The Nossen – Moldava v Krušných horách railway is a branch line in Saxony that was originally built and operated as a main line by the Leipzig-Dresden Railway Company (LDE) as part of a supra-regional connection from central Saxony to Prague. The Royal Saxon State Railways carried them under the line abbreviation NM, which is the basis for the kilometering to this day. The section from Nossen via Freiberg to Holzhau is still in operation today. The further route to Moldava in the Czech Republic was shut down in sections between 1945 and 1972. The northern section from Nossen to Freiberg is also known as the Zellwaldbahn, the southern section from Freiberg to Holzhau is known as the Freiberger Muldentalbahn.

The decision to build the once continuous line Nossen Freiberg - Brüx is closely linked to the development in the south and north
industry located in the central Erzgebirge. Around
Freiberg and Chemnitz the demand for coal increased so much that it
from the relatively low volume in the Zwickau - Oelsnitzer
The hard coal mining area could not be fully covered. But there were sufficiently large quantities of brown coal stored in the Bohemian Basin near Teplitz, Dux and Brüx. But these were not available
The Erzgebirge ridge was not yet accessible by railway
The Leipzig - Dresden Railway Company took over on
December 1, 1873, the construction of the connecting railway from Freiberg. Construction began on the Bohemian side around the same time.
On November 2nd, 1875, the Freiberg-Mulda line (14.3 km) was put into operation and on August 16th, 1876 the opening of
Mulda to Bienenmühle.
In May 1884, the continuation of the construction of the railway from Bienenmühle to Moldova began.

The cross-border one
The railway line opened on May 18, 1885.
At the time of the heaviest traffic, 10 trains ran daily, pulled by 3
Locomotives (leader and push locomotive), with 45 wagons, each with a loading weight of 10 tons or more.
On May 8, 1945, train traffic between Moldava and Hermsdorf-Rehefeld was stopped.
The last train was dispatched on Monday, February 7, 1972 at 3:14 p.m. Since then, trains have only run to Holzhau or Moldava.
