Bochum-Langendreer West station
Bochum-Langendreer West station is a stop on the Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn in the district of Langendreer in eastern Bochum in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. History. The first station in Langendreer was opened on 26 October 1860 by the Bergisch-Märkische Railway Company ("Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft", BME) on its line from Witten Hauptbahnhof as Langendreer station. In 1862, this line was completed to Dortmund and Duisburg and now forms the Witten/Dortmund–Oberhausen/Duisburg railway, one of the most important lines in Germany. The BME station was quite far from the  former village of Langendreer, approximately at the location of the current Bochum-Langendreer West station. The station primarily served freight transport, connecting in particular to the nearby Mansfeld, Vollmond and Neu-Iserlohn mines, while passenger traffic was only of secondary importance. Between 1897 and 1905, the station was renamed "Langendreer-Süd" (south), but in 1908 it was closed when Langendreer station was consolidated on the site of the Rhenish Railway Company's station, which had opened in 1874. On 24 September 1983, Bochum-Langendreer West station, was opened as part of the extension of Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn line S  1 from Bochum Hauptbahnhof to Dortmund Hauptbahnhof. Services.
