History

The station was opened on 1 May 1896 and is located on the Sittard–Herzogenrath railway and the Heerlen–Schin op Geul railway. The station was an important mining station, until the mines closed down. From Heerlen, you can travel to Aachen and some other destinations in Germany, close to the Dutch border. An Intercity service connects Heerlen to Eindhoven and Schiphol.

As part of the 'Maankwartier' (Moon Quarter) project, construction of an entirely new train station started in December 2012.
