history
With the completion of the Upper Ruhr Valley Railway through the Diemeltal, the Principality of Waldeck received its first connection to the railway network in 1872.
In 1886 the establishment of a bus stop for Wrexen (on Westphalian territory) and the construction of a station building was decided and started. The community of Wrexen made a contribution of 1,400 marks , which was raised through voluntary donations and a loan from the school fund.
The Wrexener train station opened on July 1, 1887. A prince's room was set up. After the royal seat of Arolsen had its own reception building with a prince's room in 1890 , the prince's room in Wrexen station was closed in 1911 and used as a waiting room for first and second carriage classes.
In the 1950s, the main destinations were Niedermarsberg (30%) and Warburg (22%).
On August 1, 1970, counter operations at Wrexen station were restricted. Wrexen station has been without passenger traffic since May 31, 1987. Since January 20, 1988, the Wrexen branch has been used as an alternate junction ( Awanst for short ).
After the second main line was abandoned in 1984, all other side tracks have now also been dismantled.
The reception building briefly housed a discotheque from 2012. After the change of ownership, the station was reopened to the public for the first time as part of the Open Monument Day 2019 and is to be used as an event location in future.
