history

Former reception building from 1872

On February 1, 1872, the reception building of Werden train station , which still exists today, was completed in the historicism style. It initially served the route of the Ruhr Valley Railway, which was opened for passenger traffic that day, from Düsseldorf via Kettwig and Werden to Kupferdreh . In the beginning there were four trains a day in both directions. The following day, goods traffic began here.

The Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (BME), one of the three large private railway companies in the Ruhr area , received the concession on March 25, 1872 for the 7.85 kilometer route from Werden to Essen Hauptbahnhof , which went into operation on August 15, 1877 went. The connecting line received the second track between 1887 and 1894, after the nationalization of the BME.

The station building was supplemented by extensions around 1920. The renaming of Werden train station to Essen-Werden took place in 1930, after Werden was incorporated into the city of Essen in 1929.

The German Federal Railroad stopped traffic from Essen-Werden in the direction of Hagen in the mid-1960s. In January 1967 the Essen-Werden station was subordinated to the Kettwig office. This year, the current stop, about 250 meters further north, with its two platform tracks, was completed. The line was electrified a year later. With this, the old station building had lost its function as a train station. On May 5, 1968, the S-Bahn, which had just opened from Düsseldorf-Garath via Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof to Ratingen Ost , was extended further via Werden to Essen Hauptbahnhof. On May 26, 1974, the S-Bahn received line number S 6. In 1978, freight traffic in the direction of Hagen also ended and the line was subsequently dismantled.

During the summer holidays of 2012, the station was rebuilt to be barrier-free, for which the platforms were raised to 96 cm and two elevators were installed for pedestrian underpasses.

In the operating point directory of Deutsche Bahn , the station has the abbreviation EEWD and is listed in station category  5 as a local transport system stop . Today it is served exclusively by the S 6 line of the Rhein-Ruhr S-Bahn (timetable route 450.6) in local rail passenger transport . This has been extended to Cologne-Nippes since 2004 . Trains on the S 6 line stop at the platforms of the continuous main tracks. At the height of the old reception building there is still a siding, other tracks are no longer connected (2020).
