history

The railway line between Röblingen and Querfurt was opened in 1884, for goods traffic on October 1st and for passenger traffic on October 10th. The extension to Vitzenburg took place on July 1, 1904. The route largely follows the course of the Weida between Stedten and Querfurt , which resulted in a tortuous route. The reason for the construction of the route was the factories located along the route: coal mines in Stedten , lime works in Schraplau and Esperstedt , sugar factories in Querfurt, Schafstädt and Vitzenburg .

Passenger traffic on the route was mostly low. In 1944, six pairs of trains ran between Röblingen am See and Querfurt and three between Querfurt and Vitzenburg. In 1990 there were ten pairs of trains on the first section, plus two pairs of Röblingen– Esperstedt , and again only three pairs of trains on the second section. On December 31, 1998, passenger traffic between Querfurt and Vitzenburg was stopped. On the Röblingen am See – Querfurt section, five pairs of trains last operated; the Burgenland Railway has operated since January 1, 1999 . This traffic was also stopped on December 13, 2003.

The section from Röblingen am See to Schraplau is still operated by the Fels network in order to serve the lime works of the Fels works in Schraplau. The Querfurt – Vitzenburg line was closed on November 1, 2003, the Schraplau – Querfurt section on January 1, 2005. In Querfurt, after the Allstedt airfield used by the Soviet Army was built in 1952, there was a siding there.
