Flöha station

Flöha station is an important station on the Dresden–Werdau railway in the town of Flöha in the German state of Saxony. From here, the railway lines to Pockau-Lengefeld and to Annaberg-Buchholz branch off.
At first, Flöha station was only a through station on the Chemnitz–Annaberg railway, opened in 1866. With the building of the Freiberg–Flöha section of the Dresden–Werdau railway, a new station was built to the north-east of the existing station. Since then the entrance building has been a Keilbahnhof . With the construction of the Reitzenhain–Flöha railway, opened in 1875, another station was built to the northeast by the Chemnitz-Komotauer Eisenbahngesellschaft . It also built a roundhouse where locomotives were heated . Together with the Heizhaus of the state railway, a locomotive workshop developed, which from 1946 to 1950 was an independent Bahnbetriebswerk . In addition to operations on the lines connecting to Flöha, the locomotives stationed here were also responsible for pushing trains on the ramp towards Freiberg.
