    The station reception building is considered a monument and is now used as a medical center. On the right side of the building there is a memorial plaque for Zacharias von Lingenthal, the founder of the Cottbus-Großenhainer railway.
    From the station Ortrand one arrives to Hoyerswerda, Dresden and Cottbus.

    Hiking

    Ortrand train station for passenger traffic, with station reception building, Ortrand Cultural Station, memorial plaque to Dr. Zachariae von Lingenthal, etc.

    Info:

    The town of Ortrand owes its connection to the railway network primarily to the initiatives of Karl Eduard Zachariae von Lingenthal. The Cottbus-Großenhain Railway Company was founded in Ortrand in 1865, and the groundbreaking ceremony for construction began on November 11, 1868. The most striking building is the station reception building, a two-story brick structure.

    Also possible: Overnight stay in a converted railway carriage located at the Cultural Station.
