history

In the course of planning the route through the Queichtal , a local tobacco factory and a nearby mill served as arguments for a train station in Godramstein . The station was opened as a link in the Landau (Pfalz) - Annweiler am Trifels section on September 12, 1874. In addition to Landau Westbahnhof, Siebeldingen-Birkweiler and Albersweiler-St. Johann it was one of a total of four train stations on the way. 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 managed by the Landau Operations and Building Inspectorate and was part of the Albersweiler railway maintenance department. After Germany had lost the First World War and the French military had marched in, the Palatinate route network south of Maikammer-Kirrweiler was closed to passenger traffic on December 1, 1918 , but was reopened three days later.

In 1922, the station was assigned to the newly established Ludwigshafen Reich Railway Directorate . A year later employed at the station railway workers were the in the wake of France carried out until 1924 permanent public utility reported. Then they returned. In the course of the gradual dissolution of the Reichsbahndirektion Ludwigshafen, the station changed to the area of ​​responsibility of the Saarbrücken management and the operations office (RBA) Zweibrücken on May 1, 1936. The German Federal Railways was divided the station after the Second World War in the Bundesbahndirektion Mainz one, they all railway lines within the newly created state of Rhineland-Palatinate allotted. In 1971 the station came under the responsibility of its Karlsruhe counterpart in the course of the dissolution of the Mainz management. At the same time, the platform barriers were lifted.

With the railway reform on January 1, 1994, the station became the property of Deutsche Bahn . Since 1996 the station has been part of the Rhein-Neckar transport association (VRN); Since then, the tariff of the Karlsruhe Transport Association (KVV) has also been recognized.

Due to the abandonment of the Albersweiler train station and the dismantling of the Landau West and Siebeldingen-Birkweiler train stations to stops, Godramstein is the only remaining option for train crossings between Landau Central Station and Annweiler. Nevertheless, train crossings rarely take place. Since 2010 the station has been controlled by the ESTW Landau from Neustadt an der Weinstrasse ; the local dispatcher was no longer required .

Buildings

The station has an island platform . The goods shed of wood comes from the time of the Palatine railways and has no importance for railway operations. The station building was rebuilt from the 1930s . In 1942, a mechanical signal box of the standard design with a dispatcher was housed. The as Gf called interlocking was decommissioned in 2010 and now dismantled. The main platform is now separated from the main line by barriers, so that boarding is only possible via the island platform.

The station has been significantly dismantled in recent decades. The former freight tracks, one of which led to a neighboring gas storage facility, have also disappeared.

traffic

passenger traffic

The timetable from 1897 partly contained continuous local trains from Zweibrücken to Germersheim ; there were also those that were limited to the Landau – Zweibrücken section. A decade later, five local trains ran between Landau and Zweibrücken. In 1914, on Sundays and public holidays, a pair of trains ran via the Wieslauterbahn , which opened in 1911, to Bundenthal-Rumbach. The timetable from 1944 included local trains from Karlsruhe via Landau and Zweibrücken to Saarbrücken in some cases. In 1946 there was a curiosity on weekdays that started in Godramstein and went from Hinterweidenthal to the Wieslauterbahn to Bundenthal-Rumbach.

In the 1950s, the Landau – Zweibrücken railway, along with its eastern continuation to Germersheim, was recorded under the course book number 280. However, you usually had to change trains in Landau. The through trains from Germersheim to Zweibrücken also had a longer stay at Landau's main train station. The local trains that stopped at Godramstein station in the mid-1960s ran on the routes Landau – Zweibrücken and Landau – Pirmasens Hauptbahnhof. From 1994 to 199 the trains ran on the Neustadt – Pirmasens Hauptbahnhof route.

Freight transport

At the beginning of the 20th century, freight trains on the Kaiserslautern – Homburg – Landau – Germersheim and Saarbrücken – Landau – Germersheim routes served the station. On May 30, 1976, all stations outside of railway hubs were closed as independent freight tariff points, which also affected Godramstein station. From then on, transfer trains served the station, which from that time on served as a satellite for Landau's main station . The gas storage facility, which had a siding in the station, was served twice a week from Landau. The freight which was last performed only sporadically, was completely set 1997th Most recently, he was responsible for the Ramberg- based toy factory Theo Klein GmbH , among other things , as goods were no longer loaded in Albersweiler and Annweiler.
