The Pockau – Lengefeld station is a local rail hub in Pockau-Lengefeld in Saxony. Here the Pockau-Lengefeld-Neuhausen railway branches off from the Reitzenhain-Flöha railway . The station and both lines opened in 1875.
Today the station has lost much of its former importance, and the former Pockau-Lengefeld depot was also closed in the 2000s. On the section Pockau-Lengefeld-Marie Berg Since 2013 no regular passenger longer takes place, on the route Chemnitz-Flöha-Pockau-Lengefeld-Olbernhau the wrong Erzgebirgsbahn in rail transport Monday to Friday every hour with clock gaps for lunch and dinner. At the weekend it generally only runs every two hours.
history
In the 1860s there were the first serious projects for a railway line construction in the Flöhatal and in the area around Marienberg. The Chemnitz-Komotau Railway Company was founded in 1871, and the first preparatory work for the Reitzenhain – Flöha and Pockau-Lengefeld – Olbernhau routes began that same year. Although referred to as Pockau-Lengefeld from the start , the train station in the Flöhatal was entirely on the territory of the then independent municipality of Pockau , while the neighboring town of Lengefeld , which also gave it its name, was far away from the train station on a ridge.
Before the end of the construction work, the station was opened for freight traffic on February 15, 1875, the opening ceremony for the Marienberg – Flöha section for passenger traffic took place on May 24, 1875. The branch line to Olbernhau was also opened that same year. After considerable financial losses, the Saxon state bought the Chemnitz-Komotau railway company in 1876.
The station was designed as an island station and was expanded several times in the decades that followed. Before 1896 there were a total of eight tracks (five south and three north of the station building), in 1940 the station comprised 19 tracks (ten south and nine north of the station building).
Since the end of the Second World War , smaller track dismantling has been carried out step by step. In 2005/2006 the station was extensively rebuilt, all the remaining tracks were dismantled except for five. Since then, train crossings have only been possible on the north side, on the south side all three remaining tracks end bluntly.

With the construction of the railway, a boiler house with a 12 m turntable was built in Pockau-Lengefeld on the eastern side of the station , and a large workshop with three tracks was also built. On January 1, 1937, the Pockau-Lengefeld depot was founded, with less than 75 employees, it was one of the smallest in the Dresden Railway Directorate .
The depot was dissolved again on January 1, 1966 and incorporated into the Karl-Marx-Stadt-Hilbersdorf depot as a locomotive depot . The area of responsibility changed very little, only major repairs were carried out in Hilbersdorf from now on. The central workshop for devices and work equipment was also built in Pockau-Lengefeld . When in 1970 the numbering system of the locomotives of the Deutsche Reichsbahn was converted to the EDP numbering system, almost all the new number plates for the locomotives of the Deutsche Reichsbahn were created here.
After 1989/90, the locomotive deployment site lost a lot of its importance, the workshop was closed in 1995, and the other facilities were last used in 2001. When the station was renovated in 2006, the track connection was removed, and the vacant buildings have been falling into disrepair ever since. In 2017 the site was taken over by PRESS and the first safety measures and clearing work were carried out at the end of the year. In the future, railway vehicles will be located there again. Initially only intended for parking purposes, a siding to the infrastructure of the Erzgebirgsbahn is to be built in 2018. [outdated]
