List of train stations and stops in Görlitz and Zgorzelec

The train stations and stops in the urban areas of Görlitz and Zgorzelec

The list of train stations and stops in Görlitz and Zgorzelec includes all train stations for passenger and freight traffic in the urban areas of the German-Polish neighboring cities of Görlitz and Zgorzelec . Up until the end of the Second World War, the city ​​of Görlitz was an important rail hub for local and long-distance passenger transport as well as freight traffic. With the demarcation along the Lusatian Neisse after the war and the political change in 1989/1990, however, it lost its former importance and is now only a regional node in eastern Upper Lusatia .

Until 1945, the Görlitz-Moys station east of the Neisse (today: Zgorzelec station ) in what was then Görlitz's Moys district was also one of the stations in Görlitz's urban area. Today it is one of two access points in the neighboring Polish town of Zgorzelec, along with the Zgorzelec Miasto stop .

Train stations

Name of the station	image	comment	stretch	opening	closure	City or district
German Ossig		The first station building at the Deutsch-Ossig stop was to the west of the railroad tracks. With the laying of the second track between Görlitz and Nikrisch (today: Hagenwerder), the stop received a new flat service building on the east side of the tracks and a second platform in 1909. In 1946 the second track was dismantled. On May 23, 1985, the line was relocated in this area because it was in the mining area of ​​the Berzdorf opencast mine . Deutsch-Ossig received a new stopping point with a concrete waiting hall at today's Bundesstraße 99 . As a result of the expansion of the open pit, the residents of the village were later relocated and the breakpoint was closed in 1993.

Goerlitz	more pictures	The station Görlitz is the central train station of the city. The first station building and the surrounding railway facilities were significantly expanded between 1867 and 1869. Today's station ensemble was only built between 1906 and 1917.

Görlitz industrial train station		The station is used for the handover and takeover of freight and passenger wagons to and from Waggonbau Görlitz , which is connected to the industrial station via a siding. The name of the station changed frequently, so it was named Schlauroth Ost , Schlauroth Ost transition station or Görlitz transfer station . It was the freight yard of the Görlitzer Kreisbahn and had a weighbridge, coal bunkers and a water crane. Here the freight wagons changed from the tracks of the state railway to the tracks of the private Görlitzer Kreisbahn. The locomotive shed of the district railway company was also located on the site. In 1955, the Görlitz car repair shop moved into the former district railway locomotive shed at Leontinenhof.

Görlitz-Rauschwalde		Since the 1980s, numerous railway workers at the nearby marshalling yard , the repair shop , the structural engineering department and the development and testing center for the automatic central buffer coupling have been demanding the construction of a stop at the pedestrian bridge on Helmut-von-Gerlach-Straße. However, this breakpoint was not realized until the late 1990s. With the opening of the Görlitz-Rauschwalde stop , the one in Schlauroth was closed. In the meantime, however, all railway facilities were closed except for the former test center on the site of the Schlaurother marshalling yard. In 2000, when the second track was laid, the station also got a second platform.	DG (km 3.05)	29 Sep 1999	-	Rauschwalde 51 ° 8 ′ 57 ″ N, 14 ° 56 ′ 10 ″ E
Görlitz suburb	more pictures	The freight station had two freight tracks and a 270 meter long siding to the Holzimprägnieranstalt Silbermann & Knothe. After the second track was laid between Görlitz and Nikrisch (today: Hagenwerder), the station was abandoned in favor of the new Posottendorf-Leschwitz station (today: Görlitz-Weinhübel ) 200 meters further south. The 2½-storey service building was still used as an official residence after it was closed.	GH (≈ km 210.50)	0Jun 1, 1875	0Oct. 1, 1910	Weinhübel 51 ° 7 ′ 51 ″ N, 14 ° 58 ′ 24 ″ E
Görlitz-Weinhübel		The station was built after the double-track expansion of the railway line between Görlitz and Nikrisch (today: Hagenwerder) west of the village of Posottendorf-Leschwitz (today: Weinhübel). The second track, however, was dismantled again in 1946. The service building had a goods shed with a side loading ramp for local goods traffic. Since 1996 the operating point has only been an unoccupied stop. It should possibly be closed after the completion of the stop at Berzdorfer See .

Goerlitz West		The Görlitz West station was called Görlitz Rauschwalder Strasse until it was renamed . It belonged to the Görlitzer Kreisbahn AG until the end of the Second World War . The massive station building was built in 1913 and replaced the previous temporary structure. Since July 1, 1948, trains on the Görlitzer Kreisbahn have ended at Görlitz station.

Hagenwerder	more pictures	The station, like the place, was called Nikrisch until the place names of Slavic origin were renamed in 1936 . South of the station, the lines to Seidenberg and Zittau separated until the end of the Second World War . The Seidenberg Railway has been interrupted since the Neisse bridge was blown up on May 7, 1945.	ZN (km 23,613) GH (km 217.42)	0Jun 1, 1875	-	Hagenwerder 51 ° 4 ′ 13 ″ N, 14 ° 57 ′ 37 ″ E
Ober-Neundorf		The charging station in Ober-Neundorf was part of the strategic railway between the GDR and the People's Republic of Poland built in 1976 by the National People's Army, which should be put into operation in Horka and Görlitz in the event of the destruction of the railway bridges over the Lusatian Neundorf . In Ober-Neundorf, a track branched off east of Krauschaer Strasse, which was to serve as a charging station in the event of war.	SB	1976	Apr 22, 1993	Ober-Neundorf 51 ° 12 ′ 55 ″ N, 14 ° 59 ′ 49 ″ E
Clever red		At the request of the residents of Holtendorf , Markersdorf , Pfaffendorf and Schlauroth, the Royal Saxon State Railways opened the Schlauroth stop in 1891 with two platforms west of the Görlitz-Bautzener Chaussee level crossing. The breakpoint had to be moved 100 meters to the east in 1909 due to the new Schlauroth marshalling yard . With the relocation, a massive service building with service and waiting room was created on the southern platform. The breakpoint was closed at the end of the 1990s in favor of the Görlitz-Rauschwalde breakpoint .	DG (km 3.91)	0December 1, 1891	28 Sep 1999	Schlauroth 51 ° 8 ′ 46 ″ N, 14 ° 55 ′ 21 ″ E
Schlauroth marshalling yard	more pictures	With the expansion of the Görlitz train station, the goods traffic handling should be relocated. There were considerations to expand the suburban station Posottendorf-Leschwitz (today: Görlitz-Weinhübel) as a freight station. However, these plans failed due to the difficult terrain and the location near Schlauroth and Rauschwalde was preferred for the construction of a freight station. Construction work on the Schlauroth marshalling yard in the west of the city began in 1906. In 1909 it was opened to traffic.

Zgorzelec	more pictures	The station was only built with the railway line to Lauban (today: Lubań), although the railway line from Görlitz to Kohlfurt (today: Węgliniec) had passed the village of Moys since 1847 . His name was Moys b then. Goerlitz . In 1876, today's station building was erected in a wedge between the two lines. From May 1933 the station was called Görlitz-Moys . The demolition of the nearby Neisse viaduct on the evening of May 7, 1945 by Wehrmacht units separated the station east of the Lusatian Neisse from the Görlitz station west of the river. After the end of the war, the areas east of the Lusatian Neisse had to be ceded to Poland. The station was now in the Zgorzelec district of Ujazd and was renamed Zgorzelec-Ujazd in 1948 . Since 1957, trains have been running again over the rebuilt viaduct to the neighboring German city.	GW (km 26,532) ZgW (km 201,433)	1865	-	Zgorzelec Ujazd 51 ° 8 ′ 23 ″ N, 15 ° 0 ′ 11 ″ E
Zgorzelec Miasto	more pictures	After the end of the Second World War, the Polish Railways began building a connecting curve between the Węgliniec – Görlitz line and the Zgorzelec – Wałbrzych line , which made it possible to bypass the Zgorzelec-Ujazd station . However, in order to enable a passenger stop in Zgorzelec for continuous trains, the Zgorzelec Miasto stop was built at the same time . The platforms and tracks were fundamentally renovated in 2006 and 2007 as part of the German-Polish agreement for cooperation in the further development of rail connections from 2003.
