Weißes Roß, Railway station and cultural heritage monument in Radebeul, Germany.
Weißes Roß is a railway station and cultural heritage monument in Radebeul located at Augustusweg 2, featuring a plastered signalman house containing a ticket counter and waiting room. An adjacent wooden waiting hall provides shelter for passengers using the facility.
The station opened on September 15, 1884, when the narrow-gauge railway line from Radebeul to Radeburg was inaugurated. This single-track route through the region became an important transportation link for the area.
The station's name comes from the neighboring inn called Weißes Roß, which has existed since 1789 and shaped the area. This historical connection between railway station and tavern shows how local landmarks maintain a place's identity across generations.
Daily service includes five to six passenger train pairs operated by the Saxon Steam Railway Company, connecting travelers to Dresden's tram network. The station is well-positioned between different transport modes for easy onward travel into the city.
The intersection area underwent major reconstruction in 2005, with a new eastern curve added to reduce the crossing angle with tram tracks. This adjustment improved traffic safety and allowed smooth operation at this critical point.
