history
The station was opened on May 15, 1873 in the course of the commissioning of the runway. The brick building of the station was kept in the style of historicism. The two main parts at the gable end were two-storey, the transverse building at the eaves one and a half storey, the attached goods handling one-storey. Due to its location on the runway, its proximity to Bremen and the connection to the crossing Bremen-Thedinghauser Eisenbahn , which had existed since 1915, but whose passenger trains stopped at their own Kirchweyhe Ort station far away from the state station, the station developed into one of the largest from 1907 to 1915 Freight shunting yards in northern Germany. The railway depot of the same name comprised two roundhouse sheds with 24 parking spaces each; in 1919 a total of 88 steam locomotives were located here. The extensive facilities of the railway, which employed about half of the then 3000 inhabitants, were also decisive for the construction of a housing estate between 1919 and 1921. The economic crisis in the early 1920s and new marshalling yards in Hamburg and Bremen made it less important of the marshalling yard. In 1966 it was closed. The railway depot was closed in 1968, and the electrification of the line in 1968 meant that steam locomotives were no longer necessary. Since the 1980s, the RBS Kirchweyhe Clean - Coat - Blast GmbH has been located on part of the site , examining and refurbishing tank wagons. Part of the former northern shed is still preserved. The remaining railway systems have largely been dismantled.
In 1971 the new one was Switchboard Kf put into operation, which replaced seven existing interlocking systems.
The railway area with the station building has been owned by the Weyhe community since 2006. The station building was extensively renovated until 2011. Today u. a. the Volkshochschule of the district of Diepholz, a kiosk and a travel agency in the building. The platforms were renovated from summer 2012 and equipped for the disabled. The community hit the headlines in March 2013 after a young man was kicked to death by a group of Turkish immigrants in front of the train station. A vigil of 1000 citizens took place in front of the train station.
In December 2010 the station was integrated into the new network of the regional S-Bahn Bremen / Lower Saxony .
