Dresden-Plauen station (German: Haltepunkt Dresden-Plauen) is a railway station located in Dresden, Germany. The station is located on the Dresden–Werdau line and operated by DB Station&Service.

History

The renovated entrance building from 1897 at the first Dresden-Plauen station, which was active until 1926, as seen from south. The new station is located much closer to residential areas, approximately near the chimney in the picture's background.

The Haltepunkt Plauen bei Dresden ("Plauen near Dresden halt") was opened on 18 June 1855 together with the Albertsbahn (Albert's Railway) and was located to the left (south-east) of the railway. In 1897, the so-called Alte Bahnhof (old station) Plauen was opened with the station building located near the right-hand side of the current tracks. A few months later, the original building was demolished, when the connection to the Felsenkeller brewery was built there.[3] A waiting room was erected in its place, which was moved to the Boderitz-Cunnersdorf halt of the Windbergbahn (Windberg Railway, a former mining railway now used as a heritage railway) in 1923 and still exists today (2016). In 1903, after the incorporation of the village of Plauen into Dresden, the station's name was changed to Dresden-Plauen. Since the station was located quite poorly for the population of Dresden-Plauen, which had now grown to 12,000 people, a new station was opened about 800 m further north in January 1926 and the old station was closed.[4] This halt, opened in 1926, is to be renovated by the middle of 2018.[5] The entrance building that was built in 1897 (the old station) was renovated in the late 1990s and today houses a glass workshop (2016).[3]
