The Hervest-Dorsten station is one of six tower stations in North Rhine-Westphalia . It is located in the urban area of Dorsten .

location

View from the platform above to the Fürst Leopold mine (1992)

The station is located on the northwestern edge of the Dorsten district of Hervest . It is about one and a half kilometers north of Dorsten train station . On the route from Dorsten train station to Hervest-Dorsten train station, the tracks cross the Wesel-Datteln Canal and the Lippe . The former Fürst Leopold coal mine is located directly to the east of the train station .

Until 1943, Hervest was administratively independent as part of the Hervest-Dorsten Office and was only then incorporated into Dorsten. This explains why the station does not have the name Dorsten-Hervest.

Railways

The station itself was the intersection of two adjacent, single-track main lines with another single-track main line.

The Dorsten – Coesfeld and Dorsten – Borken lines run in a north-south direction in the upper part. The disused Haltern – Wesel line in the lower part in the east-west direction was dismantled at the beginning of the 2010s. In the meantime, businesses are being settled on the former route.

Until the mid-1970s, the connection between the upper part and the lower part was ensured by a curve in the southwest corner of the intersection, directly across the station forecourt in front of the station building. For urban planning reasons, this curve was removed and replaced by a curve in the southeast corner of the route.

Haltern – Venlo railway line

The station was opened on March 1, 1874. On this day, the Wesel – Haltern connection, running through the lower part of the station in a west-east direction, went into operation. It was part of the so-called Venloer Bahn of the Cologne-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft . The Venloer Bahn formed the western part of a long-distance connection from the Dutch border near Venlo via Wesel , Münster , Osnabrück and Bremen to Hamburg . Towards the end of the 19th century, express trains ran from Münster via Wesel, Goch and Boxtel to Vlissingen , where there was a ship connection to England. With the demolition of the Wesel Rhine bridge at the end of the Second World War, the route lost all its importance for long-distance traffic. On October 1, 1962, passenger traffic between Wesel and Haltern was stopped. At the beginning of the 1990s, except for the station area, freight traffic followed. Only the section up to the Lippramsdorf substation is kept ready for possible transformer transports as a siding. Since the end of freight traffic, the lower station was only used to set up the coal trains of the Fürst Leopold mine until it was closed in 2001.

Duisburg – Quakenbrück railway line

On July 1, 1879, the "coal railway" Oberhausen-Osterfeld Nord – Coesfeld – Rheine – Quakenbrück (–Oldenburg – North Sea) of the Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft was inaugurated. The route remained relatively meaningless. Today only the regional train RB 45 Der Coesfelder operates here with diesel powered railcars of the Talent type .

Winterswijk – Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck railway line

On June 21, 1880, the Dutch-Westphalian Railway Company opened the third and last line: Winterswijk (Netherlands) –Borken – Hervest-Dorsten – Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck . Here, too, it was about coal removal, this time to the Netherlands, primarily to Amsterdam. Today only the regional express RE 14 Der Borkener runs via Hervest-Dorsten between Borken and Essen.

building

At the end of the 19th century, after the transition to the state railway system, a stop was set up at the intersection of the three lines . The station was given its current appearance in 1908. The new station building began its service in the southwest corner of the crossroads. Opposite him, in the northwest corner, was the imposing dispatcher interlocking "Hdf" until 2007. The reception building has not been used as such for a long time. Since 1983 it has served the Free Christian Community of Dorsten as a parish hall. The outside was plastered and insulated in 2010.

Linking with other means of transport

Near the train station are the stops Frühförderstelle on Bismarckstraße and Paul-Spiegel-Berufskolleg of the Vestische trams . These are served by some bus routes ( early intervention center : SB26, 276, 295, AST ; Paul-Spiegel-Berufskolleg : 274, NE8), which connect it to the surrounding districts of Hervest and Holsterhausen as well as the city center ( ZOB ).
