Maarheeze station is a station on the Eindhoven - Weert railway line. The station is located near the town of Maarheeze in Noord-Brabant on the Driebos (industrial area Den Engelsman) in Maarheeze.
The original station, opened in 1913, had an island platform and was right next to the village. This station was closed in 1938, but the remains of the platform were not cleaned up until the early 90s.
The Maarheeze Station was founded on April 22, 2004, a group of residents of Maarheeze who are committed to building a new Maarheeze station. The emphasis was on the important regional function that the station can fulfill at the Poort van Brabant along the A2 motorway.
The new Maarheeze station was opened on 13 June 2010. The station is not located at the location of the old station but to the south of the village on the Driebos, near industrial area Den Engelsman. The station can therefore be reached directly from exit 37 of the A2.
There are (unguarded) bicycle sheds on either side of the station. A self-service public transport bicycle rental location is also available. There are 194 parking places for cars on the west side of the station. Parking is free. There is a cafeteria at the parking lot.
