Northeim (Han) railway station (German: Bahnhof Northeim (Han)) is a railway hub in the town of Northeim, Germany. It is classed as category 3 station and has six platforms. In addition to 3 daily Intercity trains, regional railway trains stop at the station.
Northeim was connected to the railway network on 31 July 1854 with the opening of the line from Alfeld to Göttingen (the old North-South Line). On 1 September 1871 the South Harz Railway to Herzberg (Harz) and Nordhausen was opened. With the opening of the Solling Railway to Ottbergen on 15 January 1878, Northeim became an important railway hub. From now on, the railway had a major impact on the development of the town.
Heavy air raids in February and April 1945 fully destroyed Northeim station and its representative station hall, which had been built in 1885. After the Second World War, work on rebuilding Northeim station began.
In the late 1960s the present station building was constructed; in 1993 a travel centre was built, that replaced the traditional ticket counters.
From 1988, trains of the first InterRegio line in the Deutsche Bahn stopped at the station. These services replaced the D-Zug expresses. In December 2002 the InterRegio trains were superseded by 2-hourly Intercity trains.
On 15 November 1992 at 1.30 am there was an accident in the immediate vicinity of Northeim station that resulted in 11 deaths and 51 injuries.
