Ibbenbüren station

Ibbenbüren station is a regional interchange where the Löhne–Rheine line meets the Ibbenbüren–Hövelhof branch line. Its historical significance stems from the nearby Ibbenbüren colliery, one of Germany's northernmost hard-coal mines, which made the station an important freight hub for decades. Today it handles around 2,300 daily passengers as an ordinary commuter stop, with no particular cultural or tourist appeal.
