The Oberweimar train station in the Weimar district of Oberweimar is on the double-track Weimar-Geraer Bahn (also called "Holzlandbahn") between Weimar and Jena West - Göschwitz - Gera Hbf. The distance to Weimar city center is around four kilometers.
history
The Weimar-Geraer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft did not include the station when the line opened in 1876 for reasons unknown today. However, at the increasing pressure of the community residents of Oberweimar and Ehringsdorf , this was established with the nationalization of the railway line in 1897. Here at the station three historical tombs among other things, were discovered with grave goods, spathe with Bronzehutknauf and amber beads. The two localities were finally incorporated into Weimar on October 1, 1922.
Infrastructure and Importance
The Deutsche Reichsbahn later used the siding of the station to park construction trains belonging to the Erfurt Railway Directorate . At no time were military transports of the Soviet Army carried out from the Oberweimar train station; these were carried out exclusively from the Weimar / Etersburger Strasse freight station. In the 50s / 60s, a separate siding to the lime and travertine transshipment bunker was reloaded into wagons by a specially built cable car of the Ehringsdorf lime works (the transshipment building is still standing today and a few meters of track are still available) and also in Oberweimar-based company "EOW" reloaded their production on the loading track in the railroad cars in the 1960s and 1970s.
At that time Oberweimar was run as a dependent station, and from the beginning of the 2000s as an unoccupied station.
In 1997 all track systems were removed except for one through track , which means that another crossing point on the mostly single-track route was destroyed. The dismantling also included the facilities for freight and loading traffic. The mechanical interlocking was taken out of service in 2002. With the planned double-track expansion of the line, a second platform would be built in Oberweimar.
The entrance building on the eaves was built from bricks and has two main floors and an attic floor under a half-hip roof . To the north is a one-story extension with a hipped roof , which has a canopy supported by wooden supports. To the south is a single - storey half-timbered building with a flat roof , which was used for freight traffic. The reception building is now privately owned.
The platform is 110.85 meters long and 55 centimeters high and is barrier-free. As part of the double-track expansion between Weimar and Gera, Oberweimar train station also received a second platform, which went into operation at the beginning of September 2016. However, this is noticeably longer than the first.
traffic
The Oberweimar station is served every hour by regional traffic on line 21 ( Weimar - Oberweimar - Jena West - Jena-Göschwitz [- Gera ]). This regional traffic has been carried out by the Erfurt Railway since the timetable change in June 2012 and has been renamed from RB21 to EB21.
