Aachen Hauptbahnhof

The Prussian state railways deemed that rather impractical and decided to build a new station situated on a hillside.

The station remained largely undisturbed until suffering from damage in 1944, when German troops were retreating.

Due to its proximity to Belgium, it was decided to implement the switching point from the Deutsche Bahn's 15 kV AC to the 3000 V DC used by the NMBS/SNCB in the station.

In 2007 a new electronic signal box was built, enabling more streamlined operations and automatic switching of the correct voltages.
