Detmold station is located northwest of the town centre. It is situated on the Herford–Himmighausen railway, which runs generally from the northwest to the southeast. The station building, which was internally modernised and externally restored in 2007, houses several dining establishments, lockers for luggage and a Deutsche Bahn travel centre. There is a lift to the platform for the disabled. Furthermore, a digital clock with train times has been installed on the platform.

History

The station was served until the 1970s and 1980s by long-distance trains on the Osnabrück/Bielefeld–Altenbeken–Warburg–Kassel. The station forecourt was the transfer point to the former Detmold tramway until 1954.

The city of Detmold bought the entrance building of Detmold station in the summer of 2006 after years of effort and negotiations. In October 2006, the renovation of the building began with funding from the urban development subsidies of the government of North Rhine-Westphalia. The main reasons for the renovation were significant deficiencies in its equipment as well as a lack of access for the disabled. The station was often perceived by citizens and travellers as being "uncomfortable". The station building remained closed during a 14-month period of reconstruction. The inauguration of the renovated building took place in December 2007.

The station’s prince's room (Fürstenzimmer, built for royalty during the German Empire) was listed as the monument of the month in Westphalia-Lippe in February 2008.

Rail services

The station is served each hour by the RB 72 (Ostwestfalen-Bahn) and by the RE 82 (Der Leineweber). [5] The RE 82 runs only every two hours on Sundays. The RB 72 is operated by WestfalenBahn with three-part Stadler FLIRT electric multiple units [6] and the RE 82 is operated by Eurobahn with Bombardier Talent diesel multiple units. [7]
