Nordhausen station building
Street view of Nordhausen station building with tram line on the left connecting the station with most districts of the town. It is located just south of the city centre in the valley of the Zorge. The railway arrived in Nordhausen on 10 July 1866 with the opening of the line to Halle, which was extended on 9 July 1867 to the west to Eichenberg. In 1869 lines to Northeim and to Erfurt were added. In 1897, the narrow gauge Harz Railway was opened to Wernigerode, starting at the Nordhausen Nord station on the north side of the station.
