Chojnów (German: Haynau) is a railway station on the in the town of Chojnów, within the Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.
The station opened as Hainau on 1 October 1845. The station was renamed to Haynau in 1860.[1] In 1910, a new station building was built[2] about 200 metres east of the former one, which was later demolished before 1930.[3]
After World War II, the land past the Lusatian Neisse and Oder rivers came under Polish administration. As a result, the station was taken over Polish State Railways, and was renamed to Gajewicko and later to its modern name, Chojnów, in 1946.[4]
On 26 May 1990, the section between Złotoryja and Chojnów of the Złotoryja–Rokitki railway closed. This followed up with the closure of the section between Rokitki and Chojnów on 14 December 2002.[5]
In November 2017 Polish State Railways signed a contract for the full renovation of the station building.[6] The renovation of the station was completed in April 2019, and costed about 9.7 million Polish złoty.[7]
On 11 December 2022, the section of the Złotoryja–Rokitki railway between Rokitki and Chojnów reopened, after the reconstruction of the abandoned line.[8] The reconstruction of the section costed about 24 million Polish złoty.[9]
