history
The station was built in 1855 on the Dortmund – Soest line of the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (BME) and equipped with a representative station building.
In 1866 the BME built a line from Unna to Hamm to the main line of the Cologne-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft , which was later continued to the Hagen-Hamm line , making Unna station a transfer station of regional importance.
The Prussian State Railways then built a railway line from Fröndenberg to Kamen to connect the three east-west lines in this area. The southern part was opened in 1899 and is now connected to the Hönnetalbahn to Neuenrade. The northern part was initially opened for freight traffic in 1900 and a year later also for passenger traffic. Today, this route is only used as far as Unna-Königsborn, namely by S-Bahn line 4 of the Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn .
Between 1909 and 1950 the Unna – Kamen – Werne small railway connected the Unna station with the Kamen station.
