History

On November 11, 1852, the portion of Herzogenrath to Reydt and a year later opened the complete line Aachen- Dusseldorf from the Aachen- Dusseldorf - Ruhrorter Railway Company solemnly. At this time Palenberg did not have its own railway station. An exact year in which the first station has yet to be determined. In the statistics of the year 1861, he is not mentioned, but in 1881 in the Official Journal ( special trains at the Aachen Pilgrimage ) is Palenberg called breakpoint. During this time, a train station, including station building on the western edge must have originated from Palenberg. Palenberg was then only a small hamlet and belonged with Bersitten at the time still independent community Frelenberg. 1912 where he received the pit Carolus Magnus a siding and on the site of today, created in the 1990s, park-and -ride car park, a new station building was constructed of wood. After 1935 Palenberg and the station became part of the new municipality of Ubach- Palenberg, a year later was again built on the eastern side, a new reception building for the now in Ubach- Palenberg renamed the station.
