Location Wattenscheid Location within North Rhine-Westphalia

Wattenscheid station is on the Witten/Dortmund–Oberhausen/Duisburg railway. It is one of two stations in the formerly independent city of Wattenscheid, now a district of the city of Bochum in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The other station is Wattenscheid-Höntrop. In late 2007, Wattenscheid station was downgraded to a Haltepunkt (literally “halt”, meaning that it is not a rail junction and has no sets of points). It is located just south of central Wattenscheid, next to the A 40 autobahn on the western edge of an industrial area.
