The Hanušovice – Głuchołazy railway is a single-track main line in the Czech Republic and Poland , which was originally built by the Austrian Local Railway Company (ÖLEG) as a state-guaranteed local railway . It begins in Hanušovice (Hannsdorf) and leads over the Ramzovské sedlo ( Ramsauer Pass ) and Jeseník ( Freiwaldau ) to Głuchołazy ( goat neck ). The section over the Ramsauer Sattel is also known as the Silesian Semmering (Slezský Semmering) because of the complicated route .

history

On March 5, 1885, the Austrian Local Railway in Prague received “ the right to build and operate a standard-gauge local railway from the Hannsdorf station of the Moravian Gränzbahn via Goldenstein, Lindewiese and Freiwaldau to the imperial borders for connection to the Prussian railway network in the direction to Goat neck "granted. Part of this concession was also the obligation to build branch lines to Barzdorf and Kunzendorf at the request of the state . A period of two and a half years from the granting of the license was set for the completion of the licensed line.

The line was opened in two sections on February 26, 1888 (Niederlindewiese – Ziegenhals) and October 1, 1888 (Hannsdorf – Niederlindewiese). The route was nationalized as early as January 1, 1889. The owner and operator were now the kk Staatsbahnen (kkStB). The branch line from Niederlindewiese to Barzdorf was also realized under their direction . The planned line from Sandhübel to Kunzendorf, however, was not implemented.

After the First World War, the newly founded Czechoslovak State Railways ČSD took their place .

After the Sudetenland was annexed to Germany in autumn 1938, the line came to the Deutsche Reichsbahn , Reichsbahndirektion Opole . The connection was now included in the Reich curriculum as KBS 151v Ziegenhals – Hannsdorf . After the end of the Second World War , the route was completely returned to the ČSD.

On January 1, 1993, the line was transferred to the newly founded České dráhy (ČD) in the course of the dissolution of Czechoslovakia . Since 2003 it has been part of the network of the state infrastructure operator Správa železniční dopravní cesty (SŽDC).
