Wabern (Bz Kassel) Railway Station
Wabern (Bz Kassel) is a railway station in the municipality of Wabern, in the German state of Hesse. It is on the Main to Weser railway from Frankfurt to Kassel. The station is a stop for ICE trains with connections towards Hamburg and Karlsruhe. It was once an important railway junction, as the Wabern to Brilon Wald railway branched off here with a connection to the Ruhr area. Today this branch line ends in Bad Wildungen.
The station opened in December 1849, at the same time as the railway line from Kassel. The extension to Treysa opened a few days later. The station has a main building designed by Julius Eugen Ruhl.
In 2018 the station was modernized to be barrier-free, involving the construction of a new underpass, three elevators and raised platforms. The work cost €15 million.
