context_page_description: Büchen station is a railway junction in Büchen in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. About 4,000 passengers embark or disembark each day.
  In front of the station building there is a bus stop with connections to the surrounding villages. Büchen station is served by trains on the Berlin–Hamburg and Lübeck–Lüneburg lines.
  During the division of Germany, Büchen was a border station on the line between Berlin and Hamburg in the Federal Republic of Germany.
context_section_description: The original station building was destroyed in 1945. In the 1950s, a large entrance building was built with border crossing facilities. This was demolished in 2011. A new station building was built.
  There was a water tower between the island platform and the sidings, which was a two-story building and had two water tanks to supply steam locomotives and also served as a drinking water reservoir for the station building. It was built in 1912 and demolished in 2013.
  Since the renovation, the station has had an entrance building built of containers with a Deutsche Bahn travel centre and a branch of a local baking chain.
