History

On June 23, 1846 Bautzen was connected with the completion of the partial route Bischofswerda - Bautzen to the railway line Görlitz - Dresden, the Saxon- Silesian Railway Company. On September 1, 1847, the connection was opened through to Görlitz.

The location of Bautzen station was due to various technical and economic parameters - including the Spree Valley was crossed at one of the narrowest point - set slightly away from the historic old town. The location of the station has in the subsequent period greatly influenced the urban traffic and caused significant changes to the existing city structure.

Neither the expense of a longer path to the town center via a road bend nor a diagonal street breakthrough to the city center were consistently implemented in Bautzen, instead there is an urban compromise. On the connecting axis station 's main market, was attacked hard in the medieval suburb of structure and (now Karl -Marx -Straße) created a road breakdown with the imperial road through the growing urban structure up to the grain market.

Various plans (1870 and 1914), which provided for a railway from Berlin via Bautzen and Rumburg to Vienna, were not supported by the Saxon government due to the intentional preferred transport-related development of Dresden. This and the fact that the railway line is already far ahead of Bautzen branches in Bischofswerda to Zittau, prevented that ever evolved Bautzen an important railway junction.

In 1877 the branch line was taken to Bad Schandau in operation. In this context, the station building was expanded.
