The Wuppertal-Nachbarebreck stop was a stop in the Wuppertal district of Nachbarebreck , in the Bracken settlement . In 1884, the halt was opened under the name Bracken , later it was run under the name Nextebreck (alternating with and without a prefixed city name) until passenger traffic was discontinued .
history
In the spring of 1884, this stop on the Wichlinghausen-Hattingen railway line was opened under the name Bracken to connect the settlement of the same name with the later Barmer district of Wichlinghausen, the districts of the city of Sprockhövel and the city of Hattingen . The opening of the stop is based on the commissioning of this railway line, the concession of which was incumbent on the Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft . On August 5, 1922, the independent office towards Barmen was incorporated, which is why this stop now belonged to the urban area of Barmen and the name was accordingly changed to Barmen-Nachbarebreck . The name was continued despite the establishment of the town of Barmen-Elberfeld in 1929, which was called Wuppertal a year later , in the mid-1930s, probably in 1936, the prefix Barmen was dropped and until 1949 the stop was just next breck . The last renaming, from next breck to Wuppertal-next breck took place in 1949/1950 and was retained until the cessation of passenger traffic in autumn 1979. After giving up the Zugnahverkehrs this route partly served only as a freight line, was up this route in autumn 1991 completely abandoned and rails and signal systems were dismantled in the year 1996th Only the roofed platform and a station sign with the station names in Fraktur font donated by a local heritage association in the Bracken district have been preserved. The track area between the stop and the Schee tunnel was greened.
business
During its existence, the stop was only served by one train line, otherwise there was regular freight train traffic, especially coal transport from the Trappe colliery . From 1889 a branch line to the Trappe colliery in Silschede was put into operation from the following Schee station , which resulted in further train traffic. The importance of the route was confirmed around 1900 with the double-track expansion between Wichlinghausen and Schee, for which a second tunnel tube was necessary before Schee. However, the second track was dismantled again in 1951 and the line remained single-track. The level crossing at the stop was equipped with the then modern systems, but the crossing was confusing due to the kinking and downhill road directly at the level crossing. A house at the level crossing, which was last used as a restaurant and was probably vacant in the late 1960s, was demolished in 1971.
Local transport operation
From 1902 this railway line was operated as the main line, which was used for the transport of people and goods. Initially were steam locomotives of class 78 , each with three or four compartment car used until the 1950s. From 1953 the relatively new " Red Brummer " was used in double traction, which was later replaced by class 515/815 trains .
Situation today
Since the closure of the railway line, the Bracken settlement has once again maintained a village idyll with no connection to public transport . Only the two platforms and a buffer stop bear witness to the former stop . The platform in the direction of Wuppertal- Wichlinghausen was well preserved and cared for by the local heritage association. The wooden waiting hall is still standing, on which the name tag Bracken stop was subsequently attached, referring to the former name of the stop as well as the settlement and the road through it. The Wuppertal-Nachbarebreck station sign , which reproduces the name in Gothic script, was donated by the Heimatverein in the early 1980s, based on the turmoil of war connected with the invasion of Soviet troops. The route was dismantled in 1996, later planted (bracken area) or left to nature . Its course can still be guessed at; In some cases, however, wild growth has spread in the area of the Nahe Breck, where the route leads through a wooded area.
