Pieńsk (German: Penzig) is a railway station in the town of Pieńsk, Zgorzelec County, within the Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.
History
The station opened on 15 November 1846 as Penzig (Oberlausitz).[1] After World War II, the area past the Lusatian Neisse and Oder rivers came under Polish administration. As a result, the station was taken over by Polish State Railways and was renamed to Pieńsk.
Numerous railway sidings once branched off from the station directly into glassworks. However, most of these sidings are now dismantled or abandoned. There are also remains of an old water tower, in the north-eastern part of the station.[2]
Electrification of the Węgliniec–Görlitz railway was completed in December 2019.[3]
