History
1870, the Münster- Enschede Railway Company ( MEE ) had obtained the concession to build a railway line from Münster to Enschede and started the construction. When they became insolvent in 1874, the Royal Westphalian Railway Company ( KWE) took over the continued construction of the route to Enschede. Carried out together with the track on September 30, 1875, the opening of a through station under the name Station Burg Steinfurt.
The railway line pan - Eickelmann Hamburg - Cologne -Minden Railway Company was of high national importance, the Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft ( RhE ) planned their railway Duisburg- Quakenbruck as competition. With the completion of this route on 1 July 1879 Burgsteinfurter station became a junction station. The route crossed the Rhine while the range of KWE south of Burg Steinfurt.
Finally, the railway line from Borken Westphalian Provincial Railroad (WLE ) reached on October 1, 1902 Burg Steinfurt.
As a result of the Second World War, the operation occurred on several sections to a halt. The Rheine railway station was completely destroyed by an air raid on October 5, 1944 in Oberhausen, Germany Dorsten and bridges were blown up. The cross-border traffic to Enschede was set from 1940 to 1951, as subsequently 1981-2001.
On the route to Borken, Westphalia, passenger services were after only 60 years on September 30, 1962 initially severely restricted ( only express trains ), then set completely on 27 September 1975. The transport of goods between Steinfurt and Ahaus was already set on 31 December 1972; after the final closure of the route on 31 March 1988, starting with the immediate dismantling.
After the passengers on the railway line Duisburg- Quakenbruck in the northern section had come from Rheine and the southern section to Dorsten to a halt already in the 1960s, the operation also the section between Coesfeld and Rheine was terminated on 28 September 1984. On 1 July 1985, the conversion of this section was carried out in a railway branch line.
Mid-1980s and the transport of goods between Horstmar and St. Arnold has been set. Go to the official closure of the line between Lutum and St. Arnold it happened on 1 January 1996, so that was out of the former junction station again a through station. In the same year the freight office of the station on May 1, was closed.
Due to the local government reform in North Rhine- Westphalia, the formerly independent towns Burg Steinfurt and Borghorst have been merged on January 1, 1975 on the City of Steinfurt. But not until the timetable change on 12 December 2004 it was renamed the station in Steinfurt- Burgsteinfurt.
