The Bürstadt train station is a tower train station located at the intersection of the Riedbahn and Nibelungenbahn in Bürstadt . The bottom two tracks are operationally a train station (abbreviation: FBUE), while the top two tracks are a stop (abbreviation: FBUP).

history

Bürstadt received a railway connection and a railway station , as on 27 October 1869, the Nibelungen Railway, built and operated by the Hessian Ludwig Railway , between the train station Rosengarten , the then rechtsrheinischen station of Worms , and the Bensheim train station on the Main-Neckar Railway in operation went. The railway systems were laid out at ground level and today's station building was erected in its basic form.

The expansion of the Riedbahn, also belonging to the Hessian Ludwigsbahn, south of Lampertheim to Mannheim, and the expected traffic made the existing route over the Rosengarten station, which ran in a wide western arc around Bürstadt, impractical. For this reason, a shortened route between Biblis and Lampertheim was built during the expansion to Mannheim . This straight line crossed the Nibelungenbahn in Bürstadt in the area of ​​the local train station and almost at an angle of 90 °. To ensure that it remained operationally trouble-free, the new line was raised here - also in the station area. This structurally created a tower station. Operationally, the routes there are completely separate. There is no local track connection. The Riedbahn went into operation here on November 24, 1879.

The names of the two parts of the station were initially Bürstadt (upper station) and Bürstadt (lower station) . In Bürstadt (upper station) , an overtaking track for freight trains towards Mannheim was installed in 1911 .

In 2015, the city council of Bürstadt decided to commission the Darmstadt-based company Freischlad + Holz to carry out a feasibility study for redesigning the area around the station. The engineering office Mailänder Consult was entrusted with the further planning in January 2016. In the spring of 2019, a new side platform was built on platform 2 (below), replacing the previous intermediate platform, which was only accessible via platform 1. As a result, the platform on track 1 (below) was modernized and raised, a new level crossing was built and the building and the station forecourt were renovated. Elevators to the platforms of the Riedbahn were also built.

Infrastructure

Investments

The station is on the Nibelungenbahn with 10.2 kilometers (counting from Worms Hauptbahnhof ). On the Nibelungen Railway - and thus also in the station Bürstadt - was only subsequently to a September 9, 1906 command by signals introduced. With two tracks on the otherwise single-track Nibelungen Railway, the "Bahnhof" Bürstadt is only operationally a train station here . On the Riedbahn, the “station” is 23.0 kilometers (counting from Mannheim Hauptbahnhof ), but operationally it is a stop , and there are no switch connections between the two tracks of the double-track Riedbahn. The platforms are on the outside and are surrounded by soundproof walls.

In the lower station there used to be several loading and stabling tracks for freight traffic ; these have been removed.

Reception building

Bürstadt station building south side

The station building was erected in its basic form in 1869. When the Riedbahn was added in 1879, it was increased by one floor. It came to be in the southwest corner of the railway lines that crossed here . The building was made of yellow sandstone , traufständig built for Nibelungen Railway and was two stories before its increase. Today the reception building features a three-storey, three-axis main building, which is accompanied on both sides by single-storey wings of different lengths. Among other things, the waiting room was housed here. On the ground floor there are predominantly arched windows, on the upper floors rectangular windows in a classicist shape. The central axis of the main building is designed as a flat, gabled risalit . The main entrance is on the ground floor. The building is now a cultural monument due to the Hessian Monument Protection Act .

business

The station is only served by local transport on both levels : on the Nibelungenbahn through the RB63 Worms - Bensheim , on the Riedbahn through the RB2 ( Karlsruhe -) Mannheim - Biblis and the RE70 Mannheim - Frankfurt am Main . For the trains of the Nibelungenbahn, Bürstadt is usually the scheduled crossing station . The 622/623 ("LINT") series are used on the RB63, the 425 series on the RB2 and the 446 series on the RE70 .
