The Deidesheim Station - initially Deidesheim Forest - is the station of the Rhineland-Palatinate Country City Deidesheim . It belongs to the network area of ​​the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar (VRN), falls into station category 6 of the Deutsche Bahn AG (DB) and has two platform tracks . The station is on the Pfälzische Nordbahn Neustadt – Monsheim. It was opened on May 6, 1865, when the Neustadt – Dürkheim section went into operation. Initially, goods were also handled at Deidesheim train station, but freight traffic has now ceased. Today the station is used exclusively for passenger traffic.

location

The station is located on the northeastern edge of the town, the former reception building has the address “Am Bahnhof 1”. At the time of its commissioning in 1865, the station was still a good distance outside Deidesheim, which led to the fact that today's Bahnhofstrasse was expanded to make it easier to access the station.

history

Planning, construction, opening and the first decades

Station building around 1910

Some communities along the Haardt , including Dürkheim and Deidesheim, sought a connection to the railway network in the mid-19th century. In 1860 an eight-member committee was formed to work for the construction of a railway line; Ludwig Andreas Jordan from Deidesheim was among them. At first it was unclear whether the municipality of Ruppertsberg , located southeast of Deidesheim, should be bypassed to the west or to the east; the decision in favor of the first variant had an impact on the location of the Deidesheim train station. On August 28, 1862, the Bavarian King Maximilian II gave permission to set up a stock company to build and operate a railway line from Neustadt to Dürkheim.

The route was released on May 6, 1865. The opening train started its journey at 5:30 a.m. in Dürkheim and was greeted euphorically on arrival in Deidesheim. The Deidesheim train station, which is decorated with flags, was opened with gunfire. In addition to Mussbach - Gimmeldingen and Wachenheim , the Deidesheim-Forst station at that time was one of a total of three subway stations. In 1873, the extension of the line to Monsheim in Rhineland-Hesse was completed.

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 managed by the Neustadt Operations and Building Inspectorate and was part of the area of ​​responsibility of the Bad Dürkheim railway maintenance office . Efforts to tie through the narrow-gauge railway line Ludwigshafen – Meckenheim to Deidesheim, which opened in two stages in 1890 and 1911 , remained unsuccessful. In the following years the station name was changed to Deidesheim .

Time after the First World War

In 1922, the station was assigned to 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 gradual dissolution of the Reichsbahndirektion Ludwigshafen, the station changed to February 1st, 1937 in the area of ​​responsibility of the Mainz management and the operations office (RBA) Neustadt.

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. At the same time, the platform barriers were lifted. The station has been part of the Rhein-Neckar transport association (VRN) since 1990 . In the course of the abandonment of the Königsbach train station and the demolition of the Wachenheim train station to the stopping point, the Deidesheim train station between Mußbach and Bad Dürkheim is now the only option for train crossings.

traffic

passenger traffic

After the continuous opening of the line in 1873, the passenger trains drove for several decades to Marnheim on the Monsheim – Langmeil railway line . After the Second World War, the traffic in the northern section of the route shifted towards Ludwigshafen / Frankenthal, which is why the passenger trains in the north only reached Freinsheim. The route is now served every half hour; every second train travels via Freinsheim to Grünstadt . The “Elsass-Express” Mainz – Wissembourg excursion train, which is offered on the Northern Railway in the summer months, also stops in Deidesheim. It is the only connection beyond Grünstadt without changing trains.

Freight transport

In the first few years of operation there were no pure freight trains. The timetable from 1871 shows five mixed trains per day in each direction that stayed in Deidesheim for one minute. In the period that followed, the Deidesheimer Bahnhof developed into an important recipient of stable manure , which was used to cultivate the vines ; In terms of quantity, Deidesheim had the most important train station in the Palatinate in 1890 and the second most important train station in 1900 after the Ludwigshafen main station , which received fertilizer. Next to the train station there were larger storage facilities for the fertilizer.

Former reception building

From 1911 there was a cable car that connected the basalt quarry at the nearby Pechsteinkopf with the train station. The cable car has meanwhile been dismantled. On May 30, 1976, all stations outside of railway hubs were closed as independent goods tariff points, which also affected Deidesheim station. From then on, transfer trains served the station, which from that time on served as a satellite for Neustadt main station . Freight traffic has now been completely stopped.

Buildings and plants

The former station building , most recently owned by the city of Deidesheim, is no longer of any importance for rail operations and was sold to a private investor in 2013. In addition, the station had a signal box that was designed as a standard design. Its decommissioning took place on July 25, 2004.
