Mosel station

The station was opened in 1858 with the Chemnitz–Glauchau–Zwickau section of the Dresden–Werdau railway. It was originally classified as a Haltepunkt (halt) and was reclassified as a station in 1875. With the construction of the narrow-gauge Mosel–Ortmannsdorf railway, which was opened in 1885, Mosel became an interchange station. The facilities were extensively expanded for this purpose. In addition to an enlargement of the entrance building, a roundhouse where locomotives were heated (Heizhaus), a new freight shed and other buildings were built. Since 1893, the Zwickau–Crossen–Mosel railway, a freight-only line, has entered the station.

There was a gated level crossing at the station until 1900. Then an underpass was built because of the great increase in traffic on the Dresden–Werdau railway; this still exists today.

In 1951, the narrow-gauge railway was dismantled, but the buildings of the narrow-gauge line remained for some time. The coal-loading facility, for example, was demolished only in 1982.^[3] Since 1991, the industrial railway, which now only connects to a drive shaft factory and a Volkswagen works, has been integrated into the eastern part of the station since the 1980s. The remaining part of the industrial railway was converted into a shunting track on 30 April 1999.
