The Dhronecken station was a station in Dhronecken on the Hunsrückquerbahn between Hermeskeil and Morbach .
history
The station was opened on October 1, 1903 with the last section of the Hunsrückquerbahn between Hermeskeil and Thalfang . The first freight train passed the station exactly one month later on November 11, 1903. At the same time, the elevated tank was built not far from the station.
The station remained unchanged until 1953. Until 1955 the window of the counter was in a door.
From 1962 until it was closed in 1976, the station was only a stopping point.
During the Nazi dictatorship , cattle cars with a yellow star, in which Jews were deported , passed the train station. During the Second World War , freight trains with cannons , guns and soldiers also drove through Dhronecken. At that time, rockets of the types V1 and V2 were also unloaded and transported on to the Erbeskopf in order to be shot down against England from there . During the war there were also a second one in case the water tower in the valley should be shot at. However, that replacement container no longer exists today.
From the 1930s the station director Johann Paulus from Malborn lived in the station. When the station was auctioned in the 1970s, his grandchildren were able to buy the house and set up a holiday home there, among other things. The extensive renovation cost around 280,000 euros.
Architecture and the area surrounding the station
The station building was built at the beginning of the 20th century at the same time as it was opened. The facility consists of three simultaneously constructed and uniformly designed buildings. In the west is the reception building with a half-timbered goods shed, which is a type building with ashlar masonry and plastered surfaces, large segmented arched windows in the ground floor and simple rectangular openings on the upper floor. Structurally similar structures can often be found in the Hunsrück and the Eifel , e.g. B. in Niederhausen (Nahe) . To the east of the reception building are two small outbuildings with basically similar facade designs. Parts of the building were used as the station board's apartment . The entire station complex is now a listed building.
There is also a listed water tower in the vicinity of the station , which served as the “Royal Water Tower” as a water reservoir for steam locomotives . The tower, built around 1900 and 25 m high, fulfilled its function until 1970 and is considered a rarity in this form. The associated pump house is now used as a riding stables and holiday home. The ambience of the equestrian center focuses on the Wild West and typical country feeling. Gunter Gabriel and Truck Stop have already been engaged at the equestrian festivals held here .
Since the renovation, the lamp house has been in operation in the middle of the three station buildings.
