The Riesa Station is an operating agency of the Leipzig-Dresden railway and the beginning here routes to Chemnitz and to Nossen on the municipal area of the district town of Riesa in Saxony.

Riesa is the system stop for long-distance trains operated by Deutsche Bahn on the Dresden – Frankfurt am Main and Dresden – Cologne routes. More than 3000 people get on and off at the train station on an average working day. In freight traffic, there is an importance in traffic to the port of Riesa and to the ESF Elbe steel works in Feralpi .

history

In November 1838, the Leipzig-Dresden Railway (LDE) put the Riesa station together with the Oschatz- Riesa section of the Leipzig-Dresden railway line into operation. The first station building was added in 1844 . In August 1847 the Riesa – Chemnitz line was opened, branching off the existing line towards the south. A second train station was built in Riesa, which also received its own station building. In 1867 a direct corridor was built between the two stations. As a result of the nationalization of the LDE in 1876, the Chemnitz station was given up at the request of the Ministry of Finance between 1879 and 1881 and the two stations were united. In the course of this renovation, today's station building was also built.

In 1875 and 1877 the station was connected to the Riesa – Elsterwerda and Riesa – Nossen lines. The latter was officially shut down in 2007 after passenger traffic had ceased in 1998.

From 1889 to 1924, the station forecourt was the starting point for a meter-gauge horse - drawn tram that led to the town hall square. Due to the German inflation from 1914 to 1923 , this was shut down and replaced by an omnibus connection .

In May 1970 Riesa station was connected to the electrical rail network when the Leipzig – Dresden line was electrified.

From 1973 some shape signals were replaced by light signals.

At the end of the 1980s, the railway was assigned to class A in the Dresden Reichsbahndirektion. Around 300 trains a day passed the station every day. Around 45 trains per day were either closed or newly formed. Every month 48,000 tickets were sold, 3,000 pieces of luggage and 2,300 tons of general cargo and express goods were handled. At peak times, up to 440 trains per day passed the station.

After the shipping volume in the freight yard in February 1991 was only 25 percent of the previous month's value, the 24-hour service in the freight yard was terminated and in 1993 the north facility of the marshalling yard was shut down.

expansion

In the first half of the 1990s it was planned to bypass Riesa to the south as part of the expansion of the Leipzig – Dresden line. On March 8, 1995, this plan was rejected and an expansion of the Riesa railway junction (with speed drops to 100 km / h) was pursued. In the same year, the establishment of a long-distance platform in Riesa was rescheduled. The expansion of the station is part of the third construction stage of the German Unity Transport Project No. 9 , which was postponed with a decision from 2004. The station forms the planning approval section 1303 of the project, for which there is no draft plan (status: 2013). The preliminary planning for the expansion of the Riesa train station and the section up to the Zeithain arched triangle was in progress in 2016 . The planning of the project ( feasibility study and preliminary planning) was tendered in February 2017, the award was announced in June 2017. A redesign of the track plan, the installation of an electronic interlocking with ETCS and the dismantling of two level crossings are planned. The planning contract should run from July 2017 to December 2019. In 2016, commissioning was not planned before 2025. In the meantime, construction is not scheduled to begin before 2028 (as of 2020).

A clear separation is planned between local traffic (tracks 4 and 5) and long-distance traffic (tracks 2 and 3). In addition, the railway line between Elsterwerda and Chemnitz will end to the east and west of the railway building. Platform 1, which is currently still in use, will then no longer be used. In the future, it should be possible to drive through the station at 120 km / h. Construction is expected to start in 2026, with a construction time of around four years.

In 2006, Riesa stopped the last pair of interregional trains on the Deutsche Bahn timetable between Berlin and Chemnitz . In the meantime, the Vogtland Express operated by Netinera Deutschland GmbH ran once a day , which in turn was discontinued in 2012.

In 2007, around 300 trains per day passed the station.

In May 2015, a complex renovation of the north system was tendered across Europe and awarded in August 2015 for 4.6 million euros. A new rainwater collection basin is being built in the area of ​​the former Riesa depot. The demolition of the locomotive shed began on August 8 and ended on November 23, 2016. The project was completed in 2018.

A performance agreement on design and approval planning for the node renovation is to be concluded in 2019 .

investment

The passenger station is located between the freight station in the west and the Elbe bridge in the east. It has five through tracks (1-5) and five head tracks (platform 6 (platform 64) and platform 7 (platform 66) from the direction of Chemnitz and platform 8 (platform 67) and platform 9 (platform 69) from Dresden). Tracks 1–3 as well as 6 and 8 are regularly used by passenger traffic. Several city and regional bus routes run at the bus station , operated by Verkehrsgesellschaft Meißen (VGM).
