All rail connections are shut down. The main building is used as a residential building. The reception building and several ancillary buildings are designated as a monument to the main train station .
history
In 1896 Ziesar was connected to the German railway network via the narrow-gauge small railways of the Jerichow I district . The rail connection led in the direction of the city of Burg near Magdeburg . However, there was a greater economic interest in a connection to the city of Brandenburg an der Havel with a connection to Berlin . Corresponding plans for an extension of the narrow-gauge railway were in place; the line was extended from the actual narrow-gauge station in the west of the city to the west and north around the city center. The planned further extension of the line to Brandenburg was not implemented.
The Kleinbahn-AG Ziesar - Großwusterwitz (KZG) was founded on May 21, 1901 due to the economic interests of the pottery and clay industry in Ziesar and Görzke in the south . It was decided to build a standard gauge rail connection to Wusterwitz . On October 1, 1901, the line from Wusterwitz (or Großwusterwitz), which is on the Berlin – Magdeburg railway line , to Ziesar was opened. At that time, the Ziesar station was next to the Ziesar Ost terminal stop of the narrow-gauge railway and far north-east of the city center.
In 1911 the line was extended beyond Ziesar to Görzke. The Güsen – Ziesar railway line was planned to connect the towns to the west of Ziesar . The first section from Ziesar to Tucheim was opened in 1916 . In the following year, the continuous connection to Güsen was completed. In the course of the new construction of the line to Güsen, the station was moved closer to the city center. The new station was about 800 meters south of the existing one. Around 1930 it was given the name Ziesar Hbf , which it carried until the mid-1960s. The narrow-gauge railway was extended to the south along the standard gauge line and its end point, which kept the name Ziesar Ost , was directly north of the standard gauge station. In 1930, passenger traffic on the narrow-gauge railway ended on the sections between Ziesar West and East leading around the city.
In the 1960s and 1970s, bus transport in the region was expanded. So it came about that in 1971 passenger traffic to Wusterwitz and in 1973 that to Görzke was discontinued. The freight traffic to Görzke initially continued until 1994. Freight traffic on the connection between Güsen and Ziesar ceased in 1998 and passenger traffic in 1999. The Ziesar station lost its function.
