Moers station is located on the Lower Rhine Railway, which was built in 1904 by the Prussian state railways. It lies on the eastern edge of central Moers in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia on the road to Duisburg-Homberg. The station is now a stop for Regional-Express service RE 44 and Regionalbahn service RB 31. It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 5 station.^[1]

History

The first station of Moers was east of the present station on the line from the Ruhrort–Homberg train ferry to Moers, which opened in 1883.^[6] The station was moved to its present location between 1904 and 1908.^[4] The line to Homberg was closed in 1908^[6] and replaced by a tram line.

In 1882, the station of the Krefeld Railway Company (Krefelder Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft) was built on the other side of the station forecourt. From there, trains ran via Niep and Hüls to Krefeld. A transfer track was built north of the station to the state railway in 1886. Passenger services were closed temporarily from 1932 to 1939 and permanently from 3 October 1949. Freight operations to Moers were closed on 15 February 1974 and the track was dismantled afterwards.

West of this station on the station forecourt, the terminal station of the Moerser Kreisbahn (Moers District Railway) operated from 1909 on the lines to Hörstgen-Sevelen and to Rheinberg via Orsoy. Regularly scheduled passenger service were abandoned on 28 September 1968. Again, there was a transfer track to the state railway north of the station, which is also still used today.

Construction work to modernise the station began in June 2014. The passenger tunnel, which previously connected the platforms only to the entrance building, was extended to give access on the other side, lifts were installed, the platforms were raised and new platform canopies were installed. The extension of the shell of the passenger tunnel to the platforms was completed in May 2015. Work on the passenger tunnel had been completed in December 2018, except for the installation of the lifts to the platforms.^[7]^[8]
