history

Orlamünder Bahnhof opened when the Saalbahn went into operation on May 1st, 1874. It initially had two platform tracks and a freight track. The first changes occurred in 1884. In the following year, a centesimal scale was installed.

On October 1, 1889, the Orlabahn to Pößneck went into operation. As a result, Orlamünde became a separation station . In 1892 the station was expanded again. This included the enlargement of the loading ramp, which became necessary due to the increasing loading of timber. He kept this expansion until 1999. A water station initially ensured the water supply. First a hand pump was used, later a pulsometer .

The first signal boxes were built after 1907. The signal box Oo dates from this time. The other signal box was built with the construction of the water tower in ??? built. The station building dates from the private railway era, i.e. before the Saal-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft was bought up by the Prussian state in 1895. It has hardly been changed. It was re-plastered in 1971/72 on the occasion of the Olympic Games in Munich . This also happened with the Dornburg train station . The train stations should make a neat impression from the trains passing through on the Berlin – Munich route. A goods shed was used by a company to manufacture concrete parts for the Deutsche Reichsbahn until 1991 .

Station building, track side (2013)

The provision of passenger and freight trains for the Orlabahn was particularly important for Orlamünde station. In December 1994, freight traffic ended on the Orlabahn and thus also in Orlamünder Bahnhof. Almost all trains from Pößneck to Jena Saalbahnhof have been connected since 2001 , so there is no need to change trains in Orlamünde.

Platforms (2017)

After 1990 there were further changes to the station. Electrification followed in 1994/95 . In addition, the water tower was demolished. Track 4 had to give way for the new contact line masts. Between October 1999 and May 2000 the tracks and platforms were completely rebuilt. The trains to Pößneck left a makeshift platform outside the station. At route kilometer 45.6 of the Saalbahn a construction switch, a tail-end reporting post that reported to Orlamünde, and a transfer point were built . The command to set the points was given from the signal box Oo . Between km 45.6 and Rudolstadt, only single-track operation was possible from February 12 to 18, 2000. The trains passed through the station without stopping because the construction of the new intermediate platform was taking place at the same time. After the renovation, three points remained on the northern side of the station for the change of track for trains from Jena to Pößneck, and four on the southern side. In addition to the two continuous main tracks of the Saalbahn, there is also track 3. It is the 530 meter long track of the Orlabahn that can serve as a passing track for goods traffic. The station building is empty and unused.

In autumn 2003, a building for the electronic set-up computer technology was erected at the southern end of platform 1 . On December 6, 2003, a new signal bridge was put into operation. When the electronic remote control went into operation in autumn 2004, the two signal boxes were shut down. The train station in Orlamünde has been unoccupied since then.
