Dresden Leipzig railway station

The Leipzig station was the first railway station in Dresden, the capital of Saxony. It was located not far from today's Dresden-Neustadt station in the Leipzig suburbs and was the terminus of the first German long-distance railway Leipzig–Dresden, which was inaugurated in 1839.

The rapid increase in traffic volume and the connection to newly built railway lines made significant expansions as well as conversions and new buildings necessary in the first decades of its existence. With the extensive redesign of Dresden's railway facilities at the end of the 19th century, the station finally lost its function for passenger traffic, which was henceforth taken over by the newly built Dresden-Neustadt station. The freight transport facilities, on the other hand, continue to be used today as the Dresden-Neustadt freight station.
