Bernburg Hauptbahnhof (until December 14, 2019: Bernburg ) is the most important train station in the city of Bernburg (Saale) in the Salzlandkreis in Saxony-Anhalt . In 1846 it went into operation as a terminus station and was thus the end point of one of the oldest railway lines in Germany. As early as 1865 it was replaced by a through station. The old terminal station was no longer used for rail purposes. In addition to the main route between Köthen and Aschersleben , another route has been branching off to Calbe since 1889/90 . The station played a very important role in freight transport for a long time. In 2012, extensive reception buildings - listed as historical monuments - and platforms were modernized.

Adjacent streets are Bahnhofstrasse , Hegestrasse and Köthensche Strasse . The next station to the north is the Bernburg-Waldau train station, which is about two kilometers away, and to the south is the Bernburg-Friedenshall stop, three kilometers away.

history

The building of the first Bernburg train station on Rheineplatz, which was demolished in 2015

After the decision to build a railway line from Bernburg to Köthen in 1845 , the railway line opened on September 10, 1846. Bernburg was the preliminary endpoint of the segment and the station was a terminus created.

As part of the extension of the route via Güsten to Aschersleben , the station was rebuilt as a through station from 1864 and the entire railway system relocated. In addition, several long-distance lines ran through Bernburg from now on. It was released for passenger traffic on October 10, 1865. Goods traffic was not started until six months later, for which a goods shed and a loading street were available. Since initially only small and medium-sized companies made use of the railway connection, the systems fully met the requirements until around 1880. During this time, the Solvay factory in Bernburg was established. Therefore, the first sidings were laid east of the station. However, these tracks had different owners. Some belonged to the municipality of Bernburg and other private companies. After 1880, the Bernburg depot was also built, which was an independent depot until 1967 and an operational site of the larger Güsten depot until 1991 . The central platform was newly built in the last decade of the 19th century.

The importance of Bernburg in freight transport increased rapidly in its first years. The new lines created in 1889 and 1890 also increased passenger traffic. Its regional importance lasted for many decades.

In 2012 the platforms were renewed and elevators were installed, making the station barrier-free . The reception building was also revitalized and modernized in the same year . The costs totaled 3.24 million euros. A DB travel center and other shops are located here.

With the timetable change on December 15, 2019, the station was given the new name Bernburg Hauptbahnhof .

First train station

The station of the Anhalt-Cöthenschen Eisenbahn, which went into operation in 1846, was located near Rheineplatz, formerly called Sedan-Platz. From this year, three locomotives were initially used from Bernburg station. Two of them came from Borsig in Berlin and the other from Stephenson in Great Britain.

The station building from when the train station was opened was a three-part classicist structure. After the railway operations were relocated to today's station, it was used as a hotel.

After 1990 there was no use for years. A renovation was declared unprofitable. So it was demolished in March 2015.
