| Opened | 10 June 1866 |
Sangerhausen station is a station in the town of Sangerhausen in the district of Mansfeld-Südharz in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt. It was opened for passenger operations in 1866. It became a junction station in 1881 with the opening of the Sangerhausen–Erfurt railway. A new station building was built after the Second World War, which is now heritage-listed. In the past, it was served by long-distance traffic. Extensive modernisation of the platforms and buildings have taken place since 2014.
The station is located in the north of the town and almost a kilometre from the town centre. It is located at line kilometre 59.2 of the Halle–Hann. Münden railway and is the starting point of the line to Erfurt. It faces Lengefelder Straße and Kaltenborner Weg. The next station towards Halle is the halt (Haltepunkt) of Riestedt, towards Hann. Münden, it is Wallhausen station and on the line towards Erfurt, the first stop is at Oberröblingen station about five kilometres away.
Construction of the station in Sangerhausen began in 1865. The railway between Halle and Hann. Münden was opened for passenger operations on 10 July 1866. The first entrance building was built in the same year. Sangerhausen became a junction station in 1881 when the line to Erfurt was added. An ammunition train exploded in the station in 1944 and it was destroyed. Today's entrance building was built in 1963.
In 1979, there were three platforms in Sangerhäusen station. A total of 17 tracks were available. Their structural length was between 50 and 855 metres. In addition, five connecting tracks ran from the station to local factories. The shortest was 190 metres long and the longest was 149 metres.
