Since the line originally served particularly freight traffic between the Belgian city of Antwerp and the Rhineland, a freight house was also established, which was partly used for the temporary storage of wood for the nearby coal mines of the Aachen district. With the growing importance of passenger services at the end of the 19th century patronage of Langerwehe station increased strongly. At the beginning of the 20th century, the station was therefore significantly expanded, with a two-story extension added to the station building. The freight house became disused and was later ...

The station remained largely undisturbed until suffering from damage in 1944, when ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
