Plagwitz was a small town on the outskirts of Leipzig, first named in 1483. In 1891 it became part of Leipzig. From 1854 it was transformed into a industrial area, with many factories, canals and railroad tracks. After the Wende most of the old factories were closed. Now the area is slowly redeveloping.

Partly one-track and a very bumpy ride. The weak ground of the polder isn't good at supporting structures, road and railroads. At the Leiden end you pass the old goods station, with extra tracks and loading platforms. On the right you can see the extra tracks on the right.
