Surname
Unlike the eponymous city, the station is written without a hyphen. This is explained by the Prussian spelling regulation of 1910. According to it, the spelling of the place and administrative district names with a distinctive prefix such as old, new, large, small, Bergisch, German etc. - if they are not already written in one word - without a hyphen, but for those that are made up of two or more stem names, such as Schleswig-Holstein , Beeskow-Storkow , etc., set with a hyphen as the officially correct one. This regulation did not apply in the Grand Duchy of Hesse, but it did apply to the facilities of the Prussian-Hessian Railway Community to which the station belonged.
history
The station is located on the section between the Mainspitze and Darmstadt of the Rhein-Main-Bahn, which was opened in 1858 by the Hessian Ludwigsbahn . In Groß-Gerau, a wooden barrack initially served as a train station. The new station building was opened in 1868 . In 1900 the station was connected to the railway telephone network and received the number 12 of the Darmstadt telephone office, in 1905 it was connected to the Groß Gerau-Dornberg station by telephone .
During the First World War , a voluntary medical team and ladies from the Alice Women's Association operated a Red Cross station in the station building. During the period of operation (1923/1925) the Groß Gerau station belonged to the Regiebahn operated by the French occupying forces. When the situation between the German Reich and the occupying power eased in the course of 1924, the station was one of the few stations in the occupied area where the Deutsche Reichsbahn was allowed to open a ticket office and sell connecting tickets there for travelers traveling to the unoccupied area .
The associated locomotive station was closed on January 1, 1929.
In 1944 the station building was destroyed in air raids and rebuilt in 1957. The reception building is now a recognized cultural monument according to the Hessian Monument Protection Act .
Infrastructure
The station has three platform tracks, which can be reached via the house platform on track 1 and an island platform for tracks 2 and 4. To the east there are additional freight tracks and a siding . In the west there is a connection to the former Südzucker site , where extensive track systems were in operation. Rail traffic has been controlled with the help of a relay interlocking since 1970 .
