history

industrialization

The beginnings of this station go back to the year 1863 when the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft opened a branch line from Essen-Überruhr via Essen-Steele Ost (formerly Steele Hbf) to Dahlhausen on September 21 of that year .

Freight traffic was the priority , but passenger cars were also attached on weekdays. When the line was extended to Hattingen in 1866 , Dahlhausen received a small station building. On October 10, 1870, the " Hasenwinkeler Kohlenweg " was opened as a standard gauge railway.

The communities of Dahlhausen and Linden participated in the construction of a new reception building, which was completed in 1875. At this point in time, the Ruhr Valley Railway was already passable as far as Hagen . Therefore, the building soon turned out to be too small.

As a result, the Royal Prussian Railway Directorate in Essen planned in 1913 a larger station building on the Dahlhausen - Steele line, which had been double-tracked since 1910, and which was to be located behind a dam to protect against flooding in the Ruhr . During the First World War, the station was built with the help of prisoners of war and was inaugurated on February 28, 1917. In the years 1916 to 1918, a depot was built here , the importance of which for freight traffic on the surrounding routes remained local until it was closed in 1969 and only increased supra-regionally after the facility was converted into the Bochum-Dahlhausen Railway Museum in 1977 .

In addition to the passenger station , a marshalling yard was built in Dahlhausen . The Dab , Mt and Nwt signal boxes were the last pneumatic signal boxes used in Germany. Compressed air was used to switch points , track barriers and signals. The system was originally controlled by type 07 table tables ; they already corresponded to the later type E 43. In 1967 the conversion to electric drive began.

post war period

Exhibition 150 years of railways in Germany

With the end of the Ruhr mining in the Ruhr Valley , the Ruhr Valley Railway also lost its importance. The Bochum-Dahlhausen depot 800 m west was closed in 1969. The railway depot has been home to the Bochum-Dahlhausen Railway Museum since 1977 , the last completely preserved steam locomotive depot in Germany. The marshalling yard was shut down in the early 1980s. From October 3 to 13, 1985, a vehicle exhibition of historical and modern rail vehicles took place on the site under the leadership of the German Federal Railroad together with private railway museums to mark the 150th anniversary of the railway in Germany . A housing estate (Ruhrauenpark) was built on part of the former railway tracks, and the first completed residential buildings have been occupied since 2005.

Since only S-Bahn trains have been running on the route to Hattingen since 1974 , the station building was also closed in 1979.

Finally, from 1994 onwards, the building was restored in accordance with a listed building. An investor made it possible to restore the facade and roof in the forms of Art Nouveau . The counter hall was set back in the style of the 1920s. The building housed an inn for a short period of time at the end of the nineties, which was operated under the name "Steam Locomotive". However, after a fire damage, there has not been a resumption of guest operations within the historic station building. As part of the 2010 Capital of Culture , the historic building with forecourt became a venue for the Ruhr Festival “ ExtraSchicht ”. A new tenant was sought for the empty reception building in 2018. Since 2020, the building has been completely owned by the city of Bochum again.

As part of the planned expansion of the rail infrastructure in North Rhine-Westphalia, the Bochum-Dahlhausen train station was to be modernized and made barrier-free from 2014 for EUR 4.3 million. The conversion is also intended to improve the link between bus and train. The single-track branch of tram line 318 is also to be expanded to double-track in order to offer a 10-minute cycle instead of the current 20-minute cycle.
