History
On March 1, 1862, section of the railway line Witten / Dortmund -Oberhausen / Duisburg between Essen and Bochum Steele and Wattenscheid by the Bergisch- Märkische Railway Company was opened. The then Mayor of Steele, Theodor Märcker, made a contribution to the construction of the line through the purchase of shares dependent on Steele connection should get on this track. So finally the king Steele Station was opened on the same day at this range, the current Bahnhof Essen - Steele Ost. He had besides a goods shed and a reception building with Bahnhofsgaststätte.
