history

The first section of today's line was the Strehlen (Silesian) - Kurtwitz section on August 10, 1883, and the Kurtwitz - Heidersdorf section on November 10, 1883, on the Upper Silesian Railway . Next, on May 1, 1893, the Glambach - Wansen section was opened by the Prussian State Railways . In Glambach, the station had existed since December 15, 1891 as the end point of the line from Grottkau . The Glambach – Strehlen gap was closed on May 15, 1894, the Brieg – Wansen gap on September 15, 1910, each time by the Prussian State Railways.

After the Second World War , most of Silesia was separated from the German Empire and Poland was added, so that the line was now operated by the Polish State Railways . In 1977 passenger traffic between Kondratowice (Kurtwitz) and Łagiewniki Dzierżoniowskie (Heidersdorf) ceased, on the rest of the route it ended on September 1, 1989. In 1991, the Strzelin (Strehlen) –Kondratowice section was closed, in 1992 the Małujowice – Strzelin section, 2000 the Kondratowice – Łagiewniki Dzierżoniowskie section. The route between Brzeg and Małujowice was still passable until 2017.
