The Höxter-Ottbergen station (until 2019 Ottbergen ) is a regional rail junction in the Ottbergen district of the city of Höxter in North Rhine-Westphalia . The station is on the Altenbeken – Kreiensen railway line , which has two tracks in the direction of Altenbeken and a single track in the direction of Kreiensen . In addition, the Ottbergen – Northeim (Sollingbahn) line branches off in Ottbergen .
history
The former station building has been demolished. The station was completely rebuilt by December 2015 and made barrier-free . The platform on track 2 was rebuilt, all three platforms were raised to 76 cm and provided with a guidance system, new shelters were built, and the stairs and crossings were rebuilt.
During the renovation, the island platform on tracks 2 and 3 and the intermediate platform on what was then track 52 were omitted. In the southern part of the station there is only one continuous track, now track 11, previously 51, which can only be used by trains to or from Bodenfelde.
In addition, a so-called co- driver system was built, which enables the railcars to be winged and coupled on the same platform . This means that the regional trains on the RB84 / 85 line have been operating in a network since December 13, 2015, making changing trains superfluous in Ottbergen. The cost was 2.8 million euros.
With the 2019/2020 timetable change on December 15, 2019, the Ottbergen train station was renamed Höxter-Ottbergen .
location
The station is located on an island between the northern Altenbeken – Kreiensen line and the southern Ottbergen – Northeim line.
Today, access is from the south side via stairs and ramps at ground level via track 11. The platform on track 2 can only be reached via the track.
The entire station is crossed under the Bahnhofstrasse in a north-south direction.
Depot
In 1878 a small locomotive station was set up in Ottbergen. A real upturn began in 1878 with the opening of the Solling Railway from Ottbergen via Bodenfelde to Northeim and on to Nordhausen . The increase in freight traffic in particular between the agglomerations on the Ruhr in the west and Nordhausen / Halle / Leipzig in the east required a constant expansion of the railway depot , whose locomotive shed had expanded to 15 stands by 1895. In 1932 the 16-meter turntable was exchanged for a 20.5-meter turntable . Small cranes with hunts were available for coaling . Intensive freight traffic was significantly reduced by the division of Germany. The locomotives of the class 44 dominated until the 1970 annual freight traffic from the Weserbergland to the resin . At the end of the 1960s , the Hanover operations department brought all the remaining 44s together in Ottbergen. At times there were up to 45 operational machines at home. After the train service on the Lehrte – Braunschweig – Helmstedt line was also electrified, steam locomotive operations ended on May 29, 1976 with the closure of the Ottbergen depot . For a while, locomotives were scrapped there. The roundhouse is preserved, the turntable removed.
Operational facilities
Until 2007, the railway systems were controlled by an interlocking. This is shut down today.
Ks signals that are remotely controlled from Göttingen have been used since October .
service
The "Hochstift tariff" of the Paderborn-Höxter local transport network , which was replaced by the Westphalian tariff on August 1, 2017 , and the NRW tariff across the tariff area apply to all local public transport .
The Ottbergen station is currently owned by two regional train lines operated since December 2015 from here winged be. One branch runs between Paderborn and Holzminden , the other goes towards Göttingen .

The RB 84 is operated by the NordWestBahn (NWB), the RB 85 was served by the DB Regio until 2013 . Up until 2013, a pair of trains also ran from Bodenfelde to Nordhausen via Northeim (Han) during the week .
In December 2013, the NordWestBahn also took over the regional railway line 85 and should then offer continuous connections from Paderborn to Kreiensen and Göttingen . For technical reasons this was not possible immediately. The regional train lines 84 and 85 are united between Paderborn and Ottbergen. The wing to Kreiensen and Göttingen has been carried out since December 13, 2015.
Buses run from Höxter-Ottbergen train station in the directions of Brakel , Höxter, Bruchhausen and Bosseborn .
Others
On the model federal railway in Brakel , the station is one of the central motifs alongside that of Bad Driburg.
