The Ebertsheim breakpoint Station - temporarily Ebertsheim East - was a station of the Rhineland-Palatinate local church Ebertsheim , who from 1894 to 1987 as a personal and especially as a depot for the Eis Valley Railway Green City - Enkenbach branching railway Ebertsheim-Hettenleidelheim served. With the shutdown and the subsequent dismantling of the latter, it was abandoned and also dismantled.

location

Station area with a view to the west. The track to Hettenleidelheim was right next to that of the Eistalbahn.

The station was in the Eistal on the south-eastern outskirts of Ebertsheim, 600 meters east of the one that went into operation in 1876. The former station complex is spanned by a bridge over which the local Neugasse leads. There are several residential buildings in its immediate catchment area. A few hundred meters to the north is the district boundary to Quirnheim .

history

Opening of the train station

The Eisenberg (Palatinate) station , which had been the end point of the Eistalbahn railway from Grünstadt since 1876 , was important for the clay pits in neighboring Hettenleidelheim , along with the city's industrial operations . Since the transport caused problems due to the difficult topographical conditions, plans arose to provide this with a rail connection. Due to the gradient of the road from Eisenberg to Hettenleidelheim, a direct extension of the railway line or a siding starting at the end of the line was ruled out. The Ebertsheim station also appeared for unfavorable. In the course of the construction of the branch line that began in 1892, a branch station for a railway line leading to Hettenleidelheim was put into operation 600 meters east of the latter ; the opening took place in 1894 - initially as a purely industrial railway. On September 1, 1895, it was opened for passenger traffic. The previous Ebertsheim station functioned from then on exclusively as a freight station, while the new station called "Ebertsheim Halt" was intended for passenger transport. The name came from the fact that it was not given a reception building .

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 managed by the Neustadt Operations and Building Inspectorate and was part of the Grünstadt railway maintenance department . During the time of the Royal Bavarian State Railways , the station was run as station type 1, which meant that it was exclusively a “personal event. also luggage traffic ” .

In 1922 the station was incorporated into the newly established Ludwigshafen Reich Railway Directorate . The old station was later reactivated under the name Ebertsheim West , which is why the branch station was accordingly called Ebertsheim Ost , before the latter again took over the exclusive function for Ebertsheim passenger traffic from 1932. 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 works office (RBA) Neustadt.

The German Federal Railroad (DB), which was responsible for rail operations 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 . After the cessation of passenger traffic on the line to Hettenleidelheim on October 3, 1954, the station was henceforth a purely operating station, as the trains of the Eistalbahn stopped at the station built in 1876. 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 1987, freight traffic to Hettenleidelheim was also given up and the route was dismantled. The station was therefore also obsolete and accordingly dismantled.

investment

Former area to the east; Immediately to the east of the existing track was the island platform and the one that served the trains to Hettenleidelheim

The station was comparatively simply furnished and only served passenger traffic; from 1954 onwards he only had an operational function. It had two tracks with an island platform between them. The northern track served the trains of the Eistalbahn, the southern track for those to Hettenleidelheim. The northern side of the station was surrounded by telegraph poles for decades. After the line was dismantled, the platform and the southern station track were dismantled.

traffic

With the start of passenger traffic on the branch line to Hettenleidelheim in 1895, there were both trains on the Grünstadt – Eisenberg and Grünstadt – Hettenleidelheim routes. A connecting train served the section to the west of the station that would otherwise not have been “supplied”. However, these trains were often canceled. When the Eistalbahn was connected to Enkenbach in 1932, there were no connecting trips; from then on all trains ran from Grünstadt either as far as Enkenbach or as far as Hettenleidelheim, before passenger traffic on the latter route ended in 1954 and the station was degraded to a purely operating station.
