Löbau (Sachs) station is the station of the town of Löbau in Upper Lusatia. It is located on the double-track main line between Görlitz and Dresden and served as the starting point for several branch lines. Löbau station was once a regional railway junction and offered connections to international passenger traffic. Today, only passenger trains run on the Görlitz–Dresden main line, stopping in Löbau. Passenger service on the branch lines has been discontinued. National and international long-distance services have also been reduced over the years and finally abandoned completely in 2004. From the beginning of the 2012 State Garden Show until its discontinuation on March 1, 2015, and since its resumption on December 13, 2015, the three daily cross-border regional express train pairs of the Dresden-Wrocław Express have stopped in Löbau.The station was opened in 1846 and for several months formed the eastern terminus of the Dresden–Görlitz railway line. By the turn of the century, the lines to Zittau, Ebersbach, and Weißenberg had been built. One of the last new lines to be built in Saxony was the branch line from Großpostwitz in the west, which joined the line in 1928. Between the two world wars, the station reached its maximum expansion. Due to the decline in traffic following the political change in eastern Germany, the station's facilities were reduced to a few tracks.

Something really needs to be done here. Such a beautiful building should be saved.
