history

Development into a railway junction

The Grünstadt train station was opened on March 20, 1873, when traffic began on the northern section of the Palatinate Northern Railway between Grünstadt and Monsheim ; on July 20 of the same year operations began on the section to Dürkheim . In the following decades Grünstadt developed into an important Palatinate hub station . On June 24, 1876, it became the starting point of the Eistalbahn , which served to connect the industrial plants in Eisenberg . On September 15, 1900, the Worms – Offstein railway was tied through to Grünstadt . On March 1, 1903, the branch line to Altleiningen followed . From 1932 the Eistalbahn also ran to Enkenbach .

In 1922 the station was incorporated into the newly established Ludwigshafen Reich Railway Directorate . In the course of its dissolution on April 1, 1937, he moved to the area of ​​responsibility of the Mainz management. During this time he also built a locomotive station , which was a branch of the Neustadt depot . Shunting locomotives of the 56.20 and 91.3 series were stationed in it.

Deutsche Bundesbahn and Deutsche Bahn

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. On May 19, 1952, the Grünstadt locomotive station was redesigned as a branch and in 1963, at the same time as the Neustadt depot was closed as an independent location.

With effect from June 1, 1971, the station came under the jurisdiction of its Karlsruhe counterpart in the course of the dissolution of the Mainz management.

Between 1967 and 1984, with the exception of the line to Bad Dürkheim and Frankenthal via Freinsheim, all sections of the line going out of Grünstadt were shut down, and the station became the terminus . It regained its function as a railway junction in 1995 with the resumption of passenger traffic on the routes to Eisenberg and Monsheim as part of the Rhineland-Palatinate cycle .

At the same time as the reactivation of the Palatinate Northern Railway between Grünstadt and Monsheim and the Eistalbahn, the station was redesigned in a pilot project by the State of Rhineland-Palatinate to become the "Grünstadt environmental station". The key points of the concept were the new use of the reception building and the goods hall , the implementation of the platform underpass to connect the residential areas to the east, the construction of a bus station between the reception building and the first platform (platform 4) and of park-and-ride areas to the west and east of the Track tracks.

Buildings

Railway systems

When it was converted into an environmental station, a bus station was created in the area of ​​tracks 1 (on the house platform ) and 2, so that today only three of the former five continuous platform tracks remain. The two stub tracks on platforms 1 and 2 are also closed. In order to serve Südzucker AG on the Worms – Grünstadt railway line, part of the extensive freight track system was retained, and parts of the area were used to create a park-and-ride area.

building

The three-storey entrance building was built in 1873 in the style of historicism with neo-renaissance motifs. Above a ground floor made of red-brown sandstone - so-called Capuchin stone - two plastered floors rise, which are divided by bands of yellow sandstone. A single-storey wing made of red brick , which was built in 1934, connects to the north of the station building. To the south - connected by the roof over the access to the platform underpass - there is a residential building for railway employees and the former goods hall. All parts of the building, the cast-iron platform roofs and banisters of the underpass from 1900 and the two signal box buildings from 1898/99 on the north and south of the station are under monument protection . The two mechanical interlockings at the north and south of the station were replaced in 2004 by an electronic interlocking that is controlled from Neustadt an der Weinstrasse . They are preserved including essential parts of the equipment.

traffic

After the completion of the Northern Railway, direct trains ran via the Zellertal Railway to Marnheim . After the Eis Valley Railway branches off and initially only the freight serving railway Ebertsheim-Hettenleidelheim had passenger later, she moved the former between Ebertsheim and Eisenberg several trains, so that it through trains the relation Grünstadt- Hettenleidelheim was. For technical reasons, the trains on the Freinsheim – Frankenthal railway were tied through to Grünstadt from the 1980s onwards.

In addition, the Elsass Express runs between Mainz and Wissembourg in the summer months .
