The Essen-Steele Ost station is now a commuter train -Knotenpunkt for the Essen District Steele . It was opened in 1862 as the first of what was once three train stations in what was then the city of Steele.
history
On March 1, 1862, the section of the Witten / Dortmund – Oberhausen / Duisburg railway between Essen and Bochum via Steele and Wattenscheid was opened by the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft . The then mayor of the city of Steele, Theodor Märcker , made participation in the construction of the line dependent on the purchase of shares that Steele should get a connection to this line. The Königssteele station, today's Essen-Steele Ost station , was finally opened on the same day . In addition to a goods shed, he also owned a reception building with a train station restaurant.
Among other things, Carl Humann , who discovered the Pergamon Altar and later became an honorary citizen of Steele, was involved in surveying the railway line. Among other things, there was the problem of adapting the steep incline from Steele towards Essen for the still weak steam locomotives. To do this, large dams had to be built in Steele. So the construction of a train station was only possible in the lower Freisenbruch . In addition, there was a good connection to mines and industry.
In the course of the inauguration of the Ruhr Bridge Steele , the connection of the Wuppertal-Vohwinkel-Essen-Überruhr railway with the new Königssteele station followed on June 1, 1863 . This line had been operated by the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft since 1854 , as far as the Ruhr before Steele, then taken over by the Prinz-Wilhelm-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft . As a further connection, the Ruhr Valley Railway to Dahlhausen was added on September 21, 1863 , which was expanded to two tracks in 1910. It was used to transport goods to hard coal mines in the Ruhr Valley . The Königssteele station , which was only called Steele from 1864 , was expanded in 1868 to include a locomotive shed, which lasted until 1935. In addition, there was a track triangle east of the station, which connected the Ruhr Valley Railway directly to the route to Bochum with a curved track and thus did not touch the station. This track, which had not been used for a long time, was finally dismantled in the 1990s. In 1931, the Steele-Nord Bw located on this triangle was closed.
In 1957 the lines were electrified by the Deutsche Bundesbahn , initially with the exception of the connection to Wuppertal . In 1972 the station buildings from 1862 that had been preserved until then were laid down. This is where today's centrally located signal box was created. The two S-Bahn lines S1 and S3 have stopped at Essen-Steele Ost station since May 1974.
The opening of the elevated connecting curve between the then Bahnhof Essen-Steele West and Überruhr on 1 February 1978, the Zuglaufzeit between Wuppertal and Essen shortened crucial because previously all trains had on this track in the station Essen-Steele Ost make head . The last push- pull trains of the local transport line N9 served the then not electrified line to Wuppertal via Steele Ost until 1978. The track curve to the Ruhr Bridge was closed.
In the meantime, until December 2006, the regional express RE14, called Der Borkener , ended in Essen-Steele Ost on platform 2 , the terminus of which has since been Essen main station .
Seven renaming
1864 named on March 1, 1862, King Steele opened the station in Steele renamed. This was followed in 1879 by the name Steele BM , where BM stood for the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft. In 1893 the name Steele Nord followed . In contrast to this, the Steele Süd station on the former Mülheim-Heißen-Altendorf (Ruhr) railway line was opened in 1878 to the south, on the right bank of the Ruhr .
In June 1926 Steele Nord was elevated to Steele Hauptbahnhof . After Steele had been incorporated into the city of Essen in 1929, it became Essen-Steele in 1950 . Since May 27, 1979 it has had its current name Essen-Steele Ost . The Essen-Steele West train station to the west was then named Essen-Steele because it is right at what is now the center of Steele.
Investments
In addition to a side platform with track 1, there is also an island platform with tracks 2 and 4. Both platforms are partially covered. The island platform is reached via a tunnel, access is barrier-free by elevators. There are also two sidings without a platform. Other track systems are no longer available.
