Goßdorf-Kohlmühle railway station, Railway station in Hohnstein, Germany.
Goßdorf-Kohlmühle railway station is a small rural station in Saxony with a single platform and one track serving local trains. The station supports passenger travel for the surrounding villages with regular regional service.
A halt named Kohlmühle opened on 1 August 1877 with the Neustadt–Bad Schandau section of the Bautzen–Bad Schandau line, initially serving the paper factory beside it. It became a station on 1 May 1905 and was renamed Goßdorf-Kohlmühle on 15 May 1936. From 1897 to 1951 it was the starting point of the narrow-gauge line to Hohnstein; it was downgraded to a stop in 1965 and a halt in 1975.
The station's name links the villages of Goßdorf and Kohlmühle; until 14 May 1936 it was simply called Kohlmühle. From 1897 to 1951 it was the transfer point to the narrow-gauge line to Hohnstein, and the Schwarzbachbahn e. V. association, which bought the former station building in 2009, rebuilt a short stretch of that narrow-gauge track.
The station is easily accessible by foot but offers limited facilities for waiting passengers. Check the schedule ahead of time, as service frequencies are lower during certain periods of the day.
The station serves as an international connection point linking German railway routes to destinations in neighboring Czech Republic. This cross-border function gives the small station importance beyond its size within the regional network.
