The train station Leer (Ostfriesland) is a through station in the city of Leer (Ostfriesland) . It has a reception building and three tracks used by passenger trains (a central platform and a house platform). A bus station, bicycle parking spaces, a taxi stand and parking spaces as well as a parking garage for cars link it to other means of transport. In addition to the passenger tracks, there are also some shunting tracks on the station premises.
history
In 1854/55, Leer received a train station for passenger traffic when the city was connected to the Hannoversche Westbahn from Emden to Rheine. The Hanoverian architect Conrad Wilhelm Hase had an influence on the planning in the years 1852 to 1855 , possibly also Adolf Funk .
A post office also initially settled in the then new building and opened the first telegraph station here. Accompanying the construction of the station between 1854 and 1856, the new Georgsdock harbor was built opposite the station, parallel to the railway , and stretched as far as the Leda. In 1862, a customs building was put into operation between the train station and the port to handle foreign trade. In 1885/86 the company moved into its own building as the “Imperial Post Office” near the station. The old post office was demolished in the 1970s as part of urban redevelopment. In addition to the train station, the former customs building , which was also used for loading freight cars , has been preserved to this day and has been used for cultural purposes since 1994.
The rail connection to Oldenburg and thus to Bremen took place on June 15, 1869 and covered 55.01 km. On November 26, 1876, the extension to Neuschanz (26 km) was put into operation.
In 1955 the central bus station (ZOB) was established. In 1992 the Leer – Oldenburg railway line was electrified.
architecture
The present, broad, symmetrical main building from 1855 consists of five parts. It was built in the arched style of historicism . The two-storey, cube-shaped buildings on the outside and in the middle are characterized by protruding corner pilaster strips made of sandstone and wide strips of sandstone and closed off by flat hipped roofs . On each floor, three arched windows on the front and rear provide the building with light. The lower intermediate buildings are single-storey on the street side, but have a second row of windows on the track side. Here, pilasters divide fields, each with two arched windows. The main entrance is in a flat porch in front of the center of the building.
In February 2014, Deutsche Bahn announced that as part of the “Lower Saxony is on the train! II “will modernize the station in summer 2014. In addition to the renovation of the two platforms and the existing underpass, the station was to be expanded by another underpass with elevators. The construction work had to be interrupted in the meantime due to various difficulties. The modernization was completed in spring 2017.
meaning
The Leeraner Bahnhof is a traffic junction. Three railway lines meet at the train station in Leer:
- The Rheine – Norddeich Mole railway line from Münster via Rheine and Papenburg to Emden (to Norddeich Mole)
- the route from Oldenburg
- the route from Leer to Groningen (Netherlands)
On the connection between Oldenburg and Emden, in contrast to all other connections, a change of direction is necessary, so that such journeys usually involve a longer stay in Leer.
Offer
InterCity trains run daily in the direction of Koblenz (via Münster, Ruhr area and Cologne) and to Berlin / Cottbus and Leipzig (via Bremen and Hanover). There are regional train connections to Münster and via Oldenburg and Bremen to Hanover.
