The Gernrode station is a listed station on the Selketalbahn in the town of Gernrode, part of the town of Quedlinburg in Saxony-Anhalt .
location
It is located east of Gernröder's old town at Otto-Franke-Straße 1 and is listed as a train station in the local monument register.
architecture
The station was built in 1885 for the standard gauge railway line Frose – Quedlinburg . A red brick reception building was built with an apartment for the station master . The facade is structured by both colored and plastic elements. There are side head structures covered by large hip roofs . The appearance of the building is therefore reminiscent of French country castles from the Renaissance period .
Inside the building is the cashier's office , the waiting room and the baggage handling still largely preserved in the original.
A half-timbered waiting hall open to the platform was added to the east . The platform itself was covered with a small paving made of natural stone, which has been preserved in the original . In addition to the main platform, there was a second bulk platform .
history
Directly opposite the standard gauge system, on the street side of the reception building, the station of the narrow-gauge Selketalbahn was built. There is a small reception building here. The decision to build this railway was made on April 11, 1885 on the Stubenberg . On August 7, 1887, the section between Gernrode and Mägdesprung was opened .
To the west of this is the former freight and reloading station with a goods shed and attached representative administration building. There is also a locomotive and railcar shed.
In 2004, the standard gauge line was closed on January 31. The section between Gernrode and Quedlinburg was converted into a narrow-gauge line, so that the Selketalbahn now runs via Gernrode to Quedlinburg. The narrow-gauge station was converted into a through station. The inauguration of the new section of the narrow-gauge railway took place on March 4, 2006. Scheduled traffic began on April 26, 2006.
Until December 31, 2011, Otto-Franke-Straße, where Gernrode train station is located, was called Bahnhofstraße.
