The current station building was built in 1913 and it has been heritage-listed since 1991.〔 〕 It replaced an older station building that was built between 1860 and 1870. It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 5 station.〔 ==History == The Düsseldorf–Elberfeld line was openedi n 1841 by the Düsseldorf-Elberfeld Railway Company and was one of the first railways in western Germany. In order to avoid a steep climb, the line ended before Döppers Berg (hill), about one kilometre from the centre of the town of Elberfeld (now central Wuppertal). Originally a little station building was built at the railhead. A few years later, the Elberfeld–Dortmund railway of the Bergisch-Märkische Railway Company was built from Dortmund, which originally ended on the other side of the Döppers Berg. On 28 December 1848, a line was opened connecting the two lines together, making a continuous connection in the valley of the Wupper and changing Steinbeck into a through station. In 1849, Elberfeld station was opened and it became the most important passenger station in Elberfeld. Between 1860 and 1870 a station building was built. At the same time an extensive area was developed for rail freight, including a marshalling yard, loading tracks and a locomotive depot with a turntable and a roundhouse because Elberfeld station had no room for such facilities. Over the next few years Steinbeck station lost ground against the more centrally located Elberfeld station, which was only a kilometre away, and many of the inter-regional train services no longer stopped there. The construction of the Burgholz Railway in 1891 converted Steinbeck station into a junction station. A water tower was built on the other side a bridge over the tracks next to the station, which is now called ''Südbrücke'' ("south bridge"). The water tower has recently been converted into a restaurant. 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「Wuppertal-Steinbeck station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
