Bonn Hauptbahnhof is the most important train station in the federal city of Bonn on the left-hand Rhine route and the eastern terminus of the Voreifelbahn . It belongs to station category 2 and has IC , EC , ICE and night train connections. The Bonn light rail stops under the Deutsche Bahn station .

Around 60 long-distance and 200 local trains run daily at Bonn Central Station . Around 56,000 travelers use the station every day. The station building from 1883-85 stands as a monument under monument protection .

history

Bonn Hbf around 1900

The first train station in Bonn, a little further south than it is today on Poppelsdorfer Allee , was opened by the Bonn-Cölner Railway in 1844 as part of the construction of the left Rhine route between Bonn and Cologne . Over ten years later, on January 21, 1856, the extension of the left Rhine route south from Bonn to Rolandseck station was put into operation. From 1870 the trajectory ended on the right bank of the Rhine at Bonn station. With the opening of the Voreifelbahn to Euskirchen in June 1880, the station finally became a hub. On March 1, 1883, the foundation stone was laid for a new entrance building, which was designed by the master builder Carl Schellen and inaugurated in April 1885; The building manager Traugott Unger was entrusted with the execution and working through of the decorative forms.

“People in Bonn were proud of the stately building. Indeed, the architects had created a successful structure. (...) Overall, the station is a closed structure in melodious rhythms. "

- Olga Sunday (1982)

In the 1930s, the station building was rebuilt - among other things, the upper floor was expanded in 1939 for residential and storage purposes - and the original round-arched doors and the stained glass under the triumphal arch were removed from the entrance portal of the central wing .

After the Second World War, the station recorded a significant increase in importance from 1949, when Bonn became the federal capital . Many politicians, federal employees and administrative employees traveled by train, and the incumbent Chancellors and Federal Presidents (e.g. Adenauer , Brandt , Heuss and Lübke ) used the government train for numerous trips from Bonn Hbf, for which in 1949 there was a separate government platform on the side of the Station was built. This was located at the south-eastern end of Quantiusstraße in the area of ​​today's “bike station” and was provided with a driveway so that particularly important or vulnerable people could be driven directly onto the platform by car.

For many years, state guests were also received in Bonn Hbf. On November 8, 1954, the Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie was the first foreign head of state to travel in a special train to Bonn on a state visit to the still young Federal Republic; he was received there on the decorated platform 1 by Federal President Heuss . Over the decades, the journeys of government members and state guests increasingly shifted from rail to road and plane, so that the government platform was used less and less and was finally demolished during the station renovation in 1991/92.

After Bonn had grown significantly in 1969 through incorporation and now the stations Bad Godesberg , Beuel , Duisdorf , Oberkassel and Mehlem were also located in Bonn, the station was renamed Bonn Central Station in the summer of 1971 .

1991–92 a provisional track called 9 Süd served as an interim solution for the overhaul of trains in Bonn Hbf , here E 3520 (Koblenz - Wuppertal) is waiting for IC 618 (Stuttgart - Münster)

On June 2, 1991, a new and much denser timetable concept was introduced on the Left Rhine route. It was based on overhauls between local and long-distance trains in all node stations. Since only track 1 was regularly available for journeys north in Bonn Hbf at that time, a provisional separate track 9 south with a wooden platform was built on which the local and express trains to Cologne stopped while IC and IR operated on track 1 . Numerous yellow arrows were stuck on platform 1, which showed the passengers the incredibly long-looking footpath to platform 9 south. This track lay on the route of the former train track to Oberkassel and had a makeshift platform made of wood including a train destination indicator, which also had official access from Kaiserstraße at the Königstraße crossing. On October 26, 1992, the extensions to the Bonn tracks were completed to such an extent that from then on local trains ran north from track 2 and track 9 south, including switches and temporary platform, was then dismantled. From then on, the long-distance trains from platform 3 (formerly 2) and the local trains from platform 4, which were waiting to be overhauled, ran southwards.

To the north-west of the passenger station there was a now disused freight station with a small marshalling yard , which was partially dismantled by the Federal Railway Authority on December 12, 2001 and has been partially dismantled to this day. The remaining tracks are used for overtaking freight trains and as a parking facility for turning passenger trains and groups of freight wagons.

During the planning phase of the high-speed line Cologne – Rhine / Main , a tour of the new line via Bonn Central Station was discussed in the 1980s and early 1990s. A tunnel under the city was planned. This tunnel should begin in the northern periphery and enable trains to stop at a depth of 35 m below street level. After crossing under the federal quarter and the Rhine , the route should reach the Siebengebirge and from there follow variant 0, favored by the Deutsche Bundesbahn at the time, via Limburg an der Lahn to Frankfurt (Main) Hauptbahnhof . The additional costs of this variant were estimated at around half a billion euros. A tour of the Bonn-Beuel train station was also discussed. The route in the Logebachtal near Aegidienberg , near the federal motorway 3 , was to be built in a 14-kilometer tunnel. Today, Bonn is indirectly connected to the high-speed line via the Siegburg / Bonn train station , which can be reached from Bonn Hbf by tram (line 66) . Despite the ICE route leading past Bonn with the Siegburg / Bonn train station, Bonn Hauptbahnhof is still an important long-distance stop.

In December 2012, an explosive device was found in a bag on the house platform (track 1) . The station was then closed and the dangerous object defused.

In the course of the expansion and upgrading of the Voreifelbahn, two new tracks and six new points were laid in the former Bonn freight yard in the second half of 2013 in order to disentangle the trains of the Voreifelbahn with the trains on the left-hand Rhine route. After preparatory work from mid-November 2015, the station roof will be renovated from November 2016 until the end of 2020, including installing a new drainage system and replacing the overhead lines , loudspeakers and lighting systems. As of June 2019, the expected costs for the renovation increased from the original 8.7 million euros to 30 million euros.

On November 28, 2015, a Thalys special train with around 100 employees from the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, based in the federal city of Bonn , drove from Bonn main station to the UN climate conference in Paris.

From November 2016, track 1 was closed due to the renovation of the hall roof. Since then, all trains normally departing from platform 1 have operated from platform 2. Especially during rush hour, the platforms were very full, as passengers had to share a platform in the north and south direction. The railway tried to defuse the problem by the fact that the local trains on tracks 2 and 3 each run to the end of the platform, whereby they were offset from each other and the passenger flows were equalized. Since the end of July 2017, there are additional steel scaffolding for the overhead lines on the platform of tracks 2 and 3, which further narrows it. Track 1 could only be used again for local trains from June 2019. Long-distance trains continue to stop on platform 2 due to their length. On January 26, 2020, the station had to be evacuated as a result of a bomb threat .

Rheinuferbahnhof

Until 1985, the Rheinuferbahnhof of the Cologne-Bonn Railways was right next to the main train station . In the course of the light rail construction, the existing buildings in front of the station were demolished and redesigned in the early 1970s. The renovation of the station forecourt very soon became the subject of heated controversy in Bonn and there were several initiatives to redesign it.

Bonn Central Station is the most important train station in Bonn. He owns five platform tracks; the platforms are 76 centimeters high. Their length on tracks 1 to 3 is over 400 meters. The two platforms on tracks 4 (middle platform) and 5 (side platform) have a length of 220 meters and 255 meters respectively, so there is no long-distance traffic on these tracks.

Normally, all local and long-distance trains in the direction of Cologne stop at platform 1. Coming from the north end at track 2 ICE trains, some circuits of the Mittelrheinbahn from Cologne as well as the HVZ amplifiers of the RB 48. Coming from the south the Rhein-Ahr-Bahn ends at track 2 . All local and long-distance trains in the direction of Koblenz depart from platform 3, with the exception of the Rhein-Ahr-Bahn, which runs from platform 4 via Remagen to Ahrbrück. All local trains of the Voreifelbahn start and end on platform 5.

planning

It was planned that trains would run from Bonn main station directly to Cologne / Bonn Airport station through the construction of a new bridge over the Rhine between Niederkassel and Wesseling / Cologne-Godorf . Thus there would be a further connection of the left and the right Rhine route , so that the Bonn-Beuel train station would not be the only entry point within Bonn to reach the airport. Federal Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt decided in his new Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030 that the construction of the Rhine bridge was not a priority. For this reason, the necessary financial resources will not be made available for this project until 2030.

Below the station building there is a subway station of the Bonn light rail . The four-track station was opened in April 1979 - four years after the connected tunnel towards Bad Godesberg . The underground station is designed as an underground intersection of a north-south axis with an east-west axis and is frequented by around 50,000 passengers every day. To the north there are two access routes (to Bonn West and to the town hall ), to the south there are connections for three routes (in the direction of the university / market , to Dottendorf and for the Westbahn previously planned underground ). Trains in north-south direction should be able to cross trains in east-west direction on the same platform without any height. Since only one of the three southern connections has been implemented, the system looks a bit oversized. The tunnel in the direction of Dottendorf is used as a turning system , the one for the Westbahn to park the last eight-axle vehicle left in Bonn. The four tracks are located on two central platforms , with the east-west lines (axis B) originally supposed to stop on the inner and the north-south lines (axis A) on the outer tracks.

According to the standards of the time, the subway station is futuristic, with the colors silver-gray (ceilings and outer walls) and blue (floor and inner walls) dominating. On the outer walls is the so-called Kunstschiene Bonn , which was initiated and carried out by the painter Heinz-Joachim Szymczak and opened in March 1999. It includes the logos of metros from all over the world, symbols of world religions that were attached to the interior walls in the 1990s, and images of children of various deities . The underground station is also intended as a protective bunker for NBC emergencies. It has its own water and electricity supply as well as sanitary facilities (toilets and showers). However, only minimal maintenance work is carried out, which is why this civil defense facility cannot currently be used.

Originally there were only elevated platforms on the outer tracks. Since a tram line also ended at the inner tracks, there were flat platforms there that were prepared for later elevation. After tram line 64 was closed, the inner platforms were raised over a weekend in 1997. A third of the platform remained at the original height so that trams could continue to run there in the event of a malfunction. This was possible because the stop is over 100 meters long, but the B-wagons used - double traction - only just under 60 meters.

Between the inauguration of the tram tunnel in 1975 and the completion of the tram station in 1979, the trams ended at a single-track provisional stop at Am Hauptbahnhof , which was located in the apron of today's main train station under the central bus station . After the start of the light rail service to Cologne (line 16), this system was the reason for many delays in the network. The double-track turning system belonging to the subway station, which is located south under the ZOB, represents the lowest point of the Bonn subway.

Federal Police Station

At the north end of the station building on track 1 there is a federal police station in an annex that performs railway police tasks . The officers are also present at the federal police station in Siegburg . Due to the need for renovation and inadequate equipment of the guard, there have been talks between the Federal Police and DB Station & Service as the owner about its repair and modernization since 2008 . After this was initially to be started at the beginning of 2009, there had been plans since 2012 to replace it with a new "House of Security" to be built, which was to house the federal police station and the facility supported by the city of Bonn and the state police . This was under the name Joint Contact Point Bonn-Innenstadt (GABI) until the beginning of 2017 in the basement of the south building of the station forecourt and is currently located in the nearby Cassius Bastion . The implementation of the "House of Security" project was agreed in principle in 2013, but after a delay of several years, it was abandoned in May 2017 for financial reasons - the city would have required a construction subsidy.

Trivia

In the 1970s, the model railroad accessories companies Faller and Kibri launched models of the station for H0 gauge , Faller also for N gauge . They are now considered classics and are still available today.

The naming of the provisional overtaking track 9 South (due to its remote location and very simple equipment often referred to as the "cat platform "), which was south of the area previously accessible to travelers from 1991 to 1992, was not based on the well-known fictitious platform 9¾ of the ( Really existing) London King's Cross station from the Harry Potter novels, as these appeared only five years later.
