history

The train station around 1914
Former platform 2010

The station was opened on October 20, 1873 as Zeitzer station of the Prussian State Railways . After the incorporation of Plagwitz into Leipzig in 1891, it was given the name Plagwitz-Lindenau . The station area was about 550 meters long and 80 meters wide, there were 14 points. The 46-meter-long station building made of red clinker brick had service and waiting rooms as well as a restaurant. Next to the station building there was a 25 meter long goods shed.

The Leipzig industrial pioneer Carl Heine had a total of 37 industrial connections and three public charging points built from the Zeitz train station on the basis of a track connection contract . On September 1, 1879, when the Gaschwitz Railway went into operation, Plagwitz was also connected to the Royal Saxon Railway Network. As a result of the Saxon-Prussian rail war , meticulously separated networks of the Prussian State Railways and the Royal Saxon State Railways were created in Plagwitz, as in Leipzig Central Station . The Saxon State Railway built a large freight station and a small reception building for passenger traffic opposite the Zeitz train station. In 1899, Plagwitz-Lindenau was the largest freight yard in Leipzig with an annual turnover of 739,665 tons.

In 1897, the line to Pörsten was opened, for which an additional platform 3 with track 30, butt track 31 and two additional stabling and transfer tracks were built. The Plagwitz – Gaschwitz route was also integrated into the Prussian train station in 1907.

After the establishment of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1920, the Prussian and Saxon train stations were merged and passenger traffic in the Saxon train station was discontinued. The Saxon Plagwitz-Lindenau station, which opened on September 1, 1879, was named Plagwitz-Lindenau Saxon State Station from July 1, 1911 to October 1920, and the Plagwitz-Lindenau industrial station until 1922 . Since June 1, 1922, the former Prussian train station is called Leipzig-Plagwitz and the former Saxon part is called Leipzig-Plagwitz Industriebahnhof .

Since 1969, Plagwitz station has also served as a stop for the Leipzig S-Bahn , today the S-Bahn in Central Germany . The S-Bahn trains used the continuous main tracks 1 and 2 for the first fifteen years of operation, they also stopped at the Kleinzschocher stop, which is also located in the station area, at the level of the street of Komsomol (today Dieskaustraße). In 1970, the Schwartzestrasse stop was set up at the level of signal box 6 and the discharge hill. A double-track S-Bahn new line to Miltitzer Allee was built between 1976 and 1983 to connect the new Grünau district . Extensive changes were required to integrate them, including in the area of ​​the cemetery. Initially, the trains only ran during the shift change times of the construction workers and on the later Miltitzer Allee – Plagwitz directional track; they returned on stump track 31 at platform 3a. In order to be able to start the two-track operation, a piece of the cemetery wall had to be relocated. This gained space for a turnout trapezoid. With the changeover to the continuous route of line A in May 1984, the trains on this line ran in both directions via track 30 on platform 3, while the trains on line C turned on stump track 31.

In May 1998 the tourist traffic and with it the entire operation of the route to Pörsten was stopped. In December 2002, travel on the S-Bahn line S3 (formerly C) on the Plagwitz – Gaschwitz route followed, after having been made unattractive in previous years by an extremely unfavorable connection in Plagwitz and additionally by a higher tariff. During the construction of the city tunnel and the necessary additional network measures, the S-Bahn service to Miltitzer Allee was also discontinued in May 2011. In addition to the trains in the direction of Zeitz and Gera, the trains diverted via Plagwitz and Gaschwitz between Leipzig and Borna as well as Altenburg and Reichenbach ob Bf ran from November 25, 2012. With only a few stops and hindered by the construction work, this operation could not reach any S-Bahn Quality.

present

As part of the new construction of the Leipzig City Tunnel and the construction of the new network of the Central German S-Bahn , passenger access was moved to the north and two new side platforms were built at the Karl-Heine-Straße underpass . The continuous main tracks now run in a straight line in place of the earlier freight tracks, including the drainage mountain that has been removed for this purpose through the station. The branch of the S-Bahn line to Leipzig Miltitzer Allee was also moved, making it possible to noticeably widen the narrow and wear-prone arch. In the direction of Zeitz, the catenary ends in Leipzig-Plagwitz station, which is why two train-length transformer tracks with one waiting track each were provided on the north and south sides. The Plagwitz – Gaschwitz route (6379, see PG), which is a diversion route for the city tunnel, was re-integrated into the continuous main tracks at the same time as the freight train access tracks from Gaschwitz were abandoned at the level of the former Schwartzestrasse stop. Since the end of 2011 the station has been controlled by an electronic signal box (ESTW-A).

The track structure was completely re-routed and led through the former Prussian freight station, while the former Saxon part is being converted into an urban green corridor with an air swing, water shower and climbing rock as part of the renovation work. The former connecting line Leipzig-Plagwitz-Leipzig-Lindenau (6433, sä LX), which was only used for the Kirow Leipzig connection after the closure of many industrial companies after 1990 , was already tied up in 2004 and was replaced by an alternative connection point on the S- Railway line towards Miltitzer Allee has been replaced. The cost of creating the green corridor is around 600,000 euros, two thirds of which are borne by the European Regional Development Fund . The former Prussian engine shed in the south of the site now houses the Bayerischer Bahnhof railway museum in Leipzig . It also received a new connection to the Leipzig – Probstzella main line.
