The Oberhausen-Osterfeld Station is a shunting and passenger station in the district Osterfeld of the North Rhine-Westphalian city of Oberhausen . The two-sided marshalling yard is one of the largest of its kind in Germany. Since the last major renovation up to 2006, only the Ostberg is still in use, while the Westberg is out of order. The facility has a train formation capacity of around 3,000 individual wagons per day.
Location and structure
Most of the station is in the north of the district of Vondern , while the Westkopf is in the district of Osterfeld-Mitte. The northern border of the station also forms the suburb of Oberhausen-Vonderort and Bottrop-Vonderort . The facility is designed as a two-sided marshalling yard. The north group (east-west system) has an approach group, drainage mountain, direction group and exit group. The south group (west-east system), however, does not have a separate exit group. Most of the tracks in the direction group also end bluntly. The station is connected to several railway lines :
- VzG route 2206 ( Oberhausen-Sterkrade - Abzw Grafenbusch - Oberhausen-Osterfeld - Bottrop Süd - Wanne-Eickel Hbf )
- VzG route 2246 (Oberhausen-Osterfeld - Bottrop Hbf )
- VzG route 2250 (Oberhausen-Osterfeld - Üst Hochstraße - Bottrop Hbf - Hamm (Westf) Rbf )
- VzG route 2253 (Oberhausen-Osterfeld - Essen-Vogelheim)
- VzG route 2320 (Oberhausen-Osterfeld - Abzw Walzwerk - Abzw Mathilde - Duisburg-Wedau )
The station also has several parts of the station (Bft):
- EOS M: Oberhausen-Osterfeld Mitte
- EOS U: Oberhausen-Osterfeld Museum
- EOS T: Oberhausen-Osterfeld Ost
- EOS B: Oberhausen-Osterfeld Ostberg
- EOS P: Oberhausen-Osterfeld Süd
- EOS E: Oberhausen-Osterfeld West
- EOS G: Oberhausen-Osterfeld Westberg
The name of the station parts is usually based on their location in the station. The Oberhausen-Osterfeld Süd station section is an exception. Contrary to the assumption, this is not in the south, but in the northwest of the station. Until 2006, the entire station carried this name, the passenger station was run as the station part Oberhausen-Osterfeld Süd Pbf. The addition South was retained for customer dialogue. The east part of the station includes the approach group (mountain tracks) in front of the run-off mountain of the east-west system, the east mountain itself comprises the switch area on said east mountain. The same procedure is used for the West and Westberg sections of the station. The central station area comprises the direction group (valley tracks) of the east-west system and the track connection between the two drainage systems. The museum section of the station is located in the north of the station area and includes two routes that allow you to switch between the main tracks on VzG routes 2206 and 2250. Both routes run north of the marshalling yard. While the VzG line 2206 (Cöln-Mindener Emschertalbahn) runs between the west and east head through the station, the VzG line 2250 (Hamm-Osterfelder Bahn) merges with the open line behind the museum section of the station . Lines 2246 and 2253 start at the east head, the VzG line 2320 starts at the west head.
history
Osterfeld, which belonged to the Bottrop office until 1891 , received its first train station in November 1873. On November 15, 1873, the Cöln-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (CM) put its Emschertal line into operation. From July 1, 1874, passenger trains also stopped at Osterfeld CM station. 1879 followed with the Duisburg - Dorsten - Coesfeld - Rheine - Quakenbrück line of the Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft and the Sterkrade - Bottrop - Dortmund - Welver line of the Royal Westphalian Railway Company . In 1880, the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft added the fourth line, the Herne - Katernberg - Oberhausen line.
The station building of the Cöln-Mindener Bahnhof was on today's Bottroper Straße, the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn also used this station. The Westphalian Railway built its Osterfeld WfE station some distance away on what is now Emsstrasse. The route followed the Westfälische Strasse and Richard-Wagner-Allee to Sterkrade . The station of the Rheinische Eisenbahn was about 600 meters north of the Cöln-Mindener station.
After the nationalization of the railway companies by the Prussian state and the restructuring of their administrations into railway directorates in the early 1880s, the Prussian state railways began to reorganize the railway network in the Ruhr area . Lines that run parallel to each other have been reduced by closing the less busy lines and the stations of the formerly competing companies have been structurally merged. This measure also affected the Emschertal lines of the former Westphalian and Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft as well as the Osterfeld WfE station. They were shut down in the Osterfeld area in 1884 and 1886, respectively. The sections leading east from Osterfeld, however, were retained. The Rhine route also remained in the Osterfeld area.
In 1888, KED Cöln on the right bank of the Rhine, as the legal successor to CM, began planning a marshalling yard at the level of Osterfeld CM station. The first phase of construction was completed in 1891. The system with a length of around four kilometers was built west of the Cöln-Minden train station along the Emschertal Railway. In the same year Osterfeld resigned from the Bottrop office and has since formed his own office. The train station was further expanded by 1905, which ended with the commissioning of the Hamm-Osterfelder Bahn . While the majority of the loaded wagons were treated for the journey to the west and northwest via the northern group, the emptied wagons returning were mainly to be found in the southern group. The northern group was therefore equipped with about twice as many collecting tracks as the southern group. The latter also did without a separate exit group. In addition to the facilities for shunting and passenger traffic, the station also included a depot for steam locomotives . At this point at the latest, the facility was given the name Osterfeld Süd , and the station of the former Rhenish Railway has since been known as Osterfeld Nord .
The station quickly took the position as the largest marshalling yard in the Ruhr area. In 1906 he recorded a turnover of 773,000 individual wagons, which corresponds to a daily output of more than 2,100 wagons. The passenger station located in the old Cöln-Minden train station recorded 149,000 passengers in the same year. The station lost its top position by the beginning of the First World War , but the input power rose to over 5000 cars per day. In 1917, the station recorded a daily peak performance of 5086 wagons received. In 1921 around 2000 civil servants and employees worked in the station, 1200 of them in shunting operations and another 600 craftsmen in the depot. In order to further optimize operational operations, individual electromechanical signal boxes with table lever banks were built in the 1920s .
The structural change in the coal and mining industry caused a noticeable decrease in the number of vehicles after the Second World War . In 1985 the Deutsche Bundesbahn shut down the Westberg and cut the exits to the west. From then on, the valley tracks were used to park vehicles. As a result of the change in traction that was taking place at the same time , the depot was also converted.
On March 27, 2002, Deutsche Bahn announced the renovation of the Oberhausen-Osterfeld Süd marshalling yard. With an investment volume of 77 million euros, among other things, the superstructure was renewed and the systems for shunting technology were modernized. The six command and guard interlockings that were still in existence were replaced by an electronic interlocking (ESTW) on the east head. Although the process operation still only takes place over the Ostberg, the Westberg has also been modernized and provided with track brakes. The marshalling interlockings of both drainage mountains were also replaced by ESTW, which are housed in separate buildings. At the end of 2004, the work on the first expansion stage was completed. The ESTW Of went into operation in November 2006. With the commissioning, the station was renamed Oberhausen-Osterfeld . In a second expansion stage, the valley tracks on the Westberg were renewed and partially connected to the exit.
After the renovation, the station has 40 directional tracks in the east-west system; another 26 directional tracks in the west-east system are used for storage. At the end of 2006, the neighboring Oberhausen West station ceased operations, the tasks of which were taken over by Oberhausen-Osterfeld station. Since then, the facility has handled around 3,000 wagons every day. With the restart of the west-east system, an increase to 5000 cars would theoretically be possible.
Buildings
Reception building
The Cöln-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft built a two-story half - timbered building on Bottroper Strasse for its station . The Deutsche Reichsbahn planned to rebuild the building in 1940, as the old structure no longer met the requirements over time. The Second World War prevented the project. The existing station building was damaged by the effects of the war and the upper floor was then removed. In 1969 the Deutsche Bundesbahn left part of the station area east of the station building to the Gemeinnützige Wohnungsbau eG so that they could build a block of flats there. In return, the cooperative undertook to build a side wing of the building as a station entrance and to rent the premises to the Federal Railroad at low cost.
In the course of this new building, the platforms that were previously accessible at the same height were replaced by a central platform. Access is via a pedestrian tunnel in the new reception building. The renovation was completed in 1970 and the ticket office moved into the premises one year later. The Bundesbahn had the old station building demolished shortly thereafter. In the 1990s, a retail shop was established on the site . The new station building is now empty.
Depot
A depot was built at the same time as the new marshalling yard was built . The centerpiece of the system were two roundhouse sheds , each with a capacity of 20 , which could be reached via two 25-meter turntables . A water tower , a coaling and purification system and various social and overnight rooms completed the system. Around 90 steam locomotives were based in Osterfeld Süd from 1905 onwards.
From the 1960s onwards, the Federal Railroad electrified the lines running towards Osterfeld. In order to house electric locomotives , it also had locomotive shed 1 and its turntable demolished in 1964 and replaced with a new wagon hall. The new building has five tracks and ten repair stands. The first electric locomotives were based here from 1968. In 1974 there were still 50 steam locomotives at the Osterfeld Süd depot, in 1975 there were 15 machines. The last steam locomotive left the depot on March 20, 1976. During the same period, the number of electric locomotives rose from 96 to 123 machines, plus 22 diesel locomotives .
With the 1984 decision to only station diesel locomotives in Osterfeld Süd, the depot was rebuilt. The second roundhouse gave way to another wagon hall. In addition, a filling station for the locomotives and a washing facility were built. After the end of the renovation in 1989, the Bw had 164 diesel locomotives.
Signal boxes
After the marshalling yard was expanded in 1905, the station had six signal boxes. On the western head which was command interlocking East , the command signal box at the eastern end Swo ; both signal boxes had mechanical turnout and signal drives . The guard and marshalling interlockings in the station were marked with numbers. On the drainage mountains, there were two additional switchboards, Bro and Brw, for drainage operations. From 1898, the signal boxes were occasionally equipped with an electrical route block.
In the 1920s, further electromechanical signal boxes were added. The interlockings Bro , Brw , 4 and 11 built between 1928 and 1930 were equipped with a table lever mechanism from AEG or VES . The switch levers of these signal boxes were arranged according to the track diagram. The interlocking Bro was further equipped with a drain for the automatic control of the automatic switches. In the Reichsbahndirektion Essen there were comparable systems only in the stations of Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck and Hamm (Westf) Rbf .
From October 28th to November 2nd, 2006 the electronic signal box Of went into operation. The SIMIS-C type ESTW replaced the six older interlockings that were still in existence at the two shunting interlockings on the drainage mountains. The latter were also newly established as ESTW. Along with the commissioning, the station was renamed Oberhausen-Osterfeld. In addition to the Osterfeld train station, the ESTW has been controlling the Gladbeck West and Gelsenkirchen-Buer Nord train stations as well as the branch to Marl Lippe (VzG 2252) since 2007 .
Since 2012, the Hamm-Osterfelder Bahn has also been remote-controlled from Osterfeld to the Hamm (Westf) marshalling yard and the Bottrop Hauptbahnhof and Bottrop Süd stations . While area control computers (ESTW-A) were installed on the Hamm-Osterfelder Bahn as well as those in Gladbeck and Gelsenkirchen, remote control of the existing lane plan signal boxes (each type SpDrL60) was used for Bottrop Hauptbahnhof and Bottrop Süd.
The signal boxes Ost , Swo , 6 , 11 and Bro are still there, the latter is also on the list of monuments of the city of Oberhausen . The other signal boxes have not been preserved.
passenger traffic
The Osterfeld station was only of local importance for passenger traffic. Part of the approaching routes also showed no passenger traffic. The connections offered usually led from Oberhausen main station or occasionally from Oberhausen-Sterkrade station via the former Osterfeld Süd station on the Hamm-Osterfelder Bahn and from there to Recklinghausen main station or Hamm (Westphalia) station , as well as via the Cöln-Mindener Emschertalbahn to Wanne-Eickel Hauptbahnhof and Dortmund Hauptbahnhof . On the Emschertalbahn, the German Federal Railroad stopped passenger traffic in 1974. After the Second World War, traffic on the Hamm-Osterfelder Bahn increasingly shifted in the direction of Dorsten , until the Bundesbahn also discontinued the connection to Recklinghausen in 1983.
In the 2020 timetable, the passenger station will be served every hour by the RE 44 regional express between Bottrop main station and Moers. The operator of the line is the NordWestBahn . With the timetable change in December 2019, the previous regional train was converted into a regional express, and the section between Bottrop and Dorsten was also omitted. Since February 3, 2020, the line has been running beyond Oberhausen to Duisburg, and from Monday to Friday to Moers.
Buses SB 91, SB 94 and 957 as well as night bus lines NE 3 and NE 21 stop at the Oberhausen-Osterfeld Süd bus stop. This connects the station with the surrounding districts of Oberhausen and Bottrop.
