Early years

The station is located on the Rhein-Main-Bahn , which was opened by the Hessian Ludwigsbahn on August 1, 1858 and which ends in the direction of Mainz initially on the right bank of the Rhine , in a station in the Gustavsburg port . From there, the Mainz – Gustavsburg route conveyed traffic to Mainz . With the opening of the Mainz Südbrücke for scheduled traffic on January 3, 1863, trains from Mainz to Darmstadt and on to Aschaffenburg drove through with locomotives. The port station of Gustav castle was only in freight transport operated what is now the freight station Mainz-Bischofsheim from happening. There was initially no scheduled stop between Mainz and Mainz-Bischofsheim train station . Due to the explosive increase in population in the second half of the 19th century, it became more and more important that Gustavsburg also had a train station. It was finally opened in 1888 and, like the port station, was initially a third-class station. Ten years later, the HLB was now in the Prussian-Hessian Railway Community risen, the two stations in 1898 were merged operationally - the port station was in fact now a rail station Part of the "Gustav Burg-Kostheim" station. The station was also upgraded to a first category station.

Surname

When it opened, the station was called "Gustavsburg-Kostheim". After Gustavsburg was incorporated into Mainz in 1930, the train station was given the name “Mainz-Gustavsburg” on January 1, 1931, without losing its importance as a rail link to the Mainz-Kostheim district on the right of the Main . When the city ​​districts of Mainz on the right bank of the Rhine fell to Hesse after the Second World War , they subsequently formed the municipality (today: city) of Ginsheim-Gustavsburg . The station name did not change accordingly.

Reception building

The station building from 1888 consists of a traufständigen , two-storey, central structure with two likewise traufständigen storey side wings. Building material is brick. On the street side, the three-axis façade of the central building is structured by a single-axis gabled central projection with a bound double window on the first floor. There is a dormer on both sides of the roof of the central building . The year of construction 1888 is noted on the gable and a golden weather vane with the letters HLB , reminiscent of the Hessian Ludwigsbahn, turns . The building is now a cultural monument due to the Hessian Monument Protection Act .

Todays situation

The station is served by the S8 line of the Rhein-Main S-Bahn . This connects Gustavsburg with the Mainz and Wiesbaden main stations as well as with the Frankfurt and Hanau main stations (via Frankfurt Airport and Offenbach ). During rush hour , individual trains of the regional train line RB 75 stop at the station, which - just like the S8 - runs to Wiesbaden via Mainz. In the opposite direction, this line runs via Groß-Gerau , Darmstadt Central Station , Dieburg and Babenhausen to Aschaffenburg Central Station . Due to construction work between Mainz Hbf and Wiesbaden Hbf, these journeys were made via Mainz-Kastel to Wiesbaden Hbf in the 2013 and 2014 timetable years, so that the station was only served by the S8 line during this period.
