The Rheinhausen Ost stop is a regional train station in the Rheinhausen district of Duisburg . It was built in 1907 after the Lower Rhine line had gone into operation for the workers of the Krupp steelworks coming from the left Lower Rhine . The breakpoint was directly at the main entrance to the iron and steel works, the now listed Gate 1.
history
The Rheinhausen Ost halt owes its establishment to a visit by the German Emperor Wilhelm II . A provisional stop was specially set up at the location of the later stop. “The Kaiser arrived at the stop in the Imperial Special Train at 10:05, received by the Krupp Board of Directors” , according to an extra sheet in the General Gazette for the Mörs district . On departure, the Krupp men's choir had positioned itself opposite the imperial saloon car.
On May 16, 1907, the Krupp company asked for a permanent stop to be set up in Hochemmerich , Atrop district, directly at the main entrance to the Krupp company , in order to relieve the Rheinhausen railway station , which was located on the site of the former municipality of Friemersheim , from factory traffic. The rivalry between the two communities at the time led to a heated dispute over the names of the stations; the Rheinhausen train station was to be renamed Friemersheim ; Hochemmerich initially wanted the name Atrop for the Rheinhausen Ost stop and the Krupp-Werke wanted the name Friedrich-Alfred-Hütte . The Rheinhausen station, which was established in 1877, was named Friemersheim when the stop was opened , while the new stop was called Rheinhausen . Only after the municipalities were amalgamated to form the rural municipality of Rheinhausen in 1923 it was renamed again in 1936/37, which is still valid today.
The Prussian Minister of Public Works Paul von Breitenbach approved the breakpoint on the condition that only the workers of the Krupp iron and steel works may use it. Therefore only four trains stopped for the shift changes. The ticket office was issued by the gatekeeper of the Krupp factory, the stop itself was manned by platform attendants. The community of Hochemmerich criticized the few stops and increased the number of trains to ten daily to Krefeld and twelve to Duisburg . The station was later opened to general traffic. The stop was initially equipped with two side platforms. While the northern platform in the direction of Krefeld could be reached via an underpass, the passengers to Duisburg initially had to cross the siding of the ironworks.
After the merger of Friemersheim and Hochemmerich to form the municipality of Rheinhausen in 1923, a memorandum was presented four years later to merge the two stations into one central station. The mayor of Rheinhausen reaffirmed the plan in 1935, as did Bruno Fugmann, the director of Krupp's iron and steel works, the following year. This was approved by the Reichsbahn in 1936, the preparations for war and finally the Second World War ended these plans. In the 1960s, as part of the city center development (now Rheinhausen-Mitte ), the city administration again came up with station plans, but these were only operated half-heartedly by the Krefeld Federal Railroad General Representation. After the local reorganization and the associated incorporation of Rheinhausen into Duisburg in 1975, these plans became obsolete.
With the end of the Krupp steelworks in 1993, the breakpoint lost its importance. In the meantime, only the regional train lines RB33 and RB35 stop here every hour in the direction of Duisburg Hauptbahnhof and in the direction of Krefeld Hauptbahnhof , the RE11 and RB31 are no longer intended to stop at the Rheinhausen Ost stop since the timetable was adjusted a few years ago.
In the station building at the entrance to the trains in the direction of Rheinhausen and Krefeld there was a restaurant called Ritzendiele by the Krupp workers , as well as a ticket office at times. On September 19, 1994 the building burned down and was then torn down without replacement.
traffic
To the south of the stop run non-electrified factory railway tracks , which branch off in the direction of the Rhine bridge on the former Krupp factory site, now Logport , and lead to the various companies on the Logport site and the former Krupp port and the container terminal built there.
Bus lines 914 (Moers - Friemersheim) operated by NIAG and 922 (Winkelhausen - Friemersheim) operated by Duisburger Verkehrsgesellschaft also stop at the stop . The association tariff of the VRR applies .

Directly at the stop, a thoroughfare crosses under the railway line with a sharp curve, known as the Atrop underpass, popularly up to the widening of the passage, which was a hotspot for accidents, especially during the shift change at Krupp, also known as the "mousetrap". Tram line 2 (Homberg - Friemersheim), also known as the “Krumme Linie”, has been running on this street from July 13, 1913 to September 25, 1954 through this street, which was single-lane until the expansion in 1954 .
