The Hagenwerder station is the station of the Görlitz district of Hagenwerder . The station is the southernmost station in the Görlitz city area. The station was opened in 1875 with the Görlitz – Seidenberg railway line and was a separation station from the time when the railway line through the Neißetal to Zittau converged until 1945 . For transit station it was only after the demolition of the Neisse bridge of Görlitz-Seidenberger train south of the village in 1945 and the subsequent dismantling of the main tracks on the German side.
location
The station is located west of the town center of Hagenwerder and is separated from the town by federal highway 99 . The station building is set back a few meters from the street. Since the end of 2010, a local traffic junction between bus and train traffic has been built north of the station on the site of the goods shed. The goods sheds were demolished for this in 2010.
history
The station has existed since operations began on the Görlitz – Seidenberg line on July 1, 1875. At that time, the station and the town had the Slavic name Nickrisch . Only after 1880 did the c gradually disappear from the place name. In October of the same year the line branching off south of the station to Zittau was opened and the station thus became a separation station. With the double-track expansion between Görlitz and Nikrisch in 1909, the separation station also received a third platform to cope with the higher volume of traffic. It reached its greatest extent between the two world wars. The station had six continuous tracks, three butt tracks , seventeen switches and two sidings. The sidings served the wire factory and the lignite works. At that time, south of the station, between the branching lines to Zittau and Seidenberg, there was a round locomotive shed with three stalls that could be operated via a turntable and supposedly in 1896 after the Royal Saxon State Railways took over the part of the Neißetalbahn on Saxon territory . Thus the Prussian and Saxon state railways now collided in Hagenwerder . Until the end of the Second World War , the border remained in the form of the adjoining Reichsbahn divisions of Breslau and Dresden . In 1904 two signal boxes (Nikrisch Nordbude Nnb and Nikrisch Südbude Nsb ) were built in the station area. They replaced the previous switchman booths.
During the National Socialist rule, as in other German places, place names of Slavic origin were renamed. The place has been called Hagenwerder since 1937 . The old name can still be read faintly on the street side of the reception building on the right above the entrance door.
Due to the blown up Neisse bridges during the last days of the war, no traffic to Zittau or Seidenberg was possible for the time being. The first train to Zittau ran on September 9, 1945. Traffic to Seidenberg was never resumed. Only a stump remained of the route. Furthermore, the line to Görlitz lost its second track and the station lost its third platform and the locomotive shed. During the 1960s, the two signal boxes were given new names. The interlocking Hsb became the command signal box B2 and Hnb to guard interlocking W1. In the 1980s the station was expanded again to seven station tracks. The reason for this were bottlenecks in the coal supply from the Berzdorf open-cast lignite mine southwest of the train station . In addition to Berzdorf lignite , trains from other lignite opencast mines in the GDR brought lignite. In 1989, a thawing hall was built for freight trains with coal that had frozen solid during the journey and the electrification of four station tracks with 1.2 kV DC voltage began. Thus the power plant's own locomotives could take over the wagons in the station. After the reunification, however, the Hagenwerder power plant and the coal production required for its operation was certified as unprofitable. In 1993 the dismantling of the station electrification, which had been completed two years earlier, began. Four years later, coal-fired power generation in the Hagenwerder power plant was stopped and the power plant began to be demolished. The station was dismantled as a result of the closure. In September 2002, tracks 3 to 6 were dismantled.
today
In 2009 there were still two tracks and platforms 1 and 2. On the ground floor of the station building there is a restaurant after the ticket office has moved out. A museum was set up on the upper floor by an interest group that deals with the history of the power plant and the nearby open-cast mine.

During the Neisse flood on 7./8. August 2010 , large parts of the Neißetalbahn and a section of the railway line towards Görlitz near Deutsch-Ossig were washed away or destroyed. On August 7th, operations could only be secured between Görlitz and Hagenwerder. The southern parts of the Neißetalbahn in Hirschfelde were already under water at this point. In the evening of the same day, large parts of Hagenwerder were flooded by the Neisse and Pließnitz, a tributary of the Neisse which flows into the Neisse south of the town. On August 8th, operations were no longer possible due to the destruction.
Railway lines
The kilometers of the Neißetalbahn to Zittau begin at Hagenwerder station. In contrast, the kilometers indicated on the section between Görlitz and Hagenwerder refer to the distance to Berlin, as this section was built and operated by the Berlin-Görlitz Railway Company . The Görlitz – Hagenwerder section is part of the Görlitz – Seidenberg railway (today: Zawidów ). This swiveled south of the train station towards the east, crossed the Lausitz Neisse south of Hagenwerder and continued towards Seidenberg. In 1945 the Neisse bridge was destroyed and later the siding dismantled. Today only the bridgeheads remind of the bridge.
Transport links
Today the station is served every hour by trains of the East German Railway (ODEG) on the route Zittau - Hagenwerder - Görlitz - Weißwasser - Cottbus (line RB65).
Public transport connection point
A public transport connection point with a bus turning loop, three stops and parking spaces for twelve cars and 30 bicycles was set up at Hagenwerder station , which was inaugurated in 2011. The total cost of the first construction phase was around 725,000 euros. The Free State of Saxony contributed at least 100,000 euros to the project. The Upper Lusatia-Lower Silesia Transport Association bore the remaining costs with 575,000 euros and the city of Görlitz with 50,000 euros. In the second construction phase, Deutsche Bahn will build two new platforms with step-free access and direct connections to the bus stops over the next few years. The total costs of the second construction phase are around 850,000 euros.
