The German Bahn AG, the Department of Transportation of the State of North Rhine -Westphalia and the transport association Rhein- Ruhr, in its tariff area is the station wanted to change the name of the station to the prevailing since 1975, political circumstances and him - according to the usual at DBAG conventions - Rename in Mönchengladbach Rheydt.This. This led to protests from politicians and the public, where you with the name Central Station combines a more elevated status and fears that given in accordance with an alleged demotion by renaming urgently needed investment for the renovation of the reception building and the access facilities and future degraded tracks and connections would be abolished. Also, the special status of Reydt by its own railway station and the city of Moenchengladbach is the only city with two main railway stations to be retained according to the will of some citizens. Then pledged to North-Rhine Westphalia former Transport Minister Oliver Wittke that the station would continue to bear the main railway station in the name. The City Council has the opportunity to respond to the proposals of the VRR to 28 February 2008. Currently, the name Mönchengladbach- Rheydt Central in the discussion.
