Kaiserbahnhof Halbe

Kaiserbahnhof Halbe is a railway station located in Halbe, on the main line between Berlin, which begins at the Görlitzer railway station, to Cottbus in Brandenburg and on to Görlitz in Saxony. It was built during the reign of Kaiser Wilhelm I and used by his son Emperor Frederick III and his grandson Kaiser Wilhelm II between 1865 and 1912, when it as converted to offices and accommodation for railway workers. Having falling into disrepair in the 1990s it has now being restored to its 1865 state. Major works were completed in 2010, being the construction of a new roof and the restoration of two decorative towers at the north western and eastern corners of the building. In 2011, the first floor windows were repaired and all external brickwork repointed. In 2012, the ground floor windows and doors were restored with a start being made on the restoration of the large garden, to the south of the building. Since 2012 the restoration has been completed, with the 1865 building (the Altbau) having been fully restored. A new building to the north (the Neubau) has been built which is to house the kitchen, lavatories and ancillary facilities for the cafe's operation. The garden has been restored based on its 1865 design. The opening ceremony on 18 August 2019 was attended by Halbe's deputy mayor Michael Schnieke, the deputy New Zealand ambassador Alexandra Smithyman and guests which included more than 100 from New Zealand.
