"Wooden concourse of a narrow-gauge railway, type construction of the Royal Saxon State Railways, as a document of the original route of the so-called beet train and as a type of this narrow gauge railway history important.
Historic monuments: In Saxony's most important sugar beet growing area, the few surviving certificates of the "Rübenbahn" are the main means of transport for both goods and people and a major temporary contributor to the region of great regional historical and railway historical importance. Here, the simple but high quality designed shelters at the stations, stops and stops - often accompanied by a discarded for the purposes of Bahnmeisterei car body - along with the few remaining engineering structures of the track as fragments along the meanwhile mined narrow gauge track the former route of the "Rübenbahn ". Together with the partially preserved loading tracks and ramps they clarify the purpose of the formerly longest and extremely important Saxon narrow gauge railway as goods and passenger transport route. As a type of construction on the route Wilsdruff-Gärtitz the waiting halls are also in addition to the historic railroad and a building-historical value. Especially the large number of preserved buildings impressively illustrates this constructive and creative standardization of a functional building. Although the buildings of the Royal Saxon State Railways were designed according to uniform construction standards and therefore also many station buildings within the Saxon Schmalspurnetzes are the same, there are route and regional typical solutions, such as the waiting shelters here. Half-timbered construction on bricked base, with brick infill and wood paneling, windows and doors new, later extension, otherwise original condition, design typical for the present narrow gauge line "
Along the former narrow-gauge railway line between Meißen Triebischtal and Lommatzsch (Lummsch), some of the simple rural station buildings have been preserved, including in Leutewitz. The railway was in operation from 1909 and was shut down in sections between 1966 and 1972. The line was the connecting line between the Wilsdruffer and the Mügeln narrow-gauge railway network, which opened up large parts of the central Saxon area.
