Werdau wye

Passengers can change between trains in Werdau, Zwickau, Lichtentanne, Reichenbach in the Vogtland or Neumark.

Werdau was ideally situated for direct trains to the south towards Hof, but Gößnitz was preferable for connecting to Leipzig.

More than ten years later, on 1 March 1869, the continuous connection from Dresden was completed with the closure of the gap between Freiberg and Flöha.

Since then, the Werdau wye has had more than regional importance as a connecting point for rail transport between Silesia and Southern Germany.

It is part of the Saxon-Franconian trunk line (Sachsen-Franken-Magistrale) and is included in the plans for the Mid-Germany Railway (Mitte-Deutschland-Verbindung).

The Neumark separation, the tracks from Leipzig are to the left, the tracks from Dresden are to the right (2008)
