history
Private railway time
Between 1866 and 1874 the Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (RhE) built its Ruhr area line from Osterath on the left Lower Rhine to the Dortmund RhE station , in competition with the Witten / Dortmund – Oberhausen / Duisburg line of the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (BME) 1860–1862, and the Duisburg – Dortmund line of the Cologne-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (CME) , which was completed in 1848 and runs a little further north .
In order to better compete with the other two companies for the lucrative colliery connections, the RhE built two branch lines from Kray to the north in 1872 . Both ran parallel to the Cöln-Minden railway line Duisburg-Dortmund without a stopover . One of them then ran south of the Cöln-Mindener route and ended at Gelsenkirchen RhE station , not even half a kilometer from Gelsenkirchen CME station. The other crossed the Cöln-Mindener route and ended at the 'Bahnhof Schalke RhE' as the siding of the Wilhelmine Victoria colliery .
1876 was halfway near the mine Dahlbusch the breakpoint Dahlbusch inaugurated, the first only served as a point of access for passengers, mostly workers from the surrounding coal mines, the mine itself was connected by the CME already on 14 August. 1859
State / Reichsbahn time
After the nationalization of all (nominally) private railway companies, the Prussian State Railways linked the routes of the individual companies with one another, and if there were duplicate connections, the less profitable ones were given up. As a result, the line from Rotthausen to Schalke was shut down in the 1880s, while the Rotthausen stop was expanded into a train station with goods handling in 1895 , and from then on also served as a tariff point for the Hibernia , Dahlbusch and Wilhelmine-Victoria collieries .
In 1898 the station was renamed Dahlbusch-Rotthausen station for the first time , followed by another name change in 1907 to Rotthausen station (Essen district) .
On September 12, 1903, freight traffic to Schalke - now Schalke Süd - was resumed, and the introduction to Rotthausen station was re-routed on December 1, 1908.
In 1904, an additional line was built from Rotthausen to Gelsenkirchen to provide a level-free entrance to the main train station. In the period that followed, the line between Essen-Kray Nord station and Gelsenkirchen was rebuilt and double-tracked by 1908.
A new station building was opened on October 22nd, 1914 after the first of 1876 was demolished. In 1924 the station was given the current name of Bahnhof Gelsenkirchen-Rotthausen .
Bundesbahn / Deutsche Bahn
At the beginning of the 1960s, the station along with the line from Essen-Kray Nord to Gelsenkirchen Hauptbahnhof was provided with overhead lines and operated electrically from May 27, 1962.
Not only the railway had turned away from coal, as a result of the coal crisis , the great "colliery death" began. At the end of the 1960s, this led to a sharp decline in freight traffic in the Ruhr area and the shutdown of many connections. Freight traffic from Rotthausen to Schalke Süd (the direct connection to the railway line in the direction of Gelsenkirchen-Hessler , bypassing Gelsenkirchen Hbf) was stopped on May 28, 1967, and was shut down on June 1, 1969.
After the station had lost most of its functions, the Deutsche Bundesbahn tore down the station building at the end of the 1970s and dismantled most of the railway facilities. In 1984 the demolition of the interlocking since Gelsenkirchen-Rotthausen is as station Part remotely set of Gelsenkirchen Central Station from there.
Before S-Bahn traffic began here in September 1991 , this station was served by local trains from Essen-Haltern (-Münster).
Now only a stop, it was opened in its current appearance on May 24, 1998. The platforms were specially converted to a height of 96 cm for S-Bahn traffic and wheelchair-friendly access was made possible.
