Rangierbahnhof Wedau, Classification yard and architectural heritage monument in Duisburg, Germany
The railway facility extends across a vast area with two sorting hills and multiple tracks for organizing freight train compositions.
Built in 1890 on marshy ground, the yard became one of Germany's largest classification facilities by 1913 with 24 tracks spanning four kilometers.
The preserved signal box and brick water tower from 1912 represent North Rhine-Westphalia's industrial railway infrastructure development.
The classification yard maintains active operations for freight transport organization while following heritage preservation requirements for protected structures.
Located between repair shops and worker residences, this yard forms part of the Route der Industriekultur showcasing regional railway heritage.
