Feldhausen is a stop and a former train station in the northeast of Bottrop . The stop has been the only station within the Kirchhellen district since 1960 .

Location and structure

The breakpoint is in the east of the Bottrop district of Feldhausen . The operating point is located at the 14.058 km section of the Winterswijk – Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck railway line ( VzG line 2236 ). The neighboring operating locations are Dorsten in the north and Gladbeck-Zweckel in the south. It has two external platforms, 150 and 155 meters long and 76 centimeters high each . Until 2018, the stop was also a block point on the free route . The two block signals were operated from the signal box Bk on the west side and were located in kilometers 13.8 and 14.4 in front of the entrance to the stop. When the line was connected to the Coesfeld ESTW in December 2018, the block signals were replaced by automatic block signals and the operating point was converted into an unoccupied stop.

Access is at ground level via ramps and, alternatively, via a pedestrian bridge. The distance to the center of Feldhausen is about 500 meters, to Kirchhellen about 3.5 kilometers as the crow flies. The amusement park Schloss Beck is about 400 meters to the southwest . To the northwest, about 600 meters away, is MoviePark Germany .

In the further area there are a total of three level crossings (Bü). From south to north these are the Bü Lippweg in kilometers 13.125, the Bü Am Dornbusch in kilometers 13.619 and the Bü Schloßgasse in kilometers 13.957. Another level crossing was in the course of Feldhausener Straße at kilometer 14.2. It was replaced by a pedestrian overpass and the overpass to the north on Warner-Allee . The two southern crossings were secured by a barrier post until 1988 , the task of which has been taken over by train-operated systems since then ; the Schloßgasse level crossing was monitored by the signal box Bk until 2018.

history

During the construction of the line at the end of the 1870s, the independent community of Feldhausen tried to set up a stop. The main purpose of the station was to handle wood and schnapps from a nearby distillery. The Dutch-Westphalian Railway Company (NWE), which was carrying out the construction, pointed out that the planned access point would be on an incline of 1: 170 and that this incline should not be exceeded in the contract. In addition, the community with the train stations in Gladbeck and Buer-Horst is sufficiently connected.

According to an anecdote, the establishment of the stop is said to be due to the Feldhausen poet Bernharda Wegener. She summarized the wishes of the population in rhyme form and presented this poem to those responsible for the NWE when the route opened. A short time later, the Dorstener Wochenblatt announced that the station would soon open. Albert von Maybach , the royal Prussian minister for public works, approved the construction of the stop on January 17, 1881, which was opened that same year. The station included a platform and a small reception building, which was replaced by a new building at the turn of the century. A waiting room for 3rd class travelers and a restaurant with an attached beer garden were added. Also at the turn of the century, the station received a passing track, and the Fe mechanical signal box went into operation at the same time . With the doubling of the track between Dorsten and Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck in 1907, the interlocking followed St . The overtaking track opened up in the line, Feldhausen was now a block . In 1909 the installation of a second passing track was planned, the construction of which was implemented by 1914, making Feldhausen a train station again.

The high number of passengers - especially in excursion traffic - prompted an extensive expansion in 1933. Ticket issuance and the platform barrier were separated from each other and the barrier combined with a newly built waiting hall. In between, the Reichsbahn built an arcade . The luggage storage and the restaurant were expanded according to the volume.

After 1945, only one track was initially available between Feldhausen and the Zweckel junction. In 1948 the second track was restored. As a result of the steadily falling number of passengers, the Deutsche Bundesbahn downgraded the station to a block section on December 15, 1959. The passing track, which was no longer needed, was closed and dismantled the following year. Instead of the signal box Fe , the Federal Railroad built the block signal box Bk , the signal box St was  converted into barrier post 9. In January 1988 the Federal Railroad had the level crossings monitored by it replaced with train-operated systems, which meant that the item could be omitted.

The ticket issuer was taken over by the station manager from 1954. The falling passenger numbers, however, led to the closure of both facilities by 1969, so that the reception building only served as a waiting room. Since no buyer could be found for the property, it was demolished on July 2, 1974 and replaced by shelters on the platforms.

From the 1960s, the Feldhausen stop gained increasing importance again with the opening of two amusement parks in the immediate vicinity. These are the Beck Castle, opened in 1966, and the Kirchhellener Märchenwald, from which the Traumland Park (opening: July 7, 1967), Bavaria Film Park (opening: June 30, 1996). Warner Brothers Movie Park (opening: June 30, 1996), today the Movie Park Germany emerged . In 2014, both parks recorded annual visits totaling 1.5 million guests, many of whom also come by train due to their convenient location (entrances a maximum of 800 m away). The number of passengers is therefore significantly higher than at comparable stops.

Rail passenger transport

When it opened in 1881, three pairs of passenger trains were running on the route between Bismarck and Winterswijk. These were tied south to Essen and in the north partially to Amsterdam . The offer was continuously expanded and supplemented by various amplifier trains on the Dorsten - Gladbeck - Bismarck section, so that up to 17 pairs of trains ran on the route before the First World War . In addition, in 1914 there were briefly Sunday repeater trains between Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck and Feldhausen.

During the occupation of the Ruhr from 1923 onwards, the traffic slackened considerably, and the Belgian and French occupiers partially closed the route completely. With twelve pairs of trains, the number of trains in 1927 was still lower than in the period before 1914. After the First World War, most of the trains heading north ran to Borken , and international traffic to the Netherlands was of little importance. In the south, the trains now mostly went to Wanne-Eickel instead of Essen, as there was no longer any headache in Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck.

From around 1938 the Deutsche Reichsbahn integrated the trains between Bismarck and Borken into the Ruhr express traffic , which meant an expansion of the offer to 19 pairs of trains and thus an almost hourly service. At the same time, it set up additional trains between Dorsten and Essen, which ran from the Zweckel junction onto the Hamm-Osterfelder Bahn via Gladbeck West and Bottrop Hauptbahnhof . The Ruhr express traffic was given up again in 1941 due to the war.

Between the spring and the end of 1945, the train traffic stopped completely. Until 1950, however, an offer could be made at the pre-war level. As a result of increasing individual traffic, the Deutsche Bundesbahn thinned the offer at the end of the 1950s by canceling the amplifier trains between Wanne-Eickel and Dorsten or Hervest-Dorsten . As a result, the number of passengers continued to decline, so that the route's cost recovery rate in the 1980s was less than 20 percent. An agreement with the state of North Rhine-Westphalia secured the continued existence of the railway initially until 1997, thus preventing its closure. On September 27, 1987, the railway introduced a continuous hourly service between Bottrop Hauptbahnhof and Borken, and there were two-hour local trains between Dorsten and Wanne-Eickel Hauptbahnhof. Trains also stopped on the Oberhausen  - Dorsten - Coesfeld route .

From 1998, the timetable was further expanded. The trains going to Essen have meanwhile been tied through to Velbert-Langenberg , the trains to Wanne-Eickel were extended by Deutsche Bahn to Dortmund and introduced hourly intervals on this line. From 2006 the NordWestBahn took over the management of the lines to Essen and Dortmund. The Oberhausen line was served by the Prignitzer Eisenbahn from 2002 , and the NordWestBahn has also been running here since 2008. The RB43 line to Dortmund has been operated by DB Regio NRW since the 2015 timetable change . With the timetable change in December 2019, the RB44 line was discontinued, while the RE14 line in the Dorsten - Essen section was reduced to a half-hourly service.

Rail freight transport

Although goods were also to be handled in Feldhausen, the station was primarily used for passenger traffic. The shipping of schnapps and wood planned by the municipality did not materialize. From May 20, 1911, milk freight trains stopped in Feldhausen. This offer was maintained and partially expanded during the First World War.

There is no information available about when these trains were discontinued and whether there was further freight traffic in Feldhausen.
