The Vienenburg train station formed a railway junction in the northern Harz foreland , which is at least partially in place today. The station has one of the oldest reception buildings still in existence in Germany today . It belongs to station category 5.
location
It is located just a few meters north of the center of Vienenburg , a district of Goslar , near the small river Radau . To the north of the station area is the Vienenburger See , and a little further to the northwest rises the Harly-Wald ridge .
Today the station is located at the intersection of the Braunschweig – Bad Harzburg , Heudeber-Danstedt – Bad Harzburg / Vienenburg and Vienenburg – Goslar railway lines .
Today the former routes to Wasserleben (and on via Halberstadt to Halle / Saale ) and to Langelsheim are closed .
history
The by then Braunschweiger Hauptbahnhof initially until Wolfenbüttel leading Duchy of Brunswick State Railway to the work began on August 1, 1837 was the first railway line in the Duchy . The line was continued via Börßum , Schladen and Vienenburg to Bad Harzburg and put into operation on December 1, 1838. Simultaneously with the laying of the tracks took place, the construction of the track situated on railway stations with their reception buildings . Until 1967 the station was an island station , which is only partially recognizable today.
description
Reception building
The reception building, built between 1838 and 1840, consists of an elongated, almost rectangular structure (the central wing is set back slightly in the building line ) with two full storeys and a tiled hipped roof . The stone building has 13 window axes and central doorways on both sides on the ground floor , through which access leads from the station forecourt via the waiting room to the house platform .
Next to the station building and the latter by a gear connected, is the building of the so-called Imperial Hall , where I. Wilhelm at the time, King of Prussia and in personal union I. German Emperor Wilhelm, stayed during his stay in Vienenburg on 15 August 1875th The hall can now be rented for celebrations.
The main building of the station houses a café , the local library , the tourist information and rooms of the railway museum . (Stand 2013)
Signal boxes
There used to be a total of six signal boxes in the vicinity of the station , almost all of which have now been demolished.
The T-shaped former dispatcher signal box Vmi from 1926 (later Vmf and finally Vof), which is located in the area of the former freight station and is empty today, should be emphasized.
From 1989 the work of the former interlocking was taken over by a new pushbutton interlocking west of the old reception building.
Track systems
In the Vienenburg area, the track systems describe an elongated arc from southwest to east, which circles the center of the village.
The station now has three through tracks , one of which is on the main platform and the other two are on both sides of the central platform , which can be reached via a bridge. The third station track was rebuilt in 1996 with the commissioning of the line to Ilsenburg after it had been removed a few years earlier.
Other former marshalling and stabling on the southeast side of the reception building are used by the local railway museum. There is no longer a connection to the main tracks of the station, the corresponding switch in the east head has been expanded.
Immediately south of the passenger station, the single-track lines to Goslar and Bad Harzburg fork. A siding branches off from the latter in the far south of the station.
The routes to Braunschweig (double-track) and Halberstadt (single-track) branch out not far from the former freight station, around 1.7 kilometers east of the main building under the A 36 motorway bridge .
Passenger system
In 2016, a passenger system was put into operation on tracks 1 and 2 , which enables the trains of the RB 42 and 43 to run in wing train operation . For this purpose, at the level of the pedestrian bridge, on both tracks in the north direction, train cover signals were installed. The coupling of the individual parts of the train in the direction of Braunschweig usually takes place in track 1, while track 2 is used at about the same time to separate the opposing trains traveling in the direction of Harz.
Track 3 was not adapted because the southern turnout apron of Vienenburg does not allow direct train journeys from this track in the direction of Bad Harzburg.
Transport links
Regional traffic
Trains from erixx and Abellio Mitteldeutschland stop at Vienenburg station . Since December 13, 2015, only diesel multiple units of the series 622 , 640 and 648 have been used.
From Friday to Sunday there has been a long-distance connection to Potsdam and Berlin with the Harz-Berlin-Express since December 11, 2005 .
The trains of the RB 42 and 43 run between Braunschweig and Vienenburg as a common train set. In Vienenburg, the parts of the train going in the direction of Harz are separated, with the front railcar usually continuing as the RB 43 to Goslar, while the rear part of the train ends as the RB 42 in Bad Harzburg. In the opposite direction, in Vienenburg, the part of the train coming from Goslar is coupled to the railcar that had previously driven in from Bad Harzburg.

modernization
Extensive construction work has been taking place in Vienenburg since March 2014 as part of the “Lower Saxony is on the train II” (NIAZ II) program. This included the construction of two elevators, the elevation of the platform edges to 55 centimeters, the construction of the new lighting system at the station as well as the construction of two weather shelters and the assembly of waste bins, clocks and information boxes. The modernization cost around 2.7 million euros and was paid for by the Deutsche Bahn , the state and the Zweckverband Großraum Braunschweig (ZGB) , among others .
