Stolberg Central Station

Stolberg Central Station is a transport hub with a solid brick building from the late 19th century. The building has multiple platforms, ticket halls, and passageways that guide passengers through the facility.

The station opened in 1888 and connected the city to three different railway lines toward Monchengladbach, Walheim, and Herzogenrath. This made Stolberg an important transport junction in the region.

The station building reflects the industrial era and shows how railways shaped the development of this region. The architecture tells the story of a time when factories and mining defined life in the area.

The station is centrally located in Stolberg and easily reachable on foot. Visitors find ticket windows, waiting areas, and train connections to many destinations.

The building is a rare example of the Keilbahnhof layout, where multiple tracks fan out from a central point in a star-like arrangement. This efficient design allowed many train connections to operate in a compact space.
