The train station in Bad Durkheim (to 1904 Durkheim ) is the main station of the Rhineland-Palatinate district town of Bad Durkheim . It belongs to the station category 5 of the Deutsche Bahn AG (DB) and has three platform tracks .
In addition to the Bad Dürkheim train station, there are also the Bad Dürkheim-Trift stop and the Bad Dürkheim Ost train station in the city. It is located in the network area of the Rhein-Neckar transport association (VRN) and belongs to tariff zone 92. The address of the reception building is Mannheimer Straße 14 .
The station was opened on May 6, 1865 as the terminus of the railway line beginning in Neustadt . With their connection to Monsheim eight years later, it became the terminus . Since 1969 it has been the only one of its kind within the Palatinate .
The narrow-gauge Rhein-Haardtbahn from Ludwigshafen , whose operation is similar to that of an intercity tram and which has been firmly integrated into the Mannheim / Ludwigshafen tram network since 2008, has also ended at its station forecourt since 1913 .
Its reception building is also a listed building .
location
Local situation
The train station is not far from downtown Bad Dürkheim. The streets Am Obstmarkt and Rosmarinweg run approximately parallel to it in the south and Am Rathaus street in the north . The street Wasserhohl crosses the eastern station area. To the north of the reception building is the station square , to the west of it the bus station .
Railway lines
The Palatinate Northern Railway comes from the southeast from Neustadt an der Weinstraße and swings in a large curve to the west into the terminus. In the other direction it runs first a few 100 meters to the east and finally to the northeast to Monsheim. The Rhein-Haardtbahn comes from the east and ends in a turning loop at the station forecourt in front of the reception building.
history
First efforts for a railway connection from Dürkheim (1835–1849)
The original plan was to first put a north-south rail line into operation within what was then the Rhine Palatinate . However, it was agreed to first build a main line in an east-west direction, which should mainly serve to transport coal from the Saar region to the Rhine . East of Kaiserslautern , two variants of the route were up for discussion, as overcoming the Palatinate Forest turned out to be complicated.
Initially, the responsible engineers thought of a route over Dürkheim, with which the Dürkheimer Tal should be overcome. However, this failed due to the fact that its side valleys were too deep and the steam locomotives would have had to stop at times to overcome the differences in altitude.
For this reason they chose a variant over the Neustadter Tal , which according to an expert opinion would also be difficult to overcome, but this is feasible and, in contrast to the Dürkheimer Tal, stationary locomotives can be avoided. A connection of the city of Dürkheim to the railway network was initially a long way off.
Creation of the Palatinate Northern Railway
In 1860 a local committee tried to build a railway that would run from Neustadt an der Weinstrasse via Bad Dürkheim to Frankenthal . Above all, the factories based in Dürkheim should benefit from a railway line. Although such a route would have meant parallel traffic to the Palatinate Ludwig Railway and the Mainz – Ludwigshafen railway line , the initiators were optimistic that the planned route would be preferred due to its greater scenic charm.
However, the corresponding petition did not meet with any response, as difficulties with the Palatinate Ludwig Railway Company were feared. For this reason, an agreement was reached on January 25, 1862 that only a local railway should be built between Neustadt and Bad Dürkheim. After the concession was granted on August 22nd of the same year, the Neustadt-Dürkheimer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft was founded two months later and was to operate the line.
The train station, which was initially 13.9 kilometers long, was opened on May 6, 1865 as part of the Neustadt – Bad Dürkheim line. The further construction in the then Hessian Monsheim, which was already the subject of negotiations in 1863, was delayed due to the hilly terrain. After the traffic between Monsheim and Grünstadt was opened on March 20, 1873 , the gap to Dürkheim was completed on July 20. It was decided not to relocate the station, which had been the end of the line for eight years; instead, from 1873, it served as a terminus.
In this context, the station was given a new reception building , as the original one was only intended as a temporary measure. The latter was rebuilt at the same time at Landau Westbahnhof along the Landau – Zweibrücken railway line opened in 1874 and 1875 . After the city was officially called "Bad Dürkheim" from 1904, the station name was changed accordingly.
Further development
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 administered by the Neustadt Operations and Building Inspectorate and was the seat of a railway maintenance office. In 1913, the Bad Dürkheim – Ludwigshafen-Oggersheim line was opened by Rhein-Haardtbahn GmbH and began on the station square. The railway, which is licensed as a railway between Ludwigshafen-Oggersheim and Bad Dürkheim , runs within Bad Dürkheim like a tram on grooved rails . It was created instead of a direct railway connection of the state railway between Bad Dürkheim and Ludwigshafen am Rhein.
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 operations office (RBA) Neustadt and the railway maintenance office in Bad Dürkheim.
The German Federal Railroad (DB), which was responsible for the operation of the Northern Railway from 1949, incorporated the station into the Mainz Federal Railway Directorate , which allocated all the railway lines within the newly created federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate . Since the closure of the former terminus in Ludwigshafen in the 1960s, it has been the only terminus in the Vorderpfalz . 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. In the following years, the station was dismantled to the halt. At the same time, the platform barriers were lifted. At the end of the 1980s, the DB considered shutting down the Bad Dürkheim – Freinsheim section including the Erpolzheim station, but this became obsolete in 1989 when the Bad Dürkheim-Trift stop between Bad Dürkheim and Erpolzheim was put into operation. The station has been part of the Rhein-Neckar transport association (VRN) since 1990 .
Buildings
The station building, which was built in 1872 and 1873, is a listed building . It is a late Classicist building made of sandstone on an H-shaped floor plan with three wings. It is also available as an H0 model from the Faller company for model railways .
business
passenger traffic
Immediately after the northern railway was opened continuously in 1873, passenger trains went via Monsheim to Marnheim on the Langmeil – Monsheim railway line .
Only regional trains currently stop at Bad Dürkheim station with three platform tracks. A regional train line connects the station with the city of Neustadt an der Weinstrasse and Freinsheim every 30 minutes . The regional train, which ends in Freinsheim, runs every hour to Grünstadt . At the weekend and on public holidays in summer, an excursion train called "Elsass-Express" also runs from Mainz via Bad Dürkheim to Wissembourg . This is also the only continuous train beyond Grünstadt to Monsheim.
In addition, the turning loop of the Bad Dürkheim – Ludwigshafen-Oggersheim railway line is in front of the station . Lines 4 / 4A and 9 of the Mannheim / Ludwigshafen tram run on this route, as well as the "RNV-Express" ( Heidelberg – Mannheim – Ludwigshafen – Bad Dürkheim), which runs under the line name “9”, on summer weekends .

Freight transport
At the beginning of the 20th century, freight trains were used on the Neustadt – Monsheim route. For decades, the loading of wine bottles and barrels played an important role in the station. The loading of sugar beet was very important in the autumn. In 1975 the goods handling facility was closed. Until then, the station itself had a class 1 small locomotive for shunting work . Since then, transfer trains have served the station, which at that time was no longer an independent freight tariff point. It was operated from the Neustadt main station , which it served as a satellite. In the meantime, goods traffic on site came to a complete standstill.
