The Bad Honnef (Rhein) train station is a stop on the right Rhine route in Bad Honnef , a town in the North Rhine-Westphalian Rhein-Sieg district in Germany .

It was opened on July 11, 1870 as part of the extension of the railway line on the right bank of the Rhine from Neuwied to Oberkassel as a station under the name of Honnef (Rhine) . In the course of the commissioning of the electronic signal box on the right-hand Rhine route, the station was converted into a stopping point with an alternative connection point in August 2014 . It is listed in station category 5 by DB Station & Service AG .

Bad Honnef station is served by the RE 8 regional express line and the RB 27 regional train line in the direction of Cologne and Koblenz .

location

Today's stop is on the western edge of Bad Honnef between Lohfelder Straße ( Kreisstraße 28) in the west and August-Lepper-Straße and parallel federal highway 42 in the east, near the Rhine low arm in front of the Grafenwerth island .

To the south there is commercial space, to the north the Honnefer Kreuz bridge , which serves as a junction with the B 42 and opens up the bus stop for passengers. There is a park and ride car park at and below the bridge .

The stop has a central platform accessible through an underpass with stairs from the reception building on August-Lepper-Straße . The station building is two-storeyed with a single-storey wing leading to the underpass.

history

Like some of the neighboring stations , the original station building was kept in classicist forms, and the entrance was bordered by a wide flight of stairs . During their visits to Bad Honnef, the Swedish royal couple, Oskar and Sophie , were received at the train station in 1901. Opposite the station was a station hotel that was demolished at the latest after the Second World War . In 1957, in anticipation of the electrification of the railway line (1958) , the station was extensively changed, with the reception building losing its classicist style and the signal box being relocated to a smaller building south of the station. After Honnef received the official nickname Bad in 1960 , the station was renamed Bad Honnef (Rhine) in 1964/65 .

In 1999, Deutsche Bahn stopped the ticket office , which was initially operated by an agency and later closed. Around 2000, 1500 passengers frequented the station every day. For several years now, the station building, which no longer has a station restaurant, has served as the headquarters of a passenger transport company . In 2011, Deutsche Bahn sold it to the company. The new owner plans to demolish and rebuild the station building in the long term. The station forecourt was expanded in two construction phases in 2011/12, removing the previous cobblestones and equipped with a barrier-free bus stop.

Efforts have recently been made to upgrade the station and to open a kiosk with ticket sales for regional traffic and a post office. In the long term, the city plans to give up the previous station location in favor of a new stop at the level of the terminus of the light rail ( Siebengebirgsbahn ) (status: 2016).
