Hamm (Westphalia) Hauptbahnhof (until December 14, 2019 Hamm (Westphalia) ) is the most important train station in the North Rhine-Westphalian city ​​of Hamm . Its imposing reception building is a figurehead and a striking entrance to the city. The facility also serves as an important railway junction in North Rhine-Westphalia, especially for the eastern Ruhr area . It is part of the network of Deutsche Bahn AG . It is also called the Westphalian Railway Cross.

history

Hamm train station was inaugurated in 1847 as part of the construction of the main line of the Cologne-Minden Railway Company . The first train reached the city on the Lippe on May 15 via the route from Dortmund . Five months later, they drove on to Minden for the first time .

From the beginning, Hamm was planned as a hub station . In May 1848, the route to Münster was opened by the Münster-Hammer Railway Company and on October 4, 1850 the route to Warburg via Soest and Paderborn was opened by the Royal-Westphalian Railway Company . Finally, the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft opened its line from Hagen via Unna in 1866 .

As a result of the strong growth in train traffic, the capacities of the track systems were soon no longer sufficient. From 1911 onwards, a large-scale renovation was started, which was completed in 1929. In this context, the tracks were raised and the over 60-year-old station in the form of an island station was replaced by the current building, which was completed in 1920.

As part of this renovation, two large railway depots were built: Hamm P for the passenger station and Hamm G for the marshalling yard , as well as a parking yard for passenger trains and a local freight yard . Hamm therefore developed into a typical so-called railway town .

The old station building (1906)
The badly damaged station is captured by US soldiers on April 6, 1945.

Because of the great importance of the railway facilities, especially the marshalling yard , they were repeatedly exposed to air raids during World War II and were badly damaged. Over 80% of the city of Hamm was destroyed. On June 18, 1945 the first passenger trains ran again between Hamm, Dortmund and Duisburg , and from June 20, passenger trains ran again to Bielefeld, Münster and Soest.

On May 10, 1957, the first electrified line to Düsseldorf went into operation, and in December 1970 the line to Paderborn was the last line from Hamm to be electrified.

In 1984, Hamm became an intercity station and the ICE was added in the early 1990s.

The post station at the northern end of the station, which was also provided with a drainage mountain , has been completely shut down as a result of the shift in mail transport to road traffic . Today the access tracks have been removed and the site was sold to private investors and is now used by the city of Hamm as a storage hall for vehicles.

With the timetable change in December 2019, the station was officially named Hauptbahnhof. Since then, the official name of the station has been Hamm (Westf) Hbf , the operating point is still referred to as Hamm (Westf) Pbf .

The station did not become fully barrier-free until 2020, with the retrofitting of an elevator (the last one missing so far) on the platform of tracks 12 and 13 as part of the expansion for the Rhein-Ruhr-Express .

Reception building

The reception building in its current form was opened on October 14, 1920. It is an example of a representative building in the style of a historicism that quotes late Baroque forms , designed by the Royal Building Councilor Karl Hüter (1867–1920). The roof and vaults were damaged during World War II, but were soon restored.

In 1985 the station was modernized in the style of the time, with the end walls of the hall clad with metal panels and the travel center built into the station hall in the form of a glass hall.

In 1999 the station was completely renovated as part of the International Building Exhibition Emscher Park (IBA) and returned to its original state. This is how the hall was created again as it can be seen today. The station received the Europa Nostra Prize in 2001 for its authentic renovation .

The reception building has been a listed building since 1990 .

Today's meaning

The station is an important junction in Westphalia on the eastern edge of the Ruhr area and belongs to the second highest station category . This is where the course book routes 400, 410, 415.1, 430 and 455 begin and lead in the direction of Bielefeld , Münster , Dortmund , Paderborn and Hagen . The Hamm-Osterfelder Bahn , on the eastern section of which passenger traffic was discontinued in 1983, is an important freight route .

In long-distance passenger traffic is Hamm system halt several Intercity Express - and Intercity -lines. The trains from Berlin , consisting of two ICE-2 sub-trains, are a specialty. They are winged in Hamm and run separately via the central Ruhr area to Düsseldorf or via Hagen and through the Bergisches Land to Cologne .

In addition, two intercity lines operate between the Ruhr area and eastern Germany, either every two hours via Hanover and Magdeburg to Leipzig or every six hours via the Central Germany connection via Kassel and Erfurt to Gera .

The station took in 2008 every day about 22,500 people in the regional rail transport , yet in 1997 there were only around 10,000. Every day around 350 long-distance and local trains head for Hamm.

reminiscence

As early as 1967 , the German songwriter Reinhard Mey sang a ballad on his first studio LP I wanted to sing like Orpheus from the "Hauptbahnhof Hamm". Your text is more of a snapshot of the nighttime atmosphere and has little to do with it.
