history

With its train station, which went into operation in 1869, Armsheim forms an important hub in Rheinhessen . This is where the two railway lines Alzey - Mainz and the Rheinhessenbahn from Bingen am Rhein to Worms cross . There used to be a branch from here to the Wiesbachtalbahn in the direction of Wendelsheim via Flonheim , but this was given up for passenger traffic as early as 1966. At weekends and on public holidays from May to October, trips with the Elsass Express from Mainz to Wissembourg are possible. The reception building is a three-storey late classicist type building from the time it was founded. It is a cultural monument according to the Rhineland-Palatinate Monument Protection Act .

After the Bundesbahn was organized under private law in 1994 in the form of Deutsche Bahn , the company apartments were sold and rented. Due to the fact that the agricultural goods are no longer transported by rail, the loading route was shut down. The site was completely renewed from 2009 in cooperation with the municipality, the association, the state of Rhineland-Palatinate and the DB AG, including new park + ride parking spaces. The station's three mechanical signal boxes were replaced by an electronic one in 2007 .

In 2015 the rear part of the former loading lane of Deutsche Bahn AG at Armsheim station was put up for sale.
