Essen Süd station

The station consists of two main buildings positioned on opposite sides of the tracks within a deep cutting, featuring neoclassical columns and gabled roofs.

The station opened in 1914 as a connection point for the Ruhr Valley Railway to Essen Hauptbahnhof, following suburban station designs from Berlin.

The station buildings, protected as a cultural heritage monument since 1988, demonstrate the architectural standards of early 20th century German railway construction.

The Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn line S6 serves the station every 20 minutes, while tram line 105 stops directly above on the spanning street.

The original 1914 station building now functions as a restaurant with a beer garden, maintaining its historical structure while serving modern purposes.
