The Oberbilker Markt / Warschauer Straße underground station (referred to as Oberbilker Markt underground station in the planning phase ) is a station on the Düsseldorf city railway . It is located on the first trunk line in the Oberbilk district of the North Rhine-Westphalian state capital Düsseldorf . The station built below the eponymous square Oberbilker Markt was opened to traffic on June 15, 2002. Together with Kölner Straße, which runs past in north-south direction, the square forms the center of the district. Metro Station provides access to the adjacent commercial center and office - and district court . It is served by the U74, U77 and U79 light rail lines. A link with other lines of the Düsseldorf transport consists of an aboveground station of the tram . In 2002, the number of people entering, leaving and switching was around 10,000 to 15,000 per working day. The platforms arranged on the side are a specialty in the Düsseldorf tunnel network, with the exception of the two other underground stations on this route.
location
The underground station is located southeast of the city center in the Oberbilk district. Behind the main station, the trunk lines that run together in the inner city tunnel are divided up again. The second trunk line towards Eller will be continued via the Handelszentrum / Moskauer Strasse subway station and the first trunk route to the Oberbilker Markt / Warschauer Strasse subway station. After she has passed this, the tunnel runs below Kölner Straße further south through the Oberbilk district and reaches the Ellerstraße underground station .
The station itself is located in a central location within the Oberbilk district. The former working-class district has its district center here and in the Kölner Straße to the south. Up until the 1990s, one of three Karstadt department stores in Düsseldorf existed on Oberbilker Markt . For the new conception and marketing of the space by the city of Düsseldorf, the traffic development through the two underground stations was a central component. In the course of the subsequent restructuring of the previously industrially used areas north and east of the Oberbilker Markt, numerous new buildings have been built in recent years. For example, the "House of Economy and Industry" planned as an international trade center is directly connected to the square. Numerous companies have their German headquarters or their regional offices there. These include Stora Enso , PricewaterhouseCoopers and Deutsche WertpapierService Bank . In addition, Düsseldorf's new justice center is located on a plot of land to the southeast of Oberbilker Markt. Since 2010 it has housed the Düsseldorf district court and the regional court. The underground station ensures a good connection to the public transport network and at the same time offers a fast connection to the public prosecutor's office in the city center.
In addition to the already mentioned north-south connection Kölner Straße, the square is also crossed by Werdener Straße, which continues to the west as Kruppstraße. These are part of the federal highway 8 .
history
Instead of today's underground station, there has been a stop since the beginning of the Düsseldorf tram . This was served by the overground tram lines until its opening and was shut down on that day. The former platforms, with the exception of the dismantled furniture, were still recognizable until the street space was converted in 2010. With the inclusion of the Oberbilk district in the city's plans to create a tunnel-guided rapid transit system in the city, the Oberbilk market early became the location of a planned underground station. The opening of this section was planned for 1985 following the completion of the inner city tunnel. However, due to the delays in the construction of the tunnel in the city center, this schedule could not be maintained. Instead, work began on building the tunnel extension to Eller in August 1989 , which was completed in September 1993. In previous years, the setting of priorities for the upcoming tunnel construction was discussed. The focus was on the construction of the long-discussed Wehrhahn line . However, problems arose in the subsequent negotiations with the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia about financial support. The responsible Minister of Transport, Franz-Josef Kniola , did not want to promote a complete tunnel through the city center. This fundamental disagreement between town and country led to the Oberbilk section being preferred to the Wehrhahn Line project.
The construction work for the tunnel in Oberbilk began in January 1994. The specialty of this tunnel section lies in the construction method. Up to this point in time, all tunnels were built using the classic top-down method . In Oberbilk, however, a tunnel boring machine was used. For this purpose, construction sites were first set up at the future underground stations. Ceiling panels and side retaining walls were installed under the road surface, under which the later train stations were set up. After the use of the shield tunneling machine between October 1998 and March 1999, excavation began underneath this “ Düsseldorf cover ” and the resulting tunnel was opened. For this purpose, the segments that had served to support the tunnel walls were removed again.
The line connecting to the north of the underground station was built using the cut-and-cover method. The drive of the shield tunneling machine for the section adjoining it to the south ended exactly at the Oberbilker Markt / Warschauer Straße underground station. With the breakthrough through the end wall erected there, the tunnel between the south of Oberbilks and the Oberbilker Markt was completely built and the end of the journey could be celebrated there. The shield tunneling machine was then dismantled and the technical expansion of the tunnel and the underground station began.
The name of the underground station used in the planning and construction phase only contained a reference to the Oberbilker Markt. On the wasteland northeast of the square, the new streets were named after the twin cities of Düsseldorf. The Handelszentrum underground station was renamed Handelszentrum / Moskauer Straße and the Oberbilker Markt underground station under construction was renamed Oberbilker Markt / Warschauer Straße. In the floor of the distribution level of the subway station, a sign was put up explaining the twinning between Warsaw and Düsseldorf.
On June 15, 2002, the opening of the Oberbilker Tunnel and thus that of the Oberbilker Markt / Warschauer Strasse underground station was celebrated with a district festival and operations on this section of the route with the U74, U77 and U79 tram lines began.
Station complex
The station has three entrances. The eastern one, protected from the weather, is in the access area of the House of Economy and Industry. There is an escalator with a change of direction if necessary, as well as a staircase . The same is on the other side of Kölner Straße. Here, however, the access area is kept open and oriented towards the tram stop to the south. The above-ground access area also includes an elevator system , which enables barrier-free access to the underground station. On both sides of the street, the current waiting times of the underground trains are displayed on display devices, the so-called dynamic passenger information .
Both entrances and the elevator lead to a common distribution level , which is arranged at a 90-degree angle to the platforms below . It opens up to these and forms a gallery . This means that approximately half of the platform area can be seen from the distributor level. The result is a hall about 10 meters high, supported by three pairs of columns on each side of the platform. Such generosity in the design was not to be found at the Düsseldorf underground stations until the opening of the Oberbilker line. A similar construction can only be found in the Oberbilk Bf./PhilipsHalle underground station .
The 90 meter long, laterally arranged high-floor platforms are accessible via escalators as well as fixed stairs and lifts. The operating rooms of the underground station are housed underneath. The side platforms at all three underground stations and on the adjoining above-ground stops to the south are so far unique in the Düsseldorf light rail network.
In addition to the structural form with side platforms, the fourth generation of subway stations in Düsseldorf also differs from their predecessors in terms of design. The previous underground stations, which were often perceived as dark and cramped, were the reason for a new design approach in the three structures in Oberbilk. The concept of the architect Wolfgang Döring is characterized by a high level of clarity in the building and the use of light materials.
The floors of the platform areas and the distribution level were covered with gray, non-slip granite . The use of this material varies in two places. A row of tiles with fine grooves was laid in front of the platform edges to make them recognizable for the disabled. In addition, the entrances and exits of the staircases were marked with a darker natural stone . 3300 square meters of these materials were used in the three subway stations in Oberbilk.
The wall surface from the floor to a height of 1.75 meters was also designed with granite. Light and dark stripes of the highly polished surfaces alternate. The area above was designed with neopariés, a glass material . This building material, which originated in Japan, was used in numerous subway stations in Tokyo . In addition to its material nature, it is characterized by its light color. In addition to the walls, the columns were also covered with it. The ceiling is finished with white aluminum cassettes. The ceiling areas above the track area are an exception. The dark gravel of the track area has its counterpart in the exposed, dark-colored concrete ceiling above.
Similar to the previous subway stations, metallic colors were used for the furnishings . The equipment includes several benches that are arranged in pairs. There are also showcases with maps of the area and timetables and changing information. The station name is written in black on a white background on panels that are embedded in the wall cladding. This shape differs from the previous narrow signs with wine-red edge strips in the older subway stations in Düsseldorf, which formed a coherent band there. This tradition was not continued in Oberbilk.
On the platform ceilings there are digital display devices for dynamic passenger information, which provide information about the line numbers of the arriving trains and waiting times. In addition, the number of wagons is also displayed so that passengers can distinguish between short trains and trains running in double traction before they even enter. The stopping position of the short trains is marked between the two tracks in the form of a black and white sign. These were only used in Düsseldorf underground stations for the second time after the route to Eller.
The two tracks that lead into the underground station from Düsseldorf main station have a switch system a few meters behind the end of the platform in the direction of travel in the Ellerstraße underground station . This butt-to-use switch enables trains to end in the Oberbilker Markt / Warschauer Straße underground station and, after the track change, to be able to return to regular service from there or to carry out operational trips.
traffic
The Oberbilker Markt / Warschauer Straße underground station is located on the first trunk line of the Düsseldorf light rail network. All three lines on this route serve the station. In addition to the options for changing between the tram lines, there are also one tram and two bus lines that stop at above-ground stops along Kruppstrasse / Werdener Strasse and connect to the Düsseldorf local transport network.
The neighboring city and the northern districts of Wittlaer , Kaiserswerth and Lohausen can be reached via the line from Duisburg . The lines branching off into the left bank of the Rhine connect the local districts of Oberkassel and Lörick as well as the neighboring town of Meerbusch . In the direction of the old town there is a connection to the central transfer point Heinrich-Heine-Allee. There are transfer options to several tram and bus lines and probably from 2014 to the third main route, the so-called Wehrhahn Line . In front of it is the Düsseldorf Hbf interchange station , which links the Stadtbahn with the Rhein-Ruhr S-Bahn and other regional and long-distance connections. In the further course of the first trunk line, the districts of Wersten , Holthausen and Benrath to the south , as well as the Heinrich Heine University and the Botanical Garden are connected.
With one exception, all light rail lines are served by the Düsseldorf Rheinbahn . This forms the U79 line, which is operated jointly with the Duisburger Verkehrsgesellschaft . High-floor light rail vehicles type B80C of the Duisburger Verkehrsgesellschaft operate on the U79 line . In addition, as on all other lines, type B80D cars, also high-floor, are used.
