The Erpolzheim train station is the stopping point for the Rhineland-Palatinate community of Erpolzheim . It belongs to the station category 6 of the Deutsche Bahn AG (DB) and has a platform track . The station is in the network area of ​​the Rhein-Neckar transport association (VRN) and belongs to tariff zone 82. Its address is Bahnhofstrasse 1 .

It was opened on July 20, 1873 with the completion of the Palatinate Northern Railway Neustadt – Monsheim. Now it's just a stopping point. Its reception building is a listed building.

location

The stop is on the western outskirts of the municipality in the immediate vicinity of vineyards. Shortly before him, the local Bahnhofstrasse bends to the north, while its western continuation as a dirt road crosses the railroad tracks. Farther south of it, the railway line that comes from the north-northwest in the area of ​​the station crosses the road to Ungstein .

history

The line from Neustadt to Dürkheim, opened in 1865, was originally intended to be tied through to Frankenthal. The plans were later changed so that they should be extended via Erpolzheim and Grünstadt to Monsheim. Due to the hilly terrain, the construction of the route was very complex. After the northern section Monsheim – Grünstadt was opened on March 20, 1873, the gap between Dürkheim and Grünstadt with its Erpolzheim, Freinsheim and Kirchheim ad Eck stations was closed on July 20.

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 Inspection and was part of the Freinsheim Railway Maintenance Department . In 1922 the station was incorporated into 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 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 operations office (RBA) Neustadt and the railway maintenance office in Bad Dürkheim.

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 . 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 the following years, the station was dismantled to the halt. At the same time, the platform barriers were lifted. At the end of the 1980s, the DB considered shutting down the Bad Dürkheim – Freinsheim section including the Erpolzheim station, but this became obsolete in 1989 when the Bad Dürkheim-Trift stop between Bad Dürkheim and Erpolzheim was put into operation. The station has been part of the Rhein-Neckar transport association (VRN) since 1990 .

On June 7, 2003, the modernized stop with a raised platform and the redesigned area was opened to traffic.

traffic

passenger traffic

After the continuous opening of the railway line in 1873, passenger trains often drove beyond Monsheim to Marnheim on the Langmeil – Monsheim railway line over the course of several decades . The station is served hourly by regional trains on the Neustadt – Grünstadt routes. In the north, however, some only get to Freinsheim, which is due to a shift in traffic towards Ludwigshafen / Frankenthal that took place after the Second World War.

Freight transport

At the beginning of the 20th century, freight trains were used on the Neustadt – Monsheim route. As early as the 1980s, there was no longer any local freight traffic.
