Railway stations in North Rhine-Westphalia

The station Herne is located at the Duisburg-Dortmund railway in downtown Herne in the Ruhr area and continues to Wanne-Eickel Hauptbahnhof the second most important railway station of the city.

history

The station was opened in 1847 together with the Cologne-Minden Railway . It was located between the former village of Herne with around 1000 inhabitants and the moated castle Strünkede . This first train station was south of the present one on Von-der-Heydt-Straße. It also served to connect the city of Bochum further south , which only got its own train station 14 years later . That is why the station was called Herne-Bochum until 1860 .

In 1866 a separate route for freight traffic was laid out between Wanne-Eickel and Henre. In 1870 a line in the direction of Herne-Rottbruch was put into operation, since 1874 there has been passenger traffic to Bochum on this line. In 1874, the colliery railway in the direction of Erin colliery was converted into a public transport route, and from 1878 passenger trains also ran here. In 1901 a line was built in the direction of Recklinghausen Süd, which was also used for passenger transport from 1945 onwards.

On the morning of January 13, 1925, the D 10 from Berlin to Cologne joined the P  230 from Dortmund to Wanne . 24 people died - two of them later in hospital - and 91 others were injured.

Investments

There are two island platforms with two platform tracks, between which the double-track freight line runs. the platforms are reached through an underpass from the station building. The northern main platform is largely covered, the narrower southern platform only in the stair area. The main platform used to be much longer than it is today, and tapered at both ends to make room for a second track, so that two trains could stop at each edge of the platform.

The station building

The current station building was built in 1914 by the Prussian State Railways . It was modernized around 1970, the dome of the reception hall was hidden behind a suspended ceiling construction, the windows were removed and the window openings bricked up. In the course of the International Building Exhibition Emscherpark , a restoration was carried out after 1990, the dome was reopened, the windows were reinstalled and the former 3rd class waiting room, which was closed until then, is reopened for special events. Since the end of 2009, a fast-food restaurant has been located in the premises of the Bummelzug restaurant, which was operated until December 2008 . There is also a sales point for baked goods in the building, as well as a glass porch on two sides on the ground floor, a book and newspaper shop and a bakery (former flower shop).

As early as 1847 there was a station building opened by the Cologne-Mindener Eisenbahn, but it was demolished in 1911 to make room for the current structure.

With the installation of elevator systems and the laying of guide strips for the blind in 2015, all platforms are barrier-free .

The individual glass windows by the Herne artist Jupp Gesing show motifs from the former Friedrich der Große colliery . You can see a harbor crane, a canal bridge, buildings and chimneys of the colliery, two headframes, cooling towers, mining dumps and colliery houses. The windows were installed in 1953. The founder was the above mine.
