Essen Central Station

Essen Hauptbahnhof is the city’s main railway station and one of the 21 stations in the highest price category of DB Station&Service. It is a scheduled stop for long-distance services and an important hub for regional and S-Bahn services. It is also Essen’s central interchange for local public transport. With around 152,000[1] passengers and visitors each day, it is one of Deutsche Bahn’s busiest long-distance stations. The main station also serves as a link between Essen’s city centre—with access to the Kettwiger Straße pedestrian zone—and the service centres in the Südviertel.
