* Location and served areas: located in big cities (often capitals),
an important node in the international and national long-distance
traffic network, is a central node of the public transport network of
large region
* Traffic: highspeed trains, long-distance trains, night trains,
regional trains, commuter trains
* Examples: Frankfurt (Main), Munich, Stuttgart, Vienna, Salzburg
* importance=national:
* Location and served areas: located in cities with national
importance, important for interchanging between long-distance and
regional trains, used for interchanging between long-distance trains
that connect different parts of a country, important node of the
regional public transport network
* Traffic: (mostly national) long-distance trains, regional trains,
commuter trains
* Examples: Mainz, Mannheim, Bonn, Freiburg (Breisgau), Magdeburg
* importance=regional:
* Location and served areas: located in cities and larger towns with
regional importance, important for interchanging between regional
trains, important node of the regional public transport network
* Traffic: regional trains, commuter trains
* Examples: Düren, Euskirchen, Lienz
* importance=urban:
* Location and served areas: located in towns and larger villages
with local importance, used for connecting these places to larger
cities, important node of the local public transport network, used for
interchanging between local public transport routes
* Traffic: regional trains stopping only in important stations
(Regionalexpress in Germany), regional and commuter trains (S- und
Regionalbahnen in Germany)
* Examples: Remagen, Andernach, Dormagen, Wernigerode
* importance=suburban:
* Location and served areas: located in suburbs of metropolitan
areas, connecting suburbs and bigger light rail and tram stations
* Traffic: commuter trains (S-Bahnen in Germany), light rails (U-
oder Stadtbahnen in Germany)
* Examples: Düsseldorf-Friedrichstadt, Köln Hansaring
* importance=local:
* Location and served areas: typically located in rural areas,
hamlets, villages
* Traffic: regional trains stopping at every station (Regionalbahnen
in Germany)
* Examples: Satzvey, Dalheim, Brocken, Drei Annen-Hohne
I would add two additional categories:
* importance=low:
* Location and served areas: small stops where most trains (even local
trains) do not stop apart form a few "alibi trains" [1] (usually in the
early morning and/or late evening)
* Traffic: few regional trains stopping at every station
* Examples: Rosenberg (Baden), Rammingen (Württemberg), Unadingen
* importance=sometimes
* Location and served areas: stops which are either only served by
irregular running historic trains on preserved lines or only on special
(large) events
* Traffic: only historic trains / anything between two trains per day
and multiple per minute
* Examples: Gerstetten (?), Welzheim
Best regards

[1] Usually two trains (one per direction) which only run to serve an
obligation of service (national railway companies are sometimes force to
serve a line althought the do not really want it).
