history
The Priestewitz station was opened on April 9, 1839 as part of the construction of the first German long-distance railway - the Leipzig – Dresden line. It was established because of its geographical proximity to the important cities of Meißen and Grossenhain , which only got their own railway connection around two decades later. The factory building used in the construction of the line became a revenue house and wagon depot after the railroad began operating. The city of Großenhain built an inn at its own expense, which was used to handle passenger traffic. The high-rise buildings of the station itself consisted of a small wooden platform hall for travelers, a barn-like goods shed, an open hall for reloading goods onto carts and a forge for repairing cars. There was a "cistern" to supply the locomotives with water. Priestewitz profited from the rail traffic, so that the place quickly experienced an economic boom. Before 1860, a new “collector's house for ticket sales, luggage and goods expedition” was built. It replaced the first train station buildings from 1839, which were no longer sufficient for the increased volume of traffic.
The city of Großenhain was very interested in its own rail connection. Grossenhain citizens founded the branch railway company to Grossenhain , which built a connection to the railway line Leipzig – Dresden. The Priestewitz-Großenhain line was opened on October 14, 1862. In 1870 the line was continued by the Cottbus-Großenhainer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft to Cottbus . This made Priestewitz a railway junction.
The Verkehrsverbund Oberelbe (VVO) invested around 1.30 million euros in new bus departure points on the station forecourt in 2005. The Priestewitz station crossing point was opened for use on November 30, 2005.
The platform systems were renewed in August 2006 and completed in November of the same year. The total costs for the renewal of the railway systems were around 1.54 million euros. As part of this renovation, the old inn and the three signal box buildings were also demolished.

description
The station consists of a waiting hall and a platform crossing. It is on the Leipzig – Dresden railway line . A few hundred meters in a north-westerly direction, the route branches off to Grossenhain . The station has three tracks, but the middle one does not have a platform as it is only used for freight trains as well as IC and ICE trains. Platforms 1 and 2 are connected by a pedestrian bridge and have a standardized platform height of 55 cm above the top of the rails. The station has a central dynamic passenger information system .
At the train station there is a “public transport interface” for intercity bus traffic. There are three bus stops (one north, two south of the train) and 100 parking spaces for Park + Ride (P + R) (40 north and 60 south of the train) as well as spaces for short-term parkers, motorbikes and taxis. There was a bicycle parking facility with 78 spaces in the waiting hall. The facility is barrier-free and handicapped accessible.
