The Hof-Neuhof Bahnhof is located at kilometer 2.3 on the Hof-Bad Steben railway . It is located east of the Neuhof district of Hof , around 600 m northwest of the old town of the Bavarian city. The train station can be reached via the Theater bus stop.
history
In the course of the local railway to Marxgrün , which was opened by the Royal Bavarian State Railways in 1887 , the station and the first reception building as Neuhof station were built in 1886 . This made it the first Bavarian station on the local railway. The starting point of the route was in the northern, Saxon part of Hof's main train station .
In the period that followed, the station developed into an economic stimulus for the Neuhof district. This was also due to its topographical location: industrial companies were able to develop better on the high plateau than in the narrow Saale valley and in the densely built-up area of the city of Hof, which also had a barrier to the west due to the deep cut of the Leipzig – Hof railway line . The slaughterhouse and cattle yard (1894), the Koch twisting mill (1897) and the Neuhof spinning mill (1898) settled here. The spacious layout of the station for shunting and loading work still testifies to the importance of freight traffic, which was discontinued in 1994.
In 1913, the crossing of Schützenstraße on the same rails was removed by relocating the route. The through track of the station was also affected by the relocation. A new, second reception building was built.
Infrastructure
The first reception building from 1886 was later owned by the city of Hof and was used as a residential building. In 2010 it was demolished. The second reception building , located directly to the north, is an eaves , two-storey building complex. Two buildings, one with a hipped roof , the other with a pyramid roof , are connected by a flatter part of the building with a canopy on the house platform . The upper floors are expanded with several dormers . It served as a train station building until 1978, and has been used as a youth association building since autumn 1994.
There is a coal trade on the railway site that used to use the railway facilities.
traffic
railroad
The private railway company agilis , which has set up an hourly service, has been operating on the Hof – Bad Steben railway line since 2011 . Connections are made from Bad Steben to Bayreuth or further to Coburg and vice versa.
As a district train station, the Hof-Neuhof train station has a certain importance for commuter traffic, as it is closer to the Hof city center than the Hof central train station . The Hof Theater , the Freedom Hall and the Bavarian State Office for the Environment are in the immediate vicinity . The Schellenberg-Anlage Park is located on the sloping slope to the former Hof-Nord stop on the Leipzig – Hof railway line .
