Hosena station

Hosena station is a station at the junction of the Węgliniec–Roßlau railway and the Lübbenau–Kamenz railway. The station is located in the southeast of the German state of Brandenburg in the village of Hosena, north of the village of Hohenbocka.The station was built in 1873 as a “tower station” on the Lübbenau-Kamenz and Węgliniec –Roßlau railways. Remains of the railway bridge of the Lübbenau-Kamenz line still exist.HistoryAt the beginning of April 1871, King William I and the Kingdom of Saxony signed a concession for the establishment of the Berlin-Görlitz Railway Company (Berlin-Görlitzer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft), with the concession giving permission for the construction of a railway connecting Senftenberg to the Kamenz–Pirna railway. The first construction work began on 1 September 1871. A treaty was contracted between Saxony and Prussia on 7 December 1871, which regulated the carrying out of construction on the Lübbenau–Calau–Senftenberg–Kamenz route. The flat country north of Kamenz, which had few rivers, was favourable for rapid progress and the works proceeded without difficulty. The Prussian border was reached north of Hosena in 1872.
