The station Ehrang is after the Trier main station of the second most important station of the Rhineland-Palatinate town of Trier . The station forms a railway junction with a former marshalling yard , which is still partially used as a freight yard today. In it, the Eifel route in the direction of Cologne separates from the Moselle route in the direction of Koblenz . Until 1983, the Ehranger train station was also the starting point for the Trier western line to Igel and on to Wasserbillig / Luxembourg .
history
Ehranger Bahnhof was opened in 1870 as a station for the Rheinische Eisenbahngesellschaft . Together with the opening of the railway line from Trier to Gerolstein , general traffic began here on March 25, 1871 and the Trier western line , built since 1860, was completed with this section. The station building of Ehrang resembled those along the route; each a small castle . This happened because France had to pay a large sum of war debts to Germany after the war of 1870/1871 . It was expected that it would take many years to pay off this debt. But the whole debt was paid off in one single payment. Now the empire could afford to build these (train station) castles. The design for the planning of the building in Ehrang comes from the famous master builder Julius Carl Raschdorff , who also designed the Kyllburg and Speicher stations.
As part of the strategic “ cannon railway ” from Berlin to Metz in what is now France , the railway line from Koblenz along the Moselle to Trier was built between 1874 and 1879 , making Ehrang station a small junction.
The station building is still largely in its original state, even if it is no longer owned by Deutsche Bahn .
Reception building
The reception building including the outbuildings and the water tower are designated as a cultural monument according to the Rhineland-Palatinate Monument Protection Act (DSchG) .
The water tower is a spherical water tank riveted to a conical base made of cast iron plates, which was built between 1907 and 1913. Today the water tower is a relatively rare representative of the water towers often built around 1900 according to the Intze system.
The ensemble of reception building, shed and servant house is a picturesque group building with red sandstone facades.
The entire ensemble has the address Ehranger Straße 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 .
