Fire Destroys Historic Großröhrsdorf Train Station, Disrupts Rail Traffic
A major blaze in the 150-year-old station required over 11 hours to extinguish, halting train services and prompting investigations into potential arson.
- The fire broke out shortly after midnight in the roof of the Großröhrsdorf train station, with flames quickly engulfing the historic structure.
- Over 68 firefighters from multiple departments worked through the night, using specialized equipment to contain and extinguish the blaze by morning.
- Train services on the S8 line between Kamenz and Radeberg were suspended, with temporary bus replacements provided until the tracks were cleared for safe use.
- No injuries were reported, but three residents living in an adjacent section of the station were temporarily displaced.
- Authorities have not determined the cause of the fire but are investigating the possibility of arson, as the building was largely vacant and in disrepair.
