Neanderthal, Train station and architectural monument in Mettmann, Germany
The Neanderthal station features structural elements from 1879, maintaining its original design elements while functioning as part of the Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn network.
Constructed in 1879, this railway station played a central role in connecting Mettmann to the expanding transportation infrastructure of North Rhine-Westphalia during industrialization.
The station building represents the architectural standards of 19th-century German railway construction, with characteristics typical of that period's transportation facilities.
Passengers can access regular train services on the Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn line, connecting to major cities in the region throughout operating hours.
Located near the discovery site of Neanderthal remains, this station serves both as a transport hub and a reminder of the area's prehistoric significance.
