The station Darmstadt Ost is a transit station on the Odenwaldbahn in Darmstadt .
designation
The station Darmstadt East went in 1869 as Rosenhöhe as part of the construction of Odenwaldbahn in operation. It received its current name around 1900, when it was also given this name in passenger traffic on October 1, 1900, after it had already been introduced in freight traffic.
Reception building
The station building is a 1½-storey late classicist half-timbered building with brick filling , which according to the Darmstadt monument topography "reminds of a train station in the Russian taiga " and is described in the monument topography railway in Hesse as a "rural station building". It is Darmstadt's oldest preserved reception building. The view of the elongated building, partly constructed in timber framework, is characterized by vertical wooden cladding on the upper floors and flat, crossed gable roofs . The ground floor comprised a waiting room with a ticket office, while apartments for railway employees were housed on the upper floor. The historic reception building is a cultural monument according to the Hessian Monument Protection Act . It is no longer used by rail operations and has been replaced by a bus stop-style shelter for travelers. The historic entrance building was sold to private investors who renovated it in accordance with the preservation order and set up a bicycle shop and office space here.
Traffic importance
