Döbeln Zentrum railway station
Station building of Döbeln Zentrum, located on the mainline Borsdorf–Coswig and formerly known as Döbeln Ost. Döbeln Zentrum station provides direct access to central Döbeln. In 1868 the station was opened as Döbeln halt (Haltepunkt) and renamed Döbeln Ost in 1905. Since 21 August 2004 the station (once again a Haltepunkt, now meaning that is it has no sets of points) has been renamed Döbeln Zentrum. The tracks originally ran at street level until 1904, when the line was tunnelled under Roßweiner Straße and the tracks were lowered around six metres. Since the (now unused) station building remained at street level, the platform is only accessible by stairs from the Roßweiner Straße bridge. Photo taken Thursday 6 October 2011.
