Chemnitz Süd station is a station in the city of Chemnitz in the German state of Saxony. The station used to have a greater significance in freight transport in particular; the station had three different names during its existence: until 31 January 1905: Altchemnitz from 1 February 1905: Chemnitz Süd from 1953: Karl-Marx-Stadt Süd from 1990: Chemnitz Süd The station was built with the Chemnitz–Adorf railway by the Chemnitz-Aue-Adorfer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft and opened in 1875. The station was not built during the building of the Chemnitz–Zwickau section of the Dresden–Werdau railway, opened in 1858. Since the CAAE was not allowed to build its line to Chemnitz station — from 1 May 1904 called Chemnitz Hauptbahnhof — a separate station was built in Altchemnitz. A link line was built for freight transport, but passengers had to walk about 2 km to Chemnitz station on foot, it was only after the nationalisation of the CAAE in the summer of 1876 that passenger trains were able to run to Chemnitz station.

The Stollberg–Chemnitz section of the Zwönitz–Chemnitz Süd railway, which opened on 1 October 1895 connected with the station and the station's traffic increased significantly. Since the numerous level crossings between the Chemnitz and Kappel stations were an ever-increasing obstacle to traffic, between 1903 and 1909 the route of the line was changed and parts of the line was lowered or raised. In this context, the old passenger platforms near line-kilometre 2.47 of the Chemnitz-Adorf railway were removed and new passenger infrastructure was built near line-kilometre 1.99. Since passenger trains on the Dresden-Werdau railway have stopped in Chemnitz Süd; as part of the reconstruction work, a new entrance building was built as a Keilbahnhof. Chemnitz South freight yard was established as an operating point on 1 June 1920 with the separation of the freight facility from the Chemnitz Süd station because the station's rail traffic had continued to increase. In 1924, the freight infrastructure was once again extensively expanded.

This resulted in the creation of a new freight shed with eight slanted terminal tracks called "teeth". At the end of the Second World War, large sections of the both the passenger and freight areas were destroyed in Allied air raids in 1945, including the goods sheds and the old entrance building; the new entrance building and the platforms were only damaged. After 40 years of operation, the two services were recombined in Karl-Marx-Stadt Süd station on 1 June 1960. Due to the economic impact of Die Wende and the associated decline in traffic, the significance of the station decreased, thus no rolling stock maintenance has been carried out since 1995 and the ticket office was closed in 1996. Numerous railway tracks were closed and dismantled; the entrance building now serves as a concert and events venue. It was listed for auctioning in the spring of 2013; the station had some factory sidings, but have been closed. Kurt Kaiß. Eisenbahnknoten Chemnitz – Schienennetz einer Industrieregion.

He studied economics and law. He started to work, he had worked in the research department of the University till 1967. Afterward he began to work in ministries: He went to the department of education, where he was working till his detention by the regime at 1978. During all these years of political activities he was imprisoned many times: 1964 by the King Zahir Shah's regime "because" of organizing and leading a massive manifestation of student and regular folks in Kabul. In 1969 he was arrested "because" of subversive political activities by the same system. In 1975 by the President Daud's regime, a conservative ruler supposed by the leftist, "because" of political resistance, in 1978 by the leftist regime of Muhammad Taraki. In 1978 he was arrested by the secret service of the Muhammad Taraki government, he was kept in solitary confinement at Pole-charkhi prison and had to undergo massive torture by the secret service of the regime and was murdered in prison by Hafizullah Amin in 1979. The scale of killings and torture for thousands of citizens was neglected by the global media at that time and ignored by regional governments and by Soviet Union and USA.

The killings by the regime of Amin was the focus of war crimes investigation led by Dutch police and prosecutors, the result was a death list, published by the Dutch prosecutor’s office on 17 September 2013 you could read names. His spouse Mrs Jamila Badakhshi and their children Walid Arsalan, Rudaba Nilab, Jawid Mazyar and Harun Rozbeh moved in 1985 to Germany and still live there. During these times he was close to a Kabul-based literature scene under the influence of Sufi poets Ghulam Dehqan and Khalilullah Khalili, he began contacting a broad circle of urban intellectuals with activities in the field of culture and politics. He was connected in long lasting friendship to the avant-garde intellectuals like the university professor, linguist Wasef Bakhtari and the novelist and historian Azam Rahnaward Zariab, who were the primary sources of the contemporary poetics and fiction of Persian literature in Afghanistan, he was involved and proactive in literary and intellectual circles of Kabul.

He was a co-ordinator of the first congress of People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan, the first main leftist democratic party in Afghanistan. He left the party in 1967 after the membership of Hafizullah Amin who had a suspected prehistory of ethno-centric chauvinist activities in the south of the country and returned from the United States, he arranged a circle named "Mahfele Entezar" movement and the "Revolutionary Organisation of Workers of Afghanistan" or SAZA Political movement, speaking out for the basic political rights for all citizens and for improvement of economic and educational conditions of the people. There has been little systematic and systemic research on core ideas and thoughts of Taher Badakhshi in recent years; the lack of serious academic studies on his legacy is remarkable. This epistemic void might be caused by different factors. You will find any university in the Western hemisphere performing systematic research on modernism in Afghanistan with the specific focus on the liberal, ideas of liberalism, the heterogeneous leftist movements there and, on the contextualization of the relevant events since 1945 till end of the century.

This obvious research gap of academic institutions in the Western hemisphere seems to be the real world insight of the protagonist and experts when it comes to the pivotal and formative years between 1955 and 1975. On has to express the amazement why Western academia has been neglecting the real world dynamics of the intellectual history of the liberal, ideas of liberalism, the heterogeneous leftist movements in Afghanistan. There has been founded a "Taher Badakhshi Institute" to cover up a significant epistemic gap in research on of the liberal, ideas of liberalism, the heterogeneous leftist movements in Afghanistan; the institute has gathered a significant body of evidence, including the political memories of Taher Badakhshi and most significant writings and will consecutively publish them in order to create a new field of research on a specific version of modernisms in Afghanistan. The research, so the scholars of the institute, will be designed, "to measure the real world outcome on four levels.

First level will contain relevant general statements and targeted and specific inform

Named after him is Sacks forcing, a forcing notion based on perfect sets and the Sacks Density Theorem, which asserts that the partial order of the recursively enumerable Turing degrees is dense. Sacks had a joint appointment as a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and at Harvard University starting in 1972 and became emeritus at M. I. T. in 2006 and at Harvard in 2012. Sacks was born in Brooklyn in 1933, he earned his Ph. D. in 1961 from Cornell University under the direction of J. Barkley Rosser, with a dissertation entitled On Suborderings of Degrees of Recursive Insolvability.
