Döbeln Hauptbahnhof (official name: Döbeln Hbf ) is a railway - operating agency of the intersecting rail lines Borsdorf-Coswig and Riesa-Chemnitz . The train station is the central train station of the city of Döbeln in Saxony . From 1884 to 1964, Döbeln Hbf was also the end point of the narrow-gauge railway from Oschatz .

location

The main train station is located about two kilometers west of Döbelner city center above the Freiberger Mulde valley , adjacent to the Kleinbauchlitz district . The immediate station forecourt joins Bahnhofstrasse (part of Bundesstrasse 175 ), which establishes the street-side connection to the old town. A side exit also connects the main station via a pedestrian underpass with Mastener Strasse south of the track system.

Döbeln Hauptbahnhof is a railway junction where the main line from Chemnitz to Riesa meets that of the ( Leipzig -) Borsdorf - Coswig (- Dresden ) line. With the Limmritz (Sachs) stop , a second station is served by trains in the Döbelner urban area.

history

Although Döbeln had already had a connection to the Riesa – Chemnitz line with the nearby Großbauchlitz station since 1847 , the station was only opened as "Döbeln station" with the opening of the Döbeln – Leisnig section of the Borsdorf – Coswig line on June 2, 1868. interim ”only had a“ people entry shed ”. On October 25, 1868, the Döbeln Ost stop on the route to Meißen went into operation, and the Döbeln station was given the name Hauptbahnhof to distinguish it. It was only two years later, under the direction of the department engineer Bassenge, that the station building was given its present reception building on January 1, 1870, which resembles the building of the Zwickau main station at the time. The simple, functional building contained rooms for the post office, police and railway employees with baggage handling and three waiting rooms for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Car class. From November 1, 1884, the narrow-gauge railway to Mügeln also connected the Döbelner station to the Wilsdruffer network by means of a third rail up to the Gärtitz junction . In 1886 the "passenger locks" were given platform roofs.

From 1892 to 1926 the Döbelner horse tram served as a connection between the main train station and the city center. In 1896 there were major changes to the station system through extensions to include locomotive and goods sheds. During the renovation in 1925 according to plans by Mirus, the floor plan was only slightly changed. Passenger traffic on the narrow-gauge line was stopped on December 15, 1964.

Investments

Reception building

Postcard of the train station from 1903. At that time, instead of the words “Döbeln Hauptbahnhof”, the names of the cities in the direction of which the crossing lines run were enthroned on the front facade.

The entrance building, which was erected in March 1869 and opened after ten months of construction on January 1, 1870, is in the style of historicism . The symmetrically designed, representative building takes up neo-Romanesque and neo-Gothic forms. Striking and bulky three-storey corner towers delimit the arched front facade of the otherwise two-storey building. Corner pilaster strips also emphasize the structure of the facade. The entire appearance is based on the former reception building of Zwickau's main train station , which was built in 1858 and demolished in 1937 . Due to its architectural and local historical importance and its role as a street scene, the Döbelner reception building is a listed cultural monument. The historian Rolf-Ulrich Kunze praised the Döbelner station building as "one of the most beautiful German station buildings ever".

From 2008, DB Station & Service AG offered the reception building for sale. The city of Döbeln turned down an offer to buy because there was a lack of a usage concept and a target for the property from the municipal side. In 2010 the station building was sold to Main Asset Management GmbH based in Dreieich , which in turn offered the station building for sale from 2014 for a price of 300,000 euros. In 2016, a new owner was found in Neumayr & Sedlmeir GbR from Erding .

Tickets are sold in the Central German Regiobahn customer center, which opened on January 13, 2020, on the ground floor of the reception building. Previously, Deutsche Bahn AG operated a " DB travel center " in the main train station until April 2005 , which continued until September 15, 2019 as an owner-managed " DB agency ".

In addition to the customer center, a pizza delivery service uses rooms on the ground floor, the station restaurant "Gleis 3" closed in April 2012. The upper floor has offices for Deutsche Bahn AG, a lounge for the train attendants of the Central German Regiobahn and the Döbelner local branch of the railway social work . Nevertheless, large parts of the reception building are currently (as of March 2020) empty. This condition, together with the fact that no more investments have been made in the property since the renewal of all windows in the 1990s, leads to an overall impression of the station building in need of renovation.

Signal box

B1 signal box

The railway operations in Döbelner Hauptbahnhof are coordinated by dispatchers in command control center 1 (abbreviated to B1) , which is located north of the tracks. It is designed as an electromechanical interlocking of the type E12 / 78 / GS II with elements of the track diagram interlocking technology and was put into operation on April 30, 1991.

Until December 13, 2007, in addition to the main signal box B1 , the two mechanical guard signal boxes W2 on the south side of the tracks and W3 in the north-eastern part of the station were in operation, on which point attendants were on duty. The W2 signal box, built in 1905, was responsible for the entry and exit signals in the direction of Coswig and regulated the locomotive changes , shunting trips to the depot and the operation of the loading ramp , the loading lane and the goods floor . The handover journeys to the sidings of some companies were also the responsibility of W2 . After the responsibilities of the two guard interlockings were transferred to B1 in 2007 , the W2 interlocking was demolished from February 19 to 22, 2008; W3 followed a week later.
