The Oberoderwitz Station is an operating agency of the railway line Oberoderwitz-Wilthen and interrupted here today Löbau-Zittau railway in the municipal area of the municipality Oderwitz in Saxony. It was created with the Zittau – Löbau railway line, and with the completion of the Oberoderwitz – Wilthen railway line it took on the characteristic shape of an island station . With the closure of part of the line between Oberoderwitz and Löbau , the cessation of freight traffic on the Bischofswerda - Zittau route and the elimination of the possibility of crossing, the station was downgraded to a stopping point.
history
The Oberoderwitz station was opened on June 10, 1848 with the opening of the Zittau – Löbau railway line. The railway facilities were initially quite modest, as the main line from Zittau to Dresden was originally directed via Großschönau . It was not until 1879 that the railway line from Oberoderwitz to Eibau was built, and then the station received its characteristic shape as an island station that is still characteristic today . While the longitudinal construction of the reception building in the east and west dates from 1863, the transverse building with the forecourt in the north was built in 1879. By the turn of the century around 1900, the tracks were completely laid out and consisted of three through tracks on the western side (Oberoderwitz – Wilthen railway) and five through tracks and a stump track on the eastern side (Zittau – Löbau railway). With all side tracks, the station had 17 tracks, 28 switches, with two crossing switches and three crossings. Track 12 is not listed on the track plan; it could only have been between tracks 11 and 13. The freight tracks were laid out on the eastern side of the station. Track 10, which was led across the street to the station forecourt, was used to transfer the freight trains towards Eibau. Three underpasses were built within the station (one at the station exit to Löbau, one at the exit to Eibau and one at the exit to Zittau). The short connecting road to the station forecourt led and still leads to the station .
A farm building and the two-track locomotive shed with coal bunkers, water crane and inspection pit were built south of the station . In front of the engine shed was a turntable with a diameter of 11.63 meters. In addition to the two locomotive shed tracks, this had two other outside tracks as departure tracks. In addition, the water station of the train station was set up next to the coal tracks. Three signal boxes dominated the extensive track system; one at the reception building on the east side, one at the northern exit of the station towards Löbau and one at the exit of the station towards Zittau. On the easternmost side of the station was the local goods transshipment point with a loading lane, goods shed, loading gauge, private shed, platform scales and side and head loading ramp. There was also a railway maintenance depot and two sidings had their starting point in the station.
In 1934 the station received a Kö small locomotive for the extensive shunting work in the freight train service , which was housed in the locomotive shed. After 1945 some track systems had to be dismantled as a result of the reparation . In the station, this specifically affected track 3 on the west side and track 12 on the east side. In addition, track 4 was shortened, and instead of the second locomotive shed track, it only led to the small locomotive shed built in front of it. Small locomotives were stationed at Oberoderwitz station until after 1989, the last one being a class 101 locomotive . In 1982, tracks 15 and 16 on the loading road were removed. In 1993, eight continuous and six stub tracks as well as 19 simple switches were counted at the station. Due to the closure of the line from Oberoderwitz to Löbau, the remaining track 14, track 10, the turntable and all the side tracks of the station were removed. Tracks 11 and 13, which can no longer be used, are still on the eastern side, while track 2 is also still available on the western side, but can no longer be used. Until 2012, the signal box W1 was still used to operate the double-track section of the route to Zittau and the overpass, now the entire station is controlled by the ESTW . The signal box W1 was demolished after the ESTW commissioning. However, many high-rise buildings are still there and in good condition, especially the reception building and the W3 signal box. In 2013 the station changed hands. In the current state, the station is used as a stopping point with only one track.
On the station forecourt there are now parking spaces and a bus stop with the ability to turn around , which is served by a regional bus line of the KVG Dreiländereck .
Platforms
Originally the station had three platforms, two on the western side with the main platform of the Eibauer line and the intermediate platform between tracks 1 and 2, and the main platform on the eastern side for the Zittau – Löbau line . Today only the house platform on the western side is used.
traffic
In 1880 four pairs of passenger trains ran through the station on the Zittau – Löbau line. In contrast, four pairs of trains also ran on the Oberoderwitz – Wilthen line at the same time. In 1887 there were already six pairs of trains on both routes. During the First World War and the period up to 1919, only three pairs of trains ran on both connections. Thereafter, the number of trains increased again, in 1927 seven pairs of trains were reached on the Zittau – Löbau line and four on the Oberoderwitz – Wilthen line. In the mid-1930s, six pairs of passenger trains and one express train ran on the Oberoderwitz – Wilthen line.
In 1938 nine passenger trains ran on the Zittau – Löbau railway line, with one express train being carried. During the Second World War there were only four trains left on the Zittau – Löbau line. After 1946, three pairs of passenger trains and two pairs of express trains ran on the Oberoderwitz – Wilthen line. In 1950 there were three pairs of trains on the Zittau – Löbau line, while two passenger trains and one express train ran on the Oberoderwitz – Wilthen line.
In 1955 there were four pairs of trains on the Zittau – Löbau railway line. In addition, two express trains ran across the route at the time. At the same time, six passenger trains ran on the Oberoderwitz – Wilthen line. In 1960, according to Kursbuch, six passenger trains ran on the Zittau – Löbau line, and three express trains and even the Erfurt – Zittau express train ran here. At that time there were eight passenger trains on the Oberoderwitz – Wilthen line. The express trains stopped in Oberoderwitz until 1968, after which the stop was canceled. In 1965, the service on the Oberoderwitz – Wilthen line comprised eleven passenger trains a day. In 1968 the traffic load of the station on the Löbauer side was nine passenger trains and three express trains. This traffic could be described as constant for two decades. On the Wilthen side, the traffic load in 1978 was eight passenger trains and five express trains.
From 1992 to 1998, ten regional trains operated on the Löbauer side . The capacity utilization of the trains fell because the passenger trains from Görlitz to Zittau could run again on the direct route via Hagenwerder . Due to the insufficient utilization of the trains between Löbau and Zittau, the train service was canceled. Since the 24th of May 1998, there is no passenger on the more Löbauer station side, the freight ended January 2, 2002 through MORA C . Since then, the Oberoderwitz station has not been served on the Löbauer side.
Passenger traffic on the Dresden – Zittau railway line on the other side of the station developed better. This route has been operated approximately every hour since 1989 due to the change of regional railways and regional express trains. Since then, the faster Regional Express trains have stopped at the station again. Since December 2014, the Vogtlandbahn (now “Die Länderbahn”) has been running passenger services on the route under the brand name “ Trilex ” and replaced its predecessor DB Regio Südost .
While the freight traffic on the Wilthen station side was still quite extensive up to 1989 with the freight trains between Bischofswerda and Zittau, the station is no longer served by freight trains.
