ビットブルク＝エルドルフ駅

The architect Julius Carl Raschdorff also designed the stations of Kyllburg, Ehrang and Speicher. Raschdorff, who held a professorship at the Imperial Technical University of Charlottenburg, is mainly known for the construction of the Berlin Cathedral.^[1]

The building is particularly distinguished by its red sandstone squares and lies between the railway tracks and Mainzer Straße. Build in red sandstone in the Gothic Revival style, similar to other entrance buildings on the Eifel Railway, it makes reference to the landscape and the regional history. The ticket hall, which ends with shield gables, juts out at right angles on both longitudinal sides. The gables are additionally emphasised by pointed arches. The part of the building that adjoins to the south of the ticket hall is accentuated by a projecting bay-like dwarf gable structure. The gabled structures of the north side as well as their embellishments are designed as a work of art.^[7] These splendid "palaces" (Schlösser) were financed from the money that France had to pay as reparations to Germany after the Franco-Prussian War.^[5]

Three extensions have been added since the completion of the original station. These were, however, inserted in such a way that they are hardly visible to the viewer.^[1] The station building has heritage protection.

From the opening of the Nims-Sauer Valley Railway there was a locomotive shed, and a small turntable at Erdorf station, which existed until the 1960s. At first, there were also water cranes in the station for filling the steam locomotives on all platforms.

Erdorf station was equipped with two mechanical signal boxes. The signal box for the Nims-Sauer Valley Railway branch is under monument protection. It has a base of quarried limestone with two storeys. Above it there is another storey, which is disguised from the line with timber work. Two small bay windows protrude from the rectangular floor plan.^[7]
