List of train stations in Essen

The Essen train stations list includes all current and former train stations and stops for passenger rail transport in Essen .

In what is now the city of Essen, the densest railway network in the Ruhr area developed by the end of the 19th century . In 1847, the Cologne-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft opened part of the Duisburg – Dortmund railway line to connect to the then still remote northern areas of Essen with the Essen-Altenessen train station , then called Essen CM . In 1862, the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft established the major east-west connection through Essen with the railway line Witten / Dortmund – Oberhausen / Duisburg , on which the main train station , then Essen BM , is located. The Rheinische Bahn competed since 1866 with another east-west route and the North Station on the Osterath-Dortmund Süd railway that passed north at what was then the center of Essen. These three railway lines formed the basic framework for a large number of cross connections and sidings to the colliery locations and industrial plants at the time of industrialization in Essen.
