The Bensheim train station is a long-distance train station on the Main-Neckar Railway from Frankfurt to Heidelberg . The Nibelungen Railway from Worms also ends in the station . The station is classified in category 4.
history
The Main-Neckar-Bahn started operations on June 22, 1846 in the section of the line on which Bensheim is located. The place also received its train station. In 1851 today's district of Auerbach - at that time still an independent municipality - got its own train station .
In 1869 the Hessische Ludwigsbahn (HLB) put the Nibelungenbahn - coming from Worms - into operation. Plans to extend the route in the Odenwald to Lindenfels have been discussed for decades and progressed to readiness for construction, but were never implemented.
In 1902 the Main-Neckar Railway - until then a condom line between Prussia , the Grand Duchy of Hesse and Baden - was closed. The Bensheim station came to the Prussian-Hessian Railway Community and was subordinate to the Royal Prussian and Grand-Ducal Hessian Railway Directorate in Mainz . In 1903 the station received an independent goods handling point . Between 1910 and 1911, the railway line in the city area was raised by building a dam . The Railway Directorate set up a separate construction department for this work from 1909 to 1911.
On October 9, 1922, the Heppenheim locomotive station was relocated to Bensheim station and closed on April 1, 1926.
In the mid-1990s , the Bensheim freight yard was closed; a few years later the dismantling of the tracks began.
Since not all train stations had been prepared accordingly, the S-Bahn on Bergstrasse could not be put into operation until December 2018. For this purpose, the Bensheim station was expanded to make it suitable for the S-Bahn by raising the platforms . The renovation of the station also included an extension of the platforms so that longer long-distance trains can stop in Bensheim. The entire station was made barrier-free with elevators and escalators . The renovation cost a total of 7.5 million euros.
Reception building
The station building was built in 1845 according to plans by Georg Moller in the classicism style on the city side (east of the railway line). The two-tone facade of the two-storey sandstone building with a basement was structured with nine window axes, with a central group of five. Around 1900, the street front was redesigned with two porches, symmetrically arranged on the sides and designed as octagonal pavilions, and further side extensions. The eaves of the flat hipped roof is formed by a revolving scrolls fries decorated.
The station building is one of the oldest completely preserved in Hessen . It is a cultural monument due to the Hessian Monument Protection Act .
