 60 trains passed the station a day.
In the course of the extensive modernization of the Unstrutbahn in 2011/12, a new platform was built for passenger traffic in a different location, whereby 490,000 euros were invested. After a lengthy shutdown, operations were resumed on February 1, 2012. The trains stopped at the old station in Freyburg up to and including February 29th. On March 1, the new breakpoint finally went into operation. The old station has not been used for tourist traffic since then, and the platforms have been demolished. The city of Freyburg built a new public transport interface so that there is a bus stop right next to the stop.
The regional train line RB 77, which runs between Naumburg (Saale) Ost and Wangen, serves the stop every hour. Freyburg is regularly the destination of steam or diesel-driven special trains, for example the Rotkäppchen Express or the special trips to the wine festival.
