location

The station was located in the northeast of today's settlement area of ​​the local community Großkarlbach on Landesstrasse 455 , which in this area is identical to the local main road . Immediately to the north is a vineyard .

history

At the end of the 1880s , plans arose to build a narrow-gauge railway network in the Ludwigshafen catchment area . One of the purposes of these routes was to bring commuters from the surrounding areas to BASF . One route from Frankenthal was supposed to open up the communities west of the city. To the west of Dirmstein , however, the course was not certain from the start. One variant provided for a connection from Obersülzen , another, however, that of Großkarlbach. A connection to Grünstadt was envisaged. The Großkarlbach variant finally prevailed, so that the route was opened on July 1, 1891; the connection to Grünstadt no longer came about.

In 1922 the station was incorporated into the newly established Ludwigshafen Reich Railway Directorate . In the course of the dissolution of the Ludwigshafen management, he changed to the area of ​​responsibility of the Mainz management on April 1, 1937. In May 1939, the line was shut down and finally dismantled and the station was taken out of service.
