Krzewina railway

The first part of the Zittau–Hagenwerder railway opened on 15 October 1875.^[9] At the time, the whole line was located in Germany.^[10] On the same day with the opening of the line, Krzewina Zgorzelecka and Bratków Zgorzelecki railway stations opened, originally as Ostritz and Rusdorf.^[2][6]

After World War II, the area east of the Oder–Neisse line became part of Poland. The two stations on the line that became part of Poland closed as they weren't connected to any railway lines in Poland.^[10] The line remained open, but passing German trains must have had their doors locked to prevent illegal border crossings into Poland.^[7]

In 1957, the Mikułowa–Bogatynia railway was opened by Polish State Railways. As it shared most of the tracks of the Krzewina railway, passenger services began calling at Krzewina Zgorzelecka and Bratków Zgorzelecki once again.^[11] Prior to this, Trzciniec Zgorzelecki closed in 1950 and was demolished the following year.^[12]

On 6 November 1959, German train services were now able to call at Krzewina Zgorzelecka, under a new agreement between the Polish and German governments. Alighting passengers were escorted to Ostritz by armed Polish Border Protection Forces to prevent illegal border crossings into Poland.^[7] These restrictions were eased in a local agreement in 1993,^[13] and border controls were fully abolished in 2007 with Poland's accession to the Schengen Area.^[10]

In 2000, passenger services on the Mikułowa–Bogatynia railway were withdrawn. This closure made the Krzewina railway the only railway line in Poland to be solely served by German trains. Currently, the Mikułowa–Bogatynia railway is only used by freight trains.^[11] In 2025, there were plans for passenger services to return to the Mikułowa–Bogatynia railway, part of the Kolej Plus programme.^[14] This would have also included Krzewina Zgorzelecka and Bratków Zgorzelecki.^[15] These plans were later dropped.^[16][14]

The line is the only in Poland to solely be served by German trains, operated by Ostdeutsche Eisenbahn.^[3][4]

The station is served by the following services:

• Regional services (RB) Cottbus - Görlitz - Zittau^[17]
