Kettwig station

Kettwig is a railway station in the city of Essen in western Germany.

History

Kettwig station, 1905

The Kettwig depot was closed in 1953 by the Deutsche Bundesbahn.

Services at the station were substantially cut by November 1, 1977 when the station lost its autonomy due to the merger of Kettwig with the city of Essen. The ticket hall and station hall were closed, and the station was downgraded to a dependent outpost of Essen Hauptbahnhof.

The former ticket hall building was sold to the city of Essen in 2001 and is now used as a cultural centre and restaurant.

Operational usage

The station today sees regular service by Rhein-Ruhr S-Bahn trains on the S6 line.
