location
The Gera-Liebschwitz train station is located at 4.084 km of the Gera Süd – Weischlitz railway line .
It lies in the area of the Taubenpreskel district. The center of the eponymous district of Liebschwitz is located about one and a half kilometers to the south-east. About 500 meters further south, the route crosses the White Elster .
In a northerly direction, the closest station is the also disused stop Gera Ost, about one and a half kilometers away. The Wünschendorf (Elster) Nord stop, two kilometers away, is the next stop in the south.
history
On October 10, 1889, the municipal councils of Liebschwitz, Taubenpreskel, Lietzsch , Lengefeld , Niebra , Pösneck , Otticha , Untitz and Meilitz approached the High Estates Assembly of the Kingdom of Saxony with a request for the construction of a railway line near Liebschwitz . They saw the absolute need for a train station in Liebschwitz. The number of wagon loads sent by rail from the Wolfsgefärth train station, which was also used at the time, is numbered as follows from 1888: Zoitz spinning mill (230), Zoitzmühle (170), grain and feed store (20), steam brewery (16) and the Taubenpreskel cigar factory (12). In total there are 608 truckloads of 200 quintals .
On December 1, 1892, an operating point went into operation on the newly opened section of the line in Liebschwitz as a stop for passenger and freight traffic. From May 1, 1905, Liebschwitz was a train station . With the double-track expansion of the line in the period from 1908 to 1911, the station was expanded.
The station building with goods floor was built in 1892.
On August 22, 1912, the Saxon King Friedrich August of Saxony visited the Liebschwitz enclave . He reached the station on a special train at 9:44 a.m.

In 1918 there were plans to build a 180-meter-long central platform with access to the platforms via a passenger tunnel and an overpass for the tracks at the northern end of the platform. However, these projects were not implemented.

In 1919 a waiting room was added. In 1930 a signal box was added. It was a single-storey extension with a floor area of 63 m² with two waiting rooms. On the street side was the room for the first and second class. The simpler rooms had a size of 29 m² and were on the track side. In the part of the building, which had existed since 1892, there were service rooms, ticket issuance, a chief's room, a hall and a worker's room. An attempt by the municipal council of Taubenpresismen to rename the station after its location failed. A retired train driver applied in 1925 to run a pub in the third and fourth class of cars. He paid a rent of 30 Reichsmark and received permission to do so.
The loading route was used particularly heavily during World War II . A particularly large number of goods were transported by rail. Potato cabbage was also transported by wagon. On August 18, 1940, at 12:30 a.m. and 1:00 a.m., there was an air raid on the station. Despite a time fuse that exploded six hours after the attack, there was little damage. On April 6, 1945 there was again an air raid on pigeon presles. As a result, an exit point at the Liebschwitz train station was so badly damaged that it had to be replaced by the Wünschendorf railway maintenance office . Due to several attacks, this dragged on for two days. Until 1946 there were several damaged steam locomotives on the track in the direction of Gera, until the second track had to be dismantled.
Until the cessation of passenger traffic on October 21, 2016, lines RE 3 ( Erfurt Hbf - Greiz (- Elsterberg )) and VL 4 ( Gera Hbf - Weischlitz ) served the station. The shutdown of the route section and thus also the station was completed on October 24, 2016.
Gera-Liebschwitz was last listed as a category 6 train station in 2016 .
