Eisenach West station

Eisenach West station is a halt on the Halle–Bebra railway in the town of Eisenach in the German state of Thuringia.

The halt of Eisenach-West was opened on 1 August 1893 at the urging of the Eisenacher Kammgarnspinnerei, at that time the largest industrial enterprise in the city, in the immediate vicinity of the main western entrance to the company premises. The Eisenacher Elektrizitätswerk, the operator of the Eisenach Tramways, established the terminus of its Weststadt-Linie at this convenient location, about 2.2 km west of its main station. The streets leading west and north were built by the municipal administration from 1900 onwards for the construction of tenements for industrial workers and therefore the West station was the heart of a newly developed suburban area north of the spinning mill.
