Unkel train station: Modernization plans bring light into the dark!

Unkel, Deutschland - The train station in Unkel is currently criticized because it is perceived as uninvited. Martin Mendel, deputy state chairman of the Pro Bahn Rhineland-Palatinate/Saarland passenger association, rated the train station. In its judgment, the station forecourt is classified as in good condition, while the platform is neglected and not barrier -free. It is particularly striking that the Linz train station cuts better in the evaluation, but is also not perfect.

A certain historical interest arouses an advertising table on the old station building in Unkel, on which ex-Federal Chancellor Willy Brandt is depicted. This table points to the Willy Brandt Forum, which is known in the area.

In a positive step for the future of the Unkel station, it was announced that he was included in the state program for the modernization of traffic stations in Rhineland-Palatinate. This was made by Dr. Klaus Vornehusen, the authorized representative of Deutsche Bahn AG. In the course of the year, Deutsche Bahn AG will approach the city of Unkel to coordinate details on the financing and the time sequence of the measures.

In addition, the city council Unkel decided on February 2, 2021, an investment of over two million euros for the redesign of the station environment. Dr. Klaus Vornhusen praised the city council's decision as positive. Alfons Mußhoff, CDU parliamentary group spokesman, also expressed the answer of Deutsche Bahn AG and emphasized the commitment of CDU state parliamentarians and the former chairman of the Unkeler Senior and Disability Advisory Board for the modernization of the station. The “strong rail” strategy of Deutsche Bahn AG pursues the goal of bringing more travelers to the rail and improving the transition between rail, bus and bike.
