Gummersbach station

Gummersbach station is on the Hagen–Dieringhausen railway and serves central Gummersbach in the Oberbergische district. Until the 1980s, Dieringhausen station, which is also in Gummersbach, was more important for the city as it had a rail workshop and was a railway junction. Gummersbach station only became more important with the closing of branch lines in the Oberbergische district and the associated loss of significance for Dieringhausen.

Lack of traffic means that the tracks are now reduced to the basics. The station's buildings were torn down in January 2012 in preparation for road works after years of disuse and new covered platforms were built.
