Train stations in Paderborn, Railway terminal in Paderborn, Germany.

Paderborn Hauptbahnhof is the only central station on the double-track Hamm–Warburg line that runs across the city centre. The Senne-Bahn to Bielefeld adds four stops: Kasseler Tor, Paderborn Nord, Schloß Neuhaus and Sennelager. Kasseler Tor has a single platform beside the main line, two kilometres from the Hauptbahnhof; Paderborn Nord has 13 tracks but only three with platforms, and trains normally use platforms 1 and 2.

The station opened in 1850 and was later expanded with connections to other cities. These expansions show how Paderborn became an important railway hub in the 1800s.

The Kasseler Tor stop takes its name from the nearby Kasseler Straße and is served half-hourly by the NordWestBahn RB 74 Senne-Bahn towards Bielefeld. Its 1907 station building, designed by Alois Holtmeyer, was demolished in 1976, so today only a single platform remains beside the two-track Hamm–Warburg line. Buses of the PaderSprinter lines 61 and 68 also call at the stop.

The station is a short walk of about 10 minutes from the city center and easy to reach on foot. You will find seating, shops, and cafes to spend time between trains.

Some platforms have lifts for wheelchairs while others need staff help for accessibility. This shows how the station was upgraded in stages to accommodate different visitors over the years.
