history

Surname

  • until May 4, 1941: Mulda-Randeck
  • from May 5, 1941: Mulda (Sachs)

business

The opening as a loading point took place on November 2, 1875 together with the Freiberg – Mulda section of the Nossen – Moldau railway line . Mulda was the end point for about nine months, as the next section to Bienenmühle was not opened until August 15, 1876. On November 1, 1878, the station was finally elevated to a stop.

Standard gauge around 1900

When planning the Mulda – Sayda narrow-gauge railway, which opened in 1897, the narrow- gauge systems were to be built north of the reception building. Due to the risk of the necessary crossing between normal and narrow gauge as well as the high costs for the planned narrow gauge section, the systems were finally built to the east of the reception building. For this purpose, the goods facilities now had to be relocated to the northern side. After completion of the renovation work, the station system consisted of six standard-gauge tracks with 18 switches, plus seven narrow-gauge tracks with 11 switches. In addition to a new goods shed, there was also a reloading hall , an equipment transfer ramp , a coal shed and a separate boiler house . Because of the increased passenger traffic, a second platform was created for the standard-gauge railway.

Due to its importance, the stop received the status of a train station on October 1, 1901. In addition, a siding to a wood goods and machine factory was built around the turn of the century. In the following years, four additional sidings were built in the immediate vicinity of the train station. The structure of the station remained essentially unchanged until the narrow-gauge railway was closed.

In 1934 a small locomotive was stationed in the station, for which a separate shed was built later. At the end of the Second World War, the station was the target of a bomb attack, in which the station building was partially destroyed.

From the 1950s, the previously rarely used boiler house was used as a car workshop.

After the narrow-gauge railway was closed in 1966, the importance of the station also declined. In the 1980s, the boiler house was demolished except for the personnel section. The small locomotive was stationed in Mulda until the early 1990s, but the station lost its importance in freight traffic due to the economic consequences of the fall of the Wall .

Today the standard gauge systems are still largely preserved.

Like the line, the station is operated by RP Eisenbahn GmbH . The train conductor and station dispatcher sit in the reception building. The switches used by trains are fallback switches with monitoring signals. There are entry and exit signals as light signals that are set by the dispatcher. In addition, the dispatching order is issued by the dispatcher using the signal Zp 9 .
