Guided Story
Picture standing here back in 1849. This station was a gateway for people of Witten and the surrounding areas. Look around you; the grand architecture still whispers tales from the industrial era. Behind you lies the heart of the Ruhr region, brought to life by the railways. To the east, you can imagine powerful steam locomotives once puffing through this landscape. The Bergisch-Märkische Railway Company, which opened this station, played a vital role in the region's development.
