The Borken (Westf) train station is the central train station of the city of Borken and an important transport hub in the western Münsterland in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia .
The Borkener Bahnhof was put into operation in 1880 and is a former crossing station on the Winterswijk - Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck line , the Empel-Rees - Münster line and the northern line of the Westphalian State Railway . Since 1996 it has been the terminus of the only still operating section of the route Borken - Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck.
history
In the mid-1860s there were the first concrete plans for a railway line through the Achterhoek via Borken into the Ruhr area . The project became more concrete after the establishment of the Dutch-Westphalian Railway Company (Nederlandsch-Westfaalsche Spoorweg-Maatschappij; NWE / NWS). The state treaty was concluded on July 31, 1875, the concession for the German section of the route was issued conditionally by the then Prussian Trade Minister Heinrich von Achenbach to the NWE on November 2, 1875, the final on February 17, 1877. Construction preparations began soon thereafter. Of the five stations on German territory, one Gemen-Borken station was planned. According to plans by the NWE, this should be located on the connecting road between Borken and the town of Gemen about one and a half kilometers south of Borken. The city of Borken, on the other hand, wanted a train station in the west of the city to give Rhede and Raesfeld access to rail traffic. At the endeavors of the Borken district administrator Wilhelm Bucholtz and a grant of several thousand marks from the city of Borken, the station was then moved to its current location in the northeast of the city center.
The Winterswijk - Borken - Dorsten - Bismarck line was officially opened on June 14, 1880, and scheduled train operations began on June 21, 1880. The NWE initially entrusted the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft with operational management , whereas the facilities at the time of commissioning remained owned by NWE. The timetable provided for three pairs of trains daily between Essen and Winterswijk, two of which were tied to Amsterdam . After the nationalization of the BME in 1882, the Royal Railway Directorate (KED) Elberfeld took its place. On March 6, 1883, the station opened under the name Borken-Gemen was renamed Borken (Westf) . Until the turn of the century, the offer was steadily expanded. On March 1, 1889, the route was also nationalized. Between 1890 and 1895 the line was briefly under the control of KED Cöln on the right bank of the Rhine and finally came to KED Essen in 1895 .
The station building was on the west side of the track system. The central building and the northern extension were where the ticket office, the offices of the railway officials and customs and the station restaurant were . Upstairs of the central building was the official residence of the stationmaster . All goods passing the border were checked in a separate customs shed. For coal block trains there was an elevated customs platform between main tracks 1 and 2 to view the wagons from above. Tracks 6, 7 West and 8 were available to customs as planned. Track 5 served as an open loading track. The first expansion of the station took place in 1893. A public toilet building was built to the north of the reception building as an extension to the machine and pump house . At about the same time, the customs shed was enlarged. The offices were relocated from the south to the north side, and rooms for meat inspection and especially for trichinae inspection were set up in the new southern extension .

On August 1, 1902, Borken was connected to the first section of the Empel - Münster railway line , coming from Bocholt station. Borken became a station of separation . The first operation took place with four pairs of trains a day. Two months later, on October 1, 1902, the Westfälische Landes-Eisenbahn (WLE) opened the exit station of its northern line to Burgsteinfurt via Stadtlohn in the immediate vicinity of the state train station , but its tracks were not connected to the others (until 1951). The WLE built its small train station including the necessary infrastructure east of the state train station. Freight wagons could be exchanged between the two stations via two track connections. The train service started with four trains per day. On September 27, 1904, the Baumberbahn was extended to Coesfeld (1907 to Münster ), five more pairs of trains came on. The route was under the control of KED Münster . The Borkener train station became a crossing station and the volume of goods and passengers increased continuously. In order to cope with the increased demands, the station was extensively expanded in 1904 and 1905. Two more island platforms were built for passenger traffic , which were connected to the small station and the main platform via underpasses. The total number of tracks increased from eight to 21, with some of the passing tracks being extended to 600 meters. In connection with the expansion, a water tower and a turntable were built by 1906 . In 1909 the new platforms received a roof. Three mechanical signal boxes went into operation to ensure that the train runs safely .
In 1913, the volume of traffic (especially freight trains) reached a peak. During the First World War, traffic to Holland was stopped immediately and the rest of the timetable was thinned out. After the end of the war, the connections were only slowly restored, the first international passenger trains started running from 1919. As a result of the merger of the Dutch railway companies SS and HIJSM from 1917, international passenger traffic between the Netherlands and the German Reich increasingly shifted to connections via Bentheim and Emmerich . The through trains to Amsterdam have been removed from the timetable. The Deutsche Reichsbahn , founded in 1920, therefore downgraded the Borken - Grenz section into a branch line in 1924 . In a southerly direction, the offer has been increased to an almost hourly service with 19 daily train pairs. The route to Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck should only have regional significance in the future. With the outbreak of the Second World War, international passenger traffic was stopped again. For goods traffic , a small locomotive was probably stationed in Borken in the 1930s , which took over the transfer trips to the smaller neighboring stations.
During the Second World War , the station was completely destroyed in air raids by the Allies on March 21, 1945. In addition to the station building , the Wt and Rt signal boxes were also destroyed. There had already been individual attacks on passenger and freight trains beforehand.
In the first post-war years, the WLE and the Reichsbahn rebuilt their two stations as a makeshift and resumed most of the connections. The connection across the Dutch border was initially out of order. Traffic in the direction of Dorsten could only be started in 1948 after the bridges over the Wesel-Datteln Canal and the Lippe had been rebuilt . All other timetables were expanded again by 1950. Freight trains from and to Borken were run via Bocholt and Wesel until 1948 .

The station building, which was destroyed in the war, was temporarily replaced by a barrack . The inauguration of the clinker building designed by Erich Eickemeyer took place on September 5, 1952. The counter hall was much larger than the pre-war building and was decorated with a large map of the Borken district . The building also housed customs premises, which the Federal Customs Administration gave back at the end of 1953 after a resumption of international passenger traffic was no longer in sight. They were then used by a train station bookshop . The first construction phase also included the reconstruction of the goods and customs hall and the new construction of the Wt guard interlocking . In the second construction phase from 1953, the station restaurant with the associated utility rooms and the waiting room could be implemented.
Freight traffic, which eventually crossed borders again, remained below the pre-war level in the 1950s. As a result of the three-year delay from 1945 to 1948, the majority of customers migrated to the streets. By 1952, the Deutsche Bundesbahn had lost around 60 percent of its customers on the route to Dorsten.
In the passenger traffic, however, new connections were established, so that in 1952 around 1,000 people frequent the Borken train station every day. As of May 20, 1951, Borken was the stop of the Grenzlandexpress , a hedge cable train that temporarily drove from Mönchen Gladbach via Düsseldorf to Rheine . To make this connection possible, the tracks of the WLE Northern Railway and the main line were connected to each other at the level of the entry signal from the direction of Winterswijk. The Grenzlandexpress operated for almost 25 years until September 27, 1975. In addition, there was a direct connection from Borken to Hagen via Wanne-Eickel . For workers at the Marl Chemical Park , there was also a direct offer from Borken to Lippramsdorf with transfer in Hervest-Dorsten until the early 1960s .
From the mid-1950s, passenger traffic also steadily decreased. The route into the Ruhr area remained relatively well frequented, but the Baumberbahn via Coesfeld to Münster and the northern line were heavily thinned out. The latter has also operated in the state train station since 1958, as the WLE closed its own train station. The WLE station was dismantled a few years later with the exception of a loading platform. Together with the closure of the small train station, passenger traffic to Burgsteinfurt was also discontinued on November 13, 1959, the WLE now only operated goods traffic here. On October 1, 1961, the Federal Railroad stopped passenger traffic between Borken and Burlo on the route to Winterswijk.
At the beginning of the 1960s, a Dutch steam locomotive got into the pit of the turntable while shunting , so that it was shut down immediately after the accident. As a result, the Essen Federal Railway Directorate used the 50 series on passenger trains , which, in contrast to the 38 10-40 series used previously, were also allowed to travel 80 km / h with tender ahead. A short time later took over tender locomotives of the class 78 0-5 tasks.

In the 1960s, Borken was a smaller marshalling hub in western Münsterland. Most of the up to ten pairs of freight trains per day were dismantled on the discharge mountain . Continuous trains from Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck to Winterswijk therefore only ran late. As a result of the increasing migration of goods traffic to the road, the Borken freight dispatch closed on June 1, 1975. The transfer trips between Winterswijk and Borken were stopped on September 29, 1979, there remained individual transfer trains between Borken and Burlo. As early as May 25, 1974, passenger traffic on the Isselburg-Anholt-Coesfeld section of the Baumbergebahn was discontinued, and from 1981 there were no more freight trains in the direction of Bocholt. The line was the first to be dismantled in 1982. The connection to Coesfeld was no longer used by freight traffic from 1983. However, the tracks were initially retained as a connection to the Bundeswehr barracks. Freight traffic on the northern line to Steinfurt was taken over by the Federal Railroad on April 1, 1984 and stopped on January 30, 1988. Borken became a through station again.
The track field of the station was severely dismantled in the 1980s, after the abandonment of the routes towards Bocholt and Coesfeld, the points in the north head were switched to manual operation and most exit signals to the north were dismantled. Since then, the command signal box Bf (formerly Wt ) has only performed the tasks of a command post and served to secure the level crossing on federal roads 67 and 70 . In 1989, the station forecourt for 2.5 million was Deutschmark redesigned. The plans for the redesign of the square reached back to the 1970s. On September 30, 1994, Deutsche Bahn also stopped freight traffic between Borken and Burlo, and the section was closed on January 1, 1996. In this context, the signal box Bt was abandoned and relocated to the signal box Bo (formerly Ot ), which had previously been used as a guard signal box . The reception building has been reduced to a hall with a travel center that is only served temporarily.
The route has been served by the NordWestBahn since 2006 . Since then, the regional express "Der Borkener" ( RE 14 ) has been tied to Essen every hour instead of the former regional train to Wanne-Eickel.
In 2012, the platform was moved further south to make room for Bahnhofsstraße, which has been running through the former train station since 2015. In 2014 the old station building was demolished. A spacious bus station was built on the previous station forecourt. The state of North Rhine-Westphalia contributed 300,000 euros to the total costs of the redesign, with Deutsche Bahn bearing the remaining costs.
construction
In relation to the Winterswijk - Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck route, the operating point is located at 42.7 km . In relation to the former route from Empel-Rees to Münster (Westphalia) main station , the station was located at kilometer 37.37. The Borkener Kleinbahnhof was the starting point of the route on the northern runway of the WLE.
Since the last renovation, the state train station has had three tracks, of which track 1 (formerly 3) is the only remaining main track , tracks 2 and 3 (formerly 4 and 5) are side tracks , which can be accessed via the only remaining points 1 and 8 (formerly 3). Trips on the main signal are possible from entry signal 45A to track 1 and in the opposite direction from track 1 via exit signal 45F in the direction of Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck.
In the direction of Winterswijk, the exit signal 45N1 is available as a destination signal, so that an entrance to platform 3 can take place at 60 km / h. The control and safety systems were operated and monitored by the interlocking Bf ("Borken Fahrdienstleiter") at the southern head of the station until December 2018. At the beginning of December 2018, the connection to the ESTW Coesfeld took place .

Rail passenger transport
In terms of local rail passenger transport , Borken (Westf) station is now only served by a single regional express line. This has more of the character of a city express line, as it runs parallel to the S 9 S-Bahn line on the southern section from Essen to Gladbeck West and only stops at the more important stations, while on the northern section it serves every station:
