The station Bad Laasphe (until 1999 Laasphe ) is a through station in North Rhine-Westphalia Bad Laasphe and is located at kilometer 52.8 of the Upper Lahn Valley Railway . It is located directly south of the B 62 .
history
The station was opened on April 2, 1883 after the construction of the line from Amalienhütte to Laasphe. Initially, Laasphe station was the operational and structural terminus of the line. Shortly after commissioning, the construction and operation of the Laasphe - Erndtebrück line was passed by law on May 21, 1883 . In December 1888 the section from Erndtebrück to Leimstruth was opened before the connection to Kreuztal and Siegen became possible for the first time with the opening of the section from Leimstruth to Feudingen on October 1, 1889 .
At the beginning, the station and the line belonged to the Bergisch-Märkischen-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft , but on March 28, 1882 these were assigned to the Prussian State Railways as part of the nationalization of the Royal Railway Directorate in Cassel . The Reichsbahn , which was founded by the State Treaty on April 1, 1920 , brought the station like the entire branch line Cölbe – Erndtebrück into the administrative area of the Reichsbahndirektion Elberfeld .
In 1940 there were eight pairs of trains running on weekdays and six on Sundays between Laasphe and Erndtebrück.
From the winter timetable 1957/58 onwards, the so-called “ Heckeneilzüge ” also stopped at Laaspher station. In the timetable year mentioned, these were the train pairs E 781/782 Frankfurt (Main) - Cologne and E 4763/4766 Siegen - Marburg - Siegen - Au . Long-distance connections of this kind were offered until 1979 .
In the following years, the train offer was thinned out more and more. In the 1990s , there was only one single pair of trains running between Erndtebrück and Laasphe on weekdays, mainly for school traffic . The offer from Laasphe in the direction of Hesse was somewhat denser , but also limited to working days. Passenger traffic ceased on Saturday afternoons and Sundays . In 1998 the train service was again significantly expanded; Trains also ran in the direction of Erndtebrück about every two hours, even on weekends. Until 1995 mostly Uerdingen rail buses operated ; since then, class 628 railcars have been in use.
In 1999 the station was named Bad Laasphe ; the city adorned itself with this name affix since 1981 .
From July to December 2013, the station was converted. A connection point was created with barrier-free transfer options between train and bus. The platforms were raised from 38 cm to 55 cm. The cost of the renovation was 4.5 million euros, of which the state of North Rhine-Westphalia assumed 4.1 million euros . The old wing signals have also been removed. The converted station was officially opened on December 1, 2013.
On February 23, 2015, Bad Laasphe was voted the most customer-friendly train station in South Westphalia .
Investments
Reception building
The station building of the Bad Laaspher train station was built in 1887.
In 2008, the city of Bad Laasphe, through its Bad Laaspher property and development company (BLEG), acquired the station building including a 4,400 m² site near the station from Deutsche Bahn AG . The city plans to sell land to investors. A combined platform for buses and trains is also planned there. Extensive renovation work ended in autumn 2010. The goods shed was demolished, the reception building renovated and a small annex was added. In March 2011 it was announced that a driving school would be the first commercial tenant to use the first floor of the station building. A new central bus station was built in December 2013. Since September 2014 the Kurhessenbahn has been running its own bistro-café ( KHB-Café ) on the ground floor of the station for the first time .
Tracks
The station is equipped with two platform tracks ( track 1 + 2 ) and one siding ( track 4 ). In the area of the siding there is a gas station and a toilet disposal system as service facilities for railway companies .
