60 Bahnhof in Themar

Themar’s train station is a historic site that plays a key role in the economic and tourism development of the region.

The railway line from Ilmenau to Schleusingen, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2004, had a profound impact on the surrounding towns.

This railway line, opened in 1888, helped bring economic prosperity to the Thuringian Forest, facilitating quicker and more affordable transportation of raw materials and products, particularly for the growing glass industry.

The construction of the railway line, especially the section between Schleusingen and Ilmenau, is considered a masterpiece of engineering.

It played a significant role in the growth of the towns along the route, particularly in terms of tourism, which led to a sharp increase in passenger traffic.

In recognition of the railway’s importance to the area, the Bahnhof Themar remains an iconic landmark for the region’s history.
