Fast train to Leipzig: Hoyerswerda becomes an important railway node!

Fast train to Leipzig: Hoyerswerda becomes an important railway node!

In an exciting development for cross -border rail traffic, the Polish state railway PKP and Deutsche Bahn test a new project that could create a valuable connection for many travelers from December 2025. The PKP tested in Hoyerswerda on Wednesday to measure the platform on the planned route between Breslau and Leipzig. This project was welcomed by Mirko Pink, the mayor for Hoyerswerda (CDU), as a great profit for connecting to Leipzig.

pink's vision of a faster connection continues: he firmly calculates that a express train will stop regularly in Hoyerswerda in the future. The new connection leads from Przemysl on the Ukrainian border via Krakow and Wrocław to Leipzig and is said to run twice a day. "A quick connection with a compacted bar would be a real advantage for the entire Lausitz region, especially in the context of structural change and search for skills," emphasized the mayor.

The reverberation in the region

also Kathrin Uhlemann, the non -party mayor of Niesky, sees the benefits of this initiative, even if the express train will drive through her city without a stop. However, she would like well -clocked regional trains to Hoyerswerda, since the conditions at the Niesky platform are not available for express trains.

The cross -border railway line meets more and more attention, and not least thanks to the considerations of the European Commission. This supports a total of ten pilot projects that aim to improve the cross -border rail connections. The action plan provides to double the connections by 2030 and even triple by 2050. The need to remove obstacles to rail traffic, which will benefit the traveler, is particularly emphasized.

A look at the future

The future connection that Hoyerswerda sees as a hub is part of a larger plan that is supposed to create additional connection options between large cities in the EU. Among other things, new routes from Munich to Budapest and Rome as well as other European metropolises such as Zurich and Milan are planned. This makes it clear that the trend towards cross -border transport network is progressing not only in Germany, but across Europe, and travelers can look forward to a growing network of rail connections - this is the way to a networked future.

An exciting time is about to take up the new rail connection between Poland and Germany. Travelers can be excited to see how the PKP and Deutsche Bahn plans will be concretized. It is important to wait and see which other options will result from this initiative.
