History

Annen station was opened on 9 March 1849 by the Bergisch-Märkische Railway Company (German: Bergisch Märkischen Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft, BME) on its original Elberfeld–Dortmund line and was served by passenger and freight trains.

After the opening of the Annen Süd station on the Dortmund-Löttringhausen–Bochum-Langendreer line (known as the Rheinischer Esel—“Rhenish donkey”) of the Rhenish Railway Company on 15 December 1880, it was renamed Annen Nord station.

In the 1980s the old BME station building was replaced by commercial buildings and the freight loading ramp disappeared in the 1990s. As part of a program of rationalisation of freight operations between 2002 and 2004 (known as MORA C), the last freight operations at the station were abandoned.

Train services

Witten-Annen Nord station and Witten Hauptbahnhof are the only S-Bahn stations in the city of Witten. Since 1994, line S 5 services operated by DB Regio NRW have served the station, originally operated during the day at intervals alternating between 20 and 40 minutes; since the timetable change of December 2009, the interval is regularly 30 minutes. This means that one train an hour continues through Witten Hauptbahnhof to and from Hagen. [4] In the evening there are a few direct connections via Hagen and Wuppertal to Düsseldorf/Mönchengladbach.

There is also a bus junction at the station served by bus lines 320 and 375 operated by BOGESTRA and 373 of the Verkehrsgesellschaft Ennepe-Ruhr, connecting with central Witten, Rüdinghausen, Herbede, Sprockhövel, Durchholz, Heven, Stockum, the Kemnader See, the Lottenbach valley and Ruhr University Bochum. [4] At night (weekend) the station is also connected by night bus line NE18 to Bochum-Langendreer via Witten-Stockum and central Witten.
