history
Surname

Emergence
Since the opening of the Plauen – Hof section of the Leipzig – Hof railway line on November 20, 1848, Mehltheuer was only one station. Until the end of the 1880s there was only a temporary goods shed . The station building was expanded several times. The expansion with the integration of the line from Werdau became particularly necessary . The station became an island station . There were drainage tracks on both sides of the station for extensive shunting work. To distinguish them, the southern tracks were marked with an S and the northern tracks with an N. Several signal boxes were necessary as additional high-rise structures . The locomotive treatment systems were added between 1883 and 1884 with a boiler house with an 18 meter turntable , a water station building and a coal shed. The boiler house was expanded by two stands in 1895. The farm building was expanded with the commissioning of the further route and, in addition to the waiting rooms, had expedition and post rooms. The house platform was roofed over in 1899. The station building, the goods shed and the loading street with head and side loading ramps could be reached via the sidings of the locomotive station. There was a pedestrian tunnel under the tracks for access to the train station and the island platforms. Before the Second World War it was the largest, with 29 tracks and 40 points.
After the Second World War
The next major changes took place immediately after World War II when several tracks were dismantled. The turntable was expanded in 1970. Of the 29 tracks that were still there in 1955, seven are still there today, and there is also a siding to a liquefied gas storage facility. Since 1991 the double track in the direction of Plauen has been restored, from 1993 also in the direction of Hof. With the commissioning of a new signal box, the signal boxes W1, W2 and W3 were abandoned and the W1 and W2 were demolished in 2005. The station building was demolished in autumn 2014.
