Wabern (Bz Kassel) is a railway station in the municipality of Wabern, in the German state of Hesse. It is on the Main to Weser railway from Frankfurt to Kassel. The station is a stop for ICE trains with connections towards Hamburg and Karlsruhe. It was once an important railway junction, as the Wabern to Brilon Wald railway branched off here with a connection to the Ruhr area. Today this branch line ends in Bad Wildungen. [1] [2] [3]

The station opened in December 1849, at the same time as the railway line from Kassel. The extension to Treysa opened a few days later. The station has a main building designed by Julius Eugen Ruhl  [ de ]. [4] [5]

In 2018 the station was modernized to be barrier-free, involving the construction of a new underpass, three elevators and raised platforms. The work cost 15 million. [2]
