The Übach-Palenberg train station is a former train station and is now a stop in Übach-Palenberg on the southern tip of the Heinsberg district . It is located on the Aachen – Mönchengladbach railway on the western outskirts of Palenberg near the Wurm . Here keep Wupper Express and Rhein-Niers-Bahn . Its surroundings are presented today in the form that they received during the redesign and modernization in the 1990s and 2008. It belongs to station category 5.
history
On November 11, 1852, the section from Herzogenrath to Rheydt and a year later the complete Aachen-Düsseldorf railway line was inaugurated by the Aachen-Düsseldorf-Ruhrort Railway Company . At that time Palenberg did not have its own train station. It has not yet been possible to determine the exact year the first station was built. It is not yet mentioned in the statistics of 1861, but in 1881 in the official gazette (special trains on the occasion of the Aachen sanctuary trip) Palenberg is referred to as a stopping point. During this time, a train station and station building must have been built on the western outskirts of Palenberg. At that time Palenberg was only a small hamlet and, with Bersitten, still belonged to the independent municipality of Frelenberg at the time. In 1912 the Carolus Magnus pit was given a siding and a new wooden reception building was built on the site of today's park-and-ride car park , which was created in the 1990s . After Palenberg and the train station became part of the new municipality of Übach-Palenberg in 1935, a year later a new station building was built on the eastern side for the train station now renamed Übach-Palenberg . This building was expanded in 2002 and converted into a youth and senior center.
With the closure of the Carolus Magnus mine in 1962, the station lost much of its importance.
In 2000, work began on the complete redesign of the station area. The reception building was expanded into a senior citizens' center, with new rooms for a youth center being built right next to it. Since 2002, senior citizens and young people have been meeting in the former station building, and since 2008 it has also been declared a multi-generation house .
In November 2007 the switch connections were cut, the third track and the Üf signal box were abandoned. The station was converted into a stop. These reconstruction measures were carried out with the connection of the section between Übach-Palenberg and Rheydt Hbf to the electronic signal box (ESTW) Grevenbroich . In 2009, renovation work began in which the platforms were provided with barrier-free access. The no longer usable, but still existing third track was dismantled as part of this work. On August 16, 2010, the newly designed platforms were ready for use. Thanks to the spacious park-and-ride facilities on the west and east side of the station, there is a combination of car and train or bike and train e.g. B. for commuters. You can also rent lockable bicycle storage boxes for a fee.
