Lenzburg Stadt railway station
Lenzburg Stadt railway station (German: Bahnhof Lenzburg Stadt) was a railway station in Lenzburg in the Swiss canton of Aargau.[2] It was located at the station square (German: Seetalplatz) in Bahnhofstrasse . The station was opened in 1895 by Schweizerische Seethalbahn Aktiengesellschaft, on the Seetal line to Wildegg. The station building by Emil Vogt[1] had a small restaurant. By 1910, the line was electrified. The station (and line) were nationalized by Swiss Federal Railways in 1922. The present-day Malagarain street is built on some of the right of way. Trains from Lenzburg Stadt to Lenzburg had to reverse at "Lenzburg Spitzkehre".[3] Towards Wildegg, the line passed through a small, now pedestrian, tunnel in the railway embankment.[4][5] ClosureWith the opening of the Heitersberg railway line in 1975, service from Lenzburg station further improved and Lenzburg Stadt was less used.[6] Passenger service ended on 2 June 1984 and installations were gradually dismantled. The station building was destroyed in 2003.[1][2] Cargo traffic continued to spring 2005 for UFA AG , a Fenaco subsidiary, who opposed the closure of the line.[7] After the tracks were removed, a covered bypass road (Kerntangente) was built on the land. The (former) building remained in the canton's building inventory until 2017.[1] A house across the tracks of the former station still exists in 2021.[2] Gallery
