Wrocław Nadodrze is a railway station in Wrocław, Poland. The station was established in 1868 according to a design by Hermann Grapow.[1] The station is located on railway line no. 143,[2] connecting Kalety and Wrocław Popowice, near Powstańców Wielkopolskich Square in the Nadodrze district. It serves as an important station within the Lower Silesian Metropolitan Railway and for intra-city transport.
History
[edit]The Wrocław Nadodrze Station, opened on May 28, 1868,[3] initially connected Wrocław to Oleśnica via Psie Pole, with the full Wrocław–Fosowskie route launched later that year. Built by the Opole-Tarnowskie Góry Railway, it was first named Rechte-Oder-Ufer-Thorbahnhof and later Breslau Odertor.
After World War II, in July 1945, it became Wrocław's first operational station for eastern trains. The city's first post-war tram line connected the station to Biskupin, a route still active today.
Station Building
[edit]
The Wrocław Nadodrze station, built from unplastered red brick, spans 190 meters and reflects the historicist styles popular in 1860s Germany. The three-story structure features three projections, with the central one rising four stories and fronted by an arched portico. Modernization began in 1912 and was completed in the 1920s, updating tunnels, platforms, and freight facilities.
The station serves regional and long-distance passenger trains from operators like PKP Intercity, Polregio, and Koleje Dolnośląskie. Staszica Square, in front of the station, hosts bus terminals connecting northern towns, functioning as a smaller secondary bus hub.
Until 1950, the nearby narrow-gauge railway station (Wrocław Wąskotorowy) linked to Trzebnica, but this line and its stations were gradually closed by the 1960s.
In 2009, the station building was transferred from PKP to the Lower Silesian Voivodeship Marshal's Office.[4] It was then handed over to the regional branch of the Przewozy Regionalne company for use as a future headquarters[4].[5]
Since 2022, the owner of Wrocław Nadodrze station is DL Invest Group, which plans to modernize the building. The station will continue to function as a railway station, with additional office, dining, and retail spaces.[6]
Passenger Traffic
[edit]The station serves trains of nearly all categories from most passenger carriers in Lower Silesia, including PKP InterCity, Polregio, and Koleje Dolnośląskie. Intercity, express, and local trains stop at the station. It offers connections to the following agglomeration railway stations: Wrocław Główny, Bierutów, Kluczbork, Krotoszyn, Oleśnica, Ostrów Wielkopolski, Trzebnica, and Jelcz-Laskowice.[7]

„Solange von der Heydt Handelsminister war, hatte es die staatliche Verwaltung der Oberschlesischen Bahn relativ leicht. mögliche Konkurrenten von ihrem Territorium fernzuhalten. Im Jahr 1856 war zwar auf dem rechten Oderufer mit der Oppeln-Tarnowitzer Eisenbahn eine neue Bahngesellschaft in Oberschlesien konzessioniert worden. aber solange die Bahn nicht über Tarnowitz hinaus in das Revier sowie nach Norden bis Breslau verlängert wurde, war die Oppeln-Tamowitzer Bahn nicht mehr als eine Stichbahn am Rand des Territorium der Oberschlesischen Bahn, die keine ernsthafte Konkurrenz darstellte. Damit es dazu gar nicht erst kam. hatte die Oberschlesische Bahn vorgesorgt. Seit 1856 bemühte sich die Gesellschaft um die Konzession fuer eine Verbindung des oberschlesischen Reviers mit Breslau auf dem rechten Oderufer, um unter der Voraussetzung des Schutzes gegen Streckenkonkurrenz ihr Territorium gegen mögliche Konkurrenten zu schützen"
