Rheydt-Odenkirchen station

Rheydt-Odenkirchen is a station in the Mönchengladbach suburb of Odenkirchen in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
The station was opened under the name of Odenkirchen in February 1870 at line kilometre 6.9 on the original line from Mönchengladbach. Between 1905 and 1945 there was a single-track connection to Rheydt freight yard. In 1908, a parallel route was built to Rheydt Hauptbahnhof, which is now part of the Cologne–Mönchengladbach railway. On 1 August 1929, Odenkirchen was merged with Rheydt, München-Gladbach, Giesenkirchen and Schelsen to form the new city of Gladbach-Rheydt. This city was dissolved again in 1933, but Odenkirchen, Giesenkirchen and Schelsen stayed with Rheydt and the station was renamed Rheydt-Odenkirchen in 1962. This name was not changed with the reincorporation of Rheydt into Mönchengladbach on 1 January 1975.
