Railway stations in North Rhine-Westphalia

The Hauptbahnhof Duisburg is the largest and most important passenger station of the city of Duisburg and railway junction of several major rail lines . It is the stop of all Intercity Express and Intercity lines that touch it and is also served by many Regional Express and regional train lines and the Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn .

Duisburg Central Station is one of the 21 stations in the highest price class  1 from DB Station & Service and is the central hub for passenger rail transport in the western Ruhr area and on the Lower Rhine .

Location and importance

Duisburg Central Station is located on the " Rheinschiene ", one of the most important rail connections from southern Germany and Switzerland to the Netherlands , to northern and eastern Germany .

The following routes converge in Duisburg:

• The most important route is the main route running straight south to Cologne via Düsseldorf Airport and Düsseldorf Central Station , this is one of the busiest in Germany and is planned for a six-track expansion in the federal transport infrastructure plan (currently only four to five tracks in some cases).
• The freight line to Cologne, which runs largely parallel to the south, via Duisburg-Wedau station to the current terminus at Duisburg-Entenfang (the "Ratinger Western Line ", which was shut down in the 1970s, is to be extended to Düsseldorf again, according to the wishes of many residents).
• The line running southwest to Mönchengladbach Hauptbahnhof via Krefeld Hauptbahnhof and Viersen Station is of regional importance. From here the Lower Rhine route branches off at Rheinhausen station to Xanten via Moers . See also Osterath-Dortmund Süd railway and Duisburg-Ruhrort-Mönchengladbach railway .
• The two- to three-track continuation of the Cologne-Minden trunk line to Dortmund Hauptbahnhof runs northwards via Wanne-Eickel Hauptbahnhof . From here the Dutch route branches off at Oberhausen Hauptbahnhof to Amsterdam Centraal station via Wesel station and Emmerich station .
• To the east, the four-track Ruhr area main line branches off to Dortmund Hauptbahnhof via Essen Hauptbahnhof and Bochum Hauptbahnhof .

Importance for long-distance traffic

At the turn of the millennium, the Duisburg main station was downgraded  to the second row by the Deutsche Bahn from the highest station category 1 (then the marketing term "long-distance traffic node"), which was determined according to rather subjective criteria . For decades, Deutsche Bahn had repeatedly postponed urgently needed maintenance work, but the urgently needed thorough renovation of the long-distance traffic hub could not be financed in view of the planned IPO of Deutsche Bahn, whereupon the station was unceremoniously degraded to a "long-distance traffic system stop".

After DB Netz introduced an objective calculation basis for its categories at the request of the Federal Network Agency at the beginning of 2011 , Duisburg should have returned to the highest category in the same year. However, this only happened with the revision of the station price list for 2012.

Duisburg has been served by Thalys since August 2011 . In the 2016 timetable with four pairs of trains a day, three times from Dortmund Central Station and once from Essen Central Station to Paris North .

The Hamburg-Cologne Express also stopped in Duisburg; Flixtrain has been running in its place since March 23, 2018 .

Importance for local traffic

Although Duisburg Central Station plays an important role in regional and long-distance traffic, its importance for inner-city rail traffic is rather minor. This is primarily due to the fact that the cities or districts incorporated north of the Ruhr had a different transport orientation in the early years of the railway.

A major factor here was that between Duisburg and the north of today's city, the Ruhr estuary with the Duisburg and Ruhrort ports was an area that was difficult to overcome in terms of railway construction. The entire area north of the Ruhr was oriented towards the north-eastern routes of the Cologne-Minden Railway with Oberhausen as the center. Several regional connections ran like a fan in an east-west direction through the north of Duisburg with the start or end point at Oberhausen Hauptbahnhof (including Ruhrort, Beeck, Hamborn and Walsum).

statistics

Up to 100,000 travelers and visitors reach this station every day, which is served by around 150 long-distance trains. At the intersection between the Ruhr area and the Rheinschiene, the station is one of the largest transfer stations for local and long-distance traffic in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia . In total, it is used by around 700 local and long-distance trains every day.

Surroundings

The A 59 city ​​motorway, which is now covered here, passes in front of the main west entrance (picture from 2004).

Duisburg main station, main east entrance

The West branch of DB Netz AG , which is responsible for the rail network in western Germany, and a branch of DB Cargo Germany are located in the immediate vicinity of the main station in the Duissern district .

To the south of the platform is the parking station for passenger coaches , but the workshop has been closed. In the meantime, a new depot of Abellio Rail NRW has been opened at this point , which is used for the maintenance of trains on the Lower Rhine network. To the southwest of the passenger station is the site of the also disused Duisburg freight station , a former freight and marshalling yard , at the southwest end of which there was also a largely dismantled depot . Its systems designed for the maintenance and supply of steam locomotives included u. a. also a turntable with roundhouse , the latter and the water tower, which has just been converted into a restaurant, are the only remaining witnesses of this time.

The entire site is one of the largest German inner-city open spaces that Deutsche Bahn AG intends to sell to interested investors for conversion. The plan to build the largest shopping center in Germany was replaced by a different concept by the City Council of Duisburg due to the feared desertification of Duisburg city center.

Together with Deutsche Bahn, the city is planning to develop the 35 hectare area into a new Duisburg district. From 2010, another office and service location close to the city will be built under the name “Duisburger Freiheit”. Urban development has already started in a part of the Duisburger Freiheit. The construction of a new car park and the new building for the State Office for Nature, Environment and Consumer Protection were opened by 2018 . The further development of the sub-area "Quartier 1" is in the concrete planning.

In 2015, despite protests from many people in Duisburg, 22 avenue trees were felled on Mercatorstraße in front of the train station for a new street layout. In the meantime, the entire area around the station has been redesigned by swiveling Mercatorstrasse and reducing the number of car lanes. A new office building with the name "Mercator One" is currently being built on the newly gained area by 2020.

In May 2018, the redesigned station forecourt, Portsmouthplatz , was opened between Mercatorstrasse and the main entrance. Since the old, also outdated long-distance bus station had to change location due to a new hotel, a new long-distance bus station was opened in June 2017 at the intersection with Koloniestrasse, which was awarded the title "Mobility Hub of the Year".

The redesign of the east entrance of the main train station is also being planned and should take place from spring 2020. For this purpose, the intersection will be converted into a roundabout and the entire square will be redesigned.

history

The former building complex of the Duisburg train station around 1910.

The northern area around the Duisburg train station on Koenigstrasse , 1911.

Former private railways

The railway age in Duisburg began on February 9, 1846, when the Cologne-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (CME ) inaugurated the second section of its main line from Cologne-Deutz to Minden (Westf) with its Duisburg train station . The following year, Hamm (Westf) was reached on May 15, 1847 , so that Duisburg was no longer a terminus, but a through station on the route from Düsseldorf to Oberhausen.

Fifteen years later, in 1862, the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (BME) opened its east-west connection through the Ruhr area from Dortmund or Witten to Duisburg and built its station in the immediate vicinity of the existing station, in contrast to This, however, not as a through station, but as a terminus , which was only approached from the northeast.

On February 15, 1870, a branch line of the Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (RhE), initially only three kilometers long, went into operation from the Hochfeld train station to Duisburg, which then became the starting point for the new line to Quakenbrück in 1879, so the third station was at the same Place also a through station again.

Prussian State Railways

The station buildings of the three railway companies were preserved and were only demolished when, after the nationalization and the transfer to the Prussian State Railways, a joint station building was to be built in an island location between the platforms of the individual routes.

The access to this building was from the north from Mülheimer Straße, which at that time was crossed at the same level and secured with level crossings. It was not until the end of the 19th / beginning of the 20th century that all tracks were raised.

German Reichsbahn

Floating hall construction

Roofing with clapboard windows on the east side

The station of the Prussian State Railways, which was incorporated into the Deutsche Reichseisenbahnen (from 1924 DRG - Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft ) in 1920, was expanded to its present size and rebuilt in the early 1930s. The buildings were replaced by modern new buildings.

The station building of the passenger station at Portsmouthplatz , which still exists today, was built in the years 1931 to 1934 under the direction of Government Building Director Johannes Ziertmann (architect at the Reichsbahndirektion Essen ) in the New Objectivity style and was considered one of the most modern station buildings of its time. It can be compared with the main railway stations in Düsseldorf and Oberhausen, which were built in the same era . The two sculptures on the front of the steel-framed counter hall were made by the Essen sculptor Joseph Enseling . The platform roofs are structurally similar to the roofs of the Düsseldorf main train station ( Vierendeelträger ) that were scrapped in the 1980s and conceptually follow the roofs of the Darmstadt main train station built before the First World War . The Duisburg platform roofs were the first completely welded steel construction of this size.

The main station was badly damaged in one of the air raids on the Ruhr area during World War II.

German Federal Railroad

Rebuilt after the war, the station building was rebuilt several times. During the redesigns, the appearance was simplified several times in favor of functionality; so are z. B. the paintings in the main hall initially disappeared behind veneers, later under paint.

In 1992, as part of the inauguration of the Duisburg Stadtbahn, the new "Linking Hall North" was put into operation. For this purpose, all six platforms were extended several hundred meters in the direction of the former underpass (Mülheimer Straße / Königstraße) and provided with simple platform roofs are visually clearly different from the old platform hall.

Deutsche Bahn AG

The condition of the station is considered to be poor, the roof and track systems are considered dilapidated. The urgently needed renovation or the new construction of the track roofing and an interior design of the train station corresponding to the German metropolitan standard - Duisburg is one of the 15 largest cities in Germany - as in many other major cities in North Rhine-Westphalia (see Dortmund Hbf , Münster (Westf) Hbf ) delayed for decades.

Despite its central location and importance for the surrounding area, Duisburg Central Station was recently downgraded from Category 1 ("long-distance traffic node") to Category 2 ("long-distance traffic system stop"), although three long-distance traffic lines converge here (see section Long-distance traffic ). In the meantime, the station has been returned to category (today price range) 1.

On November 21, 2008, the storm "Irmela" covered parts of the platform roof, the entire station had to be closed for several hours.

Refurbishment from 2009

Reception hall about to be completed

On December 12, 2008, Deutsche Bahn AG and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia announced that the urgently needed renovation work would begin in mid-2009. The total costs were put at around 60 million euros.

The first construction phase includes the renovation of the reception hall and the underpass. Among other things, the interfering false ceilings are to be removed and the building restored to its original state. Refurbishment work on the listed facade is not planned. The costs for the first construction phase are estimated at 10.1 million euros.

On July 24, 2009, the renovation work on the first construction phase began, and on December 22, 2009, the main renovation work in the reception hall was completed. From January 2010 the renovation of the passenger tunnel went into the second round.

In 2012, Deutsche Bahn presented plans for a new hall roof in the form of a wave. The renovation was originally scheduled to begin in mid-2017 and should be completed in 2022. Finally, the overhead line system will be converted from 2021 to 2024. However, in May 2017 it became known that the construction project would be postponed indefinitely, as only one provider had applied for the tender and the costs were well above the price expectations of Deutsche Bahn. In April 2019, a new schedule was announced after the plans for the station concourse are to be revised again and construction work is to begin in the first quarter of 2022. The wave shape of the roof should be retained in the planning.

Local transport

→ Main article : Duisburg Hauptbahnhof underground station

In local road transport , the main station is the central point of connection with the Duisburg city railway lines and various bus, express bus and night bus routes (see main article). The buses stop at two stops at the main train station:

• Duisburg Hbf above the underground station at the northern end of the platforms and

Freight transport

The former main freight station in Duisburg Güterbahnhof (Gbf), which was directly connected to the main station to the southwest, has largely been demolished. Access for cars and people is from the south via the Karl-Lehr-Straße tunnel. The tunnel to the south of the main station connects the areas on both sides of the railway site in an east-west direction. From there, two ramps branch up to the former goods halls. At the Love Parade 2010 there was a fatal accident among the visitors during a crowd .

A further use of the freight yard area is being negotiated under the term Duisburger Freiheit . Access for cars and people from the main train station from the north is via the street "Am Güterbahnhof" between the motorway and the tracks.

Federal Police

The Duisburg Federal Police Station is located at Duisburg Central Station . The superordinate agency is the Federal Police Inspectorate in Düsseldorf .
