Railway stations in Friedrichsdorf

In Friedrichsdorfer city four stations in rail traffic, including two railway stations and two break points exist. There is also the Saalburg train station . This is formally on the Köppen district, but opens up the Wehrheimer Saalburgsiedlung. With the exception of Dillingen , all districts are therefore connected to local rail passenger transport (SPNV).

Friedrichsdorf

The Friedrichsdorf (Taunus) train station is located in the Friedrichsdorf town center , from which there are rail connections to the three districts.

Burgholzhausen


Burgholzhausen vdH stop, track side and station building

In Burgholzhausen today is only one breakpoint named Burgholzhausen vdH (abbreviation: FBGH), which is a transport maintenance category. 6 In the double-track time of the railway line to Friedberg it was still a train station. The height of the 95 m long platform has been 55 cm since the renovation in 2002, which enables ground level entry into the GTW 2/6 vehicles used here . Previously, the platform consisted only of gravel reinforcement. During rush hour the trains stop here every half hour in each direction, otherwise every hour.

The listed reception building (Wilhelm-Reuter-Weg 19) is privately owned and inhabited. The building from 1901 was originally a type construction similar to the train station in Ober-Rosbach. A two-storey station building with half-timbered gables with slatted gables on all sides with low extensions on the sides was built on a T-shaped floor plan. An extension was added from 2010, which only adapts to the existing architecture in terms of the window design on the street side.

Köppern train station

On the southern edge of Köppern , immediately after the level crossing of Köpperner Strasse / Homburger Landstrasse on the Taunus Railway, is the Köpperner train station. Before the line was modernized, there was a small mechanical signal box for the three-track station in the station building. The island platform was used for passenger traffic on the two upper tracks, but the freight loading track was also led past the building. With the renovation in 1992, two side platforms were created, which can be reached via a small pedestrian crossing; Since then, Köppern has been remotely controlled by the electronic interlocking in Usingen , and there is only one area computer (ESTW-A) in Köppern. A loading track was also set up, but it ends in the direction of Friedrichsdorf before the platforms. The station building had to be demolished due to the dilapidation due to the long neglect. With the exception of a shorter extension, it was identical to the one in Neu-Anspach .

In 2006, the platforms were lengthened to 140 m to enable four-way traction of the VT 2E and three-way traction of the LINT 41 . They are at the S-Bahn height of 96 cm, which is atypical for a regional train. In November 2007 the equipment was expanded to include train destination displays .

Today there is a park-and-ride area on the area of the reception building and the former goods area . There are also bicycle parking spaces and boxes.

Köppern serves as a crossing station every half hour on weekdays and once an hour on Sundays and public holidays. In addition, there are continuous trains to Frankfurt Central Station during rush hour .

There is a bus stop on Köpperner Straße near the level crossing, which is served by the Friedrichsdorfer city bus.

Seulberg

Seulberg stop

During the construction of the former Usinger Bahn via Friedrichsdorf, the mayor advocated a passenger station in Seulberg, which was still independent at the time . So Seulberg got a train station, which was downgraded to the stopping point with the conversion of the signaling technology to the Bad Homburg central signal box. In contrast to most train stations in the RMV, it does not additionally bear the name of the city, but only Seulberg and the abbreviation FSG . At the eastern end there is a small reception building where tickets could previously be purchased. It is now also privately owned and has been renovated. With the expansion of the now double-track line to the S-Bahn, a simple pedestrian bridge was built, which is identical to the one at the Erbstadt-Kaichen stop on the Friedberg – Hanau railway line , but which has been abandoned. In the era of electrification, the bridge with an underpass in Hardtwaldallee made the guard- operated level crossing in Oberbornstraße superfluous, which gave way to the new 210 m long side platforms. They are located at the usual regional platform height of 76 cm. Today all S-Bahns and Taunusbahn trains that end in Bad Homburg stop here. Only two of the through Taunusbahn trains to Frankfurt Central Station stop. On working days a train stops every 9 and 21 minutes in the direction of Friedrichsdorf and every 11 and 19 minutes in the direction of Bad Homburg. Due to the frequency of frequencies, Seulberg was classified in station category 4 until 2010, since 2011 it has been category 5. In 2010, a simple passenger information system was set up to inform about possible delays or cancellations.
