The Eitorf Station is located in the center of the village Eitorf in Rhein-Sieg-Kreis . It was opened in 1859 by the Cöln-Mindener Eisenbahn with the victory line and served passenger and freight traffic . Today the RE 9 and the S 12 run here every hour as planned, with the RE 9 being reinforced during rush hour in the morning towards Cologne and in the afternoon towards Siegen . Freight trains rarely run through the station, the goods receiving ramp is closed. All scheduled passenger trains through the station are operated by DB Regio NRW . Today the station corresponds to category 5 and is a through station . The operating points abbreviation is KEIT (former Bundesbahndirektion K PEP, Station Eit orf), the International station number is the 8,001,736th
Buildings
Reception building
The reception building from the opening time was almost completely destroyed in the Second World War . An extension then served as a temporary measure, later the vestibule and the baggage handling area were added to it in a makeshift manner. When there was a large number of passengers, there was not enough space, so some of the passengers had to wait in front of the building. At that time, the station was frequented by around 5,200 travelers on working days. After the station master of Eitorf and the Siegburg Works Office presented the grievances to the Cologne Federal Railway Directorate, its President Erwin Keßler presented in Eitorf in September 1955. He then commissioned the Siegburg Works Office with the spatial planning for a new reception building, which was available in December 1955. Since there was no co-financing by either the municipality or the district , the management presented the project to the main administration of the Federal Railroad in Frankfurt am Main, which on July 18, 1957 gave the green light for a preliminary draft with a cost estimate.
The draft of the Cologne Department of Building Construction envisaged a single-storey, elongated reception building. At 1830 cubic meters, the volume was almost twice as large as the temporary building with 950 cubic meters, but it was smaller than the previous building with 2500 cubic meters. Architecturally defining factors were the merging of the facade of the train station restaurant with the two-door entrance area to form a twelve-axis grid facade and the flat roof sloping sharply backwards . This made it possible to increase the clear height in the entrance area to 3.70 meters, while it is around 2.50 meters on the track side and in the service rooms of the eastern extension. The interior was designed for so-called right-hand traffic, which means that the ticket counters and baggage drop-off were on the right when entering, while the station restaurant was on the left. The construction costs were estimated at 280,000 D-Marks , and a further 50,000 D-Marks were earmarked for the roofing of the main platform on track 1 and the widening of the central platform. The installation of an underpass at a later date was taken into account. In addition, there were 40,000 D-Marks for the construction of a bus station with three stopping islands.
The tenders for the dismantling of the old and the new construction of the new reception building are published in October 1959. In November 1959, the BD Cologne announced the allocation of the first 30,000 D-Marks for the renovation. The shell was probably completed on July 15, 1960. Difficulties arose briefly in October 1960 because the train station manager closed her bar in the temporary building and the waiting room was no longer accessible. Only when the Federal Railroad guaranteed a share of the cost of the demolition of the old premises in 3,000 D-Marks did they reopen their restaurant. At around the same time, several defects in the building that had to be rectified become apparent. On October 8, 1962, the Au Railway Maintenance Department reported to the Siegburg Works Office that “the construction project was completed and, apart from the removal of a few minor defects from the acceptance test,” . The total costs were 430,000 D-Marks, of which the underground improvement of the forecourt alone cost 50,000 D-Marks. The actual opening date of the building is not known, nor is the reason for the change in the facade compared to the design. The building stood empty for a few years at the beginning of the 2000s and could not be entered by travelers. Since February 2009 there is a bakery branch in the former counter hall. Next to the train station there is a multi-storey car park and a parking lot , which commuters use for park and ride .
Platforms
Until the spring of 2004, the station had a house platform and an intermediate platform between tracks 1 and 2 , which could only be reached at ground level via track 1 using a passenger crossing. That is why only one train was allowed to stop in Eitorf; at train crossings, one of the two trains had to wait in front of the station for the other to leave.
Since the renovation, an outside platform for track 2 has been located behind the track. The side platforms can also be reached barrier-free via ramps . The platforms are 76 centimeters high, which is why wheelchair users cannot get on and off the trains of the S 12, which have a boarding height of 96 centimeters, without assistance.
Signal box
The relay interlocking Ef ( E itorf, F ahrdienstleiter) type Sp Dr S 60 controls the train stations Eitorf and Merten (Sieg). The identical signal boxes at the Blankenberg (Sieg) and Hennef (Sieg) stations are not manned locally, but are controlled remotely by the dispatcher in Eitorf. The single-track section on the Victory Line between Merten and Blankenberg (see also the report of the regional traffic planning) is controlled by the Eitorfer dispatcher, as are several level crossings .
history
In 1910 the station had 30 employees: stationmaster Kuhlmann, railway intern Eschborn, turnpike Dewes, top web assistant Both, railway assistant Dewel, sub-assistant Altwickler, loadmaster Sommershof, the platform Schaffner Rösgen and Weschpfennig, railway agents Gude, Hönscheid, Kolf, Kollasch and Stoever, the locomotive engineer steel , Melchers, Miebach and Göldner, the locomotive heaters Pütz, Ennenbach, Hassel, Bensberg, Bangert, Zöller, Schopp, Löhe and Halber, machine attendant Karp, Rottenführer Wiertz and Schirrmann Lohmberg. Until the post-war period, many Eitorfer companies were supplied with goods via sidings. In addition to the large companies Schoeller'sche Kammgarnspinnerei and Boge, for example, the building materials trade Langel.
future
In the original S-Bahn planning of the 1970s, it was planned that the S 12 should run to Eitorf every 20 minutes. However, this would require a double-track expansion of the Sieg line between the Merten and Blankenberg stations and the construction of a turning system in Eitorf. In addition, the existing level crossings, which are located on both sides of the station, would have to be replaced by intersection-free solutions in order to make space for the turning system. (For the expansion plans, see victory route # planning .)

traffic
The station is a stop on the S 12 and S 19 lines of the Cologne S-Bahn .
Located in the Eitorfer community center, the train station is also a bus hub. It is served by the lines 533, 564, 570, 571, 573 and 579 of the Rhein-Sieg-Verkehrsgesellschaft . The tariffs of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Sieg (VRS) apply to the bus lines - as to the trains stopping at the train station - the NRW tariff applies across the network .
