Wrist Station
The station was built by the Altona-Kiel Railway Company (Altona-Kieler Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft, AKE) in 1844. It was opened with the railway line on 18 September 1844. The station was connected to the now disused Itzehoe-Wrist railway in 1889. The entrance hall of the station was rebuilt between 1880 and 1895. The railway settlement of Wrist then developed around the station over the years. The railway had a major economic impact on the community, which among other things, led Wrist to merge with the older neighbouring community of Stellau under the same name of Wrist.
Three tracks run through the station next to two platforms. One platform is located next to the entrance building and the other two next to an island platform between the tracks.
The station building is for sale because it is no longer needed for operations.
