Bahnhof Eschwege West

Bahnhof Eschwege West is a railway station in Eschwege with two platform tracks serving regional connections. The facility is managed by Landesnahverkehrsgesellschaft Niedersachsen and integrates multiple regional rail routes into its network.

The station opened on October 30, 1875 and was initially called Niederhone before being renamed in 1936 to reflect its location. This change marked a shift in how the railway junction was understood within the regional network.

The station takes its name from its location west of Eschwege and retains architectural features from its founding era. The preserved water infrastructure and nearby worker settlement reflect the site's importance to railway operations.

The station receives daily regional trains on the RB 87 Niederhone-Eschwege West line and offers connections to surrounding cities. Visitors should allow extra time when making connections and the station is accessible near the city center.

A former locomotive maintenance building from the station's early years still stands at its southern end. This structure reveals how important steam locomotive repair was to the site's development.
