The Coesfeld (Westf) train station is the most important train station in the city of Coesfeld and an important transport hub in the western Münsterland in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia .
The Coesfelder station is a junction station at the Dortmund-Enschede railway , the railway Dorsten-Coesfeld and the railway Coesfeld-Münster (called Baumberge Railway ).
history
The Dortmund-Gronau-Enscheder Railway Company (DGE) began building its main line from Dortmund in 1874 . On August 1, 1875, it opened the Coesfeld (Westf) station at the end of the section from Dülmen Ost. Almost two months later, another section to Gronau was inaugurated, and the terminus became a through station .
The Wanne-Eickel-Hamburg line of the Cologne-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft was of great national importance, the Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (RhE) planned its Duisburg-Quakenbrück line as a competitor. With the completion of the latter on July 1, 1879, Coesfeld became a crossing station . The Rhenish route originally crossed the DGE route south of Coesfeld.
In 1880 the RhE was first nationalized, in 1903 the DGE also joined the Prussian State Railways (PSE) as one of the last (nominally) private railway companies . The company had already started to build a railway line from Empel to Borken at the turn of the century . Coesfeld was reached on October 1, 1904, and the new line crossed the two existing lines again south of the station. The construction to Billerbeck took place until March 1, 1908, with the last section to Havixbeck, the building project was completed on May 1, 1908.
The original in timbered held station building was demolished in 1910 and replaced by a new building.

In the second half of the 20th century, the number of travelers in Westmünsterland decreased. None of the railway lines had ever played a greater, supra-regional role. First, on May 26, 1974, passenger traffic on the western part of the Baumberbahn from Isselburg-Anholt to Coesfeld was stopped. Ten years later this followed on the northern section from Coesfeld to Rheine of the Rhenish route.
At the beginning of the 1990s, several modifications to the track system began. On August 28, 1993, the exit from the Coesfeld train station in the direction of Ahaus (VzG 2100) was re-routed. The track of the Baumberbahn to Münster (VzG 2265) was shut down on November 13, 1994 to Lutum route change , in return the one to Rheine (VzG 2273) was put back into operation up to this point. The section from Lutum to St. Arnold was completely shut down on January 1, 1996 and has since been partially dismantled.
There was now no continuous passenger traffic either on the Baumberbahn or on the Duisburg – Quakenbrück railway. The time-consuming southern exit from the train station without intersections was thus superfluous. The exit towards Dülmen (VzG 2100) was relocated to the route of the former route to Borken (VzG 2265) on November 30, 1997 .
In 2008, the Coesfeld (Westf) Cf interlocking was built , an electronic interlocking of the SIMIS-D and ZSB 2000 type. In the years that followed, up to 2012, it took over the tasks of the three mechanical predecessors and remote control of the Steinfurt-Burgsteinfurt train stations (October 26, 2008 ), Altenberge (November 9, 2008), Gronau (Westf) and Ochtrup (both October 12, 2008), Beelen , Telgte and Warendorf (all three October 26, 2009), Ahaus and Epe (Westf) (November 22, 2010) , and most recently Billerbeck and Havixbeck (January 29, 2012).
After the renovation carried out for 6.5 million euros, in the course of which the old tunnel was replaced with a new underpass, three elevators were installed and tracks were laid, Coesfeld is now a modern and barrier-free train station. It was inaugurated on January 18, 2013 in the presence of the then North Rhine-Westphalian Transport Minister Michael Groschek .
On December 19, 2018, the City Council of Coesfeld approved plans to demolish the historic reception building. The aim is to create space for a multi-purpose building which, in addition to a reception hall and a travel center, will also provide gastronomic offers and bicycle parking spaces as well as residential and business premises. The project was recently highly controversial in Coesfeld because with the building and its striking turret, another piece of historically significant building fabric is irretrievably lost.

Stop at the Coesfeld school center
The Coesfeld School Center stop was reopened on June 10, 2011.
Formally, the stop is not on the Empel-Rees – Münster railway line (VzG 2265), whose track between the Coesfeld station and the Lutum branch has been closed, but on the track of the former line to Rheine (VzG 2273).
