Dürrhennersdorf Station

The Dürrhennersdorf station is a operational facility of the standard-gauge railway line Ebersbach–Löbau and the former narrow-gauge railway Taubenheim–Dürrhennersdorf starting here. The station served as a junction station for the standard gauge area and as a terminal station for the narrow gauge area. Since December 14, 2002, no train has stopped at the station, which has been reduced to a stop.

The station was opened on November 1, 1873, as a junction station of the Ebersbach–Löbau railway line. There are no details in the literature about the track layout at that time. It is no longer exactly known whether it consisted of two tracks or more. Accurate information is only available from the connection of the narrow-gauge railway Taubenheim–Dürrhennersdorf in 1892. From then on, the station had five tracks in the standard gauge area with 13 simple switches as well as eight tracks and ten simple switches in the narrow gauge area. The station is located on level ground, while the route from Löbau to Ebersbach/Sa. is on an incline. Trains heading towards Ebersbach/Sa. were able to gain momentum in the station area.
