Bahnhof Wilzschhaus, Railway station and cultural heritage monument in Schönheide, Germany.
Bahnhof Wilzschhaus is a railway station building in Schonheide's southern district with two platform tracks and a reception area. The structure sits in the mountainous landscape of the Erzgebirge region at roughly 569 meters elevation.
The station opened in 1875 and formed part of the Chemnitz-Adorf railway line. For more than a century it served as a key transport hub for the region before operations ended in 1998.
The station displays architectural features typical of 19th-century railway construction and received heritage protection for its historical value. Visitors can observe the building style of that era in its stonework and window design.
The building sits in a mountainous area and is reachable on foot from central Schonheide. Visitors should note it is a decommissioned railway site, so the grounds require careful exploration.
The station was once officially known as Bahnhof Schonheide Sud, a name formally assigned in 1950. This designation points to its location at the southern edge of Schonheide's railway network.
