history

The station, located at kilometer 98.23 on the Dresden – Werdau line, was opened on November 15, 1858. At first the station belonged neither to Hohenstein nor to Ernstthal , but to Oberlungwitz Abbey . The station property was later bought by Hohenstein. The Hohenstein post office was located in the station building from 1860 to 1887. In 1913 the station had 13 tracks. From March 17, 1913 to March 26, 1960, the station forecourt was the starting point for the Hohenstein-Ernstthal-Oelsnitz regional tram . The goods traffic of the tram was handled via the freight station, for this purpose two installation tracks, a loading track, a wooden reloading hall with loading crane and a siding to the goods shed were built. When the summer timetable was changed on May 30, 1976, so-called urban and suburban rail traffic (S-Bahn-like system) ran between Hohenstein-Ernstthal and Flöha , and the route took about 45 minutes.
On December 31, 2000, the freight yard was closed. Both signal boxes were demolished in September 2006 and extensive renovation work began in 2007. In 2007, among other things, the Tudor-style reception building was demolished and replaced by a low-rise building, and the train station was expanded to be barrier-free. On July 9, 2009, the redesigned station forecourt was opened, on which a tower car was erected as a memorial for the former tram. Work on the platform conversion began in 2010, before a replacement platform was set up on the former loading street . The main platform and the central platform were completely demolished and replaced by a new, barrier-free island platform. The new station was officially opened on August 2, 2011. In December 2013, a tram model on a scale of 1: 3.3, the Hohenstein-Ernstthal-Oelsnitz tram (interurban tram) was set up opposite the station .
description
Reception building
When operations opened on November 15, 1858, the station building consisted only of what would later be the central part. From 1860 to 1887 the post and telegraph office was in the reception building. In the years 1899 to 1902 the building was expanded; two extensions were built to the right and left of the existing building. The building housed the ticket office, baggage handling, a restaurant, a snack bar, information and toilets. In addition, twelve railway workers' apartments were spread over two floors. In 1985 the station building got its last coat of wine red and golden yellow. As the building fell into disrepair, it was initially closed because of the risk of collapse and demolished in 2007.
Train station today
Hohenstein-Ernstthal train station now has three continuous main tracks; the third track still serves as a single-track station . The island platform is fully barrier-free, with lifts as well as markings and corrugated plates for the blind and visually impaired. The two platforms are 170 m long and 55 cm high. On the station forecourt there is also an MRB partner agency (ticket office), a waiting room, a toilet, a shop for travel supplies, parking spaces and bicycle parking spaces.
