The Meinersdorf (Erzgeb) Bahnhof is today downgraded the breakpoint former station of Burkhardt Dorfer local part Meinersdorf in the Erzgebirge in Saxony .
history
The Meinersdorf stop , located on the Chemnitz-Aue-Adorf railway line opened by the Chemnitz-Aue-Adorfer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft in 1875 , was opened on October 15, 1880. Initially, the layout only comprised three tracks with five switches. In 1897/98 a platform barrier was installed.
It was only with the construction of the Thum – Meinersdorf section of the Schönfeld-Wiesa – Meinersdorf narrow-gauge railway, which opened on September 30, 1911, that the station gained traffic significance as a connecting station . The necessary renovation work began in 1908. By 1911, a reception building, a farm building , a narrow-gauge heating house , a coal shed, a trolley pit and an equipment transfer ramp were built . A newly built goods shed and a combined head and side loading ramp were available for freight transport. A transshipment hall was only built in 1913. The stand-alone boiler house - the water station of which came from Herold station - was precisely dimensioned for a class IV K locomotive .
It was not until the 1930s or 1940s that the standard gauge section with ten tracks, which had not been changed since 1911, was supplemented by a further track. After the Second World War, a track was dismantled in 1946.
Although the boiler house was hardly used in the last years of operation of the narrow-gauge railway, it was rebuilt again in the mid-1960s. Since the second half of the 1960s, a class V 15 shunting locomotive was stationed in the station for the extensive shunting service of the standard gauge .
In September 1974, passenger transport on the narrow-gauge railway was discontinued, but until recently there was still a brisk transfer traffic. The excursion traffic to Geyer's pond and the Greifenstein stones played a major role in this . In the summer of 1975, the narrow-gauge line up to Thum station was subordinated to the Meinersdorf station as a line shunting track , but officially freight traffic on the narrow-gauge railway took place until the end of the year, although some narrow-gauge tracks in the station were dismantled in the spring of 1975. In 1979 the boiler house and the coal shed were finally demolished.
Since immense freight traffic was still being handled via the station in the 1960s, it was intended as a wagon load hub. Although part of the freight traffic was on a siding to the local rural trading cooperative (BHG), the station was overloaded with the volume of traffic in the 1970s. VEB Schaum-Chemie sent more and more products via the train station, VEB Strumpfkombinat ESDA also handled its goods traffic via Meinersdorf and after the cessation of goods traffic on the narrow-gauge railway, there was a backlog of wagons. In addition, train formations for freight trains to the Chemnitz-Hilbersdorf freight yard and transfers to numerous other stations were part of the scope of duties. Due to the lack of capacity, a separate connecting line was built for VEB Schaum-Chemie in the early 1980s , which was also used by other companies. In 1985, another connecting line with its own cable shunting system was added for a heating power station .
Although the station had been subordinate to Thalheim (Erzgeb) station since 1987, the handling of goods only fell rapidly due to the economic effects of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the associated decline in traffic. In 1999 the station was finally converted into an unoccupied stop.
During the flood of the century in 2002 , when the train traffic had to rest for two days, the Meinersdorf stop was also affected by the floods. From May 2003 to December 2004 the line was completely modernized, and from May to November 2004 the station was also completely rebuilt. Since then, only the continuous track of the standard-gauge railway has existed at the stop.
The demolition of the former reception building began on July 2, 2018. The area should be completely cleared by September 2018 so that parking spaces and a public transport link can be set up.
outlook
With stage 2 of the Chemnitz model , the stopping point is to be expanded again to become a crossing station. In addition, a public transport connection point and commuter parking spaces are to be built on the left side of the railway in the area of the former reception building. The start of the main construction work on the route is planned for 2019, the traffic commissioning for 2020.
