Chocianów (German: Kotzenau) is a railway station in the town of Chocianów, Polkowice County, within the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in south-western Poland.

History

Station building prior to the station's re-opening

The station originally opened on 1 October 1890 as Kotzenau. 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 Chocianów.[1]

In 1917, the Lubin–Chocianów railway was extended to the station. The line was closed in 1987 and later dismantled in 1992.[2]

By 2002, the whole Złotoryja–Rokitki railway was closed.[3] On 11 December 2022, the station re-opened with the Złotoryja–Rokitki railway between Chojnów and Rokitki.[4]
