The Hinzerath train station is a train station in Morbach in the Hinzerath district in Rhineland-Palatinate . It is the highest station on the Hunsrückquerbahn between Hermeskeil and Langenlonsheim .
history
The station was built on October 15, 1902 with the construction of the section from Kirchberg (Hunsrück) to Morbach.
After the destruction of the Hoxeler Viaduct and other viaducts in the Second World War , the station could no longer be approached. From the 1950s, however, the route was again passable.
On May 29, 1976, passenger traffic between Simmern and Hermeskeil was stopped.
In 2008 a rail bus was loaded in Hinzerath for test drives with a view to reactivating it as a museum railway. From 2009 to 2014 a museum train ran through the station.
Station building and station area
The listed station building dates from the beginning of the 20th century. It is designed as a type building with quarry stone, slate and half-timbered surfaces. There are large segmental arched windows on the ground floor. Today (2017) the building is privately owned. The building is a historical monument.
In the mid-1930s, the railway facilities in Hinzerath were expanded considerably. Among other things, a 700 m long crossing track that is still recognizable today (2017) was built. Presumably, all station tracks were originally long, but most of them were shortened after the Second World War. There were probably even four tracks in the station at the time.
The lever bench in the train station had 35 lever positions. In 1954 the lever bench was shortened to seven parts. The signal box came from the Jüdel company . The station had a ramp and a loading street.
In the station there was a barrier system that was manned by a gatekeeper until passenger traffic ceased.
In September 1969, the Mettler siding was installed at the western end of the station, which in the following 25 years always ensured good traffic in the station. It existed until the Mettler company closed in the mid-1990s.
In June 1985 some points were dismantled. In 1989 it was finally dismantled to the stop. This state has remained unchanged until today (2017).
