History


The station was built in 1846 as a terminus of the Thuringian Railway from Halle. In 1847 the line was continued west to Erfurt, and to Bebra in 1849. In 1876 this was followed by a second line to Jena and Gera. In 1887, a third line opened to Bad Berka, Kranichfeld and Blankenhain (the Ilm Valley Railway). In the same year, a fourth line was connected to the station, the metre gauge Weimar-Rastenberg Railway line to Großrudestedt in Sömmerda. It was closed in 1946.
During the period of the Weimar Republic, Weimar was the state capital of Thuringia. Therefore, a new, prestigious reception building was built at that time in the neo-classical style. Under Nazism the station played a special role as the beginning a line for the transport of prisoners to Buchenwald concentration camp.
During the existence of East Germany the line from Naumburg to Erfurt was electrified. Weimar station had 116 regular arrivals and departures of long-distance trains in the summer timetable of 1989, making it the fifth place station in the network of the East German railways.
