The Glauchau (Sachs) station (until 1941 Glauchau station ) is the station of Glauchau in southwest Saxony . With the Glauchau-Schönbörnchen stop , the city has another connection to the railway network.

history

On November 15, 1858, the Chemnitz – Zwickau section of the Dresden – Werdau line was opened together with the Glauchau station by the Royal Saxon State Railways . Initially, the 680 m long station had seven tracks with a total of 35 points. As early as 1869, the platforms had to be extended. After the line from Glauchau to Penig was opened on May 10, 1875, the station, which was now a separation station, was expanded from 1876 to 1880. After that, the track system was over a kilometer long and comprised 62 switches.

In 1908, planning began for the fundamental expansion of the station, which in the meantime no longer met the traffic requirements. The actual construction work began in 1913, although it had to be interrupted due to the First World War; construction work could not be continued until 1923. Among other things, a new goods handling facility , four signal boxes, a railway maintenance office and two bridges over the Lungwitzbach were built . The tracks and the platforms have also been fundamentally changed and expanded. On April 30, 1926, the new Glauchau station went into operation.

During the Second World War , bombs were dropped on the station area several times. In an attack on April 11, 1945, 55 people were killed in a wagon, 54 of them were members of the Wehrmacht.

The Muldentalbahn was damaged in the flood of the century in August 2002 , so that the last passenger train ran on it on August 13, 2002; freight traffic had already ceased on July 1, 2000.

In mid-December 2014, the city of Glauchau bought the station building for 30,000 euros. The city thus anticipated an auction of the building. The city will take over operation of the building on January 1, 2015. As early as December 30, 2014, passenger-operated ticket sales will cease. The Mitteldeutsche Regiobahn has been operating its own ticket office in the station building since June 14, 2016.

With the opening of the Muldentalbahn in 1875, Glauchau station received a locomotive shed and turntable for the first time . In 1916 a completely new facility including the administration building was finally put into operation, at the same time Glauchau was elevated to the status of a railway depot (Bw). In 1919 an electric coaling plant was added, and a workshop was built in 1924.

As early as the early 1980s, the last steam locomotives were handed over to other Bws or taken out of service. As a result of the oil crisis in the GDR , steam locomotives were used again from 1984. It was not until June 12, 1988, as one of the last depots in the GDR, that the (renewed) last scheduled steam locomotive operation took place. Until April 24, 1990, steam locomotives from the Glauchau depot were occasionally used as part of Plandampf . On April 1, 1994, the Bw, which was temporarily in Oelsnitz / Erzgeb. and Rochlitz owned locomotive operations , dissolved.
