history
Meerane station has existed since the line opened on November 15, 1858.
In 1940/41 the station building was completely rebuilt. The historicized facade decoration disappeared in favor of smooth plastered surfaces.
In May 1984 the electrification program of the Deutsche Reichsbahn also reached Meerane station. For cost reasons, the tracks were spanned with a single contact line.
After the political change in 1990, the Meerane station was also a stop for express, express and interregional trains for a short time. In the 1993/94 annual timetable, the long-distance train pairs D 2058/59 (Chemnitz – Erfurt / Weimar – Chemnitz) and IR 2550/51 (Chemnitz – Aachen and back) stopped in Meerane. In freight transport, however, there was a rapid drop in transport performance. After the year 2000, the no longer needed equipment for goods handling and the tracks were shut down, and the supply points were expanded.
Since the discontinuation of interregional connections, only regional trains and RegionalExpress trains from DB Regio have stopped in Meerane. Meerane was now connected every hour to the western (Erfurt, Jena, Gera), northern (Altenburg, Leipzig) and eastern (Glauchau, Chemnitz, Dresden) central and regional centers in Saxony and Thuringia.
In 2011, as part of the complete overhaul of the Glauchau-Schönbörnchen-Gößnitz railway line, the Meerane train station was also fundamentally rebuilt and a modern public transport interface was created; the line was completely closed for nine months. A house platform and a central platform were newly built; access to the central platform is through a passenger safety system. The historical reception building, which had been vacant for a long time, was also torn down, despite intensive discussions regarding the preservation of the portico. Due to the renovation in 1940/41, however, the station building was not a listed building. The through track was designed for 140 km / h and tilting technology in the course of upgrading the route . Since then, the signals and points have been controlled by a local ESTW control computer from the Leipzig operations control center.
The scheduled train service after the restart began on December 11, 2011. There are direct train connections to Glauchau and Göttingen (regional express) and to Glauchau and Gößnitz (regional train).
description
Reception building
The historic station building was built in the 19th century in the historicizing style typical of the time. Similar station buildings with identical facade elements were built in Saxony in Freiberg, Hohenstein-Ernstthal and Zittau, among others. After a renovation carried out in 1940/41, the character of the building changed completely. It was adapted to the construction of the time. All historical facade elements were removed. The entrance area was covered with a so-called porticus , which in turn was decorated with a mural (two workers: weavers and mechanical engineers). This was characteristic of the Meeraner Bahnhof for decades and shaped its appearance for travelers. Typical of the National Socialist era was an oversized national emblem on the front of the building, which was removed again in 1945. Based on the color and shape of the significantly darker plaster stain, however, it was still clearly visible until the building was demolished in 2010.
The historic reception building was demolished in 2011 in favor of a barrier-free public transport interface and replaced by a simple functional structure with a ticket machine, shop for travel needs, toilets and bicycle parking spaces. Two stops have been created for regional bus traffic. There is a larger number of parking spaces for private transport.

Track systems
The railway site has been subject to multiple changes over the past 150 years. In its maximum expansion (around 1880), the Meerane station had three continuous main tracks and five tracks for handling goods or for parking groups of (goods) wagons. The points and signals were operated by two signal boxes (Jüdel design, 1904) at the north and south entrances.
Two of the continuous tracks were used for passenger traffic as platforms 1 and 2. The third track was used for overtaking opportunities.
The freight transport facilities consisted of a loading street, a loading ramp and two goods handling buildings. In order to empty parked tank wagons, there was a direct line to the processing companies at the station. A Köf II (100 771) was stationed in Meerane for shunting traffic (a separate locomotive shed on the ground floor), which belonged to the Glauchau depot.
Companies that used the freight yard for loading and unloading were among others. a. Steam boiler construction Meerane , AXA Meerane, IFA Karosseriewerke Meerane and the distillery Meerane. There was an approximately two-kilometer-long connecting line to the Meerane steam boiler construction , which largely used the subgrade for the former second track in the direction of Glauchau.
Since the renovation in 2011, the Meerane Station has two platform tracks, the platform length is 170 meters, respectively, the platform height 55 centimeters.
