Gelsenkirchen-Buer Süd is a former train station and today's stop in the Beckhausen district of Gelsenkirchen . It is named after the former city of Buer .

Location and structure

The operating point is located in kilometer  5.106 of the VzG route 2236 ( Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck  - Dorsten  - Borken [Westf] ). The stop has a 94 meter long platform with a height of 16 centimeters and is not designed to be barrier-free . Access is via the street Am Bahnhof Süd, a cross street from Horster Straße or a short walk directly from it. It is crossed south of the stop at a level crossing . Since the line 301 of the Bochum-Gelsenkirchen tram runs in the course of this main connection from Buer - here single-track - the level crossing is additionally secured with cover signals. The main signals and the level crossing are the responsibility of the interlocking Gbf in the Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck station.

history

During the construction of the line by the Dutch-Westphalian Railway Company ( Nederlandsch-Westfaalsche Spoorweg-Maatschappij ; NWE / NWS), a direct route via Buer had to be dispensed with due to the vestibular ridge in the southern section . The route therefore moved further to the southwest in the direction of Gladbeck , the stop for Buer was created in the nearby Beckhausen farmers . The NWE also pointed out to the city that a local route would make the connection of the Hugo mine more difficult and that both the Graf Moltke colliery in Gladbeck and the Nordstern colliery in Gelsenkirchen could not be connected at all. In return for financial compensation, the company agreed to change the course, but Buer refused to do so. The Prussian Ministry of Commerce rejected an objection from the community on May 23, 1878.

Operations began as scheduled on June 21, 1880. The Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (BME) was contractually responsible for management until 1882, and the line itself was nationalized in 1889 . After the nationalization, the station was initially located in the administrative district of the Royal Railway Directorate (KED) Elberfeld , then from 1890 in the district of KED Cöln on the right bank of the Rhine, which became KED Essen in 1895 . The station was built in a valley and was equipped with six tracks for the connection to the Hugo colliery . There was initially disagreement about the name. The NWE intended to change the initially planned name Buer-Horst due to the proximity to the Horst station on the Westphalian Emschertal Railway to Buer . The proposed Buer-Beckhausen variant was also not approved. On the instructions of the Minister of Public Works , the name was then given to Buer , and from May 1, 1905, Buer Süd . After the Bismarck - Sterkrade section of the Emschertal Railway was closed in 1884, all coal traffic from the Hugo colliery had to be shut down via the Buer station. The station therefore received additional siding tracks at the end of the 1880s. After the route between the Bismarck, Hugo and Bottrop Süd train stations was reopened 17 years later, the freight volume fell by two thirds. In the same year, the Horst  - Buer tramway operated by Bochum-Gelsenkirchener Straßenbahnen AG (BOGESTRA) went into operation. The passenger volume almost doubled as a result.

After the turn of the century, additional sidings were added, some of which were narrow-gauge . The connections of the Fröhlich & Knüpfel company and the Emscherthaler Tonwerke went into operation on September 6, 1910. As early as 1907, the Bismarck - Dorsten section was expanded to double tracks. During the expansion, among other things, the removal of the level crossing including the tram crossing was required. The KED Essen rejected the numerous requests for this and referred succinctly to the negative decision of the Ministry of Public Works, especially since an increase in the number of trains was not planned. The extension was accompanied by the extension of the passing tracks to 600 meters. In 1908 the wooden entrance building from the opening time was replaced by a solid building in Art Nouveau style , which also contained an official apartment for the station master with six rooms. After the expansion, the station had, in addition to the two main tracks, six installation tracks for the Hugo colliery and three tracks in the area of ​​the loading road . A small drainage mountain was created as an extension of track 3 .

From 1903, plans came up for a north-south connection from Essen via Buer and Marl to Haltern . In the first draft and in a draft laid down by law in 1914, a route via the Buer Nord and Buer Süd stations was planned, until 1969 only the north branch ( Gelsenkirchen-Buer Nord - Marl Lippe ) was implemented. In 1934 renovation work was carried out on the reception building. The ticket office and ticket hall were given a new coat of paint, the 3rd class waiting room and the adjoining serving counter were given new floors. The vestibule was also expanded. In 1938 the signal box Ot (later Bsw ) was put into operation at the level of the level crossing, it served to better monitor the crossing point.

Around 1950 the station was renamed Gelsenkirchen-Buer Süd . On July 1, 1953, the Essen Federal Railway Directorate dissolved the railway maintenance facility (Bm) in Buer Süd. The sections Zweckel and Gladbeck Ost , which were subordinate to the Bm, came to Bm Gladbeck West , the remaining sections to Bm Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck. After the Second World War, the dispatcher’s workplace was relocated to the signal box Bsw (now Bf ), while the switchman was on duty at the signal box Bsf (now Bw ). Since no level crossing had to be secured from this signal box, the post could be switched through during off- peak times .

In the mid-1960s, goods handling in Buer Süd closed. When ticket issuance closed at the end of the 1970s, the station was henceforth unoccupied. On March 1, 1979, the station was dissolved as an independent agency and placed under the Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck agency. In mid-1986 the siding to the Hugo colliery was shut down after the coal trains had been discontinued in 1981. On September 21, 1986, the section between the Zweckel junction and Gelsenkirchen-Buer Süd was finally reduced to one track. The background was the six-lane expansion of Federal Motorway 2 and the associated new construction of a railway overpass . The coverage of the tram crossing was taken over from January 25, 1987 by the relay interlocking Gbf in Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck, whereby the two interlockings Bf and Bw could be omitted, at the same time the second track between Gelsenkirchen-Buer Süd and the junction Gelsenkirchen Hugo could go out of service. The reception building was demolished in the early 1990s.

At the beginning of 2015, an access staircase from the stop to Albert-Schweitzer-Straße to the west was blocked by the federal railway assets due to construction defects. The city therefore decided to build a second staircase as a replacement measure. A barrier-free expansion of the platform, however, is not specifically planned, as the stop has no priority due to the low number of passengers. About 150 travelers use the station every day.

traffic

Rail passenger transport

From 1880, three pairs of trains stopped in Buer-Horst. The trains ran between Essen and Winterswijk via Bismarck , Buer-Horst, Dorsten and Borken . Two of the train pairs drove over Winterswijk to Amsterdam . With the entry into force of the winter timetable in 1883/84, a fourth pair of trains was added. From this time on, the trains were partially extended south to Wanne . The offer has been expanded over the years, so that from 1904 a total of nine pairs of trains ran through Buer-Horst, seven of them between Essen and Winterswijk and two between Bismarck and Dorsten.

With the beginning of the First World War , the route came under military administration due to its location near the border. International traffic to the Netherlands was stopped immediately after the war began. According to the military timetable, five pairs of trains now drove between Dorsten and Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck. On November 2, 1914, KED Essen took over management again and adjusted the timetable. Eight pairs of trains drove daily from Wanne to Borken, three of which continued to Burlo and two pairs of workers between Wanne and Dorsten.

Due to the occupation of the Ruhr by French and Belgians, the timetable remained sparse. In 1927 the timetable recorded a total of twelve pairs of trains on the section between Dorsten and Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck. From this time on, most passenger trains in the direction of Essen were directed via Gladbeck West and Bottrop Hbf , only two pairs of trains from Essen went via Buer Süd and Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck. Since the route was not connected to the Gelsenkirchen main station, the RBD Essen wanted the route to only play a role in district and local traffic. In the 1930s the line was renovated and the line speed increased. The timetable now provided for 19 pairs of trains between Borken and Bismarck, which corresponded to an almost hourly service. Until 1941, the trains were integrated into the Ruhr express traffic. Due to the war, traffic came to a standstill in the spring of 1945.

At the end of 1945 the first passenger trains ran again via Buer Süd. By 1950 the supply rose almost to the pre-war level. Due to the increasing competition from the automobile, the Federal Railway stopped the amplifier trains between Wanne-Eickel Hbf and Dorsten towards the end of the 1950s. The number of passengers continued to decline until the 1980s, so that in 1984 the Federal Railroad considered stopping all traffic. An agreement between the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the railway ultimately ensured continued operation until 1997. At that time, the timetable provided for a two-hour cycle between Wanne-Eickel and Dorsten. The last continuous train to Borken left on September 26, 1987.

With the introduction of the integral clock timetable , the connection was given the line number RB 43. Since then, the line has been running every hour and is connected via Wanne-Eickel to Dortmund main station via Castrop-Rauxel Süd . The Deutsche Bahn or DB Regio operated the line until 2006, after which the NordWestBahn served the stop. DB Regio has been driving here again since 2015.

Rail freight transport

Starting in 1880, three pairs of freight trains drove on the route every day , which were soon supplemented by two more pairs of trains. On November 23, 1880, the connecting curve to the Hugo colliery went into operation, which brought an enormous volume of freight to the station. In the entrance there was mainly pit wood for the colliery. From 1945 to the 1960s, around four pairs of local goods trains were in use every day between Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck and Borken. They were also responsible for transporting the coal wagons to Dorsten, where the individual groups of wagons were separated according to their directions of travel. With the formation of the Ruhrkohle AG , block train traffic was expanded and only special coal trains left via Buer Süd. The coal trains only departed via Buer Süd on Sundays, as the Hugo station was closed. This chapter ended with the commissioning of the Gbf relay interlocking in Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck on December 13, 1981, because the Hugo station was remotely controlled from Gbf.

Transportation

Since August 24, 1901, the Buer  - Horst line of the Gelsenkirchen tram has crossed the Dutch-Westphalian Railway on a single track on Horster Strasse. The Gelsenkirchen-Buer Süd Bahnhof stop is north of the level crossing and is served by tram line 301 (Gelsenkirchen-Horst, Essener Straße - Gelsenkirchen Hbf ). The bus line 342 also stops in Flurstraße .
