The Leipzig-Wahren station is a train station in the Leipzig district of Wahren . At the beginning of the 20th century it was expanded into a large freight yard . Until the shutdown of the train formation facilities on December 31, 1994, the Leipzig-Wahren freight yard was, next to Engelsdorf (near Leipzig), one of the two large marshalling yards in the Leipzig railway junction .
Today there are two passenger stops in the station, Leipzig-Wahren and Leipzig-Lützschena, as well as a transshipment facility for combined cargo traffic .
history
The train station in Wahren was opened on August 1, 1884, initially only for passenger traffic, on the Magdeburg – Leipzig railway line.
At the beginning of the 20th century, all marshalling yards were relocated from the center of Leipzig to the suburbs. The Leipzig-Wahren freight yard, which opened on April 9, 1905, was also built here. By the Prussian State Railways , the station was connected to the Leipzig-Leutzsch-Leipzig-Wahren and Leipzig-Wahren-Leipzig-Schönefeld routes to the Leipziger Güterring . At the same time, the Leipzig-Wahren depot was built on the north side . After the opening of Leipzig Central Station in 1912, most of the traffic from the direction of Magdeburg was carried from Wahren via Wiederitzsch and the Güterring to Leipzig; the old direct route was only used for freight traffic. The passenger train tracks were led around the freight and Bw systems on the north side.
As early as 1914, the Wahren marshalling yard and the freight ring in the direction of Schönefeld were electrified. Shortly after the beginning of the First World War , however, electrical operations in Central Germany were discontinued, and the contact line systems were dismantled again for the extraction of non-ferrous metal. Between 1921 and 1923 the catenary systems were rebuilt, but that of the Wahren – Leipzig MTh line was not rebuilt until 1934. Expansion work was still in progress during the Second World War , but it was never completed. During the war, the station was severely damaged several times in the air raids on Leipzig . There was further loss of substance after the end of the war due to dismantling as a reparation payment, both in the superstructure in the form of mainline and station tracks and in the catenary. In March 1946 the electrical operation had to be stopped again. The missing second track in the area of the heavily used Leipzig junction, which had a particularly negative effect on performance, could be relocated again in the 1950s and 1960s, but the line to the Magdeburg-Thuringian train station in Leipzig, over which only local freight traffic ran, remained single-track. With the second re-electrification around 1960, however, catenary masts for double-track operation were also erected on this route, they carried two 15 kV feed lines on each side from the Wahren substation to the Leipzig switch post to supply the Leipzig Hbf station.
The Leipzig-Wahren station did not have a central signal box, only a process signal box as a GS II DR track diagram signal box. Light signals were also not set up on the entire station; this was essentially only done as entry signals and on the passenger train tracks. On hump electrodynamic rail brakes were installed.
In the mid-1970s, a training workshop for the Rbd Halle's company vocational school was set up in the rooms of the former train station restaurant in the reception building for the training of electrical signaling mechanics. Its use ended after 1990 when vocational training was discontinued.
The dismantling of the train formation facilities after the cessation of operations and the relocation of the passenger trains to the new continuous main tracks on the south side of the station area was slow. Parts of the tied-off track system are still in place, and high-rise buildings are still there. Parts of the drive-in group were included in the KLv transshipment facility.
With the new construction of the S-Bahn connection between Halle and Leipzig, a Thales-type electronic interlocking was built in 2003 and 2004. It is remotely controlled from the Leipzig operations center during regular operation.
At the end of 2014, RTL jungle queen Melanie Müller bought the now empty reception building together with her husband and manager Mike Blümer. The building is to be used both for own residential purposes and as a guest house.
Transshipment station
On July 2, 2001, the Deutsche Bahn subsidiary Deutsche Umschlaggesellschaft Schiene-Straße opened a transshipment station for container transport on the site of the Wahren freight yard after a three-year construction period . This is right next to a goods distribution center . With a peak throughput of 500 TEU , it replaced the previous facilities in Leipzig-Stötteritz and Halle (Saale). This was expanded to block train length at the end of 2005 and today includes a crane runway with four 700 m long tracks. 100,000 TEU can be handled per year.
Since the terminal is operating at its capacity limit, a second module with four tracks, two cranes and a dispatch building will be built in the course of a further expansion stage. This will double the handling capacity to 200,000 TEU. The opening planned for spring 2017 was delayed due to construction defects.
The Trans-Eurasia-Express container train to Shenyang in the People's Republic of China has started here every day since September 2011 .
passenger traffic
The Leipzig-Wahren and Lützschena stops were located in the station area and were served by the trains between Leipzig and Halle. They were located on the north side of the tracks, on the route in the direction of Wiederitzsch, over which the entire local public transport ran. While most of the passenger trains in the direction of Halle stopped in Leipzig-Wahren , Lützschena lost due to its unfavorable location and the tariff conditions (tram line 29, later 11 runs through the center of Lützschena, was served at a significantly more frequent frequency and until the introduction of the MDV tariff a train journey cost significantly more) more and more in importance. The stop was closed in 1996, and recently only a few trains stopped there in rush hour.
In 2004, the S-Bahn networks in Leipzig and Halle were connected to the Leipzig-Halle S-Bahn . Since then, the S-Bahn line no longer runs via Wiederitzsch, but rather via the direct route to Leipzig Central Station. Leipzig-Wahren received a new 140 m long and 55 cm high central platform on the south side of the track system. The stop in Lützschena was also reopened with new exterior platforms under the name Leipzig-Lützschena . Both stops are part of the Leipzig-Wahren station. Today they are served by the trains of the S3 line ((Halle-Trotha -) Halle Hbf - Leipzig-Connewitz (- Markkleeberg-Gaschwitz)) of the S-Bahn Central Germany and belong to the MDV zone 110.
In addition to the S-Bahn, the station is also served by the bus routes 87, 88, 90 and 91/190. Tram lines 10 and 11 run not far from the train station. Line 10 runs from Wahren via Leipzig center to Lößnig , line 11 from Schkeuditz to Markkleeberg-Ost .
