Wulfen (Westf) is a train station that has been dismantled to the stopping point in the immediate vicinity of the center of the Dorsten district of Wulfen . It is located at line kilometer 30.7 of the Dorsten – Coesfeld railway line , which separates the Alt-Wulfen settlement area from the Köhl industrial area to the west of the tracks.

Location and structure

The breakpoint is located southwest of the Wulfen town center at the end of the Kleiner Ring road. It has one of two previous platforms. The reception building is located east of the north-south route on the Kleiner Ring. The brick building was placed under monument protection in 2007 and is currently (as of 2015) not used. A goods shed directly connected to the building has been dismantled down to the foundation walls, but reconstruction is planned.

The operations center has two mechanical signal boxes . The northern interlocking at the level crossing of Bundesstrasse 58 is the Wnf dispatcher interlocking ( W ulfen N ord F ahrdienstleiter), since 2003 it has been the only interlocking in what is now the block post . In addition to operating the two block signals A and B, the dispatcher is also responsible for the level crossing. The southern former turnout guards -Stellwerk Ws ( W ulfen S OD) is since 2003 a barrier post (item 14) and operates the crossings Köhlerstraße and Burenkamp.

history

The breakpoint went into operation together with the Duisburg - Oberhausen - Dorsten - Coesfeld - Rheine - Quakenbrück railway line . In 1929 it was upgraded to a train station , with two platform tracks as well as freight loading and individual sidings. The station restaurant was run by Franz Rößmann in the 1930s. Towards the end of World War II , the station was hit by an air raid. In 1968 Wulfen took over the main office from Lembeck . In 1976, ticket sales were stopped in Wulfen, and goods handling was centralized in Dorsten a year later . The following year the waiting room in the building was closed and the station master retired. In 1982 young people occupied the station building and used it as a self-managed meeting place. In 1994 several hundred citizens protested against the possible suspension of the Dorsten – Coesfeld line with a solidarity trip. In 1996, the rail connection to the Kleinken metal works was dismantled. With the dismantling of the second main track in 2003, it was downgraded to a stop with an attached block . In 2007 the city of Dorsten placed the reception building under a preservation order. Since no investor was found for the vacant building, the city considered demolishing it in 2009. In 2012, renewed plans for a renovation of the building under the direction of Ferdinand von Merveldt came to light, two years later work was not yet in sight.
