You arrive here and you know: this isn't a station for those in a hurry. The regional express train chugs along like a pendulum between worlds, and the first thing anyone who gets off encounters is the Elsterwerda signal box. An angular block with a defiant roof, a crumbling facade, and the melancholy charm of forgotten years of service. The plaster peels like old stories, and a sign bearing the town's name still hangs below the windows, as if the building itself were saying: "I am here. And I was already here when everything else was still coming."
