The Stolberg-Atsch (AJ) station was in the Atsch district of Stolberg (Rhineland) in the Aachen city region . Until the regional reform in 1935, it was together with the town of Atsch in the area of the municipality of Eilendorf . It should not be confused with the Stolberg-Atsch stop on the Stolberg – Walheim railway line , which existed at Schnorrenfeld from 1954 to 1960.
history
The station was completed in 1875 together with the Stolberg – Kohlscheid railway line as a terminal station for the Aachen-Jülich Railway Company (AJ) for passenger and freight traffic. The line ran parallel to the Stolberg – Herzogenrath railway of the Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft, which since 1871 has not been able to meet the increasing demand for capacity from industry in the Aachen region. As a result, they founded the AJ railway company in 1873, which should meet the requirements. The railway line, built mainly to transport coal from the Wurmrevier to Stolberg, passed the main Cologne - Aachen line through an underpass without crossing. The station building for passenger traffic was on Steinbachstrasse.
At the end of 1876, the Rhenania chemical factory was connected with a works track.
Further expansion of capacity led to the construction of our own marshalling yard and a signal box. The station Stolberg went with the acquisition of the Rhenish Railway Company in 1886 in the possession of the Prussian state railway over. The Aachen-Jülich systems followed a year later. The systems of both stations were thus merged and in 1888 they were given the current station building of the Stolberg main station . The facilities used for freight traffic have now become District V of the main station.
The station building of the Stolberg-Atsch station served as an official residence until 1968 and was then demolished.
