history

The station with the first reception building around 1880
The second station building

The station was opened in 1878 with the construction of the Moselle route as part of the Berlin – Metz cannon railway. It was initially named "Trier on the right of the Moselle". Since the opening of the Saar line in 1860, Trier already had a train station on the left bank of the Moselle, the Trier West train station , which was also connected to Cologne via the Eifel route in 1871 . This station was renamed "Trier links der Mosel". Due to its favorable location to the city center, the later main train station soon became the city's most important train station and was given its current name in 1903.

The first station building from 1877 was a provisional construction that was built in technical framework. In 1883 the construction of a new, larger building in the Wilhelminian style made of Lorraine sandstone began, the south wing of which was inaugurated on June 8, 1885. After that, the original building was demolished. In 1886 the north wing was also completed. On the occasion of the Heilig-Rock- Pilgrimage in 1933, the main station was converted, which had been planned for several years. The permanent changes included renovations in the interior of the reception building, the installation of a glass front with a large-format clock at the main entrance and the construction of two terraces along the city-side exterior of the building. The station building was destroyed by a bomb attack on September 20, 1944 during World War II.

After the end of the war, passenger traffic was resumed on July 25, 1945, initially only the Karthaus - Waldrach route via Ruwer was used. In front of the destroyed Trier main train station, a temporary barrack had been built that existed for eight years before a new building by the architect Thomas Hoffmann was built from 1950 to 1953.

In 2005, extensive renovation work began in the station area in order to adapt it to the standards of other Intercity Express stations.

  • In the platforms, dimpled paving stones suitable for the blind were placed on the edge of the platforms to mark the edge of the platform .
  • The station building was renovated and rebuilt, retail and catering reorganized.
  • Elevators were installed for barrier-free access to the platforms.
  • Redesign and refreshment of the station district (not completed)

At the end of 2010 it was found that individual facade panels at the entrance portal of the reception building were in danger of collapsing, whereupon this part of the building was scaffolded as a security measure. In 2014, the new roof covering and repairs to the facade began. In addition, the platform roof on tracks 10 and 11 north was demolished. It will only be partially rebuilt on track 11 and instead two weather shelters will be built on track 10 north. The scaffolding at the entrance portal could be removed again in winter 2015/16.

Infrastructure

The station has five platform tracks and four freight tracks. Tracks 10 north and 10 south are end tracks , the remaining platform tracks are through tracks . The platform on track 11 is 437 meters long and 76 centimeters high , the central platform on tracks 12 and 13 is 380 meters long and also 76 centimeters high. Tracks 12 and 13 can be reached via a pedestrian tunnel . Barrier-free access is possible to all platforms.

passenger traffic

Long-distance transport

From 2005 to December 2011 there was an Intercity Express connection in the outskirts of the day from and to Berlin. The train started in Trier in the morning, the return train returned in the evening. It was popularly known as Kasterexpress , referring to Bernhard Kaster , the local member of the Bundestag. In addition, until 2014, two pairs of intercity trains on line 35 ran in the morning on the Moselle route in the direction of Koblenz and on to Emden / Norddeich Mole , in the opposite direction in the late afternoon on the Moselle-Syretal route to Luxembourg . After these two train pairs no longer ran beyond Koblenz to Trier, there was no longer any long-distance passenger rail transport in Trier until December 2017.

In 2015, Deutsche Bahn did not consider a new connection to long-distance traffic to be possible before 2030 for technical reasons. Since December 10, 2017, the Luxembourg CFL has been operating a daily connection from Luxembourg via Trier and Koblenz to Düsseldorf. The train runs from Trier to Koblenz as the regional express line 11. From Koblenz, the train continues as an Intercity to Düsseldorf.

Regional traffic

In local rail passenger transport , the Regional Express (RE) and Regionalbahn (RB) trains serve cities within a radius of around 200 kilometers in the direction of Koblenz / Cologne, Saarbrücken / Mannheim and Luxemburg / Metz . Trier Hauptbahnhof is one of the major regional train nodes in Rhineland-Palatinate .

The trains on lines RE 1 and RE 11 run between Koblenz and Trier in double traction and are winged accordingly in Trier .

The aim is to significantly improve train traffic between Trier and Metz on the Upper Moselle route from 2024. For this purpose, either the RB 82 is to be tied through every hour to Thionville or a new regional express, which runs every two hours, is to be introduced between Trier and Metz.

Station forecourt and surroundings

In front of the train station, as an extension of today's Kürenzer Straße, the terminus of the privately operated Moselle Railway (Bullay – Trier) was located from 1903 . From May 1966, the "Saufbähnchen", as it was popularly known, drove into the main train station before passenger traffic on this route ended in 1968.

In 1890, a horse-drawn tram was opened in Trier, which started at today's main train station. In 1905 the tram replaced the horse-drawn tram. In the place of today's bus station in front of the main train station, there was a station for the tram, which in turn was completely replaced by trolleybuses in 1951.

Around 1980, a new service building was built right next to the station building, in which the DB practice and training rooms, a canteen, the station mission and a row of shops on the ground floor were housed.

Whereas in the past, hotels were predominant in the immediate vicinity of the train station (including the buildings, the Hotel Reichshof and a hotel on the Moltkestraße / Kürenzer Straße curve, among others), the forecourt of the train station is now predominantly dominated by retail. At the southern end it is separated from the Alleencenter shopping center . Comprehensive plans for the redesign of the station forecourt (especially the parking and traffic management situation) are available through an expert workshop held by the city of Trier. The aim is to create a clearly laid out main train station with a new bus terminal and, if necessary, an overpass or underpass to Trier-Gartenfeld .

Road traffic

From the main train station, Bahnhofstrasse leads to the Alleenring . Here you come across Ostallee and Theodor-Heuss-Allee , as well as Christophstrasse and Balduinstrasse . Furthermore, the street In der Reichsabtei branches off here . The city center of Trier can be reached on foot in a few minutes. There is a taxi rank and a bus station directly at the train station , with Kürenzer Strasse at the northern end .

The forecourt offers short-term parking spaces and parking spaces for motorbikes directly in front of the main building. There are also additional parking options at the western end and in the Ostallee multi-storey car park to the south .

Bus traffic (ZOB)

In the evenings and on weekends, the main station is the central stop for the Sternbus service. Every district of Trier can be reached from there without having to change trains.
