The Pirna train station is the main railway operating agency of the Saxon district town of Pirna . The station is integrated into the Dresden S-Bahn network as well as the starting point for a regional train line and a stop for a regional express line .
passenger traffic
old trainstation
The first Pirna train station was opened on August 1, 1848, together with the first section of the Dresden - Děčín line. The train station was close to the old town of Pirna, not far from the St. Heinrich monastery church. The entrance building was built in the late classicist style with elements of the Roman Renaissance . It originally had two head buildings, an intermediate wing and a roofed house platform.
Just a few years after commissioning, the station reached its performance limits due to the increased volume of traffic. Due to its location close to the city, there were no expansion areas. Obstacles arose in particular at train crossings and when the locomotives took water. In addition, other railway lines planned from Pirna could only be constructed from this location in an unfavorable way.
In connection with the construction of the Kamenz – Pirna railway line , it became necessary to build the first Pirna Elbe bridge , which was built in 1875 west of the previous station. At the intersection of the Pirna - Kamenz railway line with the Elbe Valley Railway, the new Pirna train station went into operation on October 15, 1875. The old station was closed on October 18, 1875. The building was partially destroyed in the bombing of the Pirna Elbe Bridge in 1945. The railway maintenance office was housed in the building until 1998. At the same time, the building was used for residential purposes. The listed building was empty until 2016. After renovation, the first retail store moved in in 2019. The old Pirna train station is the oldest surviving station building of the Saxon-Bohemian Railway.
New train station
The new station was opened on October 15, 1875 in the Pirnaer Westvorstadt . Architecturally, the building is based on the old train station. It consists of two head buildings with an intermediate building in between. The eastern head building is oriented towards the station forecourt and forms the actual reception building. This is in an island location. The tracks of the Elbe Valley Railway run north of the building (house platform 3 and island platforms 1 and 2). Platform 4 is south of the building and was the starting point for trains to Kamenz, Bad Gottleuba and Großcotta . To the south of platform 4 was platform 5, which is no longer used today and which could only be reached at ground level by crossing platform track 4.
Between October 1996 and July 2001, the northern platforms (house platform and island platform) along the Dresden - Děčín railway line were rebuilt and simultaneously shortened to 172 meters (island platforms 1 and 2) and 146 meters (house platform 3). At the same time, the Pirna - Coswig S-Bahn was given its own pair of tracks.
As part of the Federal Republic of Germany's economic stimulus package I, the station building was renovated in 2009/2010 for around 1.5 million euros with energy-saving measures by DB Station & Service . The focus of the measures was on the energetic renovation of the roof surfaces and the facade, which received a full-surface thermal insulation plaster. The old wooden windows as well as the sandstone dividing elements were repaired according to monument preservation aspects. The undisputed highlight was the opening of the ceiling in the reception hall and the renovation of the skylight above. This should return the historical impression of a friendly, light-flooded room.

Freight transport
The goods handling area was located south of the station building . In addition, there were extensive track systems for forming trains as well as sidings, which began directly in the station area.
Between 1996 and 2005, the railroad tracks for freight traffic were severely dismantled. Today, the freight yard is only used to reload freight trains.
However, since 2013 many tracks have been re-laid or reconstructed, see Pirna depot. For freight traffic, the main track to the former Pirna thermal power station was renewed and a multi-track company connection was built. This connection belongs to the AGRO Terminal, a branch of a Hamburg grain and feed service provider. She has been using the track since October 1, 2012 to receive and dispatch block trains.
Depot
The Pirna depot was not far from the station . In 1963, the Bad Schandau depot was attached to the Pirna depot as a deployment site, and on January 1, 1968, the Pirna depot itself became the Dresden depot's deployment site . In the following two years, the site was given priority to diesel locomotives of the V 100 series . Together with the use of light-incineration railcars from Pirna, which began in 1969, the change in traction at the site was completed in just a few years. The locomotives for the branch lines starting from Pirna and the Müglitztalbahn were provided by the Pirna depot and later the deployment site .
The 15-hour roundhouse was hit by several bombs during World War II and was only sparsely rebuilt afterwards. The roof in particular remained a temporary solution. Therefore, the locomotive shed had to be closed in October 1995 due to dilapidation. In the following years the roof partially collapsed. At the beginning of April 2009 the roundhouse was demolished. In June 2012, the ITL Eisenbahngesellschaft began building a new depot for the maintenance of locomotives and wagons on the site. On June 27, 2013 the ITL opened its new workshop with four hall tracks; the investment costs were around six million euros.
Partial conversion of the station area

After the discontinuation of freight traffic, large parts of the Pirna train station were unused. Therefore, the new depot of the then Oberelbische Verkehrsgesellschaft Pirna-Sebnitz mbH (opened in 2001) and the administrative building of the state dam administration of Saxony were built on this site . This was followed in January 2008 by the new central bus station in Pirna, which was built on the site of the former goods handling and the old bus station.
Passenger traffic today
In 2015, Pirna train station counted 7,130 passengers boarding and disembarking on weekdays, and 4,375 passengers on weekends and public holidays. The station is currently served by four local rail transport lines, which are operated by DB Regio Südost and the Saxony urban railway:
