The Bullay (DB) Station is a train station in the Rhineland-Palatinate municipality Bullay and right is the Mosel at the railway Trier-Koblenz .

The addition DB stands for Deutsche Bundesbahn or Deutsche Bahn to distinguish it from the former Bullay Süd small station on the Moselle railway line .

history

The station was built with the construction of the Moselle line from Koblenz to Trier , which began in 1875 and which opened on May 15, 1879. At Bullay, the Alf-Bullay double-decker bridge was built as the first double-decker bridge in Germany to cross the Moselle. The first station building was constructed as a simple timber frame construction near it . With the Moselle Valley Railway, which opened in 1879, and the Moselle Wine Railway to Traben-Trarbach , which was added a short time later, the track system was expanded. Opposite the existing station, also known as the “State Station”, the lower-lying Bullay Süd station opened , which could be reached by sawing. Wine barrels have been the central transport goods since the beginning.

The station building was replaced in 1904 by a larger building in the local style with a train station restaurant and parcel handling. Other components of the station were a goods shed , a weighbridge and a total of three signal boxes .

After the transport volume and the number of passengers declined after the Second World War , Bullay was selected from 38 stations in Rhineland-Palatinate, along with three other stations, in 1995 for the project of the "Environment Station of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate and the Deutsche Bundesbahn", which enabled a comprehensive redesign that made the station into today's local hub. The aim was to highlight the environmental compatibility of rail as a means of transport and to redesign the stations accordingly. As part of this, extensive construction work began in 1999, during which the historic station building was largely renovated in the original style and all other station buildings were demolished. For cost reasons, the roof was rebuilt and equipped with photovoltaic systems as a sign of environmental friendliness . The connection to the station by foot, bicycle and car was improved through numerous measures, such as the extension of the tunnel to the platforms and ramps , so that both sides of the station were connected to one another at ground level, and local integration increased. The station became a stage of the Moselle Cycle Path with the possibility of storing bicycles, showering and using the toilets . The new opening finally took place at Whitsun 2003.
