Deut is an operating site in the Deuten district of the North Rhine-Westphalian city ​​of Dorsten . The stop is at the intersection of the Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck - Winterswijk route with the federal road 58 and is used by local and military traffic.

Location and structure

Level crossing B 58 and signal box Df, 2014

The breakpoint is located in kilometer  25.3 of the VzG route 2236 ( Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck  - Borken (Westf)  [- Borken border - Winterswijk ]). The southern border of the station was at the entrance signal A in kilometers 25.0; the northern border of the station at the entrance signal F in kilometers 26.2. The exit signal  P1 in the direction of Dorsten was in kilometers 25.3, the exit signal N1 in the opposite direction in kilometers 25.8. The stop has a continuous main track with a 38 centimeter high and 128 meter long platform.

At the southern end of the station one branches siding for ammunition Home Depot Wulfen (Wulfen Muna) of the Bundeswehr from. The main track is secured against dangerous vehicle movements on the siding by a safety switch . The Muna track network itself has a total length of around 15 kilometers.

The stop currently has no reception building . Access is at ground level from Weseler Straße (B 58) and Lasthausener Weg, which runs parallel to the route. The signal box Df at the level of the level crossing took over the operation and monitoring of the signaling equipment . From here, in addition to the B 58 level crossing, two other level crossings were served, one of them as a call barrier . There is another signal box at the north head; this was used by the dispatcher until 2006 . The signal box that has been in use since then has been the point- keeper's workplace .

history

The route of the Dutch-Westphalian Railway Company , which was opened in 1880 , initially passed Deuten without stopping. In 1889 the Prussian State Railways took over the German section of the route and transferred the management to the Royal Railway Direction (KED) in Cologne on the right bank of the Rhine. From 1895 the route was within the KED Essen area.

In 1901, the KED Essen initiated the establishment of a depot for train crossings in order to increase the capacity of the single-track main line . The crossing point made it possible for trains up to 600 meters long to meet. The citizens of Deutener wanted the depot to be expanded to include a loading point and a platform for passenger and freight traffic. On February 7, 1906, a site inspection took place in the presence of representatives of the railway direction and the bailiff von Wulfen . Those responsible agreed to relocate the operations center to the Chaussee from Schermbeck to Wulfen and to expand it to the stop. The Wulfen community, to which Deuten belonged at the time, provided the required land free of charge. The loading point for sending milk went into operation on May 1, 1908, and the first passenger train stopped two months later on July 1, 1908. The station initially had no local staff, so the train driver was responsible for the train supervision . A small single - storey half-timbered building served as the reception building .

Former command signal box Df, 2014

About a year later, the command signal box  Df ( D eut F ahrdienstleiter) went into operation at the north head . A year later followed the guards interlocking Dw ( D For re W oak warden) on the road Schermbeck - Wulfen. The latter was housed in the reception building. Both signal boxes had a mechanical lever bench type Scheidt & Bachmann .

Before the First World War , the Auguste Victoria mining company bought several properties for a planned colliery north-west of Deuten. The plans envisaged connecting the mine with a connecting railway from Deuten. A six-track transfer station was planned for this to the west of the existing track system . In addition, the line between Deuten and the neighboring Hervest-Dorsten station to the south was to receive the second track. As a result of the outbreak of war in 1914, the project was not implemented. Independently of this project, a double-track transfer station was probably built in 1914, through which pit wood was removed from the surrounding forests and gravel from the Freudenberg gravel pit. The gravel pit was connected to the train station via a narrow-gauge wagon train that ran parallel to the Chaussee. At track 5, the train led onto a ramp so that the freight wagons could be loaded from above.

On October 15, 1931, goods handling went into operation in Deuten . It was housed in a discarded freight car that was attached to the station building, a wall had previously been removed for this purpose. Since this obstructed the view of the road, the crank handle had to be moved out of the building into a separate corrugated iron shack. This was designated as item  14a.

In 1938, southwest of the station that originated Army munitions plant Wulfen (Muna), an ammunition depot of the armed forces . A siding led from Deuten to this depot. On February 25, 1945, a transport train stationed there was hit during an Allied air raid . Three days earlier, the section north of Deuten was slightly damaged by high explosive bombs . After the end of the war, the British occupying forces took over the site. A second goods handling facility for the depot went into operation in 1948 to connect the Muna. This was also in a former freight car.

Since the mid-1950s, there has been a sharp decline in freight traffic by rail. Around the beginning of 1963, there was a fire in the station building, which also destroyed the main book of the station. The Federal Railway Directorate in Essen suspected arson as the cause and immediately initiated disciplinary proceedings - as it later turned out, an overheated cannon furnace was to blame for the fire. The management also used the incident to close the goods handling facility in Deuten on February 1, 1963. The damaged premises in the reception building, however, remained, and the railroad workers intimidated by the disciplinary proceedings waived their request to renovate the building. It was not until 1978 that the Dw signal box was replaced by a new building - item 14a was omitted afterwards - and the station building was then demolished.

After the freight transport facilities were gradually dismantled, the station had two platform tracks for passenger traffic and the connecting track to the Muna with a protective switch by 2005 . In 1999 the German Armed Forces took over the ammunition depot from the British armed forces and has been running the facility as the main ammunition depot in Wulfen ever since. As the train crossings only took place in the northern Rhade station , the second main track was removed in summer 2005 and the track trough was filled. The remaining four main signals were retained after the dismantling, as the exit signal N1 in the direction of Borken (Westf) continues to serve as the destination signal for train journeys to Muna. By definition, Deuten continued to be a train station, although trains can no longer cross or overtake. As a result of the dismantling, DB Netz, as the operator of the infrastructure, gave up the signal box Df at the north head in 2006 and transferred the tasks of the dispatcher to the previous signal box Dw. The name of the signal box changed accordingly. At the beginning of December 2018, Deuten was connected to the Coesfeld ESTW and operationally converted into a breakpoint . The connection to the Muna was retained. The signal box Df remains in operation as a barrier post .

After opening in the spring of 1908, the station was initially served by seven pairs of passenger trains, which made a direct connection to Winterswijk , Borken , Dorsten , Wanne and Essen . Another pair of trains was added by the First World War, but traffic to the Netherlands came to a standstill after the war began. In freight transport, agricultural products, especially milk shipping, played an important role. In addition, from 1914 gravel and pit timber were loaded .

After a few declines as a result of the war and the occupation of the Ruhr area in the early 1920s, the number of trains increased again towards the end of the 1920s. In 1938, the Deutsche Reichsbahn integrated passenger trains into the Ruhr express traffic . It used 19 pairs of passenger trains on the route every day, which meant there was a connection from Deuten to Borken, Dorsten and Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck almost every hour. In 1941 the traffic was stopped and the offer was subsequently reduced again. The number of local goods trains stopped was reduced after a small locomotive was stationed in Rhade for handover trips.

After the Second World War there was a decline in the number of trains due to the onset of mass motorization . Since the mines increasingly dispensed with pit timber and instead used steel punches, the shipping figures continued to decline. After a fire, goods handling closed on February 1, 1963. In addition to the passenger trains from Borken via Dorsten to Wanne-Eickel, from 1953 to the mid-1960s, additional passenger trains stopped in Deuten from Borken via Hervest-Dorsten to Lippramsdorf . This connection, called "Buna Trains", was intended for the transport of the chemical works in Hüls south of Lippramsdorf. However, the number of trains did not reach the pre-war level. In the 1980s, the Deutsche Bundesbahn tested the line for its profitability. A framework agreement was then concluded between the Federal Railroad and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia , which temporarily secured the line until 1997. In 1987 the Federal Railroad introduced the hourly service between Borken, Dorsten and Essen or Oberhausen .

It was operated until 2006 by the Deutsche Bundesbahn or DB Regio ( Deutsche Bahn ). In December 2006, the NordWestBahn took over the line called RE14. There is an hourly connection to Borken, Dorsten and Essen. In addition, there are occasional military transports to and from the ammunition depot. For transports within the depot has its own army the diesel locomotive type Deutz KS 230 B .
