Location and structure

History
editBayer planned an enlargement of its plant in the area of the Krefeld-Uerdingen – Homberg branch line in 1961. Therefore, Hohenbudberg Bayerwerk station was built on the Duisburg-Ruhrort–Mönchengladbach railway for the workers at the Bayer works, replacing Hohenbudberg station on the line.[5] In 2013, it was renamed Chempark like the other stations that included Bayerwerk (Bayer works) in their names, and the city’s name Krefeld was added as a prefix.[4]

Public transport
editBefore the Bayer works was enlarged to the south in 2004/2005, there was a bus stop called Hohenbudberg Bayerwerk Bf next to the station on the then Friedensstraße. It was served by routes 054 and 927 of SWK Mobil, which travelled down Friedensstraße to the Uerdingen–Rumeln-Kaldenhausen connecting road and then ran to the south towards Uerdingen station and inner Krefeld and the 054 continued to Willich-Anrath. The 927 ran to the north towards Rheinhausen. When the Bayer works expanded to the south in 2004/2005, Friedenstraße had to be closed. Since then route 927 has run parallel to the railway line and 054 has stopped west of Friedensstraße. The nearest stop on the 927 is at Chempark Tor 2 (gate 2). The night route NE27 runs from Duisburg-Rheinhausen to Krefeld, but mostly end at the Chempark Tor 2 stop.
