The wages (Westphalia) Station - just wages (Westphalia) - is the train station of the city of wages in the northeastern North Rhine-Westphalia . It is on the Hamm – Minden railway line , which is part of the Magistrale projected by Friedrich Harkort from Berlin via Hanover to Cologne .
In Löhne, the railway line branches off via Osnabrück to Rheine (part of the Hanoverian West Railway to Emden ) and the railway line via Hameln to Elze (and on to Hildesheim), as a result of which the station was an important rail hub in northwest Germany for a long time as a transfer and marshalling station .
history
Until the middle of the 20th century , the station was a hub in passenger, but above all in freight traffic in north-west Germany. This is where the lines of the Cologne-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (opened in 1847), the Royal Hanover State Railways (opened in 1855) and the Hanover-Altenbekener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (Löhne-Hildesheim- Vienenburg , opened in 1875) meet.
For many years long-distance trains crossed here from Berlin via Hanover and Cologne to Paris and from Amsterdam via Osnabrück and Hildesheim to Central Germany. The extensive railway systems were built with numerous tunnels and overpasses in such a way that the two main lines could be crossed without crossing. Today, an independent operator is Hamm-Minden railway and the railway Elze wages and the Löhne-Rheine railway possible. Individual trips on the Weser Railway to Bünde make use of this option and are reminiscent of the formerly important main connection.
The former marshalling yard has been demolished, but a use of the abandoned area has not yet been found, so that the passengers here are presented with a not very attractive gravel landscape. The location of the site is generally viewed as difficult to use, as it is between the railway lines to Bielefeld and Osnabrück and is therefore difficult to access. In May 2017, the planning committee of the city of Löhne unanimously decided to apply for participation in the NRW area pool in order to determine which development opportunities the fallow area offers for commercial settlements or other uses. This is a project by the NRW railway area development company .
His former meaning has lost the station today and is only a regional station of Category 4 .
The station building with an exterior made of exposed brick was sold in 2013 in private hands. With the newly founded association "Löhne umstieg - Der Bahnhof eV", the owners are campaigning for a sustainable concept for the use of the station building. After re-opening of the sanitary facilities in the station already events were in the old waiting room of the first class instead. The association is also planning to found a cooperative and to move shops into the station concourse, such as a bakery and a bookstore.

The station has a private ticket agency , a kiosk operated by a taxi company and a local branch of the railway welfare organization . In addition, a new P + R car park was opened in 2011 on the south side of the station . The Bahnpost building , which had been vacant for years, was demolished for this purpose . Two new parking areas were also built to the west of the station building on Bünder Straße.
In the future there are plans to build a bike station with 200 spaces for bicycles and e-bikes and an integrated bicycle workshop in the old baggage tunnel of the train station .
Works of art
The lead glazing of the windows above the main entrance comes from the artist Horst Bohatschek and bears the title "Four Elements". The commissioned work was inaugurated on April 26, 1991 after the waiting hall had been renovated . The mural painting "Seconds to the clock" around the station clock was designed by the painter Heinrich Vollmer.
Others
The station achieved literary significance in Erich Maria Remarque's work “ Nothing New in the West ”: During a drill in the barracks in preparation for the First World War , soldiers have to crawl under their beds when given the command to “change wages”. The station forecourt with the central bus station has therefore been called "Erich-Maria-Remarque-Platz" since the redesign in the 1990s.
