Bochum Hauptbahnhof is a railway station for the city of Bochum in western Germany. In its current incarnation, it was built from 1955 to 1957 and is one of the most notable 1950s railway stations in Germany. The station underwent extensive remodeling and modernisation from 2004 to 2006 and was officially reopened on 29 May 2006. ==History== The old station was opened in 1860 as the Bochum station of the Bergisch-Märkische Railway Company as part of its Witten/Dortmund–Oberhausen/Duisburg railway opened between 1860 and 1862, which was the first line built through the city of Bochum. It was located on the south-western edge of the historic centre, in the northern part of the emerging city of Bochum-Ehrenfeld, and was well-located near the important heavy industries such as the steel mills of Bochumer Verein and various collieries. Access to the station for passengers was not ideal and the space was inadequate for the increasing volume of traffic and was constrained by the construction of the rail triangle between the main line and the branch line to Herne-Rottbruch that opened in 1870 as well as the nearby Königsallee arterial road. After the nationalisation of the large railway companies by the Prussian state, the Bergisch-Märkisch station's name was changed to ''Bochum Süd'' to differentiate it from the Rhenish Railway Company’s station to the east of the inner city, which was renamed ''Bochum station''. The latter was subsequently renamed ''Bochum Nord'' and became a freight yard only in the early 21st century. ''Bochum Süd'' was eventually renamed as ''Bochum Hauptbahnhof''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bochum Hauptbahnhof」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
