history

The line was opened in several stages by the Prussian State Railways : On June 1, 1884 the section Breslau Hbf - Koberwitz was put into operation, on September 1, 1884 the Koberwitz - Puschkowa , on July 10, 1885 the Puschkowa - Ströbel, on 15 August 1898 the Ströbel – Croischwitz and also in 1898 the Schweidnitz Niederstadt – Schweidnitz Hbf branch , on October 1, 1904 the last section Croischwitz – Charlottenbrunn .

The Breslau – Koberwitz section was expanded to two tracks in 1910, but the second track was dismantled in 1945. The line then came to the Polish State Railways . The Schweidnitz – Bad Charlottenbrunn section was not reopened until 1950, on May 28, 1989, passenger traffic was stopped and the section closed in 2004. Since 2018 this line has been repaired for 110 million zlotys. The reopening is planned for 2020.

Passenger traffic from Wroclaw to Schweidnitz was discontinued in 2000. A resumption on this section was considered several times. Passenger traffic was supposed to be reintroduced as early as 2013, but this did not happen. In 2019, it was decided to expand the line to 100 km / h and restart it with a journey time of 60 to 80 minutes by spring 2021.
