history
Sebnitz station has existed since the opening of the Bautzen – Bad Schandau railway on July 1, 1877.
The Sebnitz station was expanded to its greatest extent in 1905 when the cross-border line to Rumburg was built. Three platform tracks were now available for passenger traffic, two of which were on an island platform. In its greatest expansion before 1945, the station had five main and eleven side tracks with 24 points. There were also two private sidings that were integrated directly into the station. In its function as a border station, passport controls for tourist traffic took place in Sebnitz. The neighboring Nieder Einsiedel train station in Bohemia took over customs controls in cross-border travel and goods traffic .
After the establishment of the state of Czechoslovakia after the First World War , the station lost its importance in cross-border traffic. At the end of the 1930s, the ČSD operated the Sebnitz station with only two pairs of trains a day, one of which was connected to and from Česká Lípa / Böhmisch Leipa.
The first fundamental change in the operation of the station occurred in October 1938 with the annexation of the Sudetenland to Germany. When the state border no longer existed, the station lost its status as a border station.
After the re-establishment of the state of Czechoslovakia in 1945, cross-border traffic was not resumed. However, tracks and facilities were not dismantled in this context.
In the 1980s, freight traffic at Sebnitz station amounted to up to 30 wagons a day, which were loaded and unloaded in the station itself or delivered to various connections. VEB Progress Agricultural Machinery alone, on the site of the former hoist plant , received ten vehicles every day.
A turning point was the political turning point in East Germany in 1989/90. Most of the industrial companies in Sebnitz stopped their production within a very short period of time or continued to use road transport. Until the official cessation of goods traffic at the Sebnitz train station on December 23, 1994, wagons were only supplied for a scrap dealer and a coal and building materials dealer.
In 2002, the dismantling of all unused tracks began, so that since then only the three platform tracks have been available for train traffic. All outbuildings including the goods shed were demolished by 2006. A modern public transport interface with 60 P + R parking spaces was created on the cleared area .
In connection with the re-integration of the cross-border Rumburk – Sebnitz line, the facilities were rebuilt again in 2009. The two mechanical interlockings of the Bruchsal G design were taken out of service and instead a technically supported train control system (TuZ) was introduced. Since then, fallback switches have continued to allow train crossings as required. In 2013 and 2014, the island platform was renewed, which now has a uniform height of 550 mm above the top of the rail. The striking roof also disappeared. To ensure accessibility, a new level crossing to the main platform was built at the southern end of the platform.
As a final measure to the “gap closure” project, the house platform including the roofing was renewed in summer 2016. The funds invested in the amount of 300,000 euros come from the performance and financing agreement (LuFV) between the federal government and DB AG and the Upper Elbe Transport Association.
Since the resumption of cross-border traffic on July 5, 2014, the Sebnitz station has been served every two hours by regional trains on the U28 (Děčín – Rumburk) and RB71 (Pirna – Sebnitz) lines.
Since February 3, 2017, Sebnitz has been the third official national park station in Germany. In addition to the mayor of Sebnitz Mike Ruckh, the heads of the Saxon Switzerland and Bohemian Switzerland national parks , Dietrich Butter and Pavel Benda, were present at the inauguration event . A 360 ° panorama in the waiting room shows the wide view that hikers have in the cross-border national park region.
