The Kreiensen station is a wedge station in Kreiensen in Lower Saxony and, along with the Einbeck-Salzderhelden and Einbeck Mitte stations and the Einbeck Otto-Hahn-Straße stop, is one of the four stations in the city of Einbeck .
history
The first train station in the town of Kreiensen, located in the Braunschweig region, was established in 1854. It consisted of a station building, ancillary building and goods shed, as well as an extension of ancillary facilities. It became too narrow when the Altenbeken – Kreiensen railway line was added in 1865. In 1866 the Braunschweig – Bad Harzburg railway , which came from the Duchy of Braunschweig , and the Vienenburg – Goslar railway were also connected, so that in 1886 construction of the new station building began. Reliefs of the Braunschweig lion on the east side and a Prussian eagle on the west side reflect the common use between Hanover and Braunschweig - directly to the north and south was the Prussian province of Hanover since 1866 . Builder Richard Herzig had 35,000 yellow and red facing bricks and 110,000 backing bricks delivered.
Since the rails separated two locations in Kreiensen, a pedestrian bridge was built. It was designed according to Max Möller's construction concept with fish belly-shaped support ribs with spans of 124 m and 58 m.
In 1923 there was a rear-end collision between two trains in night traffic , killing 47 people.
On November 19, 1956, the world's first track plan signal box was installed here by Siemens, for which a new building was erected south of the reception building. It could take over the tasks of six old-type signal boxes. Two dispatchers each served one half of the wedge station, which were only connected on the south side by three tracks. On 13 November 2011, from which was operating center remote Hannover electronic interlocking commissioned.
In 2014 the platforms and roofs were renovated.
With the timetable change in December 2018, Kreiensen station was transformed from an IC to an ICE stop with four ICE stops.
Reception building
According to plans by Hubert Stier , the station building was built between 1886 and 1889 for the Hannöversche Südbahn . This building from the Wilhelminism era is a brick building, the facades of which are clad with tiles. Other types of shaped stone can be found in arched profiles and cornices. Formal design elements are only used sparingly on the facades. The cladding with ocher-colored ceramic tiles ends with various terracotta reliefs on the pillars. The base and cornices are made of sandstone. Due to its external monumentality, the building does not take up the appearance of the place, but its importance as a railway junction. Inside, a prince's room was built in which there was a meeting between Otto von Bismarck and Tsar Alexander III in 1889 . (Russia) came. 1959 the station scenes from Charkow in the Stalingrad filming Dogs, Do You Want to Live Forever by Frank Wisbar at the Kreiensen station. The reception building and its passage between the east and west side is clearly visible.
A private auction from DB Station & Service took place in September 2016.
Investments
The station is designed as a wedge station. There are only connections between the two routes in the south of the station. The route to Altenbeken crosses the Hannöversche Südbahn in the south on an overpass. The west side of the south runway has the house platform and an island platform, which can be reached through an underpass with stairs and elevator. The east side has the house platform and an intermediate platform that is reached at the same level. There are also three head tracks to the north towards Seesen, one of which has a platform today.
There are also through tracks without a platform and side tracks. Many side tracks have now been closed and some of them dismantled.
Kreiensen East
To the east of the station was the station building of the Osterode – Kreiensen district railway, which opened in 1899 . This track was designed in a 750 mm track. There were two trolley pits and a loading platform between the standard and narrow-gauge tracks. There was a platform at the two-story entrance building, from there a pedestrian bridge led to the state train station. In 1943 a three-rail track was laid to Kalefeld. The standard gauge unthreaded shortly before the narrow-gauge station and led directly into the standard gauge section of the station. The narrow-gauge operation was discontinued in 1963, the standard-gauge track to Kalefeld was still served until 2007, then traffic was discontinued due to track flushing. A remnant piece still serves as a pull-out track today. The station building and the locomotive shed were demolished, and a former bus shed on the site has fallen into disrepair.
business
The operation includes freight and passenger trains. The station serves as a transfer station. It is approached by the Deutsche Bahn , the NordWestBahn and the Metronom Eisenbahngesellschaft for passenger transport , and also by the Ilmebahn for shunting purposes . It is also a bus station in the Southern Lower Saxony transport association . Except for a few ICE trains, only local trains stop.
Formerly, the station was also an important station in long-distance traffic and a hub for luggage and mail traffic. In the north of the station area there is a transshipment hall that still exists today.
In freight traffic, the station has been a marshalling yard for the wooden block trains to and from Langelsheim and Stadtoldendorf, which run at regular intervals, since the beginning of 2018. The destinations of these wooden trains are usually: Augsburg, Wörgl, Wismar, Bad Kleinen, Ingolstadt and Plauen / Vogtl.
