The station Edenkoben is the station of the Rhineland-Palatinate town Edenkoben . It belongs to the station category 6 of the Deutsche Bahn AG (DB) and has two platform tracks . It is located in the network area of the Rhein-Neckar transport association (VRN) and belongs to tariff zones 152 and 172. However, as part of a transitional tariff agreed in 2002, cards of the Karlsruhe transport association (KVV) are also recognized.
It was opened as a through station on July 18, 1855 with the commissioning of the Palatinate Maximiliansbahn, which began in Neustadt , in the Neustadt - Landau section . The extension of the line from Landau to Wissembourg in Alsace took place on November 26th of the same year. It was always the most important stop on the way between Neustadt and Landau. After the original, architecturally significant station building was destroyed in World War II, a new one was put into operation in 1956.
location
The train station is located on the eastern edge of the city of Edenkoben. It has bicycle parking spaces, parking spaces and barrier-free access. It has now been modernized.
history
Planning and construction
After the Palatinate Ludwigsbahn from Ludwigshafen to Bexbach had been built in the neighboring Palatinate (Bavaria) between 1847 and 1849 , discussions arose as to whether a route on the mountains from Neustadt via Landau to Wissembourg in Alsace or a route on the Rhine via Speyer, Germersheim and Wörth is more urgent and desirable. The military in particular preferred the route that was to run on the edge of the Palatinate Forest and the Vosges . However, the political events of 1848 caused the project to come to a standstill for the time being.
In January 1850, a brochure was published in what was then Neustadt an der Haardt, in which a rail route via Landau to Wissembourg was propagated and in which, among other things, the greater density of settlements compared to the places directly on the Rhine was argued. The decision was finally made in 1852 in favor of the mountain line after reports and investigations had been initiated the previous year. On November 3 of the same year, the then Bavarian King Maximilian II gave the green light for the construction by approving the establishment of a stock corporation that tackled the project.
Initially, only Kirrweiler and Edesheim stations were to be built between Neustadt and Landau , which accordingly caused outrage in the city of Edenkoben . She argued the location of the abdicated Bavarian King Ludwig belonging Villa Ludwigshöhe to be and want to receive the former monarch appropriate:
"How should the city of Edenkoben hold the receptions of the king, who has built his summer residence on Edenkoben grounds, at a train station that is not on the Edenkoben ban?"
The protests were successful, so that Edenkoben was also considered as the location of a train station.
Further development
On July 18, 1855, the Neustadt – Landau section including the Edenkoben train station was opened, and the extension to Wissembourg followed on November 26 of that year. On November 24 of the following year, the entrance building was completed, which is architecturally based on the aforementioned Villa Ludwigshöhe. As early as September 17, 1857, the Landau Landau commissioner requested that the express trains stop in Edenkoben, but this was unsuccessful. 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 administered by the Neustadt Operations and Building Inspectorate and was the seat of a railway maintenance office. During the First World War , some of the express trains stopped in Edenkoben. Over the decades, several Bavarian kings frequented the train station to visit the Nahe Villa Ludwigshöhe, for example Ludwig III. 1913.
After Germany lost the war and the French military marched in, the Maximiliansbahn section south of Maikammer-Kirrweiler was closed to passenger traffic on December 1, 1918, but was reopened three days later. In 1922 the Edenkoben 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. After the dissolution of the Reichsbahndirektion Ludwigshafen, the Reichsbahndirektion Mainz took over responsibility on April 1, 1937; at that time he was subordinate to the works office (RBA) Landau.
On January 5, 1945, in the course of the fighting during the Second World War, a military train stationed in the station carrying ammunition and fuel was hit by an aerial bomb. The explosion was so big that it destroyed the station building.
After the Second World War
The remains of the destroyed reception building were removed in the post-war years. Its function was initially taken over by a temporary barrack. The German Federal Railroad (DB), which was responsible for rail operations from 1949, incorporated the station into the Mainz Federal Railroad Directorate , which allocated all of the railway lines within the newly created federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate . In 1956 a new reception building was put into operation, designed by the architect Heinz Falck.
In 1971, when the Mainz directorate was dissolved, the station came under the jurisdiction of its Karlsruhe counterpart. At the same time, the platform barriers were lifted. The station has been part of the Rhein-Neckar transport association (VRN) since 1996 . The KVV tariff has also been recognized since 2002.
At the turn of the millennium, ticket sales in the train station ceased. As early as the mid-1990s, plans were underway to renew the station area, which was finally implemented from April 2002. The station itself was to have higher platforms, the central platform was replaced by a side platform, a new underpass for pedestrians was built and the station area was redesigned. In September 2003 the work was completed. The railway siding fell victim to the underpass, making it a temporary stop for a few years.
Since the commissioning of the electronic signal box in Landau in 2010, the Edenkoben station has been remotely controlled from Landau; the dispatcher has been dispensable since then. At the same time, almost all the switches were removed.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 160 m | 55 cm | Trains in the direction of Landau / Winden / Wissembourg / Karlsruhe |
| 2 | 210 m | 55 cm | Trains in the direction of Neustadt an der Weinstrasse |

Freight transport
At the beginning of the 20th century, freight trains on the Neustadt – Landau and Neustadt – Weißenburg routes ran through the station. From the 1980s, transfer trains operated the station, which at that time was no longer an independent freight tariff point. It was operated from the Neustadt main station , which it served as a satellite.
Edenkoben is the only train station between Neustadt and Landau that is still served by freight traffic today. Until the end of the 1990s, wood was loaded at the station . In Edenkoben, ArcelorMittal receives a large part of the incoming goods by rail. In the course of the modernization of the station in the early 2000s, the siding, which started from the direction of Landau, had to be interrupted due to the newly created underpass. Therefore, in 2008 and 2009 a new connection was made on a separate route. However, this is only connected to the main line towards Neustadt. Since then, Edenkoben has had the operational status of a stop in the direction of Landau . This operation is carried out almost exclusively by DB Schenker .
Bus transport
There is a bus line that runs from Easter to the end of October on Sundays and public holidays from Edenkoben train station to the Rietburgbahn valley station . This bus line is coordinated with the departure times of the trains in Edenkoben.
