Reich Railway Directorate Halle
The Reichsbahndirektion Halle was a railway directorate in Halle (Saale)
history
The Royal Railway Directorate in Halle was established in 1895 in the area of the Prussian State Railways . When the Prussian State Railroad merged with the Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1920, the management was subsequently renamed Reichsbahndirektion Halle , which it also kept during the GDR era. The directorates of the Deutsche Reichsbahn were abolished when the Deutsche Bahn AG was founded in 1994 and their tasks were transferred to the local business units.
Area of responsibility
The area of the directorate extended over the southern parts of the Prussian provinces of Saxony and Brandenburg and reached in the east into the western tip of the province of Silesia . In addition, the Saxon area around Leipzig also belonged to the administrative district.
Significant routes within the management were:

- the route (Magdeburg) - Wittenberg - Falkenberg / Elster – Ruhland– (Kohlfurt)

building
The main building of railway management is at the Ernst-Kamieth -Straße (between Maybach road and Budde street) close to the main railway station and was 1901/1902 under the direction of architects and Prussian Baubeamten Paul Thoemer and Eduard Fürstenau built. With four wings on a rectangular floor plan, the building encloses a total of five inner courtyards, one of which is large in the center and four smaller ones in the corners of the complex. With the corner towers, the central risalit and a large staircase, it is one of the largest historical administration buildings in Halle (Saale). A later extension on the opposite corner property for the Reichsbahnamt Halle was connected to the main building by a closed connecting bridge over Buddestrasse.
