history

The Eisenberg station , which since 1876 was the end point of the coming of Green City Eis Valley Railway was, next to the city's industrial enterprises for the clay pits in Hettenleidelheim important. Since the transport caused problems due to the difficult topographical conditions, plans arose to provide this with a rail connection. Due to the gradient of the road from Eisenberg to Hettenleidelheim, a direct extension of the railway line or a siding starting at the end of the line was ruled out. In 1894, the Ebertsheim – Hettenleidelheim railway branching off the Eistal line was initially opened exclusively for freight traffic and opened for passenger traffic a year later.

In 1922 the station was incorporated into the newly established Ludwigshafen Reich Railway Directorate . In the course of the dissolution of the Ludwigshafener, he changed to the area of ​​responsibility of the Mainz directorate on April 1, 1937.

The German Federal Railroad (DB), which was responsible for rail operations from 1949, incorporated the station into the Mainz Federal Railway Directorate , which allocated all the railway lines within the newly created federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate . After the suspension of passenger traffic on the Ebertsheim – Hettenleidelheim line on October 3, 1954, the station was henceforth a pure freight yard. In 1987 freight traffic was also given up and the line was dismantled in 1990. In the last few years of its operation, the Hettenleidelheim station had mainly been used to park freight cars.

Reception building

The listed entrance building is a sandstone block building with two and a half floors, which stylistically can be assigned to late historicism . A one-story packing hall is attached directly to the main building. It was built in 1894 according to plans by the architects Carl Jakob von Laval and Hermann Kaerner .

traffic

passenger traffic

Passenger traffic always played a subordinate role. In the first few decades there were both direct trains to Grünstadt and those that only ran between Hettenleidelheim and Ebertsheim with a connection to the Grünstadt – Eisenberg journeys .

Freight transport

The clay pits on the municipality's territory have always been the station's most important goods customers. For example, Chamotte-Industrie Hagenburger Schwalb AG owned a siding that protruded into its factory premises. In addition, in the 1920s, when the local sports club built its own club hall, the relevant building materials and equipment were delivered by train and unloaded at the station.
