The Frankfurt-Oberrad train station was in the district of the same name in Frankfurt am Main .

history

The station was built as the only intermediate station of the Frankfurt-Offenbacher local railway in 1848 between its endpoints Frankfurt Lokalbahnhof and Offenbach Lokalbahnhof. The train station was relatively far away from the then village of Oberrad, in land that is still used for agriculture today.

When the Frankfurt-Bebra railway extended its route from Hanau to Frankfurt in 1873 , its route in the Offenbach and Frankfurt area ran partially parallel to the Frankfurt-Offenbach local railway and it also used its Frankfurt-Oberrad station.

In the period that followed, traffic on the new long-distance line outweighed local traffic between Frankfurt and Offenbach by far. But it was not until 1955 that the local railway was completely abandoned. A year later, their structures were completely demolished - only the station building , which was still used for passenger traffic on the Frankfurt – Göttingen railway line , was spared . It is the only remaining structural evidence of this railway connection between Frankfurt and Offenbach and therefore a cultural monument according to the Hessian Monument Protection Act . The station building was built in 1862 and the roof was redesigned in 1924.

Because of the remote location of the station from the development of Oberrad, the traffic volume of the station was minimal - from Oberrad it was more convenient to use the tram to Offenbach or downtown Frankfurt. Therefore, the traffic stops there and the station abandoned in 1987.

After the station was shut down, the Frankfurter Schlaraffen Association initially rented the station as a clubhouse and acquired the station in the mid-1990s when the railway put it up for sale.

Planning

During construction of the S-Bahn -distance Frankfurt slaughterhouse Hanau , which uses the former route of the Frankfurt-Offenbach Local Railway in the area of the railway station Frankfurt-Oberrad, the tracks were laid at the level of the former station so that an area is kept free for a central platform . However, there are no concrete plans for the construction of a new stop.
