The Wuppertal-Unterbarmen station is a Wuppertal station on the Elberfeld – Dortmund line .
history
When the Elberfeld – Dortmund line was opened, the main line of the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft , the station did not yet exist; it was built later and opened in 1880 under the name Unterbarmen BM . He was supposed to open up the western area of the then independent city of Barmen . It was built a little later than the Unter-Barmen Rh station (later Wuppertal-Loh station) on the rival line of the Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft .
The station was designed as a through station with two long-distance and two local traffic tracks. Another fifth track was a shuttle connection to Barmen station and was used for shunting operations without blocking the long-distance or local traffic tracks . The companies Rittershaus & Blecher GmbH (today the Christian Morgenstern School) and the Wicküler brewery were located near the train station . A large part of the traffic at the station was handled with freight.
In 1897, under the direction of the Prussian State Railways, the station was renamed to Barmen-Unterbarmen . Another renaming took place in 1930 to Unterbarmen and 1950 to Wuppertal-Unterbarmen. Two signal box buildings were laid down in 1978.
Todays use
After the establishment of the S-Bahn line S 8 of the S-Bahn Rhein-Ruhr in May 1988, the switches of the station on the long-distance line were removed. It is therefore located exclusively on the S-Bahn line and is only used as a S-Bahn stop. The S 8 from Mönchengladbach Hbf to Hagen Hbf , the S 9 from Hagen Hbf via Essen Hbf to Bottrop Hbf and the S 7 from Wuppertal Hauptbahnhof via Remscheid to Solingen. Access to the former long-distance platforms has been dismantled and the platforms themselves have been completely dismantled, but the long-distance tracks are still in the same position, so that the distance between the tracks in the area of the stop is much greater than usual.
The station building, which is built on the railway embankment, now serves only as a western entrance to the platforms of the S-Bahn line. An eastern access to the platforms is at a pedestrian overpass over the railway line. There are two park-and-ride car parks at the train station, the larger one southwest of the platform. A barrier-free but entrance to the platform consists only of small parking lot at the reception building.
The Haspel campus of the Bergische Universität Wuppertal can be reached on foot via the western exit through the reception building .
Despite modernization in 2003, the reception building is in poor condition. A catering business that was located here closed its headquarters in November 2004 due to the poor building fabric and opened its new location in Elberfeld in August 2005 . In August 2016 it became known that the reception building was sold to an undisclosed private investor in July 2016.
The station is currently classified in station category 4.
