    The Altmorschen station has been very well restored and shines in new splendor.

      In 1845 construction began on the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Nordbahn between Liebenau-Haueda in the Kassel district and Gerstungen in Thuringia. The architect of the Hessian court, Julius Eugen Ruhl, was responsible for many train stations. He designed individual purpose-built buildings that could be combined with one another in various ways. His massive red brick stations usually consisted of a reception building, a three-story tower, a mostly two-story administration building with a gable facing the track or forecourt, and mostly one-story extensions that were often designed as waiting rooms. Round arches, cornices, tooth friezes and shaped stones were used as decorative elements. Each train station looked a little different, but all had the defining Ruhl style. Altmorschen station was officially opened in 1852, and extensions and heights were added at a later date. But with the electrification and modernization of the railway, the station became just a stop, and at some point the buildings were no longer needed. In 2009, the B. Braun company bought the vacant building and had it restored in an exemplary and stylish manner by 2012. Today the station building serves as a training center for intensive care professionals.
