Niebüll station, opened on November 15, 1887, is an important transport hub in Schleswig-Holstein. It is located on the Elmshorn-Westerland Marschbahn line and is a central transfer point for travelers who want to go to Sylt. A special feature is the car train terminal, from which vehicles are loaded onto the island of Sylt.
The station's reception building dates from 1887 and still houses two mechanical signal boxes from the 1920s. Another historical highlight is the water tower from 1926, which was used for steam locomotives until 1972 and, after extensive restoration, now serves as a holiday home.
Niebüll station has four platform tracks, which are mainly used for regional and long-distance traffic. There are connections to Westerland, Hamburg, Berlin and other cities in Germany. There is also a connection to Tønder in Denmark, which is operated by the North German Railway Company (neg). The signage on the platforms is in both German and North Frisian (Naibel).
In the immediate vicinity of the DB station is the neg station, the starting point of the Niebüll-Dagebüll narrow-gauge railway, which provides ferry connections to the islands of Föhr and Amrum.
The station offers numerous amenities such as bicycle parking spaces, luggage lockers, and accessibility. There is also a DB travel center where travelers receive comprehensive service.
