Solingen Grünewald station is in the city of Solingen in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is on the Wuppertal-Oberbarmen–Solingen railway. The line through the site of Solingen Grünewald station was opened on 12 February 1890 as part of the Solingen–Wuppertal-Vohwinkel line, known as the Korkenzieherbahn ("Corkscrew Railway"), to Vohwinkel.[3] The station was opened on 6 May 2006.[2] It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 3 station.[1]

The station is served by line S 7 of the Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn, branded as Der Müngstener, operated every 20 minutes from Monday to Friday and generally every half hour on weekends and at off-peak times, using (LINT 41) vehicles.[4][5] Until 15 December 1913 the station was served by Regional-Express service RB 47, operated by DB Regio NRW, normally with two-carriage sets of class 628.4.[5] The Abellio Deutschland company won a contract that was put to tender in November 2010 and took over the operation of passenger services on the route from December 2013 for a period of 15 years.[6][7]

It is served by a trolleybus line operated by Stadtwerke Solingen at 10-minute intervals. Stadtwerke Solingen also operates bus route 699 through the station six times a day. The station is served every 60 minutes by bus route 250 operated by Wiedenhoff.[4]
