Bogatynia Wschodnia (German: Markersdorf bei Reichenau) was a railway station on the Zittau–Heřmanice railway in the Markocice district of Bogatynia, Zgorzelec County, within the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in south-western Poland.

History

The station was opened by Royal Saxon State Railways on 11 November 1884 as Markersdorf part of the Zittau–Heřmanice railway. The station was renamed to Markersdorf bei Reichenau in 1902, and then to Markersdorf bei Reichenau (Sachsen) for designation in 1917.[1]

After World War II, the area came under Polish administration. As a result, the station was taken over by Polish State Railways, and was renamed to Myśleszów, and later to its modern name, Bogatynia Wschodnia, in 1947.[1]

Polish State Railways resumed passenger services on 20 May 1951[2] between Sieniawka and Markocice.[3] The station closed on 30 June 1961.[2]
