The Albsheim (Eis) train station is currently the only stopping point in the Rhineland-Palatinate town of Albsheim an der Eis and the only stop in the local community of Obrigheim (Pfalz) . It belongs to the station category 6 of the Deutsche Bahn AG (DB) and has a platform track . The station is located in the network area of ​​the Rhein-Neckar transport association (VRN) and belongs to tariff zone 52. Its address is Bahnhofstrasse 30 .

It was opened on July 20, 1873 with the completion of the Palatinate Northern Railway Neustadt - Monsheim . Now it's just a stopping point. Its reception building is also a listed building .

location

The stop is on the western outskirts of Albsheim. A few hundred meters further south, the Worms – Grünstadt railway line , which is no longer used for passenger traffic and has now been partially dismantled , separates, at which there was also a local stop.

history

The line from Neustadt to Dürkheim , opened in 1865, was originally intended to be tied through to Frankenthal . The plans were later changed so that they should be extended via Grünstadt and Albsheim to Monsheim . Due to the hilly terrain, the construction of the route was very complex. On March 20, 1873, the station was opened as one of three intermediate stops on the northern section of Monsheim – Grünstadt; the gap between Dürkheim and Grünstadt was closed on July 20th. Until 1910 the station was called "Albsheim ad Eis", then "Albsheim a Eis".

At the beginning of the 20th century, like all other stations in the Palatinate, the station received platform closures. During this time, the station was managed by the Neustadt Operations and Building Inspectorate and was part of the Grünstadt railway maintenance department . In 1922 the station was incorporated into the newly established Ludwigshafen Reich Railway Directorate . A year later employed at the station railway workers were the carried out in the course of France, to 1924 permanent director operation reported. Then they returned. In the course of the dissolution of the Ludwigshafen management, he changed to the area of ​​responsibility of the Mainz management on April 1, 1937; at that time he was subordinate to the works office (RBA) Neustadt.

The German Federal Railroad (DB), which was responsible for rail operations from 1949, incorporated the station into the Mainz Federal Railway Directorate , which allocated all the railway lines within the newly created state of Rhineland-Palatinate . In the course of the gradual dissolution of the Mainz directorate in the early 1970s, its counterpart in Karlsruhe was responsible for the train station with effect from June 1, 1971. At the same time, the platform barriers were lifted. Along with the abandonment of freight transport, the station was dismantled to the stop. Passenger traffic between Grünstadt and Monsheim ended on June 2, 1984. However, it was reactivated on May 28, 1995. Since then, the station has been part of the Rhein-Neckar transport association (VRN). From April to May 2004, the breakpoint was modernized and, among other things, the platform was raised.

Reception building

The listed entrance building is a late Classicist type building from the years 1872 and 1873 with an attached goods shed . There is no longer any meaning for this.

traffic

passenger traffic

After the continuous opening of the railway line in 1873, passenger trains often drove beyond Monsheim to Marnheim on the Langmeil – Monsheim railway line over the course of several decades . After the Second World War, the station, like the entire section of the route, lost its importance due to a shift in traffic flows in the direction of Ludwigshafen / Frankenthal. Since reactivation in 1995, the station has been served hourly by regional trains on the Monsheim - Grünstadt route. The “Elsass-Express” excursion train, which also runs on the Northern Railway in the summer months, only stops at the two neighboring stations, Grünstadt and Bockenheim-Kindenheim . Continuous trains to Neustadt no longer exist.

Freight transport

At the beginning of the 20th century, freight trains were used on the Neustadt – Monsheim route. From the 1980s, transfer trains operated the station, which at that time was no longer an independent freight tariff point. It was operated from the Grünstadt train station , which it served as a satellite. In the meantime, however, freight traffic has come to a standstill, and the station was then dismantled to the stop.
