On December 15th 2002 a new train station opened its doors. This was not just any station. This was Wien Kaiserebersdorf station built on the grounds of the former Altes Bahnhofsgebäude Klein-Schwechat. The Altes Bahnhofsgebäude Klein-Schwechat had a long and storied history. It all began on May 3rd 1872. The Altes Bahnhofsgebäude Klein-Schwechat was born with the opening of the Donauländebahn railway line. The station changed hands a couple of times before becoming part of the Imperial Royal Austrian State Railways in 1909. The Altes Bahnhofsgebäude Klein-Schwechat was more than just a station. It was a gateway connecting Vienna to the outside world. The coming of the Flughafen-Schnellbahn (S7) in the 1990s brought significant changes. The original plan was to close Altes Bahnhofsgebäude Klein-Schwechat completely. The local community rallied together. They protested the closure ensuring a new station was built nearby. This station is what we now know as Wien Kaiserebersdorf. Though not in its original location, the spirit of Altes Bahnhofsgebäude Klein-Schwechat lives on. It is a testament to the power of community and a reminder of the ever-changing urban landscape.
