The rheinhausen station is a regional railway station in Duisburg district of Rheinhausen on the Lower Rhine in North Rhine-Westphalia . It is located on the Krefeld-Oppum - Mülheim (Ruhr) -Speldorf railway and is the starting point for the Lower Rhine route in the direction of Xanten .
location
Contrary to what the name of the station suggests, it is not in downtown Rheinhausen , but in Friemersheim . However, since the municipal reform of 1975 , both parts of the city have been integrated into the Duisburg district of Rheinhausen, and from 1934 onwards they belonged to the municipality of Rheinhausen in what was then the district of Moers when they were granted city rights .
A shopping mile begins at the front and leads to Friemersheimer Markt. The Kruppsee and the surrounding area as a local recreation area line the route towards Krefeld . To the rear of the station there are residential areas that belong to Rheinhausen-Mitte .
history
The first Rheinhausen station was created with the construction of the Osterath – Essen Railway of the Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft and formed the western ferry station of the Rheinhausen - Hochfeld trajectory . It was located in the then municipality of Hochemmerich, south of the Duisburg-Hochfelder railway bridge built in 1873 on the site of today's Logport . With the construction of the bridge, the old station was demolished and a new Rheinhausen station was built in the municipality of Friemersheim . This went into operation on October 8, 1877. The Prussian State Railroad expanded the station in 1894 due to the increased volume of traffic.
The station building erected in 1877 on Kruppstrasse in Friemersheim was demolished again in 1904. The new construction of the reception building was mainly related to the construction of the Rheinhausen - Kleve railway line . The new, still existing station building was built on Windmühlenstrasse, not far from the former station building. On May 1, 1904, the station was given the double name Rheinhausen-Friemersheim on the initiative of the Mayor of Friemersheim . With the opening of a stop at the Friedrich-Alfred-Hütte east of the train station, it was given the name Rheinhausen , while the old train station was given the name Friemersheim . In 1923 the communities of Hochemmerich and Friemersheim were merged to form the community of Rheinhausen. In 1936/37 the Friemersheim train station in Rheinhausen was renamed , while the Rheinhausen stop was given the name Rheinhausen Ost .
During the First World War , various service rooms were added in 1915. From the beginning of the 1920s, there was increasing criticism of the condition of the waiting rooms, at the same time there were plans to merge the Friemersheim train station with the Rheinhausen stop to create a single passenger access point. The renovation of the rooms was postponed again and again in view of the project. However, the new construction of the station did not materialize.
The tunnel under the platforms has remained in its original form from the construction time of the station building. Between 2006 and 2007 it was extended beyond the north side of the tracks and under the newly built feeder road Am Logport . The platforms can now also be reached from the Hochemmerich side through the settlement area around Behringstrasse / Lindenallee / Maiblumenstrasse. In 2014/15 the entrances were converted to make it accessible for the disabled, wheelchair-accessible ramps were installed to both platforms and to the Friemersheim district.
Simultaneously with the construction of the station building on Windmühlenstrasse, the Rheinhausen (Friemersheim) West signal box was also rebuilt . It stood at the level of the bridge structure for overpassing the railroad tracks. The overpass was replaced by the Rheingoldstrasse / Bachstrasse underpass at the end of the 1950s, as the width and load-bearing capacity of the bridge was no longer able to cope with the increasing traffic of trucks and cars. In addition, the headroom was not sufficient for the later electrification of the line. The Rmf signal box (Rheinhausen Mitte Fahrdienstleiter), built in brick, was positioned east of the station between the tracks, was put into service in 1890 and replaced in 1973 by a relay signal box on Kruppstrasse.
construction
The now closed station building from 1904 is on the south side of the tracks . The two island platforms can be reached through a tunnel with separate access, which was extended to the north side of the tracks during the renovation in 2007.
The southern platform with tracks 3 and 4 is located between the continuous tracks of the railway line from Duisburg Hauptbahnhof to Krefeld Hauptbahnhof . From this, to the east of the station, tracks 1 and 2 run out at the same level and lead to the northern platform where trains to and from Moers and Xanten depart.

service
Regional traffic
Rheinhausen station is served by five local rail passenger transport lines. The RE 42 and RB 33 lines are operated by DB Regio NRW , the RB 31 line has operated the NordWestBahn since December 13, 2009 and the RB 35 line has been operated by Abellio Rail NRW since December 11, 2016 . Since February 3, 2020, the station has been served by the RE 44 line, which is operated by NordWestBahn.
tram
From July 13, 1913 to September 25, 1954, tram line 2 , also known as the "crooked line", ran from Homberg to Friemersheim. A stop was directly opposite the station building. After the tram operation was discontinued, the rails were removed and, after 1968, the power lines initially used for trolleybus traffic as well.
Bus transport
The station is served by various local public transport lines:
| line | Run | Tact |
|---|---|---|
| 914 | Moers Königlicher Hof - Moers Bf - Schwafheim - Bergheim - Rheinhausen Market - Rheinhausen Ost Bf - Logport Center - Rheinhausen Bf / Kaiserstraße - Friemersheim Markt - Hohenbudberg industrial area | 30 min ( HVZ ) 60 min ( NVZ ) |
| 922 | Beeckerwerth Godesberger Straße - Ruhrort Bf - Ruhrort Friedrichsplatz - Duisburg-Homberg - Rheinhausen Markt - Rheinhausen Ost Bf - Rheinhausen Bf / Kaiserstraße - Friemersheim Markt | 4 times a day to Friemersheim Markt (Mon-Fri) |
| 927 | Rheinhausen Markt - Rheinhausen Bf - Rheinhausen Bf / Kaiserstraße - Friemersheim - Hohenbudberg Chempark ( Gate 2 ) - Krefeld-Uerdingen Bf - Bockumer Platz - Krefeld-Rheinstraße - Krefeld Hbf | 60 min (during the day) |
| NE27 | Rheinhausen Markt - Rheinhausen Bf - Rheinhausen Bf / Kaiserstraße - Friemersheim - Hohenbudberg Chempark ( Gate 2 ) - Krefeld-Uerdingen Bf - Bockumer Platz - Krefeld-Rheinstraße - Krefeld Hbf | 60 min (at night) |
Especially on weekends, the connection is so thinned that it may be faster to go seven kilometers further to Duisburg Hbf and from there take a bus back or go straight on foot.
The usability of the station by passengers from Homberg or Winkelhausen, for example , has been restricted due to the curtailment of the tangential bus routes on the left bank of the Rhine by the Duisburg transport company . A ring line to better integrate the Rheinhauser train stations was rejected by the Duisburg side, as it would allegedly have "little traffic benefit". According to a study, Friemersheim is considered "oversupplied".
Others
The Rheinhauser train station has been recreated as an HO model on a scale of 1:87 and stands together with a lifelike environment on the model railway system of the Duisburg Model Railway Club in Duisburg-Kaßlerfeld. It can be viewed on public days.
