Guided Story
Can you hear the steady clatter of wheels on tracks? That's the heartbeat of the Hagen-Vorhalle classification yard, a vital hub for freight for over 170 years. Turn around, and you'll see the endless rails stretching like veins through the land. Did you know that back in the 1950s, over 5,000 railcars were processed here daily? Look north to see the Kaisberg rising, once a strategic lookout, now a peaceful retreat. As trains continue their journey around you, remember, this place has always been a gateway to the world.
