The station is located in the network area of the Rhein-Neckar transport association (VRN) and belongs to tariff zone 900. Its address is Bahnhofstrasse 19 .
The station was opened on June 24, 1876 as the terminus of the Eistalbahn . In 1932 it was extended to Enkenbach . Passenger traffic came to a standstill in 1976 and was reactivated in 1994. The freight was set 2,001th The station building is a listed building .
location
The train station is located on the southern outskirts of Eisenberg (Pfalz) . To the north of it, the local Bahnhofstrasse runs parallel to the tracks . In the eastern area this turns north and becomes state road 395 . The latter becomes Hettenleidelheimer Strasse in a southerly direction and crosses under the railroad tracks to join Bundesstrasse 47 after a few 100 meters . To the south of the station there is an industrial area with Industriestraße , which after about one kilometer to the west crosses the railway tracks by means of a concrete bridge.
history
Planning, construction and opening (1838–1876)
As early as 1838, the Kirchheim Land Commissioner , to which the town of Eisenberg belonged, participated in the purchase of shares for the planned first Palatinate railway line from the Rheinschanze to Bexbach. Local industrial companies in particular promised economic advantages from this means of transport, although the closest train station on the line, which opened a decade later, was in Neustadt, more than 30 kilometers away. After further railway lines were opened in the following three decades in the Palatinate, which belonged to the Kingdom of Bavaria , the communities along the Eisbach valley felt that they were being sidelined in terms of traffic.
On August 7, 1864, the "Eistal Committee" was founded , which was headed by the Palatinate industrialist Carl von Gienanth . It tried to get a concession for a railway line that should branch off the Neustadt – Monsheim line opened between 1865 and 1873 in Grünstadt , along the Eisbach Eisenberg and from there either to Dreisen or via Alsenborn to Enkenbach. A corresponding request was sent to the Bavarian Ministry of Commerce on November 14, 1865. The rejection followed just two weeks later. The plans were not finalized until the late 1860s.
However, the location of the train station in Eisenberg was controversial. The municipalities of Hettenleidelheim and Wattenheim tried to have it built in one place so that the planned route can later be continued across their area. However, on October 15, 1873, the government decided to build it on the site that had been planned from the beginning.
On January 30, 1874, the Bavarian government finally gave the green light for the construction of the route in the form of a concession. The detailed project was released on August 29th. The route should run on the southern slope of the valley, whereby a later continuation beyond Eisenberg was taken into account accordingly.
Construction, opening and further development
Since the construction of the railway between Grünstadt and Eisenberg was much easier to accomplish than on the rest of the route, the decision was made in 1869 to let the railway line end in Eisenberg for the time being. The 9.7 kilometer long railway line between Grünstadt and Eisenberg was opened on June 24, 1876. The operator was the company of the Palatinate Northern Railways , which was responsible for all Palatinate routes north of the Ludwigsbahn .
Due to the fact that the station was initially also responsible for the neighboring municipality of Hettenleidelheim , it was officially called "Eisenberg-Hettenleidelheim" in its early days. When it was given its own rail connection in the form of a line branching off from the Eistalbahn in Ebertsheim in 1894 , it was renamed Eisenberg (Pfalz) .
In 1922 the station was incorporated into the newly established Ludwigshafen Reich Railway Directorate . On November 5, 1932, the line was extended to Enkenbach. In this context, the station received signals. In the course of the dissolution of the Ludwigshafen management on May 1, 1936, the station moved to the area of responsibility of the Mainz management.
Shutdown and reactivation
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, when the Mainz management was dissolved, the station came under the responsibility of its Karlsruhe counterpart.
On January 30, 1976, passenger traffic on the Eistalbahn was stopped. In 1986 the track systems in Eisenberg were also reduced. With the complete closure of the Eisenberg – Enkenbach section on December 31, 1988, the station received a buffer stop at its western end. On May 26, 1994, passenger transport between Grünstadt and Eisenberg was reactivated, which was also the first within Rhineland-Palatinate. A year later, the trains ran again to Ramsen and since 2001 on Sundays and public holidays to Eiswoog. However, also in 2001 the freight traffic was stopped. In 2002 a crossing point for passenger trains was created again in the station.
Buildings
The reception building erected in 1876 is a representative two-wing building with two and a half floors. In terms of architectural style, it can be assigned to late classicism. In 1885 it was expanded and is now a listed building . In the course of the resumption of passenger traffic between Grünstadt and Eisenberg, it was also restored.
The station also has several relics that are related to the former freight traffic, such as a goods shed, a loading ramp and a small station keeper's house.
traffic
passenger traffic
Passenger traffic only played a minor role in the first few decades. During this time, only three to four pairs of trains were used per day. Mixed trains were occasionally added. In 1912, only third- class passenger cars were used . In addition, due to the maximum permissible speed of the route of 20 kilometers per hour, the steam locomotives were preferably used that were of older construction. After the Ebertsheim – Hettenleidelheim railway branching off the Eistalbahn also had passenger traffic from 1895, the former pulled several trains between Ebertsheim and Eisenberg. Although it was planned to have a connecting train run in Ebertsheim to the branch that could not be used from Grünstadt, this was only partially implemented for cost reasons. This meant that rail travelers from Eisenberg had to go to Tiefenthal or Ebertsheim. This created resentment on the spot.
An improvement only occurred when the Eistalbahn was tied through to Enkenbach in 1932. From then on, Eisenberg station was approached by four pairs of passenger trains, some of which were tied through the connecting route to Kaiserslautern . In the post-war period there were up to six pairs of trains. From the beginning of the 1970s, traffic ceased on Sundays and public holidays, and in 1975 it was served on Saturdays. A year later, passenger traffic finally ended completely.
Since the station was reactivated in 1994, passenger trains have been running every hour. These are tied through beyond Grünstadt: As far as Freinsheim, they use the Palatinate Northern Railway and then the Freinsheim – Frankenthal railway line . On May 28, 1995 the traffic to Ramsen was reopened and since August 12, 2001 the trains have been serving the Eiswoog on Sundays and public holidays .

Freight transport
Due to the surrounding pits and the local industry, the station brought the Palatinate Railways high income. The great importance in freight traffic was reflected accordingly in the track systems. Initially, the Eisenberg train station was also responsible for the sound from the neighboring town of Hettenleidelheim. The complex transport to Eisenberg finally led to the construction of the branch line to Hettenleidelheim.
Nevertheless, the freight traffic remained very extensive. At the beginning of the 20th century, after the Ludwigshafen main train station and the St. Ingbert train station , it owned the third highest volume of goods of all train stations in the Palatinate . If the cargo transported in the first decades exclusively towards Ludwigshafen so perverted from 1932 freight trains from the rail yard Einsiedlerhof on the operation of the station. After the Second World War , the volume of goods dropped significantly. Most recently, the Eisenberger Klebsandwerke and Gienanth were the only two remaining goods customers.
