history

Freight shed (2017)

The Kranichfeld train station was officially opened on October 14, 1888. The local construction company Emil Schönau was commissioned with the construction of the building. Initially, a two-story station building , a goods shed , ramps and a small engine shed were built . The traffic did not develop as planned in the beginning, so that savings were necessary. One measure was that from May 1893 to November 1897 Kranichfeld was occupied by the railway master’s wife instead of the station master . From around 1900, official rail transport companies took care of the arrival and unwinding of freight on the road to and from customers. In 1934, the half-timbered locomotive shed from 1888 was replaced by a significantly longer, massive new building. Its length was 48 meters.

During the Second World War , the line and several train stations were badly hit by bombing raids . The train station in Kranichfeld was spared. A shunter that survived an attack was trapped in Kranichfeld. At the beginning of August 1945, after some repair work, operations could be resumed on the entire route.

Reception building, street side (2017)

After a simplified branch line service between Weimar and Kranichfeld had been introduced, the staff at the Kranichfelder Bahnhof was reduced to two ticket sellers and a station worker who was responsible for car service, goods handling and other tasks.

When passenger traffic on the branch to Blankenstein was discontinued in 1966, consideration was given to discontinuing traffic between Bad Berka and Kranichfeld and then closing the section. But it did not get to that. Even after the fall of the Wall , the section to Kranichfeld threatened to end in 1991. However, there was resistance. This was followed by extensive product improvements that were successful. The sidings and switches were removed by 1996. A modern platform was built. On June 12, 1997 the station was put into operation as a stopping point.

Accidents and breakdowns

Floods of the Ilm in the years 1890, 1926, 1940, 1946 or 1981 caused repeated flooding of the station area in Kranichfeld.

On April 16, 1936, a 16-year-old girl tried to jump on an approaching train. It had an accident and lost its left arm and left lower leg.

Platforms and tracks

Platform (2017)

When it opened in 1888, there were four tracks and seven switches. The 50 meter long main track ended in front of the station building. Track 2a led to the engine shed. Track 3 (loading track) was on a 90-meter-long loading line and ended at the freight floor. Another loading track (track 4) was connected to this track. It ended at a head and side ramp. A connecting track to the Schönau sawmill was added around 1905, which was a north-eastern extension of track 3. In the mid-1930s the track system was changed a little. In 1976 the locomotive shed track was dismantled.

At first the two platforms consisted only of a gravel embankment. At first they did not have a paved edge. They only received this after the turn of the century. The surface was partly paved, partly covered with rolled gravel.

Track end (2017)

After 1949, the track names and usable lengths at the station changed, also due to the installation of track blocks .

The platform, which has existed since 1997, is 50 meters long and 55 centimeters high.

Reception building and other buildings

The station building has existed from the beginning in 1888. It is a brick building with slate roofs . The goods shed is a half-timbered building. Over time, a 30-meter-long extension was added to the shed. The half-timbered locomotive shed was built at the northeast end of the station. Its area was 13 meters by 5 meters. It included an overnight annex, a coal bunker and a water station. It was replaced by a new building in 1934.

The station building and the goods shed are under monument protection .

Connection

Kranichfeld is served every hour by line EB 26, which goes to Weimar . In the morning rush hour, the offer is condensed to 30-minute intervals. There is also a connection to some bus routes.
