Chemnitz Central Station: Wart area remains dream - construction work is quiet!
Chemnitz Central Station: Wart area remains dream - construction work is quiet!
In Chemnitz Central Station there is currently a surprising discrepancy between the high expectations of Deutsche Bahn (DB) and the reality on site. Where a new waiting area should be created, passengers only find a closed area - no construction work has started so far. The DB generously advertises the new area with the promise that it should be completed by the summer of 2024.
The picture that offers travelers between the tracks 8 and 9 is anything but inviting. Where promising slogans such as "more beautiful, more convenient, to feel good" are rather unsightly signs of decay. Tauben droppings stick on walls and some travelers seem to throw their trash about the barrier. The positive representation on the posters is in a blatant contrast to the dirty reality.
uncertain future of the waiting area
The question of when the construction work will begin remains unanswered. In view of the predicament at the train station, which was aptly summarized by a train traveler with the comment "Nothing wonders at the train", the surprise is great among the travelers. Many express doubts as to whether the new waiting area will ever be created, because no movement is still visible after over months.
Another passer -by shows similar opinion: "It is embarrassing that the summer 2024 will be promoted while nothing happens." The passengers who hope for the completion of the waiting area have to be content with the only heated area of residence, which does not exactly offer much comfort and only has a few seats.
The situation for the DB is a real dilemma. As the reaction of passengers illustrates, the completion of the waiting area could have a significant upgrading of the main station, especially with regard to the upcoming Capital of Culture 2025. can.
Interestingly, there was a hot dog sales stand a few years ago on the site where the new waiting area is planned. After its closure, the area remained unused and has been waiting for sensible use since then. The faded shine of the former location reflects the burgeoning impatience of the passengers, who now hope for the ambitious plans of the DB, which have not yet been put into practice.For the passengers, only hope that the promises of Deutsche Bahn will soon be redeemed in order to give Chemnitz Central Station the urgently needed upswing. In the meantime, the question of the new waiting area remains unanswered, and the DB is at the pillory, while the lack of understanding of travelers is growing.
Overall, it can be seen that a large gap fell between the announcement and reality in Chemnitz Central Station. Further information on the project and its current status is currently not available, since the DB has not yet responded to a request on this topic. It remains to be seen how the situation continues, but one thing is certain: the patience of passengers is put to the test.
