history
On January 22, 1906, the construction of the last section of the Nuttlar – Frankenberg railway between Bromskirchen and Frankenberg began. In the course of the work, up to 600 foreign workers were housed in Allendorf. The line was opened on December 1, 1908. On November 17, 1910, the first section of the branch line in Allendorf to Bad Berleburg to Hatzfeld was put into operation, and the entire line was completed by August 15, 1911.
The station had extensive facilities for freight traffic, and there are siding to the neighboring Viessmann plant nearby .
On November 14, 1966, traffic on the Nuttlar – Frankenberg railway in the direction of Winterberg was stopped. The route between Frankenberg and Allendorf was used for continuous connections on the Upper Edertal Railway until 1981. On May 30, 1981, the remaining passenger traffic between Frankenberg and Bad Berleburg was discontinued. The through freight traffic was stopped on December 15, 2002.
From 2005 to 2007, under the management of the Kurhessenbahn , excursion trains with DB class 628 railcars ran regularly on Sundays and public holidays between Frankenberg and Battenberg-Auhammer . Since then, there has been sporadic passenger traffic in excursion traffic to events such as the Eder Bike Tour . Freight traffic still takes place between Frankenberg and Battenberg.
Reception building
The station building was designed by Alois Holtmeyer in 1910 in the rural neo-baroque style. The type construction is designed similarly to, for example, the reception building in Röddenau . The eaves - standing two-storey main building made of exposed framework has a hip on the rail side, while a gable was built on the street side . Only one of the original two half-timbered extensions has survived. The building is now privately owned.
Investments
In addition to the main track with a side platform, the track on the former house platform is still located, on the southern side of the main track there are two more sidings connected on both sides. On the southernmost track there is an unloading facility for liquid gas. (As of 2019).
