Seesen station


Seesen station is the largest station in the town of Seesen in the German state of Lower Saxony. Münchehof station also still serves the municipality.
It has three platform edges with a length of 140 metres each and a height of 55 centimetres. The station was made barrier-free under the project Niedersachsen ist am Zug II for about €2.6 million: lifts were installed on platform 1 and on the island platform with tracks 2 and 4. Each platform has a dynamic train indicator that informs about delays and other deviations from the timetable. The old freight yard in Seesen is no longer used and has been abandoned. The tracks that were no longer needed for freight transport were removed by 2013. Track 3 of the passenger station had already been dismantled.

Station building

The station building is only used to a limited extent and is now privately owned. In addition to the waiting room, a DB travel agency is also housed in the station building. The Lebenshilfe has leased premises to supply help with housework.

Railway lines

The station is located on the Herzberg–Seesen railway and the Brunswick Southern Railway and thus functions as a junction station. The Seesen–Derneburg railway was decommissioned on 1 January 1996 and partially dismantled. In 2013, plans were made to reactivate the line, but the plans were quickly rejected, as the reactivation would have become uneconomic due to the fact that large parts of the roadbed have being developed as cycle paths.
