Magdeburg Southeast Station

The Magdeburg Südost station is a railway station on the Magdeburg–Leipzig railway line in the Magdeburg district of Westerhüsen. The actual station building, which is no longer used for railway operations, is a listed monument.
The construction of the railway line was approved on February 14, 1836, by Friedrich Wilhelm III, and the specific construction plan for the line was approved on November 13, 1837. The line was divided into 12 construction sections. Westerhüsen was part of the 2nd construction section Buckau-Schönebeck. The actual start of construction in Westerhüsen took place on April 24, 1838. The construction crew consisted of 1 engineer, 3 supervisors, and between 150 to 320 civil engineering workers. By the end of August 1838, the railway bridge on Sohlener Straße and the level crossing at the old Westerhüsen cemetery were largely completed. The railway bridge was made of wood and surrounded by wooden planks. The owners of the properties through which the route passed were compensated. For instance, the windmill operator Grabau received 600 talers because the railway line cut across the access road to his windmill.
