history
Soest station went into operation on October 1, 1850 as an intermediate station on the Hamm - Paderborn line operated by the Royal Westphalian Railway Company (KWE). With the commissioning of the Dortmund - Unna - Soest line of the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (BME), Soest became the separation station for the two lines. The track systems of both companies were initially still separated from each other, the KWE had its goods shed south of the tracks near the Walburger Tor, the BME shed was north of the track systems. In 1860 the Bergenthal rolling mill received a siding opposite the station building. The Dortmund - Soest line received the second track in 1866 , followed by the Soest - Paderborn line in 1867/68. The commissioning of the KWE-Emschertalbahn from Welver towards Dortmund Süd took place in 1876. In 1881 the Soest - Welver section was therefore given a second track. In the following year, the BME was nationalized, so that the administration of the station was carried out solely by the Prussian state railway . The station was under the control of the Royal Railway Directorate (KED) Hanover until 1895, and from 1895 to the KED Münster .
From 1887 to 1889, the station's freight facilities were extensively expanded. The Westphalian goods shed was demolished in the course of the work, the Bergisch-Märkische shed served as a lounge in the future. The level crossing on Östinghauser Landstrasse was demolished and replaced by an underpass further east. In addition, parts of the medieval city wall had to be demolished for the expansion . On November 1, 1889, the new freight yard was put into operation, at that time the station comprised three tracks for passenger traffic and six tracks for goods traffic. For the meter-gauge Ruhr-Lippe-Eisenbahn (RLE), which opened on May 1, 1898, there was a trolley pit in the freight station .
The rapid increase in freight traffic in the Ruhr area made it necessary to build a marshalling yard in Soest a short time later . The plans announced in 1895 provided for this to be laid in the curved track that describes the line from Paderborn - Warburg to the neighboring Sassendorf station. The acquisition of the required 20 hectares of land was sometimes associated with difficulties, as part of the land was gardens , so that construction could not begin until 1896. The northern shunting group went into operation on October 17, 1897, the southern shunting group and the intermediate loading bay for general cargo went into operation on July 1, 1898.
In the spring of 1899, the freight yard had to be rebuilt for connection to a granary and the threading of the Möhnetalbahn of the Westphalian State Railway . The Kornhaus connection was in operation from March 1, 1899, the line to Brilon on December 1 of the same year. From April 1, 1899, the station was under the control of KED Cassel . On August 1, 1899, the station was also connected to the power grid, and the power was supplied by the city of Soest's power station. In the same year, the west head also had to be redesigned in order to better separate the routes to Hamm / Dortmund Süd and Unna / Dortmund from each other. Further work took place up to 1906, including the expansion of the reloading hall, the construction of a new installation station at Ostend and the construction of welfare facilities for staff in the form of lounges and overnight rooms, but also apartments and educational facilities.
After the expansion measures, the station had taken up an area of around 70 hectares and reached a length of approximately four kilometers. The value of the systems was given as around 4.5 million marks . In 1907 there were around 1200 workers, seven (at night) to eight (daytime) shunting locomotives were to be found in the shunting service every day. The main task of the station was the formation of freight trains from the Ruhr area in the direction of Leipzig , Holzminden , Thuringia , Ottbergen , Falkenberg , Kassel and Altenbeken . In the opposite direction, the wagons were sorted according to the directions Hamm , Neuss , Aachen , Dortmund Süd, Hagen / Elberfeld , Holzwickede and Kamen , and the open freight wagons returning to the Ruhr area were sorted according to the type of unloading. Other focal points of the Soest train station were the reloading of general cargo in the reloading hall and local freight traffic.
Since Soest was the border station of the KED Cassel to the KED Essen , the steam locomotives were also switched on site . For this purpose, there were two spatially separate depots to the north and south of the main tracks. The freight train locomotives were located in Shed I, a roundhouse north of the western outflow hill, and the passenger locomotives in a round house southwest of the platforms.
The RLE to 1953 the north (Hovestadt and Lippborg ) and from 1898 to 1964 the west (Ostönnen and Werl) and southwest of the district with Soest. The station building of this railway was located south of the state railway on the station forecourt . The Möhnetalbahn to 1970 the upper Möhnetal via Belecke and Wamel with the district town, whose trains ended east of the reception building on a separate platform next to track 1 of the state railway.
After the shunting yard was closed and demolished, the local operation of rail freight traffic was also discontinued.
The remaining Soest train station was extensively renovated by 2010 in order to live up to its role as a gateway to the city. In addition to the renovation of the building, around five hectares of commercial space were also created in the vicinity. The north side of the station can be reached directly through the new underpass. In addition, the level of platform 1 has been raised. In addition to retail stores close to the train station, sanitary facilities and an EC machine on the ground floor, office space was created on the upper floors.
