history

Entrance building of the station in the opening year 1877

The later station was laid out as a junction of the Main-Neckar Railway to the Frankfurt-Offenbach Railway . The branch point went into operation on April 1, 1876. From here a corresponding curve led in the direction of Sachsenhausen and Offenbach . A year later, on May 15, 1877, a train station was set up here, with a simple reception building . From 1885 to 1888 - due to the construction of the new Frankfurt main freight station and the new Frankfurt Central station - the northern entrance to the station in Frankfurt (Main) -Louisa was adapted accordingly.

In Frankfurt (Main) -Louisa, passenger trains ran to and from Offenbach, which ensured the connection of travelers to the trains of the Main-Neckar Railway. This service was discontinued in 1895. Now all travelers on this connection had to go through the Central train station. As early as 1907, an older signal box for the turnouts and signals of the station, which was housed in a separate building, was replaced by one that was located at the dispatcher's workplace .

After the S-Bahn lines S3 and S4 between Frankfurt (Main) Stresemannallee and Darmstadt Hauptbahnhof went into operation in 1997, the rest of the passenger traffic in Frankfurt-Louisa was discontinued and the corresponding platforms were subsequently removed.

Origin of name

The name Frankfurt-Louisa refers to the Louisa parcel immediately to the west of the former train station and today's stop . The Frankfurt banker and diplomat Simon Moritz von Bethmann (1768–1828) acquired the property at the beginning of the 19th century and had an English landscape garden laid out there. Bethmann named the park after his wife after his marriage to the Dutchwoman Louise Friederike Boode in 1810. The Louisa Park remained in the possession of the Bethmann family until 1941. In 1954, the Louisa forest play park, which has existed to this day, was set up in the northeast corner of the site about 200 meters north of the stop .
