"The celebration of the opening of the journey on the line Žďár - Tišnov took place on Sunday of this year [25 June 1905] in Bystřice nad Pernštejnem in a dignified manner. The town was richly decorated with banners, and in the morning the booths; at about nine o'clock the town council, the local associations and a motley crowd of the public from the place and the surrounding area lined up, and with music in the lead, went to the station to welcome the dear guests, most of them natives of Bystřice who live outside their birthplace, to visit us, to rejoice with us that the railway so long and so eagerly awaited was finally completed." (Moravská orlice 43, 1905, No. 146, 29 June) The first plans for a railway line that could connect Vienna, Brno and Prague and pass through the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands were presented by Karel Ghega in 1842 in the service of the Northern Railway of Emperor Ferdinand. In the following decade, the question of a railway between Brno and today's Havlíčkův Brod was addressed by Baron Oskar Lazarini, whose proposals for a railway link were also not implemented. The following attempt to connect Brno and Havlíčkův Brod, including five variants of lines, was presented in 1868. Changes came after 1880, when a law was passed encouraging the creation of local railways, which reduced the demands on technical parameters and thus the economic demands of railway projects. As a result, construction of the line from Brno to Tišnov began in 1884, but its further extension was delayed due to competing interests. The question of a railway connection between Tišnov, Bystřice nad Pernštejnem, Nové Město na Moravě and Žďár nad Sázavou, which was to follow the already existing railway line from Havlíčkův Brod, was not discussed again until the end of the 19th century. The final project of this long-delayed railway section was approved in 1901 and the following year a concession for construction work and operation was granted to the joint-stock company Local Railway Nemecký Brod - Žďár, which was founded at the end of the 19th century by municipalities and entrepreneurs interested in the implementation of the railway link. The construction was awarded to a private construction company of the experienced designer Osvald Životský from Tišnov, who had already been involved in the construction of several hundred kilometres of railways throughout Austria-Hungary. The line between Tišnov and Žďár nad Sázavou was completed very quickly, within two years, and operation began on 25 June 1905 under the administration of the C.C. State Railways. Six new stations were built on this railway line - in Nové Město na Moravě, Rozsochy, Bystřice nad Pernštejnem, Rožná, Nedvědice and Doubravník, six stops and a freight yard for the paper mill in Prudká. The Nedvědice municipal council disagreed with the proposed location of the station on the road to Tišnov and demanded that it be moved towards the town. The Austro-Hungarian Ministry of Railways accepted this change, but did not grant the request of Count Vladimir Mittrowski to establish another station at Pernštejn Castle. Other objections concerned the size of the waiting room, which seemed insufficient because passengers from thirty neighbouring villages were to come to Nedvědice, and there were also a large number of guests in the summer months. It was proposed that a second-class waiting room should be built. The Nedvědice station included a station building with a veranda and an adjacent warehouse, an adjacent building with separate toilets, laundry and accommodation for railway employees, a well, a waste pit and a railway bridge weighbridge. The typical urban design features of some stations on this line also included parkland, while the non-wedding station also contained a railway bridge weighbridge. For the station building at Nedvědice, the typified model of railway ground structures designated 200/H was chosen, which was used for small stations on the local lines of the Austrian railways. The architectural form of the building was based on the standard designs of the Austrian Railways Directorate and the applicable standards for railway ground structures. The stations in Doubravník, Rozsochách and Rožná were also built according to the same model; they differed only in the location of the porch, which was mirrored in Doubravník and Rožná. The builder František Brož from Ledec nad Sázavou, who was then employed by Životský Construction Company in Tišnov, participated in the construction of the Nedvědice station. He had cooperated with this entrepreneur earlier when he designed a representative villa in Luhačovice. The Nedvědice station was realized as a simple and functional ground-floor building with gable roofs and an open veranda platform, the roof of which was supported by a wooden structure. A wooden warehouse building was added to the opposite side of the building. The station building faced the railroad side with a three-bay gable; the perpendicular wing with a porch, parallel to the tracks, was also three-bay. The only architectural elements used on the façade were simple lysene frames, girded below the cornice with horizontal bands, window tracery and a stone plinth, while minimalist geometric ornamentation was applied to the wooden columns of the porch. The interior of the Nedvědice station contained a waiting room for passengers and an office for the railway staff, while the wing perpendicular to the tracks contained living quarters. Similar architectural solutions and details had already been used in smaller stations on local lines in Bohemia, such as in Rataj nad Sázavou, Ledč nad Sázavou and Vlastějovice, which were built by Životský's company at the end of the 19th century. The secondary building, situated on the west side of the station, was built according to the type model 13/H and was designed on a rectangular plan with a gable facing the track and a gable roof, its architectural elements were analogous to the station building. After two years of operation, Nedvědice station was extended by a warehouse with a ramp and a single track used for loading timber, while a third track was laid at the same time. The current appearance of the station building in Nedvědice has been influenced by building modifications and modernisations, the residential wing was added another floor in the past. Only the ground plan and the veranda in front of the waiting room remind the original architectural design.
