Unna station is the main passenger station in the Westphalian city of Unna in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The other stations in the city that are served by regular passenger services are Unna-Königsborn, Unna West, Massen, Lünern and Hemmerde.
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.
In 1866, the BME opened the line from Unna to Hamm to connect with the Cologne-Minden trunk line. Later the line was extended from Unna to Hagen, making Unna station into a railway junction of regional importance.
Between 1899 and 1901 the Prussian state railways opened the Fröndenberg–Kamen railway to connect the three east-west lines in the area. 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.
Unna station is served by the following trains services. The station also serves as the central bus junction for the city.
