The Frankfurt (Oder) -Rosengarten station is located at kilometer 75.0 on the Lower Silesian-Märkische Railway . The station has a central platform that can be reached via a road bridge. It is served hourly by trains on the RE 1 regional express line.

Location and name

The station is in the Rosengarten district of the independent city of Frankfurt (Oder) in the west of the city. It was built as a breakpoint in 1843 and has been an important train station for the villages west of Frankfurt (Oder) ever since. The station is located in a deep cut in the terrain right next to the main street in Rosengarten, which leads over a bridge from which the central platform of the station can be reached by stairs. By 2010, a railway line began at the station that led to Frankfurt's Seefichten industrial park, which is northwest of the city center. The route has not been used since 1990 and was dismantled in 2010.

The federal motorway 12 runs parallel to the railway in the area of the station between Berlin and Warsaw. The 112 federal road runs diagonally to the train station between Lebus and Eisenhüttenstadt . The Frankfurt districts of Markendorf and Boossen can be reached via them .

history

For the railway line from Berlin to Frankfurt (Oder) built in 1841/42, the area around the village of Rosengarten was the topographically most difficult section. From the west, the route rose from the Spree valley , reached its highest point at Rosengarten and then quickly fell off towards the Oder . The original route design by August Crelle had to be modified by the chief construction manager of the route, Ch. Fr. Zimpel , in the Rosengarten area so that the ridge could be crossed at a lower point. Originally, the route was supposed to run north of the village, instead a southern route was implemented.

At Rosengarten, the route was laid in an 11-meter-deep indentation, but there was still a 41-meter gradient to overcome to the Frankfurt train station. The line went into operation on October 23, 1842. The passenger trains between Berlin and Frankfurt did not stop in Rosengarten. However, in 1843 the timetable indicated that freight trains, which also carried people, were in Rosengarten. Later Rosengarten became a regular stopping point.

At the beginning of the 20th century, plans arose to build a large marshalling yard in Frankfurt. Different variants were examined. A location on the main route from Berlin between Rosengarten and Frankfurt was ruled out because of the steep gradient. Finally, the marshalling yard was built on the route from Eberswalde . So that the station could also be reached directly from Berlin, a connecting line from Rosengarten was built, which went into operation in 1914. At the same time, the incline at Rosengarten was deepened by eight meters to further reduce the gradient of the route. As a result, there was a series of dam slides, the strongest of which happened on December 27, 1925. The actual line tracks were closed for several months, and a temporary track was built on the northern slope.

In 1914, as part of the renovation work, the connecting line from Rosengarten to the marshalling yard of the Rosengarten freight yard went into operation. There was a connection to an artillery depot here until 1922. In 1917 the previous Rosengarten stop was replaced by a train station further to the east.

Investments

The track indicator.

The passenger station lies in a deep cut. In addition to the two through tracks on the line to the Frankfurt (Oder) passenger station, it had two outer tracks that led to the Rosengarten freight yard and on to the Frankfurt (Oder) marshalling yard. These tracks are now out of service. There is a central platform between the two through tracks, to which a staircase leads from the road bridge on the west side of the platforms. There used to be a separate pedestrian bridge from the station building to the north of the tracks on the slope to the platform. The station building is no longer used for railway purposes and was sold in October 2013.

The two tracks from the passenger station to the Rosengarten freight station, 1.7 kilometers away, ran parallel, with the southern track extending from the direct route to Frankfurt and running under it. Both tracks were connected in the Rosengarten freight yard, then one track continued to the northern and the other to the southern part of the Frankfurt (Oder) marshalling yard. On the north-west side of the freight yard, there were originally tracks for local freight traffic on a loading street, which had already been dismantled in the early 1960s.

Transport links

From Rosengarten there are hourly direct connections in the direction of Berlin Central Station / Potsdam Central Station / Magdeburg Central Station and Frankfurt (Oder) Station , in rush hour traffic to Eisenhüttenstadt. According to reports in the Märkische Oderzeitung , many commuters (especially to Berlin) from Rosengarten and the surrounding area use the train station, as it is much easier to get to than the Frankfurt (Oder) train station. The RE 1 runs every half hour in both directions, but only stops every hour in Rosengarten. From 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. it runs every hour with a stop in Rosengarten.
