The Marburg (Lahn) train station is on route kilometer 104.3 of the Main-Weser Railway in the north-east of Marburg and is frequented by around 12,000 people every day.
Surname
Officially, the station is called Marburg (Lahn) . Analogous to the designation Marburg Südbahnhof for the Marburg Süd stop , the inner-city designation Marburg Hauptbahnhof is used more frequently. From its opening in 1850 to the opening of the Südbahnhof in 1897, the station was called Marburg / Lahn . He was then up to the closure of the Marburger circular path and the associated dismantling of the South Station to the stop 2005 Central Station . Hence this name has been preserved. The bus station at Marburg train station also bears the name Hauptbahnhof .
history
The station was completed with the construction of the Main-Weser-Bahn in 1850 and, due to the routing, was located outside the built-up area of the city on the other side of the Lahn .
Since 1903 the Marburg tram ended at the station . At first it was a horse-drawn tram that was converted to electrical operation in 1911. After the Second World War , it was decided not to continue operating and the tram ceased operations in 1951. A short time later, the Marburg trolleybus , which replaced the tram, was opened. This was finally also discontinued in 1968.
remodeling
The reception building, traffic station and the area around the station were redesigned from 2009 to 2015 for a total of eleven million euros. Among other things, the station forecourt was calmed down and reached by the fact that traffic between the city center and Neuer Kasseler Strasse no longer flows directly in front of the station building, but uses Ernst-Giller-Strasse. Service facilities were built on the upper floors of the station. Construction work on the reception building began on December 3, 2009 and should be completed by the end of 2011. In October 2010 the groundbreaking ceremony took place for the work on the station forecourt, where in the first construction phase the adjacent traffic routing was changed until the end of 2011. The entire project was completed in spring 2015 and the official inauguration took place on May 22nd.
Award
The station was named Station of the Year 2015 by the Pro Schiene Alliance in August 2015 .
Buildings
The first station building , opened in 1850, came from Julius Eugen Ruhl . At that time it was the largest reception building in Kurhessen . In 1907 it was replaced by a building designed by the architect Alois Holtmeyer as part of an expansion of the station . After this was badly damaged in World War II, its outer neo-baroque shape was largely restored after the war.
In 2004, the station was equipped with digital display boards on the platforms and in the reception building and declared a smoke-free station. From 2011 the station was extensively renovated.
The former depot was in the south-east of the station. These included various brick buildings built around 1890, including a roundhouse , which are still there today. The former carriage hall is now used as a cultural center.
The station building and the other high-rise buildings of the station are today mostly cultural monuments according to the Hessian Monument Protection Act .
meaning
The Marburg train station is looked after by the railway subsidiary DB Station & Service AG and classified in category 3 (regional node with possible long-distance traffic stops ). The railway describes the services in this station category with main stations mostly in medium-sized cities, with service offers until the evening. Permanent customer care by DB employees is waived for reasons of cost.
The station is served by various city bus routes of the city of Marburg . In addition, the local bus station is the start and end point for numerous overland lines.
To the north-east of the passenger station is the disused freight yard , which consisted of a small marshalling yard ( waste mountain with four short shunting tracks) and the former loading tracks to the north of it.

The station has six platform tracks. The trains that run continuously on the Main-Weser-Bahn stop at tracks 4 and 5, while the Burgwaldbahn trains , which run from Marburg to Frankenberg (Eder) and the Oberen Lahntalbahn to Erndtebrück , stop at tracks 1, 2 and 8 . Track 1a is used specifically for trains that start in Marburg and head towards Gießen / Frankfurt.

- ↑ This led to the nickname “Champagne train station” because allegedly some of the landowners profiting from this location are said to have persuaded those responsible for the railway construction to position the station accordingly over a champagne breakfast. The anecdote is thoroughly examined and refuted by Hussong: "No champagne station" .
