The Kleinbahn AG Jauer-Maltsch connected the state railway lines from Liegnitz to Wroclaw and Schweidnitz in Lower Silesia .
history
On October 5, 1901, the Prussian state, the districts of Liegnitz and Jauer , the city of Jauer and other interested parties, as well as the railway construction company Lenz & Co GmbH, founded a small railway company based in Jauer.
They decided to build a 30-kilometer, standard-gauge small railway that opened on October 1, 1902. The company Lenz & Co, which set up a central workshop for their Silesian small railways in Jauer, ran the business.
Both passenger and freight traffic were modest. Until 1939 three pairs of trains were used daily; in the timetable for 1914 there were even four on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. During the Second World War, the offer was reduced to two trips a day.
In 1939 the company had three steam locomotives, four passenger cars, one pack car and 32 freight cars.
The main workshop for the Lenz railways was also located in Jauer east of the village.
route
Starting from the district town of Jauer (Jawor) , the route led in a north-easterly direction through the southeast part of the Liegnitz district, which was not accessible by other railway lines, to the small Maltsch an der Oder (Malczyce) railway junction , which already belonged to the Neumarkt district . There was also the seat of the railway administration.
Malczyce – Jawor railway line
After the Second World War , the railway line from Malczyce to Jawor was continued as part of the course book route number 248 by the PKP . When the route numbers were changed, the number 315 was later used. Passenger traffic was discontinued on June 22, 1975, and freight traffic was discontinued on January 1, 2000. The official decision to shut down the line followed on October 9, 2002.
The route is no longer completely available due to various road construction projects, but in 2007 the tracks were still on various sections of the route.
