Unlike in most other German cities, the main train station in Hamm is not called Hauptbahnhof, but Hamm (Westfalen) – in the timetables you can often see it as Hamm (Westf) or Hamm (W).

Although Hamm is a much smaller city when compared to some of its peers in North Rhine-Westphalia, the train station in Hamm is among the most important long distance train hubs in the region and a junction of high-speed ICE trains. There are ICE trains for Berlin at 1 hour interval and trains for many other German cities, including Aachen, Cologne, Bonn, Hannover, and the major cities in the Rhein-Ruhr region like Dortmund or Wuppertal.
