history

It was set up on the runway between 1880 and 1886 as a stop for the Sinsen farmers . It was only around 25 years after it was incorporated into Marl in 1926 that the station was renamed Marl-Sinsen in the early 1950s .

Between 1914 and 1977 there was a possibility to change to the trams of the Vestische Kleinbahnen or Vestische trams at the station .

There is no reception building , access to the only existing platform is via stairs or an elevator from the street underpass. The platform is currently 38 centimeters high and therefore too low for barrier-free entry to the trains that run here. As part of the modernization offensive 3 (MOF 3) co-financed by the federal and state governments, the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr announced that it was planning to increase the platform to 76 centimeters by 2023 at the latest and to modernize the equipment.

Freight transport

The station is more important for freight traffic, as the connecting line to the Auguste Victoria colliery begins here, from which the neighboring Marl Chemical Park can also be reached. Until the mine was closed in 2015, Marl-Sinsen was the transfer station for coal trains, which were transported to the Sinsen station with locomotives from the Zechenbahn and were then transferred to the DB tracks. For this purpose, there are extensive track systems west of the platforms, both in the north (transfer station of the Zechenbahn) and in the south (DB freight station).

The quartz movement at Sythen is also operated from Marl-Sinsen by Deutsche Bahn.
