expanded, with two annexes erected to the right and left of the existing building. The building now included a ticket office, a baggage handling office, a restaurant, a snackbar, an information desk and toilets. In addition, twelve railway apartments were spread over two floors. In 1985 the entrance building was painted for the last time in wine red and gold. As the building had increasingly decayed, it was first blocked off because of a risk of collapse and then it was demolished in 2007. The modern station Hohenstein-Ernstthal station now has three main through tracks. The third track still provides access for road–rail vehicles. The island platform is fully accessible, with lifts as well as with markings and tactile paving for the blind and visually impaired. The two platforms are 170 m long and 55 cm high. There are also a Mitteldeutsche Regiobahn partner agency (ticket office), a waiting room, a toilet, a store for travel necessities, parking lots and bicycle parking spaces in the station forecourt.
