The Haguenau station ( German station Hagenau ; French Gare de Haguenau ) is the station of the Alsatian town of Haguenau in the Bas-Rhin department . It is located on the main line between Wissembourg and Strasbourg and is the starting point of the railway lines that used to lead to Falck-Hargarten , Steinbourg and Mannheim .
location
Local situation
Haguenau train station is on the western edge of Haguenau's old town . The station forecourt is called Place Désiré Brumbt , named after the former Haguenau mayor Désiré Brumbt (1935–1959). The local bus station is also located on the station forecourt .
Railway lines
The Haguenau– Rœschwoog - Rastatt line , which is both part of the Steinbourg – Rastatt railway and part of the Baden Rheinbahn , leaves the station as an extension of the route from Saverne , so it does not cross the Strasbourg – Wissembourg line, but rather passes under it south of Haguenau .
The Haguenau – Falck-Hargarten railway line , which today only exists as far as Niederbronn-les-Bains , follows the former line to Steinbourg to the north for just under 4 kilometers.
Directly north of the Haguenau train station, the line to Wissembourg branches off from the other two lines in a northeastern direction .
history

Haguenau's first train station was built in 1855 on the Vendenheim – Wissembourg railway line when the Vendenheim – Haguenau section was opened on July 18, 1855 . The Haguenau– Wissembourg section followed on October 23 of the same year. The construction costs of this route amounted to 1.1 million marks. The second track was built in 1871.
The Haguenau – Niederbronn section of the Haguenau – Falck – Hargarten line was opened on December 19, 1864, followed by the Sarreguemines (Saargemünd) – Béning section on December 16, 1865 and Béning– Carling (Karlingen) on May 1, 1866 . The extension of this line from Niederbronn via Bitche (Bitsch) to Saargemünd went into operation on December 8, 1869. With the section from Carling - Falck-Hargarten - Thionville (Diedenhofen) opened on May 1, 1882 , this line was put into operation over its entire length. This made Haguenau a hub station .
On November 1, 1881 in the neighboring station Schweighouse the route Obermodern -Schweighouse connected - from Germany first single track opened - which was helpful also for the status as a hub.
In 1892 the Haguenau train station was replaced by a new building.
The Haguenau - Rœschwoog - Rastatt line was built by Germany on May 1, 1895 as a strategic line as part of the Baden Rhine Railway , but was only rebuilt as a single track shortly after the Second World War . Since then, four different railway lines have touched Haguenau. The last freight train on the French section of the strategic line ran on June 2, 1991, passenger traffic was initially stopped on August 23, 1938 and resumed in May 1942. After the Rhine bridge was blown up in January 1945, it was finally shut down.
In 1944 the Haguenau train station was destroyed by armed conflict. After the war, the station building was rebuilt. The current building dates from 1950.
Reception building
The present reception building of the Haguenau train station dates from 1950. The building now houses a bistro and several SNCF ticket machines .
Track and platform systems
The Haguenau station now has a total of 10 tracks, of which only four have a platform. The platform tracks are as Voie A to Voie D , respectively. They are located on a house platform and two central platforms . The trains on the Wissembourg-Strasbourg route run almost exclusively in both directions from the house platform ( Voie A ), the trains beginning and ending in Haguenau from track D. Trains to and from Niederbronn use track C. Tracks E to J serve regional trains as siding .
In September 2017, a barrier-free transition for pedestrians was opened, which leads to the central platforms and across the tracks to the other side of the station to the parking lot there.
business
On the (Strasbourg–) Vendenheim – Wissembourg route, there are mostly TER Alsace regional express trains (occasionally also regional trains ) on route 33 , which are supplemented by regional trains between Haguenau and Strasbourg. Between Haguenau and Strasbourg there is a 30-minute cycle during rush hour on weekdays, and usually an imprecise 2-hour cycle to Wissembourg.
Moreover, operated all year on weekends and public holidays , a pair of trains of Deutsche Bahn and SNCF in cooperation as Strasbourg-Express in relation Strasbourg -Haguenau- Wissembourg - winds (Pfalz) - Landau (Pfalz) Hbf - Neustadt (Weinstr) Hbf to Haguenau Station . Trains from the SNCF series Alstom Coradia A TER X 73500 (analogous to DB series 641, also known as whale ) are used as train material .
Between Niederbronn and Haguenau, up to seven pairs of trains run daily under the sponsorship of TER Alsace , some of them are tied through to Strasbourg . These trains are run under the line designation "5". With bus support, regular service is ensured, most of which continue to Bitche.
In 2018, over 1.6 million travelers used the station.
