Summary

[edit]
Description
Deutsch: 1867 kam die Eisenbahn nach Schwerte. Ein erster Bahnhof entstand. Bereits 1900 wurde der Bahnhof zu klein. Ein neuer, größerer Bahnhof wurde errichtet, der bis heute in Betrieb ist.

Noch vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg wurden die Strecken nach Hörde und Iserlohn gebaut. Dazu war auch ein neuer Bahnsteig mit Überdachung erforderlich, der spätestens 1926 fertig war. Eine der Stützen des Daches zwischen Gleis 5 und 6, eine Portalstütze, steht jetzt hier auf dem Bahnhofsvorplatz. Sie Stand über der Treppe, die vom Fußgängertunnel zum Bahnsteig führte.

Im Zweiten Weltkrieg ist diese Stütze stark in Mitleidenschaft gezogen worden. Die Einschüsse der Bordwaffen von Kampfflugzeugen sind noch erkennbar. Damit ist die Stütze sowohl ein Denkmal für die Erweiterung und Bedeutung des Eisenbahnverkehrs in Schwerte, als auch eine mahnende Erinnerung an die Sinnlosigkeit eines Krieges.

Die Idee, die zerschossene Portalschütze an dieser Stelle aufzustellen, konnten die Eisenbahnfreunde Schwerte mit der Unterstützung vieler Kräfte verwirklichen.
English: In 1867, the railroad came to Schwerte. A first train station was built. Already in 1900 the station became too small. A new, larger station was built, which is still in operation today.

Before the First World War, the lines to Hörde and Iserlohn were built. This also required a new platform with a roof, which was completed by 1926 at the latest. One of the supports of the roof between tracks 5 and 6, a portal support, now stands here on the station forecourt. It stood above the stairs leading from the pedestrian tunnel to the platform.

During the Second World War, this support was badly damaged. The bullet holes from the weapons of fighter planes are still visible. Thus, the support is both a monument to the expansion and importance of rail traffic in Schwerte and a cautionary reminder of the futility of war.

The idea to erect the shot-up portal gun at this location was realized by the Eisenbahnfreunde Schwerte with the support of many forces.
