The Wunstorf train station is one of the oldest train stations in Lower Saxony . Erected in the first half of the 19th century as an island train station on the Luther district (Bahnhofstraße 58), the entrance to the station reception building is now at Hindenburgstraße 58 .
history
In the course of the industrialization of the Kingdom of Hanover and the construction of the railway lines in the direction of Bremen and Minden, the Wunstorf separation station was created as an island station on the Luther district. Ferdinand Schwarz's plans were carried out between 1847 and 1848 by building officer Conrad Wilhelm Hase . This resulted in u. a. an elongated station reception building. The station concourse was accessed from the then station forecourt between the station hotel and the goods shed from the north through a tunnel. This is why Bahnhofstrasse (later partly renamed Alte Bahnhofstrasse and Hindenburgstrasse ) crossed the Hanover – Bremen line at a barred level crossing. From the station concourse, the passenger entered the two covered platforms running along the main building through the platform barrier . The outer platforms were accessible via a staircase on the southern platform through a tunnel running to the south and north.
By breaking down the west of the station crossing rail links between the Bremer- and Minden railway line (about 1905), the station was to Keilbahnhof become. The terminus of the Steinhuder Meer-Bahn could therefore be relocated from the Hotel Ritter to the Staatsbahnhof. The access to the western front of the station building was laid out parallel to its narrow-gauge track. In 1909, the Seelze - Wunstorf freight bypass was put into operation, which joins the lines north of the Bremen line and south of the Minden line west of the station, and the tracks for passenger traffic are thus in the middle. From and in the direction of Seelze, the Bremen freight tracks cross the passenger tracks in a flyover structure and connect / separate in the Gümmerwald junction with the Minden tracks.
To the east of the station building stood the water tower and engine shed . There was a turntable at the east end of Bahnhofstrasse . The Bw Wunstorf (track plan 1942: see itemization) was closed in July 1951.
Since 1964, located in the south of the station, the switchboard Wf
In connection with the construction of the elevated road of the B 441 over the Hanover – Bremen line, a bus station (ZOB) and a continuous tunnel to the platforms were built on the north side of the railway system. A car park with access to the tunnel was created on the south side and a pedestrian ramp from the tunnel in the direction of Hindenburgstrasse in front of the west side of the reception building.
Steinhuder Meer Railway
The meter-gauge Steinhuder Meer-Bahn (St.MB) has also been running from Wunstorf since 1898 . After the removal of the western connecting tracks, the covered platform for the passenger trains was next to the northern house platform of the state train station on the Bremen line. It initially had two butt-ended tracks with a platform edge, later only one track, and was removed in 1964 after passenger traffic was discontinued. The trains had to reset to move. The transfer tracks go west of the station from the Bremen line, to the Wunstorf West station of the St.MB. Up until the narrow-gauge traffic was abandoned in 1970, there were reloading facilities and a trestle pit . From here the three-rail track to Bokeloh went off, since 1962 only standard gauge. Up until the end of production at the Sigmundshall potash plant at the end of 2018, there were two to three handovers on this route every day. Since then there has only been residual traffic. The once extensive operating facilities with a locomotive shed and workshop have now given way to a bus depot, but individual buildings still exist, the former administration building (Hindenburgstrasse 49) is a listed building.
Station reception building
The building is enlivened by coupled round arches , which at the same time create a connection between the two protruding side risalits and the central part of the building. Apart from a few historicizing borrowings - such as plastic portrait medallions - the reception building is still articulated in the clear architectural language of late classicism . Today it is designated as an individual monument .

Monday to Friday, three RE 70 cycle compressors drive every hour from Minden to Hanover. On Friday afternoon, six (until the end of 2017: three) cycle compressors are going in the opposite direction. This additional connection is run three times from Monday to Thursday, but with different symmetry minutes.
The RE 1 and RE 8 also have a cycle compressor for each direction and line from Monday to Friday, serving the route between Hanover and Bremen (until the end of 2016 only between Hanover and Nienburg) (in the morning in the south, in the afternoon in the north).
There are only sensible transfer options between the S-Bahn and between the cycle compressors of the RE 60 and 70 in the morning and Friday afternoon and the RE 1 and 8 from / to Bremen. Options to change between the RE from Minden in the direction of Nienburg and vice versa are only possible with a waiting time, as the trains usually only miss each other by one or two minutes.
Bus transport
Most buses leave the central bus station in front of the north exit, some connections also in front of the south exit.
Trivia
The Wunstorf train station continues to have a far-reaching effect on the preservation of monuments : To the south-east of the old town of Wunstorf, numerous villas in the style of the time were built in the suburbs along the Alte Bahnhofstrasse during the founding period of the German Empire , which is why this part of the city is designated as a "monument preservation area of interest" is.
