Surname
Originally the station was called Hönheim . After the community - like all of Alsace - fell to France , it was named Hœnheim . He kept this name until the opening of tram line B of the Strasbourg tram in September 2002. However, so that the possibility of changing from train to tram is recognizable, the station was given the name Hœnheim Tram . The tram stop was named Hœnheim Gare .
location
The Hœnheim station is located in the industrial area of Hœnheim . Tram line B to Strasbourg city center ends or starts on the station forecourt at a very elaborately designed stop. There is also a large car park .
history
First connections to Hœnheim (1848–1874)
In 1848 the first horse-drawn buses and horse-drawn cabs were used in local public transport from Strasbourg . The first two standard-gauge lines of the horse-drawn railway company opened in 1878 in quick succession. The first led to the Kehler Bridge , the second to Hönheim , both of which were pulled by smaller steam locomotives. From 1895 the horse tram was electrified.
In 1852 two connecting roads to Hœnheim were opened, which lead just outside the village through the territory of Hoenheim. These were on the one hand the Canal de la Marne au Rhin , which connects Vitry-le-François with Strasbourg , and the railway line from Paris to Strasbourg . However, no train station for Hœnheim was planned here.
Construction and opening of the line from Wörth to Strasbourg (1874–1876)
From 1874 it was decided to build a railway line from Wörth via Lauterbourg and Rœschwoog to Strasbourg . This railway line was opened on July 24th and 25th, 1876 together with the line from Germersheim to Wörth as part of the main road Schifferstadt – Speyer – Germersheim – Wörth –Lauterburg (Alsace) –Strasbourg. The Maximiliansbahn-Gesellschaft was responsible for the Palatinate part of the route, and the Reichseisenbahnen in Alsace-Lorraine for the Alsatian part of the route . Hœnheim was given a train station on this line.
1875 one year before the complete completion of the line was the railway workshop of Bischheim on an area of 30 hectares, 10 hectares in Hœnheim opened. This workshop was on the railway line from Strasbourg to Lauterburg .
Development up to the Second World War (1876–1945)
On October 14, 1878, the first electric tram drove from Place Kléber in Strasbourg to Hœnheim.
In 1906 the Hausbergen marshalling yard was opened, which is located on the territory of several municipalities, including Hœnheim.
On May 27, August 11 and September 25, 1944, the Allies bombed Strasbourg and its suburbs, including the railway workshops in Bischheim and the Hausbergen marshalling yard.
Further development (since 1945)
On May 1, 1960, the tram made its very last trip from Hœnheim to Strasbourg. Then the tram line was replaced by a bus line.
In 1970 the construction of the A34 Metz – Strasbourg motorway was completed, which was later replaced by the A4, which connects Paris with Strasbourg. The motorway runs directly along the Hausbergen marshalling yard .
Due to a new transport policy , two new tram lines were built into the Strasbourg suburbs by the Strasbourg city council during the 1990s . One of these two lines was connected to the Strasbourg – Lauterburg railway at the Hœnheim Gare terminal in 2000 .
For the conception of the parking lot and the tram stop in Hœnheim-Nord, Zaha Hadid received the Mies van der Rohe Prize for European Architecture 2003.
