Dortmund Hauptbahnhof is the most important train station in the city of Dortmund and, with around 130,000 travelers every day, is the 14th most frequented long-distance train station of Deutsche Bahn . The crossing station on the northern edge of the city center has 16 platform tracks and is one of the 21 stations in the highest price class  1 from DB Station & Service .

The facilities also include the depot located east of the line to Hamm at the Dortmund depot , which is recorded in the operating location directory as Dortmund Bbf . The Dortmund Stadtbahn has a station of the same name under the main train station, which is served by four of the eight lines.

history

1847 to 1909: early years

Old station building until 1910

The Dortmund main station has its origins in the station of the " Köln-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft " (CME for short because of the spelling of Cologne at the time ), which opened on May 15, 1847 north of the city center. Two years later, the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (BME) connected its station, which was operated as a pure (adjacent, somewhat south-facing) terminus station to the existing station, the main line to Elberfeld (today Wuppertal) and the line to Soest (from 1855) and the Ruhr area route to Duisburg and Oberhausen (from 1860).

1910 to 1945: expansion and destruction

Old station building until 1944

The original station building in an island location, with access from the castle gate, was replaced in 1910 by a spacious new building at the current location. The tracks were raised in order to end the obstruction of road traffic by barred level crossings. This second Dortmund train station was inaugurated on December 12, 1910 and was one of the largest in the German Empire when it opened . The station was named "Dortmund Hbf" on October 1, 1912.

On June 30, 1943, the D  24 ran into a passenger train after a mistake by the dispatcher . 28 people died and 90 were also injured.

On the evening of October 6, 1944, the station and the trains in it were destroyed by an Allied air raid on Dortmund . In addition to the main train station, the attack also hit large parts of the city center, killing at least 1,148 people.

1946 to 2009: functional building and failed renovation plans

The 50s: new reception building and serious accident

After the Second World War , the badly damaged old station building of Dortmund Central Station was replaced by a functional building in 1952. It is considered inconspicuous, but houses important glass motif windows from the former working world in Dortmund. Five large glass pictures documented Dortmund's economy. In the middle one that presented the city as one of the labor, framed left and right by a steelworker, a blast furnace worker, a beer brewer and a bridge builder. In the course of the renovation work on the station, the glass pictures were dismantled and taken to the Hattingen Industrial Museum in Henrichshütte for exhibition . They have been replaced by copies that are true to the original.

On December 18, 1954, a serious railway accident occurred at a construction site in the station area : due to an incorrectly set switch , the outgoing local train N 2903 and the incoming EKi 4224 collided. 15 people died and 71 others were injured.

From 1952, a BALI cinema was housed in the reception building of Dortmund Central Station west of the main entrance . The discotheque Live Station had existed in these rooms since 1986. In April 2009 the discotheque closed for good as part of the preparations for the renovation.

1997 to 2000: Ufo conversion plans

From 1997 a new construction of the Dortmund main station was discussed. The original plan envisaged the development in the form of an “oversized UFO” with 80,000 square meters of usable space. A 55 meter high building with 8 floors was planned. On October 7, 1998, a corresponding letter of intent was signed between Deutsche Bahn, the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and Westdeutsche Immobilienbank. The DM 850 million project was to be completed by 2002. However, the plans for the so-called "Dortmund UFO" were rejected and not pursued any further.

2001 to 2007: conversion plans 3do

At the beginning of 2001 a new investor was found with the Portuguese investor group Sonae Imobilia ria. As early as the first quarter of 2001 new designs were to be implemented by architectural firms and the DM 1.2 billion project should be completed by 2006. The new building was referred to as 3do . 75 million euros federal and 55 million euros state funding were guaranteed. 36,000 square meters of retail space and 26,500 square meters of entertainment space were planned. On February 3, 2006, the Essen branch of the Federal Railway Authority (EBA) passed the planning approval decision for "3do". On February 28, 2007, Deutsche Bahn announced that the investor did not finally want to sign the contract.

Investment backlog

The two failures of a new building resulted in a considerable investment deficit at Dortmund Central Station. Only the head platforms (tracks 2-5) and the platform to the S-Bahn lines S 1 and S 2 (tracks 6-7) have a public elevator system. On all other platforms, the freight elevator, which is not integrated into the pedestrian area, can be used instead (and only on request). With 130,000 travelers per day, Dortmund's main train station is the largest train station that is not yet barrier-free and, along with Cologne Messe / Deutz , only one of two class 1 train stations to which this applies. The second largest train station to which this applies is Munich-Pasing with 85,000 passengers per day .

From 2009: Partial renovation and starting shot for barrier-free renovation

2009 to 2011: renovation of the reception building

In a first construction phase, the reception building and the associated operating areas were gutted from 2009. During the construction work, the DB travel center and the restaurant of a fast food chain were housed in containers in front of the train station, as were the federal police and the train station mission . On June 17, 2011, the first construction phase was formally completed. Of the total costs of 23 million euros, the federal government contributed 13.3 million euros, the state 1.4 million euros and Deutsche Bahn 8.3 million.

2014: Reconstruction of the tram stop

Widened platform of the light rail towards the city center.

The planned renovation of the tram stop began in 2014 and should be completed in 2019. To this end, the eastern station tunnel is being redesigned with lots of metal, artistically designed glass surfaces and floors made of light natural stone. In addition, additional routes to the platforms of the light rail will be created and the platforms will be significantly widened. In addition to these plans, route security was carried out to the east and west of the platforms for a third and fourth track on the platform. Costs of 37 million euros were estimated, of which 33.3 million euros were allocated to the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The urban platform towards the city center has been completed and accessible since spring 2020.

From 2017: start of the major renovation

The plans for the reconstruction of the station became much more functional after the failures of the very ambitious projects. The planning focused primarily on the function of the station and not on large sales areas. The previously planned complete redesign of the station turned into a modernization including the installation of elevators.

For the modernization and the barrier-free expansion of the station, the federal, state and railways are providing 107 million euros.

The renovation began in the 2nd quarter of 2017 with preparatory work, and in July 2018 the first groundbreaking ceremony was completed. The renovation should be completed in 2024.

After that, the passenger tunnel will gradually be widened from 9.50 meters to 13.20 meters, the platforms and roofs will be rebuilt, the routes to the platforms will be equipped with escalators and lifts will be installed in the middle of the tunnel. In addition, there are tactile guidance systems and more information monitors. Once these work steps have been completed on a platform, the next one follows (descending from platform 8 (tracks 26 and 31) to platform 3). Subsequently, the connecting structure south, which represents the current transition to the light rail, is to be modernized and barrier-free. Platform 2 and 1 are the last to follow, which will have roofs in addition to their current state. At the same time, the construction of another connecting structure in the north is to begin. Here, on the one hand, sales areas are to be set up and a further transition to the tram created. For this purpose, the city of Dortmund is planning to accommodate the central bus station and the long-distance bus station here and design the whole thing as a ramp that would cover today's central bus station.

At the same time, the connection to the Rhein-Ruhr-Express is to take place and the track plan is to be comprehensively redesigned. One of the most important measures is the installation of additional points to enable the simultaneous entry and exit of three trains. At the moment this is only possible with two trains. Furthermore, a flyover structure is being discussed, which should enable the RRX to not have to cross the other tracks towards Hamm to Münster. However, this is associated with considerable costs.

On August 1, 2019, a worker was killed in a flashover from the overhead line. The electricity on the overhead line should actually be turned off, until today it is unclear why it was still flowing.

Since September 2019, the northernmost platform with tracks 26 and 31 has been in operation again after the renovation.

At around the same time it became publicly known that the renovation of the tram station was being delayed and would become more expensive by around € 4 million. Completion is expected in 2022 at the earliest. The reasons given were measurement errors and general construction errors by the executing companies. The sheet metal parts that are to decorate the shell must first be ordered after the previous part has been installed, as only then are the required dimensions known. The manufacturing company reportedly had problems with delivery times. The generally complicated architecture and deviations from the originally known construction plans of the shell would make things even more difficult.

Relatively close to the east of the station, in the Körne district, there is the depot with an ICE maintenance facility and the maintenance facility for the RRX trains in the Westfalenhütte district .

Furnishing

The station has a relatively low level of equipment for its size. The sales area is comparatively small and there are hardly any public seats inside the train station. In addition, there is hardly any accessibility. Travelbook gives it the rating of “Europe's dirtiest train station” in 2020.

Otherwise he has u. a. a service area, toilets and lockers.

Others

On May 1, 2017, the ICE 945 derailed at around 6:50 p.m. when entering Dortmund's main train station for reasons unknown. There were two injured, one person was hospitalized. As a result, the station was completely closed for over two hours. During the necessary repairs to the infrastructure, there were profound restrictions in the entire local traffic in the Ruhr area. Not until May 24, 2017, i.e. more than three weeks later, did all trains run again as planned.

Trivia

In connection with the main train station, a bon mot by the former mayor Günter Samtlebe has become known , who called the station a "chip shop with a siding" to emphasize the poor condition. The station is jokingly referred to as such by Dortmunders to this day.
