It is used by about 3,300 passengers daily. The station consists of the main building, located on the ''Dunckerplatz'' ("Duncker place"), later partly renamed as the ''Bahnhofsvorplatz'' (“station forecourt”), a disused water tower and the former entrance building for the German Emperor, which now serves as a tourist information office and a bike rental agency. The station also has a platform subway connnecting to platform tracks 3 and 4, which are used by the Brandenburg Towns Railway (''Brandenburgische Städtebahn''), a parking area with 133 spaces and parking for 80 bicycles, 20 of which are covered. Rathenow station also included a terminus of the former 750 mm gauge Rathenow-Senzke-Nauen District Railway (''Kreisbahn Rathenow-Senzke-Nauen''). Outside the station there are still remnants of the tracks of the District Railway, which are heritage-listed. The also listed remains of the Brandenburg Towns Railway, including the reception building, are on the south side of the station. ==History== Rathenow station was built as part of the construction of the Berlin-Lehrte railway in 1870. The station building was built of Rathenow brick. The Rathenow Senzke-Nauen District Railway was opened in 1900. With the opening of the Brandenburg Towns Railway in 1904, Rathenow became a small railway junction. All three railway companies operated separate parts of the station: the narrow gauge railway to Nauen ran from the station forecourt and the Brandenburg Towns Railway had its own station building south of the platforms of the Lehrte railway. The most important line was the Lehrte railway, which carried a large part of the traffic from Berlin to the west. The first major redesign of the station forecourt began in 1936. After the Second World War, operations ended on the narrow-gauge railway from Rathenow to Senzke and the section of the track near the station was dismantled. One track of the Lehrte railway was dismantled for reparations. With the division of Germany, the importance of traffic on the line from Berlin to the West Germany via Magdeburg fell. Even before Die Wende, both German states planned to build a high-speed line between Hanover and Berlin. After German reunification, the project was promoted as a "German Unity Transport Project" (''Verkehrsprojekt Deutsche Einheit''). As a result, the station was completely rebuilt in the mid-1990s. During the upgrade from 1995 until 1998, the line from Rathenow towards Berlin was completely blockaded and the trains from Stendal were terminated at this time in Rathenow station. A new separate two-track electrified high-speed railway was built. In Rathenow station this meant building the new tracks between the platforms and the station building. The station building gained a glazed extension next to the tracks. The old track was retained on most sections and has since been used for freight and regional services. In the eastern and the western parts of Rathenow station, connecting tracks have been established between the high speed line and the platforms. The traffic on the section of the Brandenburg Towns Railway between Rathenow Nord (north) and Neustadt (Dosse) was closed on 31 December 2001, but operations continued between Rathenow and Rathenow Nord until 2003. From 2003 to 2005, the Brandenburg Towns Railway between Rathenow and Brandenburg was completely blockaded and rehabilitated. In 2005 and 2006, parts of the station forecourt were renewed and transformed for the State Garden Show (''Landesgartenschau''). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rathenow railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
