The breakpoint was opened on 01.04.1894 and initially bore the name Gohlis-Eutritzsch. However, the geometry of the plant was a completely different than today: both the Thuringian railway and the Magdeburg railway were designed double-railed, and all four tracks crossed today's Lützowstraße at ground level. In addition, the southern Gleispaar belonged to the Thuringian, the northern Gleispaar to Magdeburg railway.
Around 1905, the facilities were fundamentally rebuilt. As a result, the two bridges were built, each bridge was double-railed, and now the northern bridge was driven by the Thuringian, the southern of the Magdeburg Railway. The different bridge heights are owed to the further course of the routes: while the (higher) Magdeburg railway continues along a dam to Wahren, the (flatter) Thuringian railway lowers rapidly and already undercuts the following (ground-level) streets in a deep cut. Since the route of the Magdeburg Railway was now only used for freight, the new breakpoint was only on the tracks of the Thuringian Railway. On 01.06.1922 the breakpoint in Leipzig-Gohlis was renamed. After 1945, the second track on the route of the Magdeburg Railway was dismantled in connection with reparations to the Soviet Union.
