history
Railway projects around Bellheim
Originally it was planned to start operating a railway line in north-south direction from the Rheinschanze via Lauterbourg to Strasbourg within the Rhine district belonging to Bavaria , which should compete with the Mannheim – Basel line planned by Baden . However, this was postponed in favor of the Palatinate Ludwigshafen - Bexbach, which opened between 1847 and 1849 . In the period that followed, discussions took place as to whether a route along the mountains from Neustadt via Landau to Wissembourg or a route along the Rhine via Speyer , Germersheim and Wörth was more urgent and desirable. Since the military in particular preferred a route on the edge of the Palatinate Forest , one in the form of the Maximiliansbahn Neustadt – Wissembourg was preferred.
In 1864 the Speyer route opened in 1847 was extended to Germersheim. Thereupon plans were made to establish a strategic cross connection between the fortresses of Germersheim and Landau . Of a total of four variants, two should run south of the Queich via Bellheim and Offenbach . Above all, the Landau city council campaigned for a route via Bellheim. Nevertheless, a route north of the river via Westheim , Ober- and Niederlustadt and Zeiskam was implemented.
In 1863 and 1864, a local committee from neighboring Rülzheim , which included representatives from Bellheim, pushed for an extension of the route that ended in Germersheim to Wörth , which resulted in a first draft about Bellheim a little later.
Further development
In 1922 the station was incorporated into the newly established Ludwigshafen Reich Railway Directorate . In the course of its dissolution on April 1, 1937, he moved to the area of responsibility of the Mainz management.
The German Federal Railways was divided the station after the Second World War in the Bundesbahndirektion Mainz one, they all railway lines within the newly created state of Rhineland-Palatinate allotted. In 1971 the station came under the responsibility of its Karlsruhe counterpart in the course of the dissolution of the Mainz management. In the 1990s the station was dismantled to a stopping point . In mid-December 2010 it was integrated into the Karlsruhe Stadtbahn network. In the course of this, the island platform was replaced by a side platform .
Reception building
The former station building , which was built around 1870, is a so-called "type building" made of brick. It dates from when the train station was opened and is a listed building . It is no longer of any importance for rail operations.
traffic
The station is served every half hour. The lines S 51 and S 52 of the Karlsruhe Stadtbahn run once an hour, both of which start at Germersheim station and lead to Karlsruhe city center. The former follows the Winden – Karlsruhe railway line until shortly before Karlsruhe main station , in order to access the tram network via the newly built ramp at Albtalbahnhof . The S 52 leaves the said route east of Maxau in order to then run as a tram through the Karlsruhe district of Knielingen and from there to the city center.
Bellheim station used to have a siding to a NATO tank farm and one to the Kardex office furniture factory , both of which have now been dismantled.
