Sight 6: ehemaliger Hannoverscher Bahnhof

Show sight on map

The Hannoversche Bahnhof is the former main station of the city of Osnabrück. The station on today's Wittekindstraße went into operation with the Hanoverian Western Railway in the direction of Löhne on 22 November 1855. Until the closure of passenger services in 1895, the Hanover station was the most important station in the city of Osnabrück. Due to the intersection with the Wanne-Eickel–Hamburg railway line a few hundred metres east of Hanover station, the new Osnabrück main station was built there. Freight traffic was operated until the completion of the central freight transshipment station in the Fledder district in 1913. The station building served as an administration building for Deutsche Bahn until 2004, but has since been sold.
