Glauchau also has another station at Glauchau-Schönbörnchen. ==History == On 15 November 1858, the Chemnitz-Zwickau section of the Dresden–Werdau line was opened together with Glauchau station. The line was built the support of the Saxon government and eventually became part of the Royal Saxon State Railways. The station originally had seven 680 m-long station tracks with a total of 35 sets of points. With the opening of Mulden Valley Railway to Wurzen on 10 May 1875, the station was slightly expanded. From 1908, planning began on expansion of the station, which was no longer big enough for to handle traffic demands. In 1913, actual construction work started, however, it was interrupted by the First World War and could not resume until 1923. The new works included new freight facilities, four signal boxes, a maintenance depot and two bridges over the Lungwitzbach stream. The tracks and platforms were altered and expanded. On 30 April 1926, the new Glauchau station went into operation.〔(Stadt Glauchau - Geschichte der Stadt Glauchau )〕 During the Second World War bombs were dropped on the station area on several occasions. On 11 April 1945, 55 people, including 54 members of the Wehrmacht died in a carriage.〔Erinnerungen an den Frühling 1945, p 48., ISBN 3-9806774-2-7〕 During the 2002 European floods the Mulden Valley Railway was damaged. As a result, the last passenger train ran on the line in 13 August 2002. Freight traffic had already been terminated on 1 July 2000. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glauchau (Sachs) station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
