The Frankfurt am Main Stadion station is the most important railway junction in the south of Frankfurt am Main and a station on the Rhein-Main S-Bahn . According to information from Deutsche Bahn AG, it is the busiest rail hub in Germany with 570 trains a day . The eponymous stadium is the Commerzbank-Arena .

history

The station was commissioned by the Hessian Ludwigsbahn in 1863 as part of the Mainbahn , the first section of which was opened that year between Bischofsheim and Goldstein . At that time it was called Goldstein , later: Frankfurt-Goldstein . In 1879 the Riedbahn was connected to Mannheim here . As a result, the station developed into an important railway junction. It was too far away from the eponymous village of Goldstein , remote in the Frankfurt city forest , to gain any importance in passenger traffic. On October 1, 1907, the station was taken out of the jurisdiction of the Mainz Railway Directorate and handed over to the Frankfurt Directorate.

In 1925, the Frankfurt Waldstadion was opened near the train station (today: Commerzbank-Arena ). The ancient Greek term stadium was too un-German for the National Socialists , and they also rejected the linguistic reference to humanism . After the seizure of power and the establishment of the Nazi dictatorship , the municipal stadium GmbH was initially renamed Sportfeld GmbH in 1935. In 1937 the Deutsche Reichsbahn followed and renamed the station in Frankfurt Sportfeld . The renaming took place with the timetable change in December 2005, in the run-up to the 2006 soccer world championship . The aim was to be fairer to the international public; for the Frankfurt city council it was also about distancing itself from the choice of words of the National Socialists.

In the course of the second construction stage of the Frankfurt airport loop , a new platform was built between 1976 and 1979 on the two newly built S-Bahn tracks on the north side of the station. The underpass was extended accordingly for the 210 m long and 96 cm high central platform with platforms 6 and 7. The new tracks could be driven at 120 km / h in the direction of the airport and only 100 km / h in the direction of Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof due to a narrow curve (445 m radius). With the commissioning of the Gateway Gardens station , this section went out of service at the end of 2019.

On September 16, 1979, a new relay interlocking (type SpDrS60 ) went into operation. On September 30, 1979, the scheduled S-Bahn service began on the new platform.

In October 2019, the station was securely separated. Since then, S-Bahn and long-distance railway tracks have been controlled by various sub-centers of electronic signal boxes.

Station building

The station building is a type construction of the Hessian Ludwig Railway from 1879. The two-storey station building made of yellow sandstone is centered on gabled risalits facing the track and street . The horizontal is emphasized by a broad cornice separating the floors. The building is now a cultural monument due to the Hessian Monument Protection Act .

Connections

The platforms

The Mainbahn from Mainz and the Frankfurt Airport S-Bahn from the west and the Riedbahn from Mannheim from the south converge in the Stadion hub in the Frankfurt city forest . Since the high-speed route Cologne – Rhine / Main from Cologne merges into the Riedbahn beforehand, its traffic also runs through the node. The station is connected to the north with four tracks over the Niederräder Mainbrücken to the main station and to the east with two tracks of the original route of the Mainbahn to the south station . About connecting curves and the branching point Forsthaus also is Main-Neckar-Bahn to Darmstadt involved.

S-Bahn station

The stadium station bears his name because, as an S-Bahn stop , it connects the Frankfurt stadium, the Commerzbank-Arena , about a kilometer away on foot . The station, which was considerably expanded for the 2006 World Cup, has two central, one outer and one special platform (stump track), which are connected by two underpasses. The traffic routes are dimensioned according to the rush of football matches.

Construction work

The first construction phase of the first expansion phase began in early 2005 and ended in April 2007. In June 2008 the electronic signal box was put into operation. In the course of the first expansion stage, the station was converted from a wedge station to a crossing station with the new track connection between Main and Riedbahn on the west side . Work on the second construction phase of the first expansion phase began in March 2008. In December 2014, new tracks 501 (freight train track) and 503 (swiveled Riedbahn track) went into operation. The entire first expansion stage with an investment volume of 78 million euros provides for a reorganization of the track systems with separation of the traffic flows.

In a second expansion stage, bottlenecks are to be eliminated and the introduction of the new Rhine / Main – Rhine / Neckar line enabled. To this end, a new route is to be built between the train station and the Gutleuthof junction (including a new bridge over the Main); the single-track Niederrad – Forsthaus link is to be underpassed without crossing . Long-distance traffic is to be concentrated on the south side of Frankfurt Central Station in future, regional traffic on the north side. In 2009, construction was scheduled to start in 2015. The Third Niederräder Bridge is also part of the 120 million euro project . In April 2013, the Darmstadt regional council initiated the consultation procedure for the second construction phase. 240 million euros are being invested in the expansion. The plan approval procedure is ongoing (status: 2018). Construction is expected to start around 2020 and commissioning in 2026/2027 Template: future / in 5 years.

In a third expansion stage, as part of the new Rhine / Main – Rhine / Neckar line , new tracks are to be built between Frankfurt Stadion and Zeppelinheim and traffic to and from Mannheim is to be consistently separated from traffic to and from the airport. In addition, a height-free connection between the Riedbahn and the route to Frankfurt Süd is to be created for freight traffic. The plan approval procedure is to begin in 2019 [obsolete] . Commissioning is to take place parallel to the second construction stage.

In the course of the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030 , a 1.0 km long, double-track overpass structure that can be driven at 120 km / h is being built for train traffic between Frankfurt Süd (route 3650) and the route to the airport regional train station (route 3683).
