The Emden Hauptbahnhof is located in the northern part of the Emsland route Norddeich Mole - Emden - Münster (- Ruhr area ). In Emden, the branch line branches off to Emden Außenhafen station , the second passenger station in the East Frisian seaport city.
history
The first Emden train station was built in 1854 together with the construction of the Hanover West Railway . It was built about two kilometers east of today's main station in the urban polder as a terminal station directly in front of the then inland port (see street name Am Südbahnhof ). The station building was built between 1856 and 1858 according to plans by the architect Conrad Wilhelm Hase , while Albert Bolenius designed the outbuildings. With the start of operations on the East Frisian Coast Railway in 1883, however, the Emden train station came to a peripheral location, as the coast train branched off from the West Railway in front of the train station for reasons of space. Trains going beyond Emden first had to be pushed backwards from the sack station onto the line before they could continue north . To make it easier to differentiate, Emden station was given the name Emden Süd on March 1, 1938 . The buildings were badly damaged in World War II and only partially restored. After the completion of the new main station, passenger services were stopped here on September 25, 1971, and the station building was demolished shortly thereafter. After shunting and freight operations had also ceased here, the tracks were removed in 2005 and a residential area was developed.
During the construction of the East Frisian Coast Railway, a simple Larrelter Straße stop was set up on the western outskirts of Emden near the level crossing of the country road of the same name. With the opening of the meter-gauge Emden – Pewsum – Greetsiel circular railway , whose train station was directly adjacent, traffic continued to increase here from 1899 onwards. After the construction of a railway bypass was finally stopped in 1920, trains that did not begin or end in Emden were increasingly routed directly via Larrelter Straße due to the operational inadequacies of the Emden terminus station. In the years 1935/36, the stop was therefore expanded into a passenger station, which began operations on May 4, 1937 as Emden West . The planned large station building was no longer built. In 1971 the Deutsche Bundesbahn carried out further modifications. Since the change to the 1971/1972 winter timetable on September 26, 1971, all passenger traffic has been handled via this station, which was also named Emden Hbf .
investment
In 1971, the expansion of Emden West into the new central station began. A new building was erected there, which was put into operation on May 24, 1973. The station has the main platform with track 2 and two long central platforms with two tracks each, both platforms have a roof, but the one on tracks 5 and 6 is twice as long as the one on tracks 3 and 4. Due to the underground conditions in Emden ( Marschboden ) the individual tracks are reached with an overpass. Due to the soft marshland, underpasses are relatively expensive and difficult. The station and the forecourt were redesigned to be barrier-free with the central bus station (ZOB) in 2005/2006 . Access to the station is only available from the administrative district , not from Constantia to the west . There are numerous sidings next to the platform tracks.
Freight traffic is mainly handled in the Emden marshalling yard, which is around 1500 meters from the passenger station.
