History

The branch line from Plattling to Deggendorf was opened in 1866. This line was extended into the Bavarian Forest in 1874. The entire line was completed in 1877, when Deggendorf station was also opened. This was followed by the construction of additional lines. Thus, the line to Metten opened on 17 October 1891 and another line was opened initially to Hengersberg on 26 November 1913 and was completed to Kalteneck in the municipality of Hutthurm on 1 August 1914. Due to the increased importance of the station it was renamed as Deggendorf Hauptbahnhof (main station) on 5 May 1941.[4]

Building

The two-storey entrance building was built in 1877 in a historicist style with a low pitched roof and is now under protection as a monument. It has a gabled avant-corps and a porch on the "home" platform.[5] This is connected via an underpass to an island platform. The platform that used to be used for operations on the now disused Deggendorf–Metten line[6] is now dismantled. A goods shed built at the end of the 19th century as a bare brick construction with a low pitched roof is also protected as a cultural monument.[5]

The station does not have barrier-free access for the disabled.[7]
