Bahnhof Dortmund-Hörde
Bahnhof Dortmund-Hörde stands in the Hörde district of Dortmund, in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Deutsche Bahn classifies it as a category four station on the Dortmund-Soest line. From here you step straight into Dortmund, a city where industrial history and modern life sit side by side.
It started out as a freight yard, moving goods between the coal mines and steelworks that anchored the region's economy. The Second World War destroyed the original building, and a new one rose in 1955. A later reconstruction between 2010 and 2013 modernised its facilities. It handles passenger traffic with parking, live departure and arrival information and access for travellers with limited mobility. Digital services report train positions and lift status through the Bahnhof.de app. Routes reach nearby Bochum and Hagen, and even run as far as Amsterdam.
The district around it has changed just as much. Where the Phoenix steelworks once stood, you find the Phoenix See instead, a recreational lake edged with new housing. A station built for freight now serves a neighbourhood built around a lake.
