from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BW

The Nordbahnhof is a former train station in Kaiserslautern at Gabelsbergerstraße 9. Today there is a residence of the Lebenshilfe Westpfalz in the building , which is not open to the public.

history

The station was opened in 1874 when the Kaiserslautern – Enkenbach railway was built. Initially there were small waiting halls here until today's station building was built in 1880. At times it also served as a freight station.

From 1916 to 1921 the Kaiserslautern tram also stopped at the station. During the Second World War , the area around the station was bombed. A large part of the system remained almost undamaged.

In the 1990s it was planned to integrate the north station into the Kaiserslautern model . However, the concept was never implemented. However, there are plans to build a new stopping point at the railway bridge over Friedensstrasse one kilometer south in the long term. In October 2016, an inclusive home of Lebenshilfe Westpfalz was opened in the building , which also has its own swimming pool.

building

Much of the building has been preserved to this day. The old front is still visible today, especially towards the railway line, but the building on the street side has since been renovated and significantly redesigned.
