The Osnabrück-Eversburg station is a station without passenger traffic in the Lower Saxony city of Osnabrück . It is designed as a wedge station at the separation of the Oldenburg – Osnabrück railway line from the Löhne – Rheine railway line . The Tecklenburger Nordbahn and the Piesberger Zechenbahn also start at Eversburg station . The building of the train station is a monument.

history

The Osnabrück – Rheine railway was put into operation in 1856. Even before the construction of the station and the railway line to Oldenburg, the track of the Piesberger Zechenbahn to the Hasestollen had existed since 1857. With the opening of the railway line to Oldenburg in 1876, a passenger stop was created here on the railway line between Oldenburg and Osnabrück, trains on the existing line between Osnabrück and Rheine passed without stopping. Since the station also represented the border between the Grand Ducal Oldenburg State Railway and the Prussian State Railway , freight wagons were exchanged here. On October 24, 1903, the narrow-gauge railway Kleinbahn Piesberg – Rheine was opened. The existing building of the station was erected in 1906 next to the first station building.

On March 30, 1935, the small railway to Rheine was switched to standard gauge. The name of the railway changed from Kleinbahn Piesberg – Rheine to the name of the railway line still in use today: Tecklenburger Nordbahn . The Tecklenburger Nordbahn no longer exists as a company; in 1980 it was part of Regionalverkehr Münsterland . Passenger trains of the small railway no longer ended here, but could run to the main station.

From 1942 a stop was set up at Eversburg station on the Löhne – Rheine railway line. Now, after more than 60 years of existence of the station, passenger trains on this line stopped at the station for the first time.

Gradual cessation of passenger traffic

With the cessation of passenger traffic on the Tecklenburger Nordbahn between Mettingen and Osnabrück on September 25, 1965, the service of the station through this railway line also ended. The stop of the passenger trains on the route to and from Rheine was discontinued in the 1980s. When the stops on the Oldenburg – Osnabrück and Delmenhorst – Hesepe railway lines were discontinued , passenger transport was completely abandoned in 1991.

Development in freight transport

On October 23, 1989, the Ausfädelungsweiche of the Tecklenburger Nordbahn was moved from the Oldenburg – Osnabrück railway by more than a kilometer to the north, so that from this date the station no longer represented the end point of the Tecklenburger Nordbahn. The track running parallel to the railway line to Oldenburg was then removed. The branch to the Piesberger Zechenbahn still exists and was even upgraded in 2013 by closing the gap to the Osnabrück port railway. In the future, container trains will be able to run from the new container terminal in the port across the gap to Eversburg station.

Small train station

The Kleinbahn Piesberg – Rheine did not have its own station building. The freight shed of the state railway (demolished around 1982) was also used, there were two separate tracks. There was a platform near the state railway until the gauge change, after which the passenger trains drove directly into the state railway station. All attachments are removed.
