Hann Münden station

The construction of the railway for the Dransfeld ramp as part of the Hanoverian Southern Railway (Hannöversche Südbahn) began in the town of Münden in 1851. At times up to 500 men were employed on the work. They carried out the necessary earth moving, including the building of embankments, using pushcarts and earth carrying vehicles. After the Werra Viaduct in Münden was completed in 1856, passenger traffic began to run between Hanover and Münden. The station building in Münden was built in 1857 as a simple brick building typical of the time, the planning of which was influenced by the architect Conrad Wilhelm Hase. The building was built outside the town because it was not possible to route the line through the much lower town. The connection of the station to the town by a new road initiated a lot of building activity in the open area between the town and the station, which created the station district (Bahnhofsviertel). Public institutions in particular were based there and villas were built for factory owners. Numerous industrial works, which had become too cramped in the densely built-up town centre, were re-established at the station.

In 2005, the station building was completely renovated after its privatisation for €780,000.^[3]

The station was served by the NVV lines RE2, RE9 and RB83 in 2023:
