The Langenhagen horse market station (until May 27, 2000 Langenhagen (Han) ) is a station opened in 1890 in the 50,000-inhabitant city of Langenhagen north of the Lower Saxony state capital Hanover . It is currently served by the S4 and S5 lines of the Hanover S-Bahn . While it was the only train station in Langenhagen in the first half of the 20th century, three neighboring train stations were built due to the increasing expansion of Langenhagen and the development of Hanover-Langenhagen Airport . After the task of the regional and long-distance traffic stop was given to the neighboring Langenhagen Mitte station, the horse market station only serves as a local traffic stop.
location
The station is located in the northern part of the Langenhagen core city. It stands on a side street away from Walsroder Straße , which forms the north-south axis of Langenhagener traffic. While there is a large industrial area on the western side , there is a larger residential area on the eastern side, where the station building is also. Since the center of Langenhagen has shifted significantly towards the south in the course of the last century, the station is also decentralized and only opens up the northern residential areas.
history
A forerunner of today's station building already existed south of the current location when the railway line opened in 1890. The construction of the railway line to Celle brought changes. The planning of a new reception building further north began as early as 1914, as the railway line was to be raised a few meters above ground level. However, construction did not begin until 1920 and was completed in 1921. The station building was built in the style of North German clinker brick architecture with the influence of the reform style. Architects are Ernst Moeller and Alexander Behnes according to the original drawings . Initially, there was space in the building for the station station, the Langenhagen railway maintenance office and some waiting rooms . Since the line to Celle was not yet in operation, the opportunity arose to use the space differently. The waiting room for the 3rd and 4th grade and later the reception hall were temporarily used by the Roman Catholic parish of Langenhagen for church services. It was not until May 15, 1938 that the station became a separation station with the start of operations on the Langenhagen – Celle line .
The Airport Hannover-Langenhagen received a siding for the freight . In 1965, electric trains first reached the station on the Hanover – Celle line. In the course of the construction of the S-Bahn at the end of the 1990s, the Hanover – Langenhagen line was expanded to include four tracks and passenger traffic began on May 28, 2000 when the S-Bahn network went into operation. A new island platform was built for the S-Bahn, while the existing platform on the tracks to and from Celle was abandoned, the entrances were bricked up and all regional train stops were relocated to Langenhagen Mitte station. At the same time, the station, previously known simply as Langenhagen , was renamed Langenhagen Horse Market , and both the reception building and the access to the platform were refurbished by financing the expansion of the S-Bahn. In the new millennium, the now listed building was minted on the commemorative coin 700 years Langenhagen . In September 2013, it passed from the ownership of Main Asset Management GmbH Deutsche Bahn to a private investor, whereby the right of way ensures access to the platforms. Comprehensive conservation measures have been carried out since 2014, as a result of which the re-accessible wings of the building are reactivated for business. Since the line was opened, the station has enabled the city to experience an economic boom.
Transport links
Before the electrification of the railway lines , the trains were driven by steam locomotives . They disappeared in the 1960s when the Hanover – Hamburg line was electrified. The Heidebahn to Buchholz (Nordheide) was not equipped with a contact wire, so that diesel locomotives also ran to the station. This traffic only ended with the electrification of the Heidebahn as far as Bennemühlen for the Hanover S-Bahn , because regional trains no longer stopped at the station. Since then it has only been served by electric S-Bahn lines.
| line | Line course |
|---|---|
| S 4 | Bennemühlen - Langenhagen Horse Market - Langenhagen Mitte - Hanover Central Station - Hanover Fair / Laatzen - Sarstedt - Hildesheim Central Station |
| S 5 | Hanover Airport - Langenhagen Horse Market - Langenhagen Mitte - Hanover Main Station - Springe - Hameln - Altenbeken - Paderborn Main Station |
A connection to the bus and rail transport of the Hannover region is not, so the station is from the rest of transport relatively isolated.
