Radebeul-Kötzschenbroda station

The Radebeul-Kötzschenbroda station is a train stop in the Kötzschenbroda district featuring four platforms and Renaissance Revival architecture. The building combines villa-like structures with distinctive pyramid roofs into a cohesive composition.

The station opened in 1840 as Kötzschenbroda and received a new building in 1896 during the expansion of the Leipzig-Dresden railway line. This rebuild was part of a broader modernization of the regional rail network.

The station building reflects the Semper Nicolai school of architecture, a design tradition that shaped Dresden and Saxon buildings during the 19th century. The villa-like structures with their distinctive pyramid roofs continue to define how the place looks and feels.

The station has digital displays for real-time train information and elevators providing access to the platforms. Parking areas for bicycles and vehicles are available for arriving and departing passengers.

The station grounds once housed the Palastkino, a cinema with remarkably compact dimensions. It held the record as the smallest recognized cinema by capacity until 2013.
