Wunsiedel railway station building
Former railway station of Wunsiedel, located on the abandoned Holenbrunn–Leupoldsdorf railway. The Holenbrunn–Leupoldsdorf railway was built in two stages. First the Royal Bavarian State Railways decided on 15 August 1877 to link the town of Wunsiedel by a Lokalbahn (~local line) to the main line from Hof to Holenbrunn being opened at the same time, and which was extended in 1878 from Holenbrunn to Marktredwitz. On 8 November 1913 the branch line was also extended from Wunsiedel to Leupoldsdorf. On 28 September 1975 passenger services on the 11 km long route were withdrawn. On 23 May 1993 the line was closed. Photo taken Saturday 1 June 2013. Photo: Steffen Mokosch (Steffen.Mokosch@web.de)
