Bischofswerda railway station

The railway station stands at an elevation of 288.97 meters in the eastern German town of Bischofswerda, which serves as a gateway to Upper Lusatia.

The railway infrastructure emerged in 1845 with the official opening of the station, followed by the formal establishment of regular service operations in 1875.

The station building reflects the architectural characteristics of 19th-century Saxon railway constructions and holds protected status as a German cultural monument.

The station maintains regular connections to Dresden and Görlitz, providing transportation services for both local residents and regional travelers.

The station survived the major fire of 1813 that destroyed most of the medieval town and witnessed the subsequent reconstruction ordered by Frederick Augustus I.
