Inaugurated in 1839 as the terminus of the Leipzig–Dresden railway, the Leipziger Bahnhof was the first station in Dresden.
The rapid growth of traffic and connections to the newly built railway lines made major expansions and renovations and the construction of new buildings necessary in the first decades after its opening.
In 1901, the newly built Dresden-Neustadt station took over passenger traffic from the Leipziger Bahnhof.
Most of its tracks continued to be used for the Dresden-Neustadt freight yard and some are still used.
