Witten Central Station

Witten Central Station is a through station with four platform tracks in North Rhine-Westphalia. It connects the city with nearby urban centers including Dortmund and Hagen via regional train services.

The station was founded in 1849 by the Bergisch-Märkische Railway Company as a key point in regional transportation development. It played an important role in building infrastructure during the area's industrial growth.

The station belongs to the Industrial Heritage Route and represents railway architecture from the Ruhr region's industrial boom. Visitors can observe the building style and design choices of that manufacturing era.

The station is located at Bergerstraße 35 and provides park-and-ride spaces along with bicycle storage facilities. Local bus connections through BOGESTRA make it easy to transfer to other transport options.

The station was part of one of Germany's earliest railway networks and still displays the original mid-19th-century architecture. Its structure reflects railway construction methods from that pioneering era before later upgrades.
