Between 1911 and 1913 a new station building was built as a “wedge station” (Keilbahnhof) between the old line (now the Heller Valley Railway) and the new line to Siegen. The architect was perhaps Ludwig Hoffmann. The station is located between the two converging railways, which are elevated, allowing the platform subways to be accessed from street level. The facade and much of the buildings themselves are designed around a central axis of symmetry. The façade is dominated by a central projection of yellow sandstone. The ensemble is composed of a mixture of classical elements and Art Nouveau. The station is situated at an altitude of 270 m above sea level. The reception building currently appears neglected and its sidings give the impression of a brownfield.
Linesedit
Haiger station is on the Siegen–Gießen main line (Dill line) and the Heller Valley Railway from Haiger to Betzdorf, now classified as a single track main line, which was originally part of the Deutz–Giessen line. A third line, the Haiger–Breitscheid line, is closed.
