The Arnsberg (Westf) station was built in Arnsberg with the construction of the Upper Ruhr Valley Railway in 1870/71. The building itself was built in the neo-renaissance style in 1869 . The station is still used today for passenger traffic. There are also rooms in the building for various social groups and institutions.
In addition to the systems that still exist today, there was a main workshop , a railway depot , a railway telegraph office and a customs office at Arnsberg station .
history
The construction of the station was preceded by considerable disputes within the city and with the railway authorities about the location. Tax council Emmerich and others called for the construction of today's Jägerbrücke near the old town. For reasons of cost, this was rejected by the railway authorities. The station was now built at the exit of the Schlossberg tunnel and below the Lüsenberg. At that time, the station was far outside the urban development. On May 1, 1908, the station was given the addition "(Westf.)".
passenger traffic
The station consists of the central main building as well as an annex building with two floors and an auxiliary building with one floor. The central building was built in the neo-renaissance style according to plans by the architect Rauh from Elberfeld . Hardly anything has been preserved from the original facade design. Originally the plastered surfaces were provided with a scratched imitation of cuboids and the corners were highlighted.
On March 12, 1945, the station was badly damaged in a bomb attack, but then rebuilt.
Freight transport
The station was not subject to any restrictions with regard to its clearance powers. A crane , head and side ramps as well as a 40 t track scale were available for handling goods . Because the difficult traffic conditions between the Ruhrwerke (today Reno de Medici ) and the Arnsberg train station endangered the existence of the plant after the First World War, in 1921, against the resistance of citizens, a rail connection was built over today's streets Zur Feldmühle and Clemens-August- Road from the factory to the train station. A fireless steam locomotive was used. In 1960 operations on the line were stopped. One of the locomotives stands at the main gate of the factory as a souvenir. Another is in the DampfLandLeute Museum in Eslohe .
The total freight traffic was stopped in 1976. A few years later, however, another container terminal was built. Occasionally, like after Hurricane Kyrill in 2007, the station was also used to load storm timber.
Main workshop
In 1870 the state railway set up a main workshop for locomotives and cars, which developed into one of the city's most important employers. In the course of centralization and rationalization measures, the Deutsche Reichsbahn- Gesellschaft closed the main workshop in 1926 (other sources: 1927). The maintenance tasks went to the repair works Schwerte (Ruhr) and Wedau .
Depot
The Arnsberg railway depot was only of regional importance and had a small number of locomotives made up of Prussian T 12 , G 10 and P 8 locomotives .
Organizationally, the depot belonged to the machine office in Altena (Westphalia), the official abbreviation was "Ar". In 1941 the works had 130 employees. In 1953 the depot was dissolved as an independent office. The facilities were used as a branch of the Bestwig depot for some time.
Condition and development
The station building is now a listed building . The station and the area around the station were redesigned as part of the “Urban Redevelopment West” funding program. The aim was to strengthen the train station as a traffic junction and to emphasize its function as an entrance gate to the city. At the same time, the station apron facing the city was provided with Park & Ride areas. These are also intended for the area behind the train station that is accessible by an underpass . The industrial area on the site of the former main railway workshop will be connected to the trunk road network by a new bridge and will be further developed overall.
The city of Arnsberg has owned the station building since 2004 . Known as the “Citizens' Station”, it has rooms for events in addition to municipal offices such as the promotion of volunteering and private ticket sales. Various other social institutions, self-help groups and associations can be found in a side wing.
The station and the area around the station were fundamentally redesigned by August 2011. Since then, the reception building has been presented in white; before that, the facade was ocher with a white ledge. The fire department museum of the city of Arnsberg has been housed in the former train station joinery, which was converted for this purpose . The “House of History” project as an exhibition and communication center is subsidized by the NRW Foundation , among others .
The railway technical systems remained in the possession of Deutsche Bahn and were renovated as part of the modernization offensive 2 of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The platforms have been barrier-free since November 6, 2015 , including an elevator system.
