The station is located southwest of the Herzberger downtown just off the main road L 530 ; The federal highways 243 and 27 are about one kilometer away . To the west of the station is the Aue district, and to the north is the Kastanienplatz district. In the southwest, the tracks are bounded by the Häxgraben.
Surname
The station is officially called "Herzberg (Harz)". In Herzberg itself, however, it is only referred to as “ Hauptbahnhof ”, whereas the “Herzberg Schloß” stop is referred to as “Schlossbahnhof”. The spelling “Herzberg Hbf” or “Herzberg Hauptbahnhof” is also often found in official documents.
In early 2015, as part of the renovation of the passenger station, the typical blue station signs were installed, but not with the station name Herzberg (Harz) , but with the city name Herzberg am Harz as an inscription.
history
_%E2%80%93_verlassener_Bahnsteig.jpg)
On December 1, 1868, the southern Harz line from Northeim to Herzberg was completed, until August 1, 1869, Herzberg was the end of this line. Then the line was extended to Nordhausen . On October 10, 1870, the line to Osterode am Harz opened , which was completed on September 1, 1871 to Seesen . On July 10, 1884, the Scharzfeld – St. Andreasberg completed, whose traffic was mainly directed to or via Herzberg. On November 1, 1911, the line to Bleicherode- East was opened. In 1913 a route to Sieber and on was started, but was not continued due to the war . Finally, on December 1, 1931, a route serving goods traffic to the Siebertal to the community of Lonauerhammerhütte to the former Osthushenrich paper factory (now the Smurfit Kappa Group ) was put into operation on the route that had begun .
With this, the Herzberg station reached its maximum size and became an important railway junction . In 1944, north of the station, in the Kastanienplatz district, a connecting track was planned between the southern Harz and western Harz lines to prevent freight trains from jamming at the station. However, this construction was no longer implemented.
Due to the division of Germany, the line in the direction of Bleicherode was divided on the edge of Zwinge in 1945 . As the operation of this "dead end" became increasingly unprofitable over time, passenger traffic on the remaining route was gradually discontinued on May 27, 1961, and freight traffic followed on January 30, 1982. On December 31, 1994, the route to Siebertal was also closed .

In the 2000s, the entire track system was renewed and the shunting systems dismantled.
In the medium term, the station and the remaining routes are to be connected to an electronic signal box in Göttingen.
Current condition
The track to the paper factory was never dismantled and is still used as a siding in the area of the station exit. The route to Bleicherode was almost completely converted to a cycle path as far as Hilkerode .

In 2014 and 2015, the station was made barrier-free as part of the Lower Saxony is on Zug II project for around 3.9 million euros : since 2015, the three platform edges have a height of 55 centimeters and a length of 140 meters, as well as elevators on the House platform (track 1) and on the island platform (tracks 2 and 4). The pedestrian underpass under tracks 1 and 2 was therefore also renovated. The platforms were provided with a tactile guidance system. A dynamic text indicator was installed on each platform to provide information about delays and other schedule deviations.
The timetable remained in place during the renovation period of around half a year. It should be built under rolling traffic and also at night. The construction work was completed in mid-2015; In early November 2015, the elevators were also put into operation after the clearance was previously delayed.
Station building
The building on track 1 was sold in 2003 by Deutsche Bahn to Patron Elke Sàrl based in Luxembourg . Since then, there has been a kiosk in the building, but it has been closed since 2016. At the entrance on the street side there is a piece of graffiti with the inscription "My dream on the track".

Marshalling yard

The former marshalling yard area southwest of the platforms is no longer used. The track systems no longer needed were removed in the 2000s. Tracks 5, 6 and 7 are an exception: Track 5 is a passing track right next to platform track 4. Tracks 6 and 7 are remnants of what was previously a total of nine sidings and are still used as sidings for unused wagons.
In the past, an industrial site in the Herzberg district of “Aue” was connected to track 14. The tracks and a buffer stop are still in place on the site.
Freight depot

The freight yard area southeast of the passenger station was largely dismantled. Tracks 35 and 37 are still there. Wood from the Harz Mountains is loaded onto appropriate trains on them . The site is now privately owned by Holz Reimann. In November 2017, the building, which had not been used for a long time, was demolished in order to facilitate the loading of wood.
In addition, a siding used to lead to the Pleissner Guss GmbH site in the south of the station. A remnant of it on the Pleissner company premises can still be viewed from the Duderstädter Straße bike path (L 530).
