The Halle (Saale) Klaustor train station was a train station in Halle (Saale) . It was both the starting station and one of the most important stations on the Halle Klaustor – Hettstedt railway line . The train station was in the western city center of Halle on Mansfelder Strasse opposite the saltworks . The tracks ran from east to west. The station created the connection between the Halle – Hettstedt line and the Halle port railway , which ran between the Sophienhafen and the Halle (Saale) Thuringian freight yard .
Surname
The station is named after one of the six city gates of Halle, the Klaustor, which was about 500 meters from the station. This was canceled in the second half of the 19th century.
history
On December 31, 1896, the station was opened together with the entire Halle-Hettstedter Railway (HHE). At that time it was known as the “HHE main station” because there was never a direct train connection to Halle main station.
On February 29, 1968, passenger traffic on the route and thus also the station was stopped; the train stations in the west of the city of Halle on the former Halle-Hettstedter Railway received a direct connection to the main station with the construction of the new Halle-Neustadt housing estate , which is connected to the Halle – Hann. Münden branched off. With the cessation of freight traffic on September 28, 1968, the station finally lost its importance. The station facilities are no longer preserved; in its place is now the parking lot of a department store.
Station area
Due to the geographical conditions, the platform of the station was partly on the flood bridge of the Saale . In addition to the station building, the station also had a depot of the same name with a two-tier locomotive shed as well as a coal crane , coal bunker , water crane and slagging pit .
