History
{{stack|File:Unna Bahnhof IMGP3160.jpg}}
The station was opened in 1855 as part of the Dortmund–Soest railway built by the Bergisch-Märkische Railway Company (BME) and equipped with an impressive station building, which was sold for non-rail purposes in 2005.{{cite journal | url= http://www.unna.de/herbstblatt/hb39/hb39_03.html| title= 150 years of Unna station |author =Rudolf Geitz|journal = Herbst-Blatt |date= June 2005 |issue=39 |access-date=5 September 2011 |language=de}}
In 1866, the BME opened the line from Unna to Hamm to connect with the Cologne-Minden trunk line.{{cite web| url= http://nrwbahnarchiv.bplaced.net/strecken/2932.htm | title= Unna - Hamm (Westf) line|work=NRW Rail Archive |publisher= André Joost |access-date=5 September 2011 |language=de}} Later the line was extended from Unna to Hagen, making Unna station into a railway junction of regional importance.{{cite web| url= http://nrwbahnarchiv.bplaced.net/strecken/2840.htm | title= Schwerte - Holzwickede line|work=NRW Rail Archive |publisher= André Joost |access-date=5 September 2011 |language=de}}
Between 1899 and 1901 the Prussian state railways opened the Fröndenberg–Kamen railway to connect the three east-west lines in the area.{{cite web| url= http://nrwbahnarchiv.bplaced.net/strecken/2852.htm | title= Fröndenberg - Unna line|work=NRW Rail Archive |publisher= André Joost |access-date=5 September 2011 |language=de}}{{cite web| url= http://nrwbahnarchiv.bplaced.net/strecken/2933.htm | title= Unna - Kamen line|work=NRW Rail Archive |publisher= André Joost |access-date=5 September 2011 |language=de}} The southern part connected with the line to Menden, which was opened in 1872; this line was extended in 1912 to Neuenrade as the Hönne Valley Railway. The northern part was opened later for freight in 1900 and a year later for passenger traffic. This route is now worked only as far as Unna-Königsborn, as line S 4 of the Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn.
Between 1909 and 1950, the Unna-Kamen-Werne light railway also connected Unna station and Kamen station.
