Freiberg

Freiberg station is a station on the Dresden–Werdau railway and the Nossen–Moldava railway in Freiberg in the German state of Saxony. Until 1995 it was also the start of the disused Freiberg–Halsbrücke railway.
Freiberg station was opened with the opening of the extension of the Dresden–Tharandt railway to Freiberg on 11 August 1862. The station building, which was generous at the time, was designed by Freiberg architect Eduard Heuchler and included Gothic Revival elements. There is not much to see of these since reconstruction in the 20th century, but in its basic structure the station is still the building of 1862. Nearly seven years after its opening, the extension of the line to Chemnitz was opened on 1 March 1869 and Freiberg station became a through station. In the following decade, the Nossen–Moldava railway, which ran via Freiberg, was opened and, in 1890, operations began on the Freiberg–Halsbrücke railway, which had particular significance for freight transport. The sharp increase in passenger and freight traffic required the reconstruction of the station’s rail facilities in 1900. The station’s track layout was extended to the south, the low platforms between the tracks were replaced with platforms connected by passenger tunnels and the level crossings over streets were replaced by underpasses.
