Greiz station

Greiz station is located in the town of Greiz in the German state of Thuringia. It is on the Gera Süd–Weischlitz railway, which is still in operation, and the Neumark–Greiz railway, which has been suspended since 1999, branches off there.
Although a route through the Elster valley was considered for the first time in the 1830s, Greiz only received a rail connection in 1865 with the opening of the Neumark–Greiz railway by the private Greiz-Brunn Railway Company . This line, however, ended in the Elster valley and was located far from the town centre. Therefore, a direct railway connection was desired in the 1860s. The Saxon-Thuringian Railway Company therefore received a concession for the construction of the Wolfsgefärth–Weischlitz railway.
