The Hildesheim Ost train station (Ostbahnhof) at Immengarten in Hildesheim's Oststadt is a stop on the Hildesheim – Goslar railway line .

history

The station, built at the beginning of the 1870s as a train station for the Hanover-Altenbekener-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (HAE), was initially called Bahnhof am Friesentore , later after the operating company Altenbekener Bahnhof . The first freight train left him on May 19, the first passenger train on June 30, 1875 with a cruising speed of 30 km / h. The train station was necessary because the HAE was not allowed to use the state train station (today Hildesheim main train station ).

In 1880 the HAE was nationalized. After the trains started using the main station on May 20, the station was closed and all buildings except the goods shed demolished. The station building was rebuilt in Bad Lauterberg . After persistent protests from the citizens and a collection of money that raised 12,000 marks, the city council of Hildesheim made the building site available for the reconstruction along with a further 3,000 marks. The new station was opened on May 1, 1893 in the old freight shed. In 1878 the malt factory on the site of today's senior citizens' home at Immengarten, and in 1897 the Glückauf coal merchant on the corner of Immengarten and Gravelottestrasse had its own siding. During the Second World War , the Ostbahnhof was hit by bombs on February 22, 1945 and was slightly damaged. It had its own bookshop at the train station until 1963 . In 1967 a new station building was built, and in 1978 the most modern Hildesheim signal box was housed in it.

In 1988 all switches and sidings were dismantled . Since then, the Ostbahnhof has only been a stopping point . In the following period the central platform was replaced by a second side platform and connected by a pedestrian bridge over the tracks, which made the long manual barrier between the two through tracks superfluous; a ticket machine was set up for this purpose. The vacant lot created by the demolition of the station building in 1990 was closed.

The PRO BAHN passenger association has discussed the extension of the S 4 to Hildesheim Ost.
