The Duisburg-Hamborn station is an operating point on the Walsumbahn Oberhausen - Spellen in the Obermarxloh district of the Hamborn district of Duisburg .

history

Entrance building on the street side, before 1945

The construction of the line meant for Hamborn, which had town charter since 1911, the connection to the railway network. The train station was therefore included in the urban planning and the road network was aligned with it in a star shape. Presumably at the request of August Thyssen , the reception building was given a ramp to enable high-ranking people to drive directly in front of the building. On October 15, 1912, the line including the station was put into operation. In the opening year, the station had 13 tracks. In addition to the two platform tracks, there were two crossing and overtaking tracks, five local goods tracks, one track on the loading ramp and three open loading tracks as well as a weighbridge . In the east, the Grillo works were connected with a three-track transfer group as the main connection and the Hamborn slaughterhouse with two tracks as an adjacent connection. In addition to the train station, the departments also included goods handling and a railway maintenance office . The station was expanded to 20 tracks in the following years. Among other things, a stump track for the amplifier trains to Oberhausen went into operation at the east end of the platform. This was also used to handle express goods . For this purpose, there was a separate tunnel to the reception building and an elevator system from this to the platform.

In 1932, the station building sagged by 2.60 meters as a result of subsidence . The subsidence damage to the waiting room was removed in the same year. On May 18, 1933, the Essen Railway Directorate installed a basa system in Hamborn . By 1963, the Essen directorate decommissioned the local freight tracks for general cargo and cargo traffic as well as the free loading tracks. At this point in time, the goods handling tasks had already been transferred to the station. For shunting a stand Köf available. In 1968 the Federal Railroad stopped shipping express general cargo, and in 1970 general cargo traffic in its entirety. In the same year, the Essen Federal Railway Directorate shut down the connecting curve to Duisburg-Neumühl. It was put back into operation in 1974 as the Hamborn station track and was shut down again in 1983 at the latest when the Duisburg-Neumühl station was converted into a junction . On May 28 of the same year, the Federal Railroad stopped passenger traffic on the route.

The station is located in the distance kilometer  7.812 of the VzG line 2271 ( Oberhausen Hbf  - Spellen (Niederrhein)  (- Wesel ). The track system is oriented in increasing kilometers approximately in an east-west direction. There was a connecting curve (VzG line 2306) The station has four main tracks (1–4 [formerly 7–5, 2]), of which platform 3 (formerly 5) is the continuous main track . The other tracks are connected to this on both sides. The entry signal  18A from Oberhausen-Buschhausen is at kilometer 6.697, the entry signal 18F from Walsum at kilometer 8.542. All four tracks are equipped with exit signals in both directions. The track systems of the Grillo works are connected to the east . The station had two mechanical interlockings type AEG from the opening year. The command interlocking Bt was at the east end at the level of the underpass Schlachthofstrasse, the guard interlocking Wt was at the bottom Experience Schwabenstrasse on the Westkopf. At the beginning of December 2017, the signal boxes were taken out of service and the station was connected to an electronic signal box . The service is from the Oberhausen West train station .

Reception building

The former station building is on Markgrafenstrasse. It is much larger than the other reception buildings along the route. The building received a facade with masonry facing in the Dutch bond and black joints. The staggered structure culminates in the reception hall surmounted by a clock tower. The lower and recessed side wings housed the service rooms. The rooms for the public included a waiting room 1./2. Class and a ladies room . Access to the platform was via a pedestrian tunnel. The building has been a listed building since July 22, 1985. After the cessation of passenger traffic, the rooms will be used for gastronomy, among other things. The reception hall serves as a ballroom for Turkish weddings.

traffic

passenger traffic

The summer timetable of May 1914 showed 16 pairs of trains between Oberhausen Hauptbahnhof and Hamborn every day, half of which continued to run to Wesel . As a result of rising inflation , the number of trains on offer fell in 1920 to five train pairs between Oberhausen and Hamborn and an additional three train pairs between Oberhausen and Wesel. On October 3, 1937, the Walsumbahn was included in the Ruhr Schnellverkehr and the offer was expanded to 34 trains between Oberhausen and Wesel and a further 18 trains between Oberhausen and Hamborn. In the summer of 1939 there were 34 pairs of passenger trains between Oberhausen and Hamborn, half of which were connected to Wesel. by 1943 the number had decreased to 13 pairs of trains between Oberhausen and Hamborn or Wesel. The Deutsche Reichsbahn limited the morning amplifiers to Hamborn to working days. In the winter timetable of 1944/45, three trains continued from Wesel to Bocholt , and seven trains in the opposite direction came from Bocholt via the Walsumbahn to Oberhausen.

After the Second World War, passenger trains to Wesel ended in Spellen. From 1951 there was a continuous connection from Spellen via Walsum and Oberhausen Hauptbahnhof to Duisburg-Ruhrort . Since May 26, 1963, Walsum was the northern terminus for passenger trains. After expanding coal train traffic to Möllen, the Federal Railroad reduced the number of passenger trains in 1976 to two pairs of trains a day. On May 28, 1983, the Federal Railroad stopped the remaining passenger traffic between Oberhausen Hbf and Walsum.

Freight transport

The main connections in the station are the Grillo works , which are connected to the DB Netz route network via a three-track transfer group in the east end of the station . The connection went into operation at the same time as the route was opened in 1912. In the opening year the group comprised five tracks, two of which each belonged to the Grillo works and the city of Hamborn , and a fifth track was jointly owned. Until the early 1960s, the delivery took place from cattle instead of by train, in 1968 joined the slaughterhouse its doors. The site was then used by RWE and then by its subsidiary Amprion . The secondary connection was used to transfer transformers . A transfer track to the Hamborn depot of the Duisburg transport company was connected to the siding.
