History
edit
The station was opened in 1855 as part of the Dortmund–Soest railway built by the Bergisch-Märkische Railway Company (BME) and equipped with an impressive station building, which was sold for non-rail purposes in 2005.[5]
In 1866, the BME opened the line from Unna to Hamm to connect with the Cologne-Minden trunk line.[6] Later the line was extended from Unna to Hagen, making Unna station into a railway junction of regional importance.[7]
Between 1899 and 1901 the Prussian state railways opened the Fröndenberg–Kamen railway to connect the three east-west lines in the area.[8][9] The southern part connected with the line to Menden, which was opened in 1872; this line was extended in 1912 to Neuenrade as the Hönne Valley Railway. The northern part was opened later for freight in 1900 and a year later for passenger traffic. This route is now worked only as far as Unna-Königsborn, as line S 4 of the Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn.
Between 1909 and 1950, the Unna-Kamen-Werne light railway also connected Unna station and Kamen station.
