Krefeld-Uerdingen station is a regional station in the district of Uerdingen, which has been part of the city of Krefeld in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia since 1929. It is located in the north-east of Krefeld, near the border with the Duisburg district of Rheinhausen.

History

The station was opened on 29 September 1849 with the name of Uerdingen. From 5 October 1849, the railway ran from Uerdingen to Homberg. From 1852 until 1885, it also ran to the former Rheinhausen–Hochfeld train ferry, but this section was closed in 1961. From 1 September 1866, Uerdingen was a stop on the Osterath–Dortmund Süd railway from Meerbusch-Osterath to Essen and since 1874 to Dortmund, originally running over the Rheinhausen–Hochfeld train ferry and from 1873 over the Duisburg-Hochfeld Railway Bridge.

The current entrance building, which is no longer in use, was built in 1899 by the Königliche Eisenbahn-Direction Köln (Royal Railway Division of Cologne). It replaced the first building built in 1849. The Krefeld–Uerdingen section went into operations on 29 May 1849. The heritage-listed platform canopy was supported by 32 columns, decorated with stylised floral motifs, built originally on four-edged pedestals, later replaced by eight-edged pedestals, and was produced by the Johannes Wöller iron foundry of Uerdingen.

The station was renamed Uerdingen (Rh) in 1927. After the merger of the two cities of Crefeld and Uerdingen am Rhein in 1929, the station was renamed in accordance with the joint agreement of the two cities as Krefeld-Uerdingen-Rheinbahnhof.^[5] In 1939, it was given its current name of Krefeld-Uerdingen. Barrier-free infrastructure began to be installed at the station at the end of the 1990s. The platform was raised to a height of 70 centimetres in 2009/2010. The historic platform canopy had to be dismantled during this work.

The station building, which is also a listed monument, has been empty for a long time. Plans since 2011 for an investment group to convert it into a brewery had not yet implemented as of the autumn of 2015.
