The Wutha station is the station of the municipality of Wutha-Farnroda in Thuringia .
history
It was not until 1854 that a stop was set up for the municipality of Wutha on the Thuringian Railway, which opened in 1847 . At first it was only equipped with a house and intermediate platform , as well as a waiting hall built by the community . 1873 this building was one of the Thuringian Railway Company built reception building replaced. In connection with the construction of the Wutha – Ruhla railway line , the stop was upgraded to the station in 1879/80 and a goods shed and a loading street were built. With the opening of the branch line called Rühler Bimmel, Wutha station became a wedge station . With the closure of the Rühler Bimmel on September 24, 1967, the operational importance of the station, from which a connecting railway originated, only apparently declined, because the Eisenach freight station had to be further relieved due to the increasing car loading.
At this time, the VEB Petkus Wutha loading ramps were located east of the Wutha train station. This company mainly exported technical systems for seed cleaning and grain silos to socialist countries . For this purpose, a roofed goods handling building was built. To the east followed the agrochemical center ACZ Wutha , founded in the 1970s, with several feed and fertilizer warehouses. The storage and timber loading area of the State Forestry Company in Eisenach, with its own loading bridge for long timber, took up even more space.
Intensive preparations for the prefabricated housing areas Mölmen on the outskirts of Wutha-Farnroda and Am Stein and Friedrich-Engels-Strasse in Seebach have been underway since 1980 . All industrially prefabricated panels were transported exclusively via the Wutha siding. A central concrete plant was built at the Rehhof and supplied with cement, sand and gravel from the Bad Salzungen area . To the east of the Rehhof, a brown coal cogeneration plant was built to supply district heating to Wutha and Seebach ; this was also supplied by rail.
Until the introduction of ticket machines in 1994, the Wutha station building was used in full, the building had offices and lounges for the railway staff, and on the ground floor there was a counter, a waiting room and a busy station restaurant.
On June 6, 2004, a local history exhibition was inaugurated on Eisenacher Strasse, near the town hall. It provides detailed information on three display boards about Wutha station and the Ruhla railway. The visitor can also see original parts and structural remains of the Erbstrombrücke .
