The finnentrop station is a terminal station at the Ruhr-Sieg railway between Hagen and Siegen . The station is located on the territory of the municipality of Finnentrop in the district of Olpe . This is where the Biggetalbahn branches off to Olpe , and the starting point of the Finnentrop-Wennemen branch line, which was closed in 1996, was also located here .

history

Finnentrop station was built in the course of the construction of the Ruhr-Sieg line from 1858 to 1861, the construction of the station was completed in 1860. Located at the place Neubrücke, it was named Finnentrop after a nearby estate, which only became the name of the entire place in 1908. In 1870 the first station building was built. This was replaced by a new building in 1898 due to the increased volume of traffic and served as living space for families of railway workers until it was demolished in 1937. A locomotive station attached to the station was built in the 1870s in connection with the branch lines to Olpe and Wennemen, but in 1892 only one locomotive was stationed here. Together with Altenhundem , the station gradually developed into one of the operating centers of the Ruhr-Sieg line. In 1914, after the Finnentroper Hütte , which was located on the required site , was closed in 1901, the locomotive station became an independent railway depot . During the First World War , a field kitchen was set up next to the train station, and a medical team was set up in the waiting room of the reception building. After the Second World War , 660 people were employed at the station.

In 2002, Deutsche Bahn AG stopped selling tickets in the station building, and the municipality took over the building two years later. As part of the modernization offensive for train stations, the state of North Rhine-Westphalia invested over one million euros in redesigning the train station. In the first construction phase, the station building was demolished at the end of 2007 and the station square was completely redesigned. A citizens' initiative had previously made suggestions for the new use of the building. The main platform has been increased to 76 centimeters and expanded as a combined platform : public buses now stop directly opposite the trains, which enables barrier-free transfers. Further construction work on the island platforms and the new pedestrian bridge began in 2015.

In 1874 a roundhouse with four vehicles was built, which was expanded after the First World War. Around 1921 a 20-meter turntable was added. It was partially destroyed in 1944 and shut down in 1982. On February 6, 2010, the shed collapsed due to snow loads . As a result, the car repair hall built after the First World War was also closed. The walls of the engine shed are to be preserved, however. The depot also had a decontamination facility for cleaning and disinfecting cattle cars.

In 1913 the mechanical interlocking Fr at the marshalling yard went into operation, in 1924 (Fs), 1928 (Ff) and 1937 (Fn) three more. In 2002 the last three were replaced by an electronic interlocking from Siemens. The listed but threatened equestrian signal box Ff is still preserved, and the signal boxes Fn and Fs are also entered in the list of monuments of the municipality of Finnentrop .
