Rathenow (German: Bahnhof Rathenow) is a railway station on the Berlin–Lehrte railway located in Rathenow, in the Havelland, Germany. It is used by about 3,300 passengers daily.[4]
The station consists of the main building, located on the Dunckerplatz ("Duncker place"), later partly renamed as the Bahnhofsvorplatz (“station forecourt”), a disused water tower and the former entrance building for the German Emperor, which now serves as a tourist information office and a bike rental agency. The station also has a platform subway connecting to platform tracks 3 and 4, which are used by the Brandenburg Towns Railway (Brandenburgische Städtebahn), a parking area with 133 spaces and parking for 80 bicycles, 20 of which are covered.
Rathenow station also included a terminus of the former 750 mm gauge Rathenow-Senzke-Nauen District Railway (Kreisbahn Rathenow-Senzke-Nauen). Outside the station there are still remnants of the tracks of the District Railway, which are heritage-listed. The also listed remains of the Brandenburg Towns Railway, including the reception building, are on the south side of the station.[5]
