Sieniawka (Lower Silesian Voivodeship)

Sieniawka (German: Kleinschönau) was a railway station on the Zittau–Heřmanice railway in the village of Sieniawka, 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 Kleinschönau part of the Zittau–Heřmanice railway.[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 Sieniawka. The station was renamed once again to Łąki in 1951, which was reverted the following year[2]

Polish State Railways resumed passenger services on 20 May 1951[3] between this station (serving as a terminus) and Markocice.[4] Prior to 1945, services continued west into Zittau. The station closed on 30 June 1961.[3]
