Vohwinkel station is the most western station in the city of Wuppertal, located in the district of Vohwinkel. It is a triangular station, built at a railway junction.
History The original station was built slightly further west than the present station in 1841 by the Düsseldorf-Elberfeld Railway Company. The Prince William Railway was extended to Vohwinkel in 1848, creating a railway junction. The present building was built at the beginning of the 20th century by the Prussian state railways to the design of Alexander Rüdell.
In the early 20th Century a three km-long marshalling yard was built to the west of the station, but it has since been closed and demolished.
In addition to the Düsseldorf-Elberfeld through line and the branch to the former Prince William line (now the line to Essen), in the past there was a railway line connecting to the now closed Wuppertal Northern Railway and the now closed Corkscrew line from Solingen terminated there.
