The Sterzing-Pfitsch train station ( Italian: Stazione di Vipiteno-Val di Vizze ) is located on the Brennerbahn in South Tyrol .

location

Sterzing-Pfitsch train station is located at an altitude of 949  m near the city center of Sterzing in the Wipptal . It is separated from the quickly accessible old town by the Eisack and the SS 12 . Since the municipal border follows the course of the river here, the station is not administratively in Sterzing, but in the area of ​​the neighboring municipality of Pfitsch .

history

Sterzing station was put into operation in 1867 along with the entire section of the Brenner Railway between Innsbruck and Bolzano . Sterzing, which until then had benefited from the stagecoach traffic via the nearby Brenner , initially experienced an economic slump due to the construction of the railway, which was offset over time by the burgeoning tourism.

Since the 1950s, the railway staff - in line with an Italian tradition - has made a contribution to the maintenance and beautification of the area. In 1985 the reception building was renovated, and in 1995 a central platform with partial roofing and underpass was built. In the year 2014, the extension of the station name goes back to the from the previous station Sterzing of Sterzing-Pfitsch station was.

Most of the station buildings are in very good condition. The reception building designed by Wilhelm von Flattich is clad with quarry stones made of Brixen granite , while decorative details such as the window frames are made of white marble . The roof has carefully crafted wooden gables . A northern extension fell victim to a fire in 1938 and was replaced by a simple new building in the 1950s. The original inventory also includes a wooden warehouse north of the reception building and - on the opposite side of the tracks - a tower-like water station. The historic buildings of the station have been a listed building since 2004.
