Roßlau station

Roßlau station is a transport hub along the Elbe River with a main building from 1866 and an island platform accessible via a pedestrian tunnel. The structure combines the classical architecture of the 19th century with a functional layout for modern train operations.

The Berlin-Anhalt Railway Company opened this station in 1841 as part of its main line from Berlin through Wittenberg and Dessau to Köthen. The current main building was constructed later and has defined the character of the place ever since.

The station's architecture shows how such places served as vital connection points for people and goods in the 19th century. Today, visitors can still see the original structure of the main building and understand how significant this location was for the local community.

The station connects several major cities and offers regional train links along with bus services and taxi stands for travelers. The site has parking spaces for commuters and is easy to access on foot.

Between 1923 and 1945, the station had modern electric power with overhead lines, but after the war the catenary system was removed. Visitors with a keen eye can still spot traces of this electrified era on the buildings today.
