Duisburg-Hochfeld Süd station is a station with a large area of rail tracks in Duisburg in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is connected to several important railway lines. In addition, several tracks connect to Duisburg Central Station and various industrial tracks connect with the station area. It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 5 station.
On 23 August 1866, the Rhenish Railway Company (German: Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft, RhE) put the section of the Osterath–Dortmund Süd railway from Hochfeld to Essen RhE station into operation. At the same time the train ferry from Rheinhausen was put into operation.
On 1 September 1866 the then Hochfeld (RhE) station was opened for passenger traffic.
Hochfeld became the central railway station of three important RhE lines, the Osterath–Dortmund Süd railway, the Troisdorf–Mülheim-Speldorf railway and the Duisburg–Quakenbrück railway, which also connect with numerous short routes to or from Hochfeld.
After the nationalisation of the private railway companies around 1880, the Prussian state railways built more links. Duisburg Hochfeld-Süd was also one of the starting points for to freight bypass railway to Oberhausen West.
In passenger operations, the station is now only served by the Regionalbahn service RB 33 (Rhein-Niers-Bahn), operating every half-hour.
The freight line to Mülheim is closed and only the freight line to Oberhausen West freight yard and the line to Duisburg-Wedau on the Troisdorf–Mülheim-Speldorf line are still in operation.
