History

The station was opened in 1945 as Kettwig-Pusch after the German army had destroyed the Ruhr bridges in Kettwig during the last days of World War II. It was used to connect the railway lines to Mülheim an der Ruhr, Düsseldorf and Velbert with each other. After a single Ruhr bridge was rebuilt, the station was renamed Kettwig Stausee in 1953. In 1960, services to Velbert and in 1968 services to Mülheim ended. The station building was torn down in 1981, and the station was downgraded to a mere S-Bahn stop.

The station today sees regular service by Rhein-Ruhr S-Bahn trains on the S6 line.[4]
