History

History

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 ("wedge station"). With the construction of the Reitzenhain–Flöha railway, opened in 1875, another station was built to the northeast by the Chemnitz-Komotauer Eisenbahngesellschaft (Chemnitz-Chomutov Railway Company).[3][4] It also built a roundhouse where locomotives were heated (Heizhaus). Together with the Heizhaus of the state railway, a locomotive workshop developed, which from 1946 to 1950 was an independent Bahnbetriebswerk (locomotive depot). 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.[5]

The present stately entrance building was built during a large reconstruction of the station in the 1930s.[3]

Although the station has been substantially reconstructed, there are still six platform faces available.

Infrastructure

The station now has three covered platforms with two platform tracks each and a siding. The platforms can be reached by a passenger subway running all the way under the station from the entrance building to the town.

The station has been remotely-controlled by an electronic interlocking system since 18 July 2004, but signalbox W1 is still standing near the exit to Annaberg and a carriage shed; signalbox B2 was demolished in December 2007.[6]
