The Leipzig-Stötteritz train station is a train station in the Leipzig district of Stötteritz .

history

Former Signal box 1 (2009)

The facility was opened on December 1, 1891 as a loading point for goods traffic and from May 1, 1893 also served as a stop for passenger traffic. The original name Stötteritz was replaced on April 1, 1897 by today's name Leipzig-Stötteritz . Since May 1, 1905, the facility has been a train station. During the expansion of the Leipzig railway system, a second platform east of the existing one was structurally prepared, the planned access and the bridge abutments for two more tracks can still be seen. Bridge supports have also been prepared until the connecting railway with the freight ring to Engelsdorf and Schönefeld is passed. However, these inputs were never used.

From 1967 the Leipzig-Stötteritz freight yard was converted into a container station, benefiting from its location on the freight ring, the proximity to the exhibition center at that time and the good road connection. Two container loading bridges with a crane runway and a stacking area were built. The container terminal went into operation on December 2, 1968.

Since 1969 the Stötteritz station has also been served by the Leipzig S-Bahn , most recently by the S-Bahn line S2, which operated as MRB 2 from 2009. In 2007, fewer than 1,000 travelers used the station every day.

With the commissioning of the S-Bahn Mitteldeutschland network in December 2013, Stötteritz was the end point of line S3 and the clock compressor of S1 (in the 2017 timetable year: S11), line S1 continued to serve the station. Since December 2015, the S1 has ended in the station instead of the S11, and it was also served by the S4, whose south branch had to be relocated from Geithain to Wurzen due to the constraints in the timetable design due to the construction work in the station Halle (S) Hbf. The trains of the S3 line no longer served Stötteritz at this time, but the S2 trains turned around here. With the trip change in December 2019, the compulsory points in Halle were largely eliminated again, the S-Bahn line S3 has been running between Wurzen and Halle via Schkeuditz since then. In addition, the S1 lines return to Miltitzer Alle and S2 to Lutherstadt Wittenberg and Dessau in Stötteritz.

Construction work 2011–2013

Reconstruction of the tracks in the train station (December 2011)
View in north direction

In the course of implementing measures to supplement the network for the Leipzig City Tunnel , the station area was completely redesigned and renewed by the end of 2013. The construction work began in October 2011 with the dismantling of tracks that were no longer required in the freight yard and the bridge superstructures over Papiermühlstrasse. A central platform was newly built with two outer through tracks and an inner head track for turning trains. The S-Bahn line was shifted from the east (route 6361) to the west (route 6375, freight ring) and the freight train tracks from the west to the east. Furthermore, the overpass over Papiermühlstrasse was demolished and rebuilt, the platform entrances are integrated directly into the new bridge. An elevator enables barrier-free access to the platform.

The originally planned separation of the mainline tracks from and to Engelsdorf with those from and to Leipzig-Schönefeld was not carried out, only the former freight ring tracks are located between the north head and the Anger branch.
