The former station Dortmund -Barop is located on Baroper marketplace in the district Hombruch. Since mid-2006 is operational only at a breakpoint. The operating points symbol is EDBA ( former Bundesbahndirektion food, Bahnhof Dortmund- Barop ).

History

The station Barop was established as part of the original route of the Bergisch- Märkischen Railway in December 1848. For many years, the history is closely linked with the industrial history of the area Barop / Hombruch. So the station was built primarily for the removal of subsidized in Barop coals and therefore was in the immediate vicinity of the mine near the Louise Hörder Chaussee (today Straße Stockum ), also the neighboring colliery widow & Cash Option and the shaft of the mine Giesbert Gluckauf were close at the station and received sidings. The approximately 2 km away mine Henriette probably already received at the opening of the station a connection by means of a horse - siding.

On March 9, 1849 and the passenger was taken to the track. However, the freight remained the defining element: not only the local collieries served the station, just used it more based in the neighborhood business of receiving and shipping their goods, here are mainly Baroper Maschinenfabrik (from 1856) and the Baroper mill from 1862 to call. In 1861 the station was moved to its present location near the Harkortstraße. The Shaft " Clausthal " Zeche Ver. Louise civil engineering in 1865 connected by a cable car to the train station. Another railway connected from about 1870 the station to the shaft of the mine Gotthelf Gluckauf civil engineering. Finally came from 1895 still footing the bill Kaiser Friedrich Menglinghausen which will received a connecting railway to the Baroper station.

From the 1880s, the gradual decline of the mines began in space Barop. While in 1880 the colliery siding Holthausen was extended in Eichlinghofen, presented the mines Ver. Widow & Barop and Henriette to 1888 the operation a. The large pit closures continued the coal handling in Barop in 1925 with the closure of the remaining mines to an end, only the coking of coal mine Frederick stayed up operation in 1930. The Baroper Maschinenfabrik was settled after the First World War. On the fallow land settled in the next few years other industries, but the vast majority of the volume of goods was now the 1928 adopted by the Hoesch AG pipe mill. At the crossing of the tracks next to the railway crossing Harkortstraße was a steel pedestrian bridge.

Long after the incorporation Barop to Dortmund this fact was also worn with the renaming of the railway station " Dortmund -Barop " in May 1950 statement. Also after the Second World War a switch plant of the company Mieves was on the site of the former colliery widow, in the meantime there was a brickyard on the opens. On July 29, 1967, the three previous mechanical interlockings " Ba " were (formerly "Bat" ) ( on Stockumer road) and "St" taken, " Nt " ( at the southern end of the station) out of service and the track plan interlocking " Baf " at the railroad crossing of Harkortstraße replaced, the building served previously as barriers items.

In the 1980s, the renewed decline of freight transport began in Barop: After the goods shed was no longer used for general cargo traffic, this was a few years the "fruit market " as a selling site. The tube station was closed soon thereafter, as the stock of the company Uhde. Also the reception building of 1861 and the footbridge were demolished.

Since May 29, 1994 Barop is a station of the line S 5 S-Bahn Rhein- Ruhr, which operate between Dortmund and Hagen recorded on that day. By 2002, nor the course work in Barop was operated in freight traffic, since the station serves only the S -Bahn. Because of this drop in traffic until May 2006, the remaining points were taken out of service and the input and exit signals replaced by block signals thus converted the station to the breakpoint. The vacated by dismantling the sidings land for sale.

Vehicular importance

The breakpoint is close to Hombrucher downtown and at the edge of a larger settlement area on Baroper area. Connected to the rail transport network he is by circulating here S -Bahn line S 5 from Dortmund to Copenhagen (some more than S 8 to Mönchengladbach ). Near the railway station also keeps the bus 446 However, the two neighboring city transport hub Barop parking garage and Hombruch Gablonzstraße are much better connected to the Dortmund city traffic, so the S -Bahn stop Barop inner city plays a relatively minor traffic- importance.

Future

For the reasons mentioned above, there were plans, a few hundred meters to relocate the bus stop towards the inner city, where a link with several city bus lines and subway line U42 at the stop Barop parking is possible. For cost reasons, the German Bahn AG has decided in 2007 against a transfer.

Also is being given to the H- Train, currently only in the university and after Eichlinghofen to extend to this station, so that a large transport hub would occur in the Dortmund southwest. The extension of the H-Bahn is not economically rejected in the Standardized assessment as insufficient and is therefore currently unlikely.

Another planning assumes that the breakpoint is completely shut down and replaced by two others: first, the S to 5 Dortmund -Barop parking garage will be better linked to the Dortmund Stadtbahn and buses with a new breakpoint, on the other hand is a new breakpoint Dortmund- Hombruch arise to improve the development function of the S5 in the suburb Hombruch. This should however be done as part of the upgrading of the S5, which was rejected by the Integrated Transport Planning of North Rhine- Westphalia. A resubmission is possible from 2015.
