The station Altenbeken is an island station in the municipality Altenbeken in Paderborn district . Due to its location on the railway lines from the Ruhr area to Warburg – Kassel as well as to Holzminden – Kreiensen , Hanover and Herford , the station is of great importance as a junction for local and long-distance passenger transport , but this is increasing due to restrictions in the ICE - / IC - Traffic on the so-called Central Germany connection .
history
The Paderborn - Warburg rail link via Altenbeken was initially opened in 1853 without a station.
The station building itself was completed on October 1st, 1864 and put into operation together with the completion of the Rehberg tunnel . The branch to Holzminden after the train station was opened in 1864. On December 20, 1901, a serious railway accident occurred in front of the station when a passenger train drove onto the damaged D 31 to Berlin .
At the Deutsche Reichsbahn the station belonged to the Reichsbahndirektion Kassel , later to the Bundesbahndirektion (BD) Kassel, after its dissolution to the BD Hannover . The Herford route has only been served by local transport since the 1980s . Former express and express trains from Osnabrück , Bielefeld or Bremen via Kassel and Bebra to southern Germany have been gradually eliminated. On the Herford route, spas such as -Salzuflen or -Meinberg were connected to Munich with an express train during the day and as a night train , and some of the express trains were hedged express trains ; After the border was opened, Halle / Saale was temporarily listed in the course books via Nordhausen without changing trains to Cologne . Most recently, the line "Der Cherusker" to Osnabrück - Bad Bentheim was canceled . Beyond Herford there are only transfer connections. Through trains to Bielefeld run from Lage via the Begatalbahn and Oerlinghausen . The route to Hanover has been served by the Hanover S-Bahn since 2000 . Intercity trains also stop at Altenbeken station , and individual ICE T trains did so until December 2007 . Since the timetable change in December 2010, two pairs of ICE trains have been running between Düsseldorf and Dresden and Darmstadt and Munich . In both cases the next stop is Warburg (Westf) or Paderborn Hbf .
Because of Altenbeken's importance for rail traffic, the ICE-T power head 415 003 was christened "Altenbeken" on July 11, 2003. Altenbeken is probably one of the smallest places mentioned in the list of ICEs named after municipalities . On July 4, 2015, the railcar 425 050 of the Hanover S-Bahn was christened Altenbeken.
Operating facilities
The station has ten platform tracks with a length of 140 to 403 meters and platform heights of 38 and 76 centimeters. With track 200, which enables a direct connection between the lines from Hanover or Herford and the main line in the direction of Warburg – Kassel, the station has formed a track triangle since May 30, 1958 . The Altenbekener platform systems are not approached by this track; it is usually only used by freight traffic.
Altenbeken station is an island station , the reception building can only be reached through underpasses . A total of four lines leave the station in an easterly direction, towards Paderborn the line leads west over the Altenbeken Viaduct . Because of this route, the station is also known as the “five-finger station”.
The dispatcher interlocking Altenbeken Af , a relay interlocking the type SpDrS59, was put into operation on 1 December 1963, replacing five mechanical interlockings. The relay interlocking was decommissioned on April 1, 2019. Since April 5, 2019, the Altenbeken station, together with the neighboring operating points Langeland and Himmighausen, has been operated by the electronic signal box (ESTW) "Hzf" located in Hamm / W. controlled.
At the exit to the village there is a memorial stone that commemorates the 125th anniversary of the station; there is also the bus stop and a mobility station where pedelecs and electric cars can be rented and charged.
electrification
On December 11, 1970, the electrification of the Kassel – Hamm line was completed and the first electric locomotive was able to reach Altenbeken station. The Altenbeken – Hanover route followed on May 21, 1971 . Except for the connections in the direction of Höxter and Kreiensen , all routes are now electrified.
meaning
Altenbeken station has been of great importance as a transfer station since the construction of the first branching line. The first German express train, the D 31/32 between Cologne and Berlin , has stopped in Altenbeken since its introduction on May 1, 1892.
The earlier importance for north-south long-distance traffic and freight traffic has now been lost. With the exception of the long-distance trains in the north-south direction, which at times over the bypass curve, all trains stopped in Altenbeken.
Continuous local transport connections from the eastern routes via Altenbeken to Paderborn and restrictions in long-distance transport have reduced the importance of the station. The station is still important as a transfer point between the lines from Hanover and Herford, as the Himmighausen station (city of Nieheim ), east of the Rehberg tunnel , which is much more convenient for this, was closed to passenger traffic in May 1989 and demolished.
Altenbeken station is of considerable importance as a long-distance station for the region, especially for the semicircle to the east. It is served by 6 lines, whereby the main line Paderborn – Altenbeken branches into four different routes: Warburg – Kassel, Bad Driburg – Ottbergen, Steinheim – Hameln, Sandebeck – Lage. This gives it station category 3. Altenbeken used to be the smallest place in category 2. The closest long-distance stations are: Paderborn, Herford, Minden, Hanover, Hildesheim, Göttingen, Kassel, Warburg and Marburg. The two important lines ICE 41 and IC 50 stop here .
The integration into the local transport network Paderborn-Höxter ("Hochstift tariff") with later integration into the Westphalian tariff and the privatizations on the routes to Bielefeld ( eurobahn ), Holzminden ( NordWestBahn ) and Herford (eurobahn) had a positive effect .
