Görlitz Repair Works

The Görlitz repair shop was a railway maintenance workshop in the western part of the city of Görlitz in Upper Lusatia. The facility had been in existence since the era of the regional railways. It was responsible for the maintenance and repair of Prussian and Saxon freight locomotives. After World War II, the railway workshop was elevated to an independent Reichsbahn repair shop and eventually closed in the mid-1990s.
The maintenance workshop was located north of the Görlitz city districts of Rauschwalde and Schlauroth. The Görlitz–Dresden railway line and later the test center for the automatic middle buffer coupling to the south, as well as the shunting yard Schlauroth to the north, completely surrounded the factory premises. A footbridge crossed the Görlitz–Dresden railway line to what is now Friedrich-List-Straße. There was a gate that still exists today. From the east, a connecting road led past the water tower up to the bridge at Maxim-Gorki-Straße. Today, TÜV still uses this road connection, which now leads to Wiesbadener Straße. The bridges on Maxim-Gorki-Straße from 1912 were demolished in 2011.
