Kreiensen station

Kreiensen station is a railway station in Einbeck with six platform tracks and a classical entrance building constructed between 1886 and 1889. The facility connects multiple railway lines and is controlled by electronic interlocking systems managed from Hanover.

The station opened in 1854 as the first facility in the Duchy of Brunswick and expanded significantly after multiple railway lines arrived. The growth of the complex reflects its increasing importance for regional rail transport.

The entrance building displays classical details with yellow and red bricks, sandstone bases, and cornices that give the place a dignified appearance. These features from around 1890 shape how the area looks today.

The station is served by Deutsche Bahn, NordWestBahn, and Metronom Eisenbahngesellschaft with connections to multiple destinations in the region. Visitors should pay attention to announcements when arriving, as trains depart from different tracks.

In 1956, the station received the world's first electronic track-plan signal system that consolidated three mechanical signal boxes into one. This innovation was a significant breakthrough in railway technology at the time.
