Gera Hauptbahnhof

Gera Central Station is the main station of the Thuringian town of Gera. Gera is one of the largest cities in Germany with no long-distance rail connections and no electrified lines. The station is a significant regional transport hub. The station is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 3 station.
The railway was extended in 1859 from Weißenfels to Gera via Zeitz . At that time, the first station was built at the site of today's Hauptbahnhof as the Prussian station , as distinct from the Saxon station at today's Gera Süd station. In the following years further lines were built converging on Gera Hauptbahnhof: in 1865 the connection with the Leipzig–Hof line at Gößnitz to the east, in 1871 to Saalfeld in the south-west , in 1873 to Leipzig in the north , in 1875 to Plauen in the south , in 1876 to Erfurt in the west and to Zwickau in the south-east , in 1880 to Eisenberg in the northwest and in 1883 to Zeulenroda-Triebes and Hof in the south east . Located north of the passenger station was a combined marshalling and yard, connected to a railway depot, both of which are now closed. In 1892, shortly after the opening of the tram network, a facility was built in the freight yard for transferring freight wagons, supported by metre-gauge tram bogies, over the tram lines to factories in Gera. A tram line was opened in 1893 from the station to the central city.
