Bahnhof Aue, Railway station and cultural heritage monument in Aue, Germany.
Bahnhof Aue is a passenger railway station in the Saxon town of Aue, situated on the line between Zwickau and Schwarzenberg. The 19th-century station building is listed as a protected monument and the station has three platform tracks.
The station opened in May 1858 and was first used mainly to move freight for the mining and industrial activities in the area. Over time it grew in importance for passenger travel and became a regular part of the Saxon rail network.
The station building shows the typical features of Historicism with its symmetrical facade and carefully worked stone details. Its protected status as a monument makes it a rare surviving example of railway architecture from the second half of the 19th century in Saxony.
The station is fully step-free, as the platforms were made accessible during renovation work carried out in 2016. The layout is compact and easy to navigate, making it straightforward to reach the platforms on foot.
During its history the station carried several different names and only received its final designation Bahnhof Aue (Sachs) in 1933. The addition of "Sachs" was used to tell it apart from other stations with similar names elsewhere in Germany.
