Wuppertal-Vohwinkel station


Vohwinkel station is the most western station in the city of Wuppertal, located in the district of Vohwinkel. It is a triangular station, built at a railway junction.

History

The original station was built slightly further west than the present station in 1841 by the Düsseldorf-Elberfeld Railway Company. The Prince William Railway was extended to Vohwinkel in 1848, creating a railway junction. The present building was built at the beginning of the 20th century by the Prussian state railways to the design of Alexander Rüdell.
In the early 20th Century a three km-long marshalling yard was built to the west of the station, but it has since been closed and demolished.
In addition to the Düsseldorf-Elberfeld through line and the branch to the former Prince William line, in the past there was a railway line connecting to the now closed Wuppertal Northern Railway and the now closed Corkscrew line from Solingen terminated there.

No long-distance services stop at the station, but it is served by the Wupper-Express, the Maas-Wupper-Express, the Wupper-Lippe-Express and the Regional-Express services and the Rhein-Wupper-Bahn Regionalbahn service and lines S8, S9, S28 and S68 of the Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn.
