The station Dülmen is one of three in operation Tower Stations (from formerly six) in North Rhine-Westphalia . It is located in Dülmen in the western Münsterland .

The station is a touch station on the Wanne-Eickel – Hamburg railway line , which is crossed in the station area by the Dortmund – Enschede railway line . It was a crossing station until the connecting curve between the two lines was dismantled .

history

The Cologne-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (CME) received the concession on May 28, 1866 to build a railway line from Wanne to Osnabrück . This was part of the supraregional Hamburg-Venloer Bahn , which in turn was to become part of an international Paris-Hamburg railway . On January 1, 1870, the CME began passenger traffic on the first section between the Wanne station (today Wanne-Eickel main station ) on its main line and the Münster station (today Münster (Westphalia) main station ), at the same time the first Dülmen station was built.

The German Empire and the Netherlands decided on 13 November 1874, the production of a direct rail link between Dortmund and Enschede. The Dortmund-Gronau-Enscheder Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (DGE for short), founded for this purpose, was able to put the first section of the line to Lünen station into operation on November 25, 1874 (now the Lünen Nord station that no longer exists).

During the construction of the next section to Dülmen, the Dülmen DGE station was laid out on June 15, 1875, half a kilometer northwest of the Cologne-Minden station, and its route was crossed level . On August 1, 1875, the next section followed to the Coesfeld (Westf) train station . After the nationalization of the (nominally) private railway companies in the Prussian State Railways , the Enscheder station is renamed the Dülmen Ost station , although it is located just west of the Cologne-Minden station.

With the construction of a connecting curve north of the train station between the two previously independent operating points, direction Coesfeld – Münster, a station crossing was practically created . In the 1950s, the passenger traffic on the upper line is the station Dülmen East for (high) Bahnhof Dülmen laid, with this station part was the station Dülmen now a tower station . The connecting curve was shut down and dismantled in the 1990s.

There was also a connecting curve east of the train station in the direction of Münster – Lünen. It was destroyed in the Second World War and not rebuilt, the rest is still in operation as a siding. Both connections were not used in passenger traffic.

The station building, opened on May 20, 1964 under Eberhard Kitter, is located in the corner of the intersection north of the Wanne-Eickel – Hamburg line and west of the Dortmund – Enschede line . It has a travel center and is largely barrier-free after the installation of an elevator system to the platform in Münster / Essen.

The station building of the former train station of the Cologne-Minden Railway Company was demolished in 1977.

Investments

In the lower area there are not only the platform tracks on a central platform but also three platform-free sidings. The former tracks on Ladestrasse in the southwest of the station are no longer connected.

In the upper area there is a platform-free crossing track on the single-track route north of the bridge.
