The Löbau (Sachs) Station is the train station of the city Löbau in the Oberlausitz . It is located on the double-track main line between Görlitz and Dresden and formed the starting point for several branch lines . Löbau station was once a regional rail hub and offered connections to international travel. Today only passenger trains run on the main Görlitz – Dresden route with a stop in Löbau. Passenger traffic on the branch lines was discontinued. National and international long-distance transport has also been thinned out over the years and finally given up completely in 2004. From the start of the State Horticultural Show in 2012 until it was closed on March 1, 2015 and since it was resumed on December 13, 2015, the three daily cross-border regional express train pairs of the Dresden-Wrocław Express stop in Löbau.

The station was opened in 1846 and for a few months formed the eastern end of the Dresden – Görlitz railway line. The lines to Zittau, Ebersbach and Weißenberg were built by the turn of the century. As one of the last Saxon new lines, the branch line from Großpostwitz flowed into the west in 1928. The station reached its maximum extent between the two world wars. As a result of the decline in traffic after the political change in eastern Germany, the station's facilities were reduced to a few tracks.

location

The train station is located northeast of the historic old town of Löbau and is bounded to the east by the Löbauer Wasser valley . To the west of the station, the tracks pass under Weißenberger Strasse under a road bridge and branch off into the lines to Ebersbach and Zittau and the line to Dresden. The former boiler house, which is used by the East Saxon Railway Friends Association, is located in the triangle between the exit tracks to Dresden in the north and to Ebersbach and Zittau in the south. The former Bahnbetriebswagenwerk (Bww) Löbau was located on the long exit curve in the direction of Dresden. However, the buildings no longer exist today.

history

The beginnings

Around 1846 the train station was still outside the city gates

Until the construction of the railway, Löbau was away from the important east-west trade route, which ran north of the city as the Via Regia . Only the branch of the Via Regia near Kittlitz led through the city to Zittau and over the Lückendorfer Pass to Prague . Löbau, however, had neither stacking nor through customs rights and could therefore hardly benefit from through traffic from Bautzen to Bohemia. Up until industrialization, the city was an arable town and thus the poorest and smallest town in the Upper Lusatian six-town league .

As early as the middle of the 1830s, the Saxon Upper Lusatia railway committees were formed in the cities to promote connections with the Saxon state capital. In the state treaty concluded between Prussia and Saxony on July 24, 1843 , the two states agreed on a cross-border railway line from Dresden through the Saxon Upper Lusatia to Görlitz in the Prussian part of Upper Lusatia. From Görlitz there should be a connection to the Lower Silesian-Märkische Eisenbahn (NME) to Berlin and Breslau . One condition of the state treaty provided for the line to be completed within four years.

On December 11, 1843, the Saxon-Silesian Railway Company (SSE) was founded, whose members of the board of directors belonged to the unified Upper Lusatian Railway Committee. Since November of the same year they have been organizing share subscription in five cities in Saxony. The Saxon state took a third of the investment capital of six million Thalers, but obliged the company to build a branch line from Löbau to Zittau. Since the financial means of the SSE only allowed a horse-drawn railway operation on this branch line and this was an unacceptable offer for the citizens of Zittau , a separate railway committee was set up. It began in April 1844 with the company's own share subscription for the Löbau-Zittauer Eisenbahngesellschaft (LZE). In this company, too, the Saxon state contributed a quarter of the estimated construction costs of 2.5 million thalers.

The railway reaches Löbau

The construction work began in May 1844 near Dresden and reached Löbau in December 1846. On December 16, 1846, the inaugural train from Bautzen to Löbau was supposed to drive the new section of the route, but remained about four kilometers east of Bautzen near Rabitz stuck in a snowdrift in a cut. Rail traffic between Löbau and Bautzen began on December 23 of the same year. The construction work east of Löbau also progressed, so that on April 29, 1847 the first test drive across the Saxon-Prussian border to Reichenbach could take place. He also crossed the 190 meter long viaduct over the Löbauer Wasser , which leads the route at the eastern exit at a height of 28.6 meters and with nine arches over the valley. The scheduled train service was not officially started until July 1st. On September 1, 1847, the entire length of the railway line to Görlitz was opened, where it was possible to transfer or reload goods onto NME trains.

Several pillars of the viaduct collapsed on New Year's Day. The railway administration set up an interim station in Wendisch-Cunnersdorf east of Löbau and rail replacement services with horse-drawn carriages to the Löbau station. The inauguration of the new viaduct under the direction of the Hötasch Government Building Council took place on August 28, 1856.

Development into a railway junction

Station building around 1902

On June 10, 1848, the Löbau-Zittau Railway Company (LZE) opened the line to Zittau . The LZE trains initially ended in their own station next to the SSE station and departed from a separate platform, although the tracks of both companies were already connected. To the south of the LZE train station, there was a three-tier wagon shed. In the north of the station was the SSE boiler house with water station, three private coal sheds with loading platform and a car turntable. At each station head there was a switchman's house, whose officials were responsible for setting the signals as well as setting the switches. At the western exit from the train station, in the triangle between the Görlitz-Dresdner and Löbau-Zittauer Bahn, the LZE set up its repair workshop. The locomotive shed from 1859 is considered the oldest surviving Saxon engine house. With the nationalization of the SSE and the LZE, the station was administered from 1851 by the Royal Directorate of the Eastern State Railways, which was merged into the Royal Saxon State Railways in 1869 .

West exit towards Abzw. Niedercunnersdorf (left) and Bautzen (right)

On November 1, 1873, the Ebersbach – Löbau line was opened. It once ran from Löbau station to today's Niedercunnersdorf (Höllengrund) junction, parallel to the railway line to Zittau. As a reparation payment, one of the parallel tracks was dismantled after the end of the Second World War and the Niedercunnersdorf junction (Höllengrund) was set up.

The trains arriving from Ebersbach originally entered the station on main track 1. The freight trains from the direction of Ebersbach crossed the Görlitz-Dresdner-Bahn on their arrival in Löbau and thus increasingly impeded train and shunting traffic. Therefore, between 1875 and 1878 the station was renovated. In 1876 the Weißenberger Brücke was extended by three arches out of town and the goods floor and granary were put down in order to be able to create more freight train tracks. Track 13 was now on the newly built goods shed. Since then, goods trains from and towards Ebersbach and Zittau have been able to enter and exit directly from the north side of the station. The station building also received flat extensions on both sides. The footprint of the reception building was 83.5 meters by 14.2 meters. The main platform at the station building and the double-sided platform for the Zittau and Ebersbach trains to the west were given a continuous roof. The Zittau trains ended from 1875 on a platform turntable with a diameter of 11.65 meters. The access via nine simple switches to the seven-sided boiler house was also replaced by a 12-meter turntable for reasons of space. The boiler house became a subsidiary workshop of the Royal Saxon State Railways.

In 1877, a pump house was built on Löbauer Wasser below the viaduct to supply the station with water, as the engine shed could no longer supply the station water cranes. From 1871 to 1905 there was a sleeper impregnation facility with two butt tracks on the northern station site and, since 1884, the sugar factory on Görlitzer Strasse. The sugar factory's multi-track siding had a turntable and three turnouts.

About two decades after the opening of the Ebersbach-Löbauer Railway, the "secondary railway " to Weißenberg was inaugurated on August 1, 1895 . The branch line was extended to Baruth in 1903 and to Radibor until 1906 . The previous intermediate platform between tracks 1 and 2 was then replaced by a covered island platform. This was connected to the house platform with a passenger tunnel. The trains to Weißenberg started on track 5 on the north side of the island platform. In addition, the tracks of the Görlitz-Dresdner-Bahn coming from the west were looped into track 1 on the house platform shortly before the reception building, thus dividing track 1 into two sections. The western part was used by the Ebersbacher trains.

After the turn of the century there were plans to expand the station even further when the integration of the line from Großpostwitz was designed. At the Görlitz-Dresdner-Bahn, a marshalling yard Löbau Nord was to be built at the level of the later company car plant (Bww) . An exit road should lead directly to the Ebersbacher and Zittau route. For this purpose, the machine house was to be moved to the west and a new round locomotive shed was to be built at this location . The First World War prevented the implementation of the plans to a large extent. The Bww was opened on April 1, 1918. On June 14, 1921, the modified and expanded administrative part of the reception building was handed over. At the beginning of October 1928, the Großpostwitz – Löbau railway line was opened as one of the last new lines to be opened in Saxony. After the demolition of the old customs shed on the west side of the reception building, a new head platform on track 31 and two additional sidings for the Zittau trains were built in its place. The Ebersbacher trains were moved from track 1 to track 28 and the Cunewald trains to track 27. The station thus reached its greatest extent. It comprised 51 tracks that were connected to one another by 115 points.

On the north side there were three loading lanes, a head and a side loading ramp, a weighbridge and a loading gauge for local freight traffic. A cable car from the train station to the Römer weaving, dyeing and finishing plant in the Löbauer Wasser valley had been in operation since 1924. Until 1991 it carried coal in hanging lorries from the train station into the valley.

The small radius described by main tracks 1 and 2 at the western entrance from Dresden became an obstacle for the express train locomotives of the 18.0 and 03 series . The small track radius was too small for the longer locomotives. In the mid-1930s, the main tracks were straightened and the tracks of the Görlitz-Dresdner-Bahn were brought back to the platform from the west. Since then, the Zittau trains began on the north side of the head platform on track 32. The Ebersbach and Cunewald trains moved up on the platform tracks.

After the Second World War

Railway station with the Weißenberger Bridge

On May 7, 1945, the Löbauer Viaduct, the Höllental Viaducts at Obercunnersdorf and Herrnhut and numerous other bridges on the confluent lines were badly damaged, so that rail traffic came to a standstill. On the Görlitz – Dresden railway line, a makeshift Löbau Ost stop was set up at the eastern bridgehead of the viaduct . After the provisional repair of numerous bridges between Löbau and Görlitz, traffic between the two cities was resumed on August 6, 1945. Because of the destroyed viaduct in Löbau, the travelers had to walk the two kilometers from Löbau Ost to Löbau. It was not until November 10, 1945 that continuous traffic from Görlitz to Dresden-Neustadt could be resumed.

The Soviet had 1,946 sections of the second track track on the route Görlitz-Dresden as reparations disassemble. The Niedercunnersdorf – Löbau section of the Ebersbach – Löbau railway line also fell victim to the dismantling. Since then, this line has merged into the Zittau – Löbau line at the Höllengrund junction.

The northern pillar of the Weißenberger Brücke, which leads the road over the western exit, was blown up by the German Wehrmacht in May 1945. From September 1947, road traffic could be resumed via a wooden structure. Wooden bridges for pedestrians had already been built beforehand. The remaining five masonry piers were removed in 1957 and the bridge was replaced by a new reinforced concrete structure in the following year. The inauguration of the bridge took place on October 7, 1959.

From the mid-1960s, the Deutsche Reichsbahn rebuilt the second track on the Görlitz – Dresden line. The first double-track sections were between Abzw. Schlauroth B 6 and Markersdorf and between Gersdorf and Zoblitz. In 1985 the second track between Zoblitz and Löbau was laid again.

In 1972 the line to Weißenberg was closed and dismantled the following year. In 1997 the route to Großpostwitz followed. In 2002, all traffic via Herrnhut and Oberoderwitz to Zittau and passenger traffic to Ebersbach were discontinued.

In 1990 the station still had 46 tracks and 81 turnouts, including six double-cross turnouts . However, the number of tracks and switches continued to decrease in the following years due to the aforementioned line closures and the reduction in traffic. The switches on the station area were operated by the command signal box B2 on the house platform on the west side of the reception building or the guard signal boxes W1 at the east head and W5 / 6 east of the machine house. On July 2, 2006, a newly built electronic signal box (ESTW) went into operation, which is remotely controlled via the Leipzig operations control center. Since then there are only four main tracks with ten remote switches. In 2006 the station was frequented by 1,000 travelers every day.

Since August 2015, the station has had passenger elevators to pass from platform 1 to platforms 2 and 3.

Buildings

Reception building and platforms

The station building dates from the opening times of the Saxon-Silesian railway and was expanded and rebuilt in the following decades. When it opened in 1846, only the central part of the reception building stood. The historic station clock above the central entrance also followed later. To the east of the station building was the goods shed. Loading tracks also ran across the inner-city forecourt to the freight floor.

During the renovation of the station area between 1875 and 1878, the station building received its flat extensions with the side wings raised by half a story. The reception building has a total floor area of ​​around 1200 square meters. After the extension, it was extended from 45 to 83.5 meters. The width of 14.2 meters was retained. The low-rise building on the west side in the direction of the station forecourt was added in 1921. The side wings and the central building have a basement. On the south side above the entrance of the central building, a watch is in the Empire style . The entrance portal to the station building is now spanned by a steel and glass construction.

To the south of the station building is the main platform on track 1, which has an 84-meter-long roof with a cast-iron support structure. The extended house platform also has 175 meters of platform roofing. The platform is seven meters wide. On the western wing of the reception building, stairs lead down from the house platform into the passenger tunnel, which leads over to the central platform between tracks 2 and 3. The central platform also has an 84 meter long roof.

The head platform with tracks 31 and 32 connected to the west of the station building parallel to the extended house platform. Track 28 used the south side of the extended house platform. Today only through tracks 1 and 2 are used for regular passenger train traffic. Tracks 27 to 33, which ended west of the station, were dismantled at the end of the 2000s and the area leveled.

The machine house was built in 1859 and is considered the oldest surviving Saxon boiler house . At the time of construction, it was one of the largest engine houses on the Saxon-Silesian Railway, with space for ten locomotives. After completion, it was used by the Löbau-Zittauer-Eisenbahn (LZE) and classified as a subsidiary workshop in 1871 after the nationalization of the LZE by the Royal Saxon State Railways. The location was later upgraded to a Bahnbetriebswerk (Bw). In 1951 the depot was downgraded to the location of the Bautzen depot. In 1994 the locomotive operation site was finally closed. Since then, the listed machine house has been in the care of the East Saxon Railway Friends and the Foundation Bahn-Sozialwerk - Leisure Group Historical Locomotives . The entire facility has been owned by the East Saxon Railway Friends Association since 2006 .

Railway service vehicle plant

On April 1, 1918, the wagon repairs were started on the area of ​​what will later become the Löbau railway service vehicle plant. Up until 1918, wagon repairs took place in the railway depots in Bautzen , Görlitz or Zittau. Since the capacities in these three Upper Lusatian departments were no longer sufficient and the growing demands on wagon repair were also difficult to meet, the Dresden Railway Directorate decided in 1915 to set up a company car factory for Eastern Saxony. The decision was made in favor of the Löbau location.

The management chose an area for the company car factory at the western exit towards Dresden and Weißenberg. The damaged wagons were brought in from Löbau station via the Weißenberg route, as the route's capacity utilization allowed this. At kilometer 1.8 of the Weißenberg route, the track branched off onto the 500 meter long and 30 meter wide area of ​​the Bww. On the site there was a wooden workshop with a floor area of ​​50 meters long and 25 meters wide. The workshops, social and administration rooms were set up on the extended side of the workshop. The Bww had two working pits over the entire length of the covered track. There was also a work pit in front of the hall. Also forged with round fire, a carpenter with band saw and three workbenches and a locksmith with lathe , drill press , Shaping and traction engines were available.

The task of the Bww was limited to the repair of damaged wagons. The passenger car inspections continued to take place in the repair shops. The tests on the wagons of the Herrnhut – Bernstadt and Taubenheim – Dürrhennersdorf narrow-gauge railways were also supervised by Löbauer Bww. The factory was closed in 1998.

Railway lines

In the high phase of the Löbau train station at the end of the 1920s, five railway lines flowed into Löbau. For four of the five railway lines, Löbau was the start or end point. Only the main line between Görlitz and Dresden crossed the station. It also remained the only route that reached the station from the east side over the viaduct. All other railway lines branched off to the west of the station, with the railway lines to Ebersbach and Zittau running parallel to Niedercunnersdorf until they were dismantled. The branch line to Weißenberg, on the other hand, ran in a large curve to the north, parallel to the western exit of the railway line to Dresden, separated north of the rail service vehicle plant and continued north. The Görlitz-Dresdner-Bahn, however, swings back to the west and continues towards Bautzen.

As the first route to the timetable change on May 27, 1972 on the branch line Löbau-Radibor the passenger traffic between Löbau and Baruth was stopped. On May 26, 1997 the train service to Cunewalde followed. On May 24, 1998, rail passenger traffic between Zittau and Löbau via Herrnhut was discontinued and finally in December 2002 passenger traffic between Ebersbach and Löbau also ended.

passenger traffic

The regional express train to Görlitz arrives at platform 1

With the start of continuous traffic on the Saxon-Silesian Railway on September 1, 1847, four pairs of trains ran daily from Görlitz to Dresden and back. About five years later, the number of continuous passenger train connections rose to five in each direction. There were also three pairs of trains to Zittau. A little later in 1854 the first express train connection to Dresden followed. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, three pairs of express trains were already running to Dresden and the number of pairs of passenger trains to Zittau had risen to six.

The 1920s and 1930s were the station's heyday. Seven pairs of express trains, two pairs of express trains and nine pairs of passenger trains ran continuously to Dresden and nine pairs of passenger trains and one express train to Zittau every day. Some of the express trains continued via Dresden and Hof to Nuremberg and Munich. To the east they usually ended in Wroclaw. An express train ran east of Görlitz on the Silesian Mountain Railway to Hirschberg in the Giant Mountains . During the Second World War, the number of train connections on some routes fell by almost half.

After the war, rail traffic started up again quickly despite the severe damage. Initially only a few pairs of trains drove. Soon the numbers for train connections stabilized at a higher level. In the 1960s and 1970s, three express trains, one express train and four pairs of passing passenger trains ran again in the direction of Dresden, as well as three express trains and one pair of express trains to Zittau. Overall, however, the numbers were far below those of the pre-war years. In addition, there were a few direct passenger trains between Görlitz and Zittau, which were run on the Polish section of the Neißetalbahn via Löbau because of the high line usage fees.

After the fall of the Wall, most express train connections were converted into interregional connections. The Interregios ran to Dresden every two hours and in the 1990s there was also an Interregio connection to Oberstdorf im Allgäu. Only the international pairs of trains D 450/451 and D 452/453 on the route Warsaw  - Wroclaw - Löbau - Leipzig  - Frankfurt am Main  - Saarbrücken  - Paris remained , but the connection to Cologne , for example, was dropped . But the time of interregional connections also ended with the 2000/2001 timetable. The two-hourly interregional connections to Dresden were replaced by five regional express trains hauled by locomotives, other connections were canceled without replacement. On December 11, 2004, the interregional services between Dresden and Breslau were also discontinued. In addition to a pair of InterCity trains from Görlitz to Nuremberg, they were the last three long-distance train pairs with a stop in Löbau.

International traffic also ended for the time being with the discontinuation of the interregional train pairs, because the Dresden-Wrocław Express , introduced in March 2009, no longer served the Löbau station. However, since the State Garden Show , which took place in the city in 2012, the three pairs of regional express trains on the Dresden – Wroclaw route have also stopped in Löbau. Since the timetable change in December 2002, only trains have been running from Löbau station on the Görlitz – Dresden line. Up to 1000 travelers use the station every day.

With the timetable change on December 14, 2014, DB Regio Südost was replaced as the operator of the Dresden Hbf - Bautzen - Löbau - Görlitz (- Wrocław) line by the regional railway under the brand name Trilex . The regional express line RE1 has since been known as TLX1, the regional train line RB60 was now called TL60. However, Deutsche Bahn continues to make several trips to Görlitz as a subcontractor for the Länderbahn. Since the timetable change in December 2016, the original line names have been used again.

Freight transport

On the north side of the station facility were the goods handling , the goods sheds and other facilities for freight traffic. There was a loading ramp at the end of tracks 12a and 13a. Two other 220 meter loading lanes existed north of the goods sheds between tracks 18 and 19 as well as 20 and 21. The state-owned sugar factory, building materials supply Dresden (Löbau camp), coal trade and malt factory had their own sidings and loading tracks in GDR times. The shunting traffic in Löbau partially extended to the Löbauer Viaduct.

After the Second World War, freight traffic was directed from Schlauroth to Zittau via Löbau, as the direct connection through the Neisse valley now led through Polish territory. The People's Republic demanded foreign currency from the GDR for through traffic. In addition, Löbau was affected by transit goods trains (TDg) that ran via the rail border crossing Ebersbach / Rumburk in the direction of Czechoslovakia . In the 1981/1982 timetable alone seven TDg and local goods trains ran from Schlauroth to Ebersbach. In the same timetable there were 30 freight and test trains daily in the direction of Löbau – Görlitz. The trains went to Görlitz, Görlitz Industriebahnhof or the Schlauroth marshalling yard.

During the GDR era until 1978, the tanks of the National People's Army were also loaded at Löbau station . In 1978, a new charging point was built in Kittlitz .

After the fall of the Wall, rail freight traffic collapsed. On January 2, 2002, freight traffic on the Löbau – Oberoderwitz line was stopped. The German Regional Railway (DRE) took over the Löbau – Niedercunnersdorf section. In 2006, Deutsche Bahn also leased the Löbau – Ebersbach line to DRE. On Wednesdays, they run a freight train from Löbau to Zittau, hauled by a diesel locomotive from Löbauer Eisenbahnfreunde. On the Görlitz – Dresden route, two pairs of freight trains serve the station every week.

Today the station only has one loading point on platform 56. In addition, there is a storage area of ​​270 square meters available. The loading ramp has a useful length of 58 meters. The entire loading street extends over a total area of ​​900 square meters.

Transport links

Public transport

Löbau station is a transfer hub between local rail transport and city buses as well as regional bus services. The bus station south of the reception building has nine bus platforms. City bus 67 runs from Löbau train station to the district office or to Löbau Ost. The station is also the starting point for several regional bus routes operated by the Dreiländereck motor vehicle transport company . Some of the regional bus routes run along the localities on the disused railway lines to Cunewalde, Ebersbach, Weißenberg and Zittau. Further destinations are Herwigsdorf , Kittlitz , Neugersdorf , Neusalza-Spremberg and Rosenhain . There are also intercity bus routes to the cities of Bautzen and Görlitz, operated by Regionalbus Oberlausitz .

From April 2017, long-distance bus routes from Flixbus to Berlin , Prague , Munich and Wroclaw also stopped at the stops on the station forecourt for a short time .

Private transport

The federal road 6 crosses Löbau a few hundred meters north of the station area in an east-west direction. It bears the name Laubaner Straße in the city area. Coming from the east, Görlitzer Strasse branches off from Laubaner Strasse on reaching the city area, crosses under the railway line and finally runs as Bahnhofstrasse in front of the train station. Bahnhofsstraße leads to the historic city center. The Sachsenstrasse branches off from here and leads to the Weißenberger Brücke. The road bridge spans the western station field and leads back to Laubaner Straße and further north to Kittlitz.

There is a turning area in front of the train station with some parking spaces. There are also bicycle parking facilities on the western wing of the station.
