The Nordstemmen Station is a Keilbahnhof and is located in Nordstemmen on the railway lines Hannover-Göttingen and Hildesheim wages . It has the station number 4581 and it was classified in category 5 by Deutsche Bahn in 2014.
The by Conrad Wilhelm Hase built 1853-1854 reception building is from the since 1977 the German Federal Railways and then by the Deutsche Bahn AG no longer used and has since not kept longer repaired. In the years 2011 to 2013, the Hildesheim building contractor Dirk Bettels tried in vain to acquire the listed reception building with promised public funds and to renovate it true to the original.
location
The Hanover – Göttingen railway is one of the busiest railway lines in Lower Saxony. Nordstemmen station is on the Hanover – Göttingen railway line and on the Hildesheim – Löhne railway line , which runs between Nordstemmen and Elze on the Hanover – Göttingen railway line. The Hannöversche Südbahn from Hanover via Nordstemmen to Alfeld had been open since May 1, 1853, and the line from Nordstemmen to Hildesheim was opened on September 15, 1853 by the Hannoversche Staatsbahn . After the opening of the Weserbahn from Elze to Löhne by the Hanover-Altenbekener Eisenbahn (HAE) on May 19, 1875 for freight traffic and on June 30, 1875 for passenger traffic, there were continuous trains Hildesheim-Hameln-Löhne. For this purpose, the HAE had laid a second track between Elze and Hildesheim. On January 1st, 1880, this line became the property of the Prussian state, which had owned the Hanover state railway lines since 1866. From the Nordstemmen station, a railway line ran past Rössing and through the town of Lauenstadt to the Calenberger mill near Schulenburg. The Nordstemmen sugar factory, founded in 1865, was also connected to Nordstemmen station with its own tracks.
In 1896, the plan is a 22.3 km long was Kleinbahn in meter gauge of Nordstemmen over Barnten , Schulenburg Adensen , Haller castle, Alferde, Eldagsen and Alvesrode to Jump to create, which would serve both the passenger as well as freight traffic. The small train was supposed to transport 100,000 travelers and 30,000 tons of goods (including sugar beets for the Nordstemmen sugar factory) annually. The construction of the small train failed due to objections from the city of Eldagsen and its farmers, who did not want a railway in their urban area.
After the opening of the Hanover – Würzburg high-speed line, which ran on a different railway line, in 1991, the continuous passenger traffic at Nordstemmen station had decreased significantly. Today, metronom (ME) trains run every hour on the Hanover – Göttingen route , and there are up to 240 freight trains as well as some DB AG intercity trains that run through Nordstemmen station. NordWestBahn trains run hourly on the Hildesheim – Hameln line .

With the exception of nightly hours, the Nordstemmen station is served every hour by trains of the metronom railway company and the NordWestBahn . In 2006, the Bahn AG speaks of around 2,500 local and long-distance travelers who use the Nordstemmen station every day.
railway station
History of the station
The station was built north of the then farming village of Nordstemmen on the road to Rössing . The tracks in the direction of Elze passed west of the village. To the south of the station area there were four barrier-free level crossings in 1853, which enabled access to the Auewald Nordstemmer Holz to the west and from there to Schulenburg via a line bridge that no longer exists today. The current district road K 505 to Adensen was only built in 1935.
The Nordstemmen station was initially a through station for the Hannöversche Südbahn, which opened on May 1, 1853, from Hanover via Nordstemmen to Alfeld. As a result of the additional construction of the railway line from Nordstemmen to Hildesheim, which was opened by the Royal Hanoverian State Railways on September 15, 1853 , the station became a separation station in the form of a wedge station , which was located on an island because there was no direct access to the road . At that time, the railway also transported checked baggage, freight, letter post, parcel post and telegrams in addition to passengers. In 1853, the advantage of an island station was seen in the fact that all trains next to the station building could stop at a single central platform and that luggage could be reloaded between the station building and the trains without crossing the tracks.
In 1853, the station consisted of various buildings surrounded by tracks. Access to the station was via the tracks and was cordoned off by a drawbar; next to it stood a station guard's house. The passengers could continue to their destination in a carriage from the train station.
The station was expanded with numerous buildings. He was an important employer for Nordstemmen. In 1878 a manager, a money collector, a trainee (called a dietician), three telegraph operators, a warehouse supervisor, two wagon masters, two load masters, a porter, seven shunting masters and an assistant worked at this station.
Nordstemmen owned five sheep stables and was the destination of sheep farmers and sheep traders who even traveled by train from Holland to stay overnight and buy or sell sheep. There were brick cattle boxes at the loading ramp of the station. When their doors were pulled up, the sheep ran from there over walkways directly into the wagons.
In 1870 the tracks were crossed in the north by the level crossing to the sugar factory and in the south by the level crossing to Marienbergstrasse. In 1871, an ice cellar was built on the east side of the track system for station catering.
Numerous railway workers took up residence in Nordstemmen, and the farming village was expanded towards the station.
In the north of the reception building, in the wedge between the tracks, is the former coach house for King George V of Hanover's railway saloon car. The saloon cars drove side by side from the north through various gates into the coach house; on the south side were the rooms for the guards. This carriage house has been preserved. It is used for an office of the Deutsche Bahn AG and has a parking lot on the north side of the building with an access to the L 410.
Between 1905 and 1908 an elongated shed was built in the south of the station area instead of a truck shed located there, which was used in the north for express delivery and in the south for mail. This coach house has been preserved and is a listed building. At the end of the 20th century, the northern area of the building was initially used to sell tickets and then as a waiting room until the Remise was completely closed. Since 2007 the Remise has been located in the railway area that is no longer accessible to the public. In 2012 and 2013, the Remise was renovated as part of the QuAsS qualification measure (qualification and work instead of social benefits) and converted into a workshop for the renovation of the reception building.
Until 1914, this coach house and the reception building were accessible from the main road through a level crossing secured with a barrier, which was south of the coach house. Since 1914 there was a tunnel next to it, which enabled safe access to the coach house, the toilet building and the reception building.
Until around 1970, the business center of Nordstemmen was on Hauptstrasse (Landesstrasse L 410), after which it was relocated to the center of the village and to the southeast of Nordstemmen through new development areas.
Between 1961 and 1963, the catenary masts for the electrification of the north-south line were erected in Nordstemmen. Electric train operations began on May 26, 1963 from Hanover Central Station to Eichenberg and on May 29, 1965 from Nordstemmen via Hildesheim to Lehrte.
In 1980 up to 420 trains per day passed through the station. This resulted in long waiting times at the railroad gates. In order to make these railway barriers superfluous, a railway overpass for the district road K 505 to Adensen and a pedestrian tunnel for the southern access to the station area were completed between 1981 and 1982.
The station area was rebuilt in 2006 for 3.8 million euros. The new platforms on tracks 1, 2 and 3 are 76 centimeters high and 190 meters long, while the platform on track 11 is 55 centimeters high over a length of 90 meters. This means that the platforms correspond to the vehicles used on the respective routes and allow comfortable and handicapped-accessible entry and exit in modern local transport vehicles. The platforms were given a new floor covering with tactile guide strips for the blind, transparent weather protection houses and modern equipment with benches, showcases and waste bins. New loudspeaker systems and lighting, radio clocks, train destination displays and a new guidance system complete the renovation. The station has ramps for the disabled and the tunnel leads to the main road . The eastern platform with tracks 12 and 13 was left open, track 13 and all other side tracks in the east were removed. In parallel to the construction work by Deutsche Bahn, the municipality of Nordstemmen built a park-and-ride facility , a bicycle parking facility and a bus stop for around 4.3 million euros on the area of the former freight train tracks on the main road . A pedestrian tunnel leads from the car park to the platforms. The state subsidy for this measure was around € 3 million. The state contributed around 5.5 million euros to the total investment costs of over eight million euros.
At the entrance to the station there is a monument made of railroad tracks and wheels, which the Nordstemmer Heinz Krummland provided; the costs were covered by donations.
Since December 2014, an information board at the entrance to the train station has been reminding of the shared history of the reception building and Marienburg Castle, which were designed and built jointly by the architect Conrad Wilhelm Hase and therefore form an ensemble . The information board was designed by Nordstemmen's local home nurse Adelheid Berker; the costs were covered by donations.
From the end of February 2015, Deutsche Bahn AG renewed the overhead lines in Nordstemmen station. The pile driving took place at night between March 2nd and April 23rd, 2015. The masts were erected and the overhead lines installed by the end of 2015.
Terrible experience at the train station in 1944
“When the terrible Second World War was drawing to a close in 1944, I had a terrible experience as a learner driver at Nordstemmen station. I was standing on the platform with my friends to wait for a connecting train. A freight train arrived, which for some reason had to stop at the station. Soldiers with steel helmets and rifles jumped out to guard the train. A terrible sight got under my skin: There were people in the guarded freight cars! The red, closed freight wagons had small ventilation flaps at the top, and behind these there were faces, emaciated, serious faces with large dark eyes. But it was quiet, no human sound could be heard from the wagons, only the sad faces, huddled against the ventilation flaps, could be seen. With a whistle, the freight train full of dead silent people started moving north again. The soldiers jumped up, the faces disappeared. I froze in shock. I looked at deaths in the eye. I could not explain the observation to myself, but I suspected something terrible. I didn't talk to anyone about the experience. It was not possible to ask anyone to solve a military secret. But this was one of the many trains that brought prisoners from other concentration camps to Bergen-Belsen at this time . Towards the end of the war, thousands were crammed into the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp , where they died of starvation and deathly ill. But I learned this explanation of the puzzling observation much later. "
Entrance building by Conrad Wilhelm Hase from 1854
The station building in Nordstemmen was built from 1853 to 1854 first by the building inspector Bahr and then by the architect Julius Rasch based on a design by the architect Conrad Wilhelm Hase . At the time, Julius Rasch was the building manager of the Hanover Railway Directorate . Günther Kokkelink writes about him: “Julius Rasch is of particular importance as an architect of the Hanover School , who did not make the transition from the arched style to the neo-Gothic style abruptly, but in a process. He developed a special kind of transitional style that merged the peculiarities of both stylistic manifestations. "( Günther Kokkelink , Monika Lemke-Kokkelink :)
Conrad Wilhelm Hase planned the entrance building based on the medieval brick Romanesque and brick Gothic in the style of romantic historicism . He used visible multi-colored bricks with the primary colors red and yellow. The floor plan of the building is symmetrical in the longitudinal and transverse axes.
A wide single-storey central building with a gable roof on a rectangular floor plan is bounded in the north and south by larger multi-storey corner pavilions with a tent roof on a square floor plan. The front of the two corner pavilions has protruding 12-meter-high glare gables , which are surrounded by corner pillars and tower-like over the gable. Overall, the station building has a length of 63.38 m, a width of 15.80 m, a floor area of 1,080 m² and a construction volume of 12,000 m³.
Conrad Wilhelm Hase used the neo- Romanesque arched style and Romanesque decorative columns for the windows on the ground floor, and segmental arches on the upper floors that represent the transition to the neo-Gothic style. He placed high, ornate chimneys on the roofs, which dominated the side of the building. As decorative elements for the facades, he chose plait-like shaped bricks that wind around the windows, wickerwork on square brick slabs under the windows and sandstone surrounds on the windows of the central building. It surrounded the station building with a canopy supported by cast-iron supports. Since these free-standing roof racks hindered the traffic of the trolleys, they were removed from the long sides of the reception building after 1945; they are still preserved at the front.
In the manual for special railway technology from 1877, the station building is described as follows:
“The reception building at the station of Nordstemmen of the Hanoverian Railway , the floor plan of which is shown in Fig. 3, panel XLVI, is located in the middle of an island barrier and is surrounded on all sides by a pent roof on pillars that covers the platform . Open lobbies on the long sides provide access to the waiting rooms to avoid drafts. The halls protrude above the platform roof and have sidelight above it. The corner pavilions are two-story and on the ground floor contain the service rooms for the railroad and post office, ticket and luggage expedition for the not insignificant local traffic and rooms for noblemen, on the first floor service apartments. The building contains 975m² of built-up area and cost 44,300 thalers . , hence the square meter about 45½ thalers. = 136.5 Mk . "
When the military maneuvers of the X Federal Army Corps took place in the vicinity of the station from September 12 to 23, 1858 , the field post expedition stood in front of the station and there were six stagecoaches with twelve horses waiting for their passengers. During this time, King George V of Hanover lived with the royal family in the necessary rooms in the reception building. The Neue Hannoversche Zeitung No. 417 of Tuesday, September 7, 1858, writes: “ For His Majesty the King and the Most High Royal Family, who will reside in Hanover during the Concentration , the necessary premises are to be closed in the station building at Nordstemmen be kept ready for a temporary stay. “This was the reason for the renovation of the reception building for use by Georg V of Hanover. Between 1857 and 1858, Conrad Wilhelm Hase converted the three eastern rooms with their own access in the southern corner pavilion, which had previously been used by the railway post, as reception rooms for the royal family and added a buffet in the first and second class waiting room for the court. This made the station a royal receiving station. It forms a building ensemble with Marienburg Castle . Proof that these reception rooms existed for the royal family is the floor plan of the reception building , which Adolf Funk , the construction manager of the Hanover Railway Directorate, published later in 1861, when these rooms were already completed. The rooms for the king and queen are entered on this floor plan (see illustration). However, the floor plan of the reception building from 1877 was republished with reversed lettering. This raises the question of which corner pavilion of the symmetrical building the reception rooms for the royal family were set up in, which is important for a restoration.
The ground floor of the southern corner pavilion was intended for the residence of the royal family. The station buildings in Hanover and in Salzderhelden also contained rooms for the royal family, which were later available to the emperor when he traveled by train. A long entrance hall stretched in the middle of the Nordstemmen reception building. On the left, on the west side, there were two rooms for the post office, the stairs to the first floor and the entrance to the restaurant. On the right, on the east side, three rooms were reserved for the king and his receptions. Beyond that were two rooms for the queen and her daughters. From the queen's back room and from the restaurant one came into the first and second class waiting room, which was located in the elongated central station building. The king's court stayed here.
At the back of this first and second class waiting room was the buffet with the kitchen, to the right and left of it you came to the platforms and to the third waiting room. Great who had their own simple buffet. The northern station building contained the public and service areas of the railway on the ground floor and first floor; The railway's service rooms were also on the first floor of the southern station building. The toilets were located to the south and north of the station building. The neo-Gothic furniture from the king's rooms was later brought to the Marienburg for safekeeping. It is not known whether it is still there; much of the furniture stored there was burned, sold, or auctioned.
King George V of Hanover left the train with his court in Nordstemmen when he wanted to go to Marienburg. He traveled in a three-axle railway saloon carriage designed by Eduard JH Witte in 1853 , which was richly decorated on the outside with coats of arms, medals, initials and royal crowns. The carriage shed ( called Wagenschoppen ) served as a storage hall for this saloon car of the royal family. The facade of the carriage shed built between 1853 and 1854 and one of the tracks running into it on the north side are still visible even after the conversion work into an office building for Deutsche Bahn AG .
The station building was surrounded by platforms and tracks from the start. Since 1904 at the latest, there was another platform on both sides of the reception building on the other side of the adjacent track, which could only be reached via the track in front of it.
After 1945, a train station restaurant was built in the former rooms of the first and second class waiting rooms; To this end, extensive renovation work was carried out, in the course of which two new side entrances were created, which provided access to the toilets and the restaurant. Therefore this waiting room is 1st and 2nd class in contrast to waiting room III. Class no longer original in its architecture. The station restaurant was managed by Heinrich Voss and later by August Theodor Osten. Contemporary witnesses report that this station restaurant was full of smoke from the stopping steam locomotives and that the glasses on the tables vibrated when freight trains drove past the station building. This restaurant existed until 1975.
In 1977 the Deutsche Bundesbahn moved its offices to the Elzer Bahnhof. After that, the station building was no longer needed and closed to passengers in 1988. The inventory, the windows and the original glazing are no longer there.
In 2000, the distinctive chimneys that shaped the image of the reception building were removed due to the risk of collapse. The windows and doors were screwed with chipboard to prevent vandalism. In July 2001 a fire broke out in the central part of the reception building. Parts of the roof structure were destroyed.
In 2002 and 2003 the building was examined from a static point of view and for damage. It turned out that the state of preservation of the building had deteriorated considerably due to the spread of the real dry rot in the roof and the other parts of the wooden structure; almost the entire building is affected. Then the previously closed windows were fitted with grilles, the ceilings at risk of collapse were supported and the roof was re-covered. Because no buyers could be found for the listed station building, Deutsche Bahn AG applied to the Hanover Federal Railway Authority (EBA) for demolition in summer 2005. After the demolition, according to the Deutsche Bahn AG, a modern, modern railway station will be built there.
Former plans for re-use
Since 2005 there have been plans to renovate the entrance building and turn it into a museum memorial for the builder Conrad Wilhelm Hase. The Heimatbund Niedersachsen (HBN) suggested the presentation of the life's work of Conrad Wilhelm Hase and a railway history presentation of the development of the Royal Hanoverian State Railways . The House of Hanover is considering including the royal reception station in a new marketing concept. This means that the train station could be reinterpreted in its historical reception function for today's train travelers who want to visit Marienburg Castle .
The Heimatbund Niedersachsen supports these plans, and the Niedersächsische Heimatbund (NHB) included the reception building in the Red Map 2005 under the number 307/05 and in the Red Map 2006 under the number 308/05. The Lower Saxony state government replied in its 2006 White Folder . The Federation of Homeland and Environment in Germany (BHU) made the historic train stations in Germany the Monuments of the Year 2006 to highlight the special importance of historic train stations.
The Hannoversche architect Kleine, commissioned by the Deutsche Bahn AG, calculated the costs of securing / repairing the building fabric to be in the order of 900,000 €. This would eliminate all static problems, completely renew the roof and achieve a safe condition for people to stay in and around the building. The costs for interior work have not yet been determined.
Calculations by Deutsche Bahn for the demolition costs of the reception building according to DIN standard 276 amount to around 630,000 euros. There was a declaration of intent from Deutsche Bahn AG, which has since been revoked, to contribute the demolition costs of € 600,000 estimated by the Federal Railway Authority to a renovation if it is used and the remaining financing is found. In May 2007, Deutsche Bahn AG stated in a conversation that the demolition costs would only come to around 230,000 euros and that the demolition costs could in no way be invested in a maintenance measure. The Kultur- und Heimatverein Nordstemmen doubts this estimate of the demolition costs incurred because, in its opinion, the cost of disposing of the beams infected with dry rot in a hazardous waste dump alone could amount to 200,000 euros.
In view of the particular problems in Nordstemmen, Deutsche Bahn AG was given the prospect of a six-figure subsidy from state funds for the preservation of monuments for security measures in 1999. This offer is maintained by the state to prevent the demolition. In order to secure the overall financing for the restoration of the reception building, in addition to state funds and funds from the German Foundation for Monument Protection , contributions from Lower Saxony state foundations are required. Donations have already been promised by various foundations. The Hildesheim member of the Bundestag Eckart von Klaeden (CDU) announced in September 2008 that 300,000 euros had been approved for urgent work on the reception building from a special federal monument protection program.
A particular problem for the subsequent use of the reception building is seen in the fact that it was built between the tracks of the two railway lines to make it easier to change trains. This led to an island position between tracks, which prevented level access to the main road and made access through a tunnel necessary. However, it would be possible to access the reception building from the north via the cellar, for example. In the north of the reception building, in the wedge between the tracks, is the former coach house for King George V of Hanover's railway saloon car. On the north side of the building it has a driveway from the L 410 with a large parking lot.
Considerations have been given to swivel the Weserbahn, which runs on the east side of the station building, onto the tracks of the north-south route to the west of the station building, so that a separate level access from the park-and-ride facility to the station building is possible. The state of Lower Saxony does not see itself in a position to finance the extremely costly financial relocation of the tracks. It believes that this problem has been resolved with the creation of the station tunnel in 2006.
In the summer of 2006, Nadine Pflüger wrote her thesis on the subject of the conversion of the former reception building on the Nordstemmen station grounds at the Faculty of Construction at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Hildesheim. Professors Josef Strasser and Jens Sievers and eight students in the 6th semester of interior design at the University of Applied Science and Art developed various usage concepts for the empty reception building in 2007. On July 5, 2007, the eight students presented their usage concepts for Nordstemmen station.
On July 16, 2007, the chief curator Ulrich Pagels from the State Office for the Preservation of Monuments asked the Nordstemmen cultural and local history association to immediately submit a conclusive concept for the use of the building, which must also make it clear whether there was a local interest in maintaining the station.
There were considerations to renovate the reception building and turn it into a museum memorial for the builder Conrad Wilhelm Hase. The Heimatbund Lower Saxony (HBN) suggested the presentation of the life's work of Conrad Wilhelm Hase and a railway history presentation of the development of the Royal Hanover State Railways . The Nordstemmen cultural and local history association, founded to save the reception building, developed its own usage concept.
The Nordstemmen cultural and local history association , the State Office for the Preservation of Monuments and the Hildesheim District Council's Round Table worked together until August 2010 to create the conditions for the renovation and reuse of the building and to secure the financing. On August 16, 2010, the Round Table ended its efforts to preserve the reception building with the declaration that no carrier had been found for the building who would take responsibility for the renovation and subsequent use of the building. The state of Lower Saxony , the State Office for the Preservation of Monuments and the municipality of Nordstemmen refused to become the owner of the reception building or to become the sponsor of a facility located there. Nordstemmen's mayor, Karl-Heinz Bothmann , said during this last round table session: It is to be regretted when the station is torn down, but we have to face reality .
Considerations of building a small train from Nordstemmen station to Marienburg Castle have become obsolete, since since 2012 a taxi company from Adensen has been running a little train from Adensen and from Nordstemmen station to Marienburg Castle on weekends in summer .
Red and white folder 2011
In the Red Folder 2011 of the Lower Saxony Homeland Federation it says:
“And what happens to the train station in Nordstemmen (cf. recently Rote Mappe, 308/06)? Although the high quality of the monument is technically undisputed, although the state and federal government thankfully want to grant substantial donations, the decline is apparently continuing unchecked. "
The state government of Lower Saxony replied in the 2011 White Folder:
“The use and maintenance of the buildings of the Lower Saxony railway stations are also desirable from the point of view of the Lower Saxony state government. However, this is not in the influence of the state government, but the respective owner decides on the handling and use [...] Of the criticized train stations in Derneburg, Elze, Bad Gandersheim, Quakenbrück, Schöningen and Nordstemmen, only the building in Nordstemmen is still owned by DB AG. ... Incidentally, the Lower Saxony Ministry for Science and Culture had campaigned for the renovation and the financing of the security of the station building in Nordstemmen. Unfortunately, no agreement has yet been reached with the DB AG, which would like to demolish the building. The main cause is the difficult use due to the island location between the tracks. "
In 2020, Lower Saxony's Prime Minister Stephan Weil got a picture on site.
Beginning and failure of the renovation of the reception building
Since 2011, the Hildesheim building contractor Dirk Bettels has tried in vain to purchase the reception building built by Conrad Wilhelm Hase with promised public funds and to renovate it true to the original. In August 2013, Dirk Bettels withdrew from the construction project because no contract had been concluded with Deutsche Bahn AG for the purchase of the reception building. The construction work started in the qualification project for 25 unemployed people had to be stopped on August 30, 2013 before their training was completed.
In October 2012, 15 to 20 unemployed people began the first construction phase to renovate the reception building under the direction of site manager Peter Wucherpfennig. By the end of March 2013, you first carried out work on the windows and openings in non-load-bearing walls in the reception building in addition to cleaning the building and the basement and, secondly, renovated the remise and set up a workshop for the renovation work on the reception building. They took part in the Nordstemmen Castle Train Station qualification project in order to qualify for their later work in the construction industry, as there is a great shortage of skilled workers there for building renovation. The organizers of the measures were the Hildesheim Job Center and QuAsS (qualification and work instead of social benefits), a subsidiary of the Hildesheim-Südniedersachsen Chamber of Crafts and the District Craftsmen's Association . The project coordinator was Olga Kronemann. Construction work at Nordstemmen station was temporarily suspended at the end of March 2013 and continued on June 10, 2013. The basis for this was a license agreement between Bahn AG and QuAsS , which ran until August 2013. In the reception building, unneeded partition walls were removed and stiffeners were installed to support the upper floors. All construction work was stopped on August 31, 2013.
Funding from the federal government, the State of Lower Saxony from the European Social Fund for Germany and funds from the Lower Saxony State Office for the Preservation of Monuments were available for the first construction phase of the reception building. Since the beginning of July 2013, the Hanover-Braunschweig-Göttingen-Wolfsburg metropolitan region had included the Nordstemmen reception building in their Kunstschiene project . The Kunstschiene project wants to bring train stations from Hamburg to Kassel more into the focus of urban and local development and lobbying decision-makers.
In October 2012, the Nordstemmer company El Puente planned to start operating a coffee roastery with a master roaster in the completed reception building. In the café, specialties of fair trade from the growing areas in the respective regions of the world could then be offered in country weeks.
The project team for the restoration of the reception building, which also includes Thomas Kellmann from the Lower Saxony State Office for the Preservation of Monuments and the architect Holger Heise, planned to restore the building to its condition from 1854. To do this, ceilings and walls would have to be removed and the former colors on the walls would have to be brought out by restorers for wall painting and wood painting. According to architect Holger Heise, the renovation by local specialist companies would require at least a construction period of three years. This construction work could not be started because the transfer of ownership to the non-profit GmbH with the name Perron had not taken place and because therefore no building applications could be submitted and no building contracts could be given to companies.
On August 10, 2013, the Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung reported that the investor Dirk Bettels withdrew from the project because there was no transfer of ownership of the reception building. On August 30, 2013 there was possibly a final conversation between representatives of the preservation of monuments, the municipality of Nordstemmen and Deutsche Bahn in the Nordstemmen town hall.
