The train station is in the north of the city of Hermsdorf. The center of the eponymous municipality of Bad Klosterlausnitz is about one and a half kilometers away. The adjacent streets are Am Bahnhof and Eisenberger Straße . The next station to the west is the paper mill stop about five kilometers away. To the east it is the Kraftsdorf stop , which is about seven kilometers further away.
history
The inauguration of the station took place on July 28, 1876. The next day it was opened to public transport. At the time of commissioning, there was a post and telegraph office in the station building, and later also a restaurant. Both postcards and tickets could be purchased at the same counter.
In 1903 72 wagons with 700 quintals were handled in the station. On July 25, 1932, a large-scale exercise by the Hermsdorf medical team under the direction of the column doctor Dr. Cobbler instead. In July 1936 the freight yard was expanded.
On the morning of April 11, 1945, an ammunition train was hit during a bombing raid and exploded. Most of the forest in the area around the signal box was destroyed. Houses in its vicinity were also badly damaged as a result. Large quantities of this ammunition were simply left in a sink and were only resurrected when the bus station was rebuilt. The recovery of those was associated with a lot of effort.
The street, which was called Bahnhofstraße until December 21, 1951, was renamed Josef-Stalin-Straße on that day. In 1952 the station forecourt was redesigned. A small park was built at the station in 1964. Another renovation of the forecourt followed a year later. The bus station was built there. An outbuilding at the station was demolished in 1974. Until then, it served as a water supply for toilets and steam locomotives. In the same year the reception building was expanded. On July 3, 1976, celebrations took place on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Weimar – Gera railway line. Numerous people gathered at the Hermsdorf train station for this purpose. In 1977 all construction work was completed. On April 3, 1978, the Mitropa restaurant went back into operation. A new crane system was purchased in 1986.

The planning approval procedure for the new construction of the station bridge was initiated on February 19, 2000 . It was planned to build it 1.20 meters higher than the previous bridge. Initially, the city lacked the required additional payment from Deutsche Bahn. On January 6, 2001, the construction of the bridge was initially postponed. The Federal Minister of Transport at the time, Kurt Bodewig , initially stopped the further construction of the Central-Germany connection.
On February 10th of the same year it was announced that the station would be reconstructed. On April 3, Deutsche Bahn installed a new track in the station. Construction work began on April 22nd. A tunnel with an elevator was built. The tunnel segment in the track area was sunk on July 19. During the work on the station forecourt, 1772 incendiary bombs and two smoke bodies from the Second World War were uncovered , which represented a complex clearance. On March 15, 2004, the old bridge from 1875 was demolished. On October 29, the bridge was opened together with a new roundabout and the renovated Eisenacher Straße.
On February 9, 2008, two thieves were removing rails from a siding with a welding torch. You were caught red-handed. The signal box at the station bridge, which was decommissioned on September 28, 2006, was torn down on May 28, 2008. There were two signal boxes in total. Both were mechanical structures of the Jüdel type. Today all these activities are controlled centrally from Leipzig . The goods shed opposite the train station was also demolished in May 2009. A new ticket machine went into operation in October 2009. On the part of the passengers, the criticism arose several times that the station was in a messy and not clean condition. From now on, an external company will clean it twice a week. As of April 11, 2011, a council decision has incurred costs for parking in front of the train station. On April 8, 2013, a private investor acquired the then vacant reception building.

Transport offer
The Hermsdorf-Klosterlausnitz station was originally one of the stations on the Weimar - Gera line, which were served by the long-distance trains that ran there. However, not all long-distance trains stopped there, and the interregional trains, which were used as the last long-distance trains from 1993 until 2001, did not serve the station. In addition to long-distance traffic, which was also important for the spa in Bad Klosterlausnitz, the station was and is primarily important for commuter and shopping traffic to the two neighboring centers of Jena and Gera .
Before the Second World War , only a few long-distance trains ran on the route. In the 1938 summer timetable, these were two express trains and one express train , all of which stopped in Hermsdorf-Klosterlausnitz:
- E65 / 66 Chemnitz - Gera - Hermsdorf-Klosterlausnitz - Erfurt - Gotha - Eichenberg - Kassel - Bad Wildungen (and back)
- E97 / 98 Chemnitz - Gera - Hermsdorf-Klosterlausnitz - Weimar (and back)
- D90 / 89 Eger - Gera - Hermsdorf-Klosterlausnitz - Weimar with through car and sleeping car to Cologne - Mönchengladbach - Vlissingen (and back)
There were also ten daily passenger trains in each direction, an early weekday train to Gera starting in Hermsdorf-Klosterlausnitz, and a pair of trains on weekends (Saturdays in the direction of Gera, Sundays in the direction of Jena).
After the war, the route via Hermsdorf-Klosterlausnitz only gradually gained importance as the southernmost east-west connection in the GDR. In the timetable year 1965/66 there were two express trains and two express trains, of which only the two express trains stopped in Hermsdorf-Klosterlausnitz:
- E265 / 266 Görlitz - Dresden - Chemnitz - Zwickau - Gera - Hermsdorf-Klosterlausnitz - Erfurt (and back)
- E269 / 270 Zwickau - Gera - Hermsdorf-Klosterlausnitz - Erfurt - Eisenach (back already from Bad Salzungen)
The passenger train supply had rather deteriorated compared to pre-war times. There were only seven pairs of passenger trains left daily, plus three pairs of trains came from Hermsdorf-Klosterlausnitz to Gera and back on weekdays.
The Reichsbahn gradually increased its long-distance transport offer on the route via Hermsdorf. For example, almost all express trains stopped there again in 1984. Overall, passengers were able to use one express train and three D trains in the direction of Jena, and one express train and two D trains in the direction of Gera. With ten pairs of trains between Jena and Gera, the passenger train service had reached the pre-war level again, and there was another train in the direction of Gera and a pair of trains between Hermsdorf-Klosterlausnitz and Gera every working day.
After the reunification , the long-distance transport offer was initially significantly expanded. In the 1990/91 winter timetable, in addition to a pair of express trains, five pairs of express trains and a few other seasonal and public holiday trains stopped. Two pairs of trains ran to and from Düsseldorf, all others stayed in the Reichsbahn area. Compared to 1985, the number of passenger trains had only been increased by one pair of trains.
Just a few years later, however, the station's long-distance services were noticeably reduced. In the 1993/94 timetable year only one D-train pair Chemnitz - Erfurt stopped in Hermsdorf-Klosterlausnitz, the newly introduced Interregios of the line 41 from Chemnitz to Aachen ran through. However, there were additional express trains from Erfurt to Gera and on to Altenburg, Zwickau or Greiz, which also stopped in Hermsdorf-Klosterlausnitz, in the intervals between the interregios, which only run every four hours. The number of normal passenger trains, newly designated as local trains, remained the same. They were also only gradually clocked in the following years .
Since the late 1990s, Hermsdorf-Klosterlausnitz has been served exclusively by local rail passenger trains. Their range of services was expanded significantly at the same time as the long-distance service was reduced; on working days, both regional trains and regional express trains run every hour.
Deutsche Bahn assigns the Hermsdorf-Klosterlausnitz station to category 5. At the time of the Reichsbahn , people spoke of a fourth class station.
