History

edit

The Brunswick Southern Railway (Brunswick–Kreiensen railway) was built from Brunswick towards Kreiensen through the south of modern urban area of Salzgitter in 1856, passing through Salzgitter station—now called Salzgitter Bad station—and Ringelheim (Harz). The rail network in the Salzgitter area was extensively remodelled between 1938 and 1958. In Ringelsheim station, the Brunswick–Kreiensen railway crossed the Hildesheim–Grauhof section of the Hildesheim–Goslar railway completed by the Hanover-Altenbeken Railway Company in 1875 to connect with the Halberstadt–Vienenburg railway of the Magdeburg–Halberstadt Railway Company. At this time a station building was built to a Harz design. It was demolished in the late 1980s. Salzgitter Ringelsheim station has been modernised since 2000.
