The Rheda-Wiedenbrück station is a passenger station in the Westphalian city of Rheda-Wiedenbrück in North Rhine-Westphalia . It is on the Hamm – Minden railway line , one of the busiest routes in Germany.
The Warendorfer Bahn branches off towards the west to Münster , so the station is operationally a separation station . The stretch to the east to Lippstadt is closed today.
location
The train station is located in the Rheda district, north of downtown Rheda.
history
With the construction of their main line from Cologne via the Ruhr area to Minden , the Cologne-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft opened the first station on October 15, 1847, which was initially called "Rheda in Westphalia" .
After the nationalization of the nominally private railway companies, the section from Warendorf via Rheda to Lippstadt of the Warendorfer Bahn was completed on June 25, 1887 , which initially crossed the station and the existing line at an acute angle. The northern section of the route between Rheda and Münster was under the control of the "Royal Railway Directorate Cologne on the right bank of the Rhine", while the southern section to Lippstadt was subject to the "Royal Railway Directorate Hanover".
In the following years the responsible railway directorate changed several times, and the first change of name to Rheda (Minden district) took place at the end of the 19th century . Before the First World War , the station was again renamed Rheda (Westphalia) .
In the early 1920s, the station was extensively rebuilt, which significantly changed the course of the Warendorfer Bahn. The Warendorfer Bahn from Münster was led west around Rheda under the railway line to Hamm parallel to this into the station. To the east of the station, the Warendorfer Bahn was led out of the station again parallel to the line to Bielefeld and back to the old route between the cities of Rheda and Wiedenbrück . As a result, the station became operationally a crossing station .
In the course of the North Rhine-Westphalian municipal reform in 1970, the cities of Rheda and Wiedenbrück were merged; but it was not until ten years later that the Deutsche Bundesbahn took over the name change. Since September 28, 1980 the station has been called "Rheda-Wiedenbrück".
On May 1, 2001, with the section to Rheda-Wiedenbrück-Süd, the last section of the Warendorfer Bahn to Lippstadt was shut down, since then the station is no longer an intersection station, but only a separation station. A good two years later, on December 14, 2003, the freight yard was shut down.
The station was modernized between October 2014 and October 2017. All platforms were raised for barrier-free entry and, in addition to dynamic text displays, elevators were also installed. The total costs were around seven million euros, of which the federal government took on around four million euros, the state of North Rhine-Westphalia around two million euros and DB around one million euros.
Slab track
For the first time in Germany in 1972 in the area of the Rheda-Wiedenbrück train station, the so-called “ slab track ” was used as a superstructure instead of the conventional ballast sleeper construction .
