history

On December 26, 1885, the privileged Bohemian Northern Railway Company was granted the right to build and operate a standard-gauge local railway from the Röhrsdorf-Zwickau station to the privileged Bohemian Northern Railway Company to Zwickau . Since hardly any engineering structures were necessary, the short route was opened on September 1, 1886. In the 1900 timetable there were four mixed pairs of trains, 2nd to 3rd class, which took 17 minutes for the eight-kilometer route.

former Lindava station, covered the former name Lindenau

Only after the construction of the North Bohemian Transversal Railway from Teplitz to Reichenberg in the years 1897–1900 was construction continued in the direction of Deutsch Gabel. On February 9, 1903, the BNB received the concession for this section. The construction period was two years from the granting of the license. The license was issued until January 7, 1963. On October 7, 1905, the line was opened.

In 1910 plans arose to build an electric railway along the Alte Leipaer Strasse from Dobern via Bürgstein , Zwickau and Großmergthal to Krombach , which, however, received little support from the Imperial and Royal State Railways and ultimately did not come to fruition.

In 1912 the timetable of the local railway indicated four mixed pairs of 2nd and 3rd class trains over the entire route. The trains took a little over an hour for the 21 kilometers. Other trains served the Röhrsdorf – Zwickau section.

After the Sudetenland was annexed to Germany in autumn 1938, the line came to the Deutsche Reichsbahn , Reichsbahndirektion Dresden . In the Reich course book , the connection was now included as course book route 162b Röhrsdorf (Sudetenl) - German fork . After the end of the Second World War, the route came back to the ČSD.

In 1973 passenger traffic was discontinued. Until 1986 the route was still used for freight traffic. After it was discontinued, the track system was dismantled. Part of the route was used in the 80s and 90s for the expansion and widening of the trunk road No. 13 ( E 442 ).
