Dresden-Plauen station (German: Haltepunkt Dresden-Plauen) is a railway station located in Dresden, Germany. The station is located on the Dresden–Werdau line and operated by DB Station&Service.
History
[edit]
The Haltepunkt Plauen bei Dresden ("Plauen near Dresden halt") was opened on 18 June 1855 together with the Albertsbahn (Albert's Railway) and was located to the left (south-east) of the railway. In 1897, the so-called Alte Bahnhof (old station) Plauen was opened with the station building located near the right-hand side of the current tracks. A few months later, the original building was demolished, when the connection to the Felsenkeller brewery was built there.[3] A waiting room was erected in its place, which was moved to the Boderitz-Cunnersdorf halt of the Windbergbahn (Windberg Railway, a former mining railway now used as a heritage railway) in 1923 and still exists today (2016). In 1903, after the incorporation of the village of Plauen into Dresden, the station's name was changed to Dresden-Plauen. Since the station was located quite poorly for the population of Dresden-Plauen, which had now grown to 12,000 people, a new station was opened about 800 m further north in January 1926 and the old station was closed.[4] This halt, opened in 1926, is to be renovated by the middle of 2018.[5] The entrance building that was built in 1897 (the old station) was renovated in the late 1990s and today houses a glass workshop (2016).[3]
