The Krefeld-Uerdingen station is the local train station of the city until 1929 independent Uerdingen . It is located in the northeast of Krefeld , near the border with Duisburg , Rheinhausen district .
history
The station was put into operation on September 29, 1849 under the name Uerdingen . From October 5, 1849, the entire railway line from Uerdingen to Homberg and from 1852 to 1885 to the former Ruhrort – Homberg trajectory was used; this line was closed in 1961. Since September 1, 1866, Uerdingen was also a stop on the Osterath – Dortmund Süd railway from Meerbusch-Osterath to Essen and from 1874 to Dortmund , initially via the Rheinhausen-Hochfeld trajectory , and then from 1873 via the Duisburg-Hochfeld railway bridge .
The current station building, which is no longer in use, was erected in 1899 by the Royal Railway Direction Cologne, it replaced the first building from 1849. The listed platform cover consisted of 32 cast columns adorned with stylized floral motifs on initially square, later octagonal bases and was made by the iron foundry Johannes Wöller from Uerdingen.
The breakpoint was renamed Uerdingen (Rh) in 1927 . After the merger of the two cities of Crefeld and Uerdingen on the Rhine in 1929, the station was to be named Krefeld-Uerdingen-Rheinbahnhof (Krefeld: Krefeld-Uerdingen-Hbf ) in accordance with the joint agreement between the two cities . In 1939 it was renamed Krefeld-Uerdingen , which is still the name it has today. At the end of the 1990s, considerations began to make the station accessible for disabled people. The platform was raised by around 70 centimeters in 2009/2010. In this context, the historic platform roof had to be dismantled.
The station building, which is also listed, was empty from 2009 after it had last housed a taxi center and a pub. Existing plans by a group of investors to set up a brewery in the building were discarded in 2013. In 2017 the Tambour and Fanfarenkorps Spielfreunde Uerdingen acquired the station building as a club house.
