Guided Story
Can you see those grand tracks ahead? Right behind you is where the story of Duisburg-Wedau station began in 1874. Imagine the steam engines chugging through with their iconic whistles. Over there, at the far end, was once the repair workshop, a vital place for maintaining the trains that powered the Ruhr area's industry. Look to your left, where the tracks still lie; that was the bustling marshalling yard, a key hub for goods transport. As you take in the sight of the old brick buildings, you might feel the history in the air. It's a slice of living history you can almost touch.
