Wanne-Eickel Hauptbahnhof (also HER-Wanne-Eickel Hauptbahnhof ) is the most important train station in Herne and is located in Herne-Wanne , a part of the former town of Wanne-Eickel , today a district of Herne.
history
The station emerged from the Pluto-Thies freight yard, which was built in 1856 for the siding of the Pluto colliery to the Cologne-Minden Railway Company , which opened in 1847, on the field of the farmer Storp. In 1864 a stop for passenger traffic was added. In 1867 a new railway station facility for freight traffic was opened, which, because the surrounding towns could not agree on a name, was given the name Wanne by the railway administration based on a field name for the area . This name was taken over in 1875 when the places Eickel, Bickern, Crange, Holsterhausen and Röhlinghausen merged to form the Wanne office and has been retained right down to the Wanne-Eickel place name .
With the opening of the railway line to Münster on January 1, 1870, Wanne station became a railway junction. In 1890, passenger traffic began on the route to Wanne Unser Fritz, which had been in existence since 1884 . In 1913 the station building and depot were rebuilt and expanded.
After the formation of the independent city of Wanne-Eickel in 1926, the name of the station was also changed to Wanne-Eickel Hbf . It developed into the largest marshalling yard in the central Ruhr area and was the only station in the Ruhr area to combine all four modes of operation: In addition to its function as a marshalling yard, it was also the home station for over 300 locomotives and traction vehicles, and a station for freight and passenger traffic .
Since 1988, passenger trains no longer use the direct route to Wanne Unser Fritz, but instead use the freight route; the direct connection was shut down in 1989.
Three-men-corner
With the renovation of the station from 1907 to 1913 and the expansion of what was then Herner Strasse in 1927, a retaining wall was required along the embankment. This was decorated with three pillars on which were life-size sculptures. They symbolize the Wanne-Eickel economy with miners, barges and railroad workers. The art objects were created by the Wanne-Eickel sculptor and trade teacher Wilhelm Braun . The place was popularly known as the three-man corner. In 1970 the sculptures, damaged by exhaust fumes, air pollution and war damage, were dismantled. Today they are restored and are at the entrance of the Heimat- und Naturkunde-Museum ; There is a replica on the station forecourt. A rope pulley from the former Consolidation mine now stands at the former location of the sculptures .
today
Today it has an important traffic significance as the main train station as the intersection of the east-west connection Dortmund – Duisburg with the north-south connection Münster – Essen , which u. a. over the taxiway beginning in Wanne-Eickel . In addition, the station is on the Emschertal Railway (Dortmund – Wanne-Eickel – Dorsten) and the Glückauf Railway (Bochum – Wanne-Eickel – Gelsenkirchen). In the double- sided marshalling yard, only the shunting system for the west-east direction with drainage hill and track brakes is in operation, while in the shunting system for the opposite direction the track brakes are removed and the points are controlled by an EOW system . The small shunting system for express freight trains and the general cargo reloading hall were completely shut down.
After the merger of Wanne-Eickel and Herne in 1975, the name Wanne-Eickel Hauptbahnhof , which remained the largest train station in the city of Herne, was retained unchanged. In 2003, Deutsche Bahn planned to rename it to Herne-Wanne or Herne Hauptbahnhof . However, these considerations met with great resistance in Wanne-Eickel, so that the local politicians in Herne also dealt with them. The station mission on track 3/4 was closed at the end of the 1980s.
From an operational point of view, the Wanne-Eickel Hbf station is now divided into the passenger and freight stations.
Passenger station
The main focus of the passenger station is on the double- track Duisburg – Dortmund ( and Essen –Dortmund) line. S-Bahn (S 2) and Regional Express (RE 3) are used on this route . The Wanne-Eickel-Hamburg taxiway is served from Düsseldorf-Essen (RE 2) and Mönchengladbach-Krefeld-Essen (RE 42) with regional express and Intercity , with IC trains mostly running via Oberhausen. Furthermore, since December 2018, the main station has been served daily by a pair of trains on the ICE line 47 (Münster – Stuttgart). Regional trains run every hour on the Emschertal Railway between Dortmund and Dorsten and every half hour on the Glückauf Railway between Bochum and Gelsenkirchen. Eight tracks on four platforms are available for passenger trains, with the first platform (track 1/2) only being used for a RB 43 train from Dortmund that ends late in the evening in Wanne-Eickel Hbf. With the exception of the aforementioned platform, all other elevators built in 2014 are barrier-free .
Freight depot
The freight station, which is important for the location, is connected to the Wanne-Eickel-Hamburg, Bochum-Gelsenkirchen, Duisburg-Ruhrort-Dortmund and Duisburg-Dortmund routes, partly via connecting lines. Freight trains that are not dealt with in the train formation system can pass through the freight station north and south without touching the train formation system.
The double-sided freight yard has 7 entry tracks in the west-east direction and 11 entry tracks in the east-west direction. Two mountain tracks serve over 35 directional tracks with a usable length of up to 800 m. A semi-automatic speed control with two valley track brakes is installed in 20 tracks in the west-east direction on the drainage hill , the associated points are controlled manually. There are no longer any track brakes on the drainage hill in the east-west direction, the points are controlled there by an EOW system. In both maneuvering systems, compressed air is kept ready for train formation. Trains that enter the marshalling yard against the working direction of the drainage mountains are fed to the two shunting systems through southern or northern bypasses without interrupting the drainage operations. Despite the slump in rail freight traffic during the economic crisis, the Wanne-Eickel marshalling yard is now almost 95% full due to its central location.
Other plants
In the southern part of the freight yard there is a connection to Eiffage Rail on the site of the former Heitkamp BauHolding , which has its own track system there. The facilities from RBH Logistics and the Wanne-Herner Eisenbahn are also connected to the freight station . The Wanner Osthafen , the freight traffic center in the Wanner Westhafen , the Shamrock power plant , Evonik Industries (Herne site) and a coal mixing plant operated by DSK are approached via this. The general cargo reloading hall on Ostberg has been closed, as has the parking facility for ETA trains north of track 1 of the passenger station. A tank system is located in the center of the freight yard , where the shunting locomotives of the station, locomotives for the incoming and outgoing trains and passenger trains of the Abellio Rail NRW and NordWestBahn are refueled. Due to the central location of the station, emergency technology vehicles such as slewing cranes are stationed at the passenger station. These are used regionally and nationally in the event of a railway accident and are called up by the emergency control centers .
