history

The line from Neustadt to Dürkheim, opened in 1865, was originally intended to be tied through to Frankenthal. The plans were later changed so that they should be extended to Monsheim via the community, then called Kirchheim an der Eck, and Grünstadt. Due to the hilly terrain, the construction of the route was very complex. After the northern section Monsheim – Grünstadt was opened on March 20, 1873, the gap between Dürkheim and Grünstadt with its Erpolzheim , Freinsheim and Kirchheim ad Eck stations was closed on July 20.

At the beginning of the 20th century, like all other stations in the Palatinate, the station received platform closures. During this time, the station was administered by the Neustadt Operations and Building Inspection and was part of the Freinsheim Railway Maintenance Department . In 1910 the name of the station was changed from "Kirchheim ad Eck" to "Kirchheim a Eck".

1923 employed at the station railway workers were the carried out in the course of France, to 1924 permanent director operation reported. Then they returned. 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; at that time he was subordinate to the works office (RBA) Neustadt.

The German Federal Railroad , which was responsible for rail operations from 1949, incorporated the station into the Mainz Federal Railroad Directorate , which allocated all of the railway lines within the newly created federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate . When the community was renamed “Kirchheim an der Weinstrasse” in 1952, the station was given its current name. In the course of the gradual dissolution of the Mainz directorate in the early 1970s, its counterpart in Karlsruhe was responsible for the train station with effect from June 1, 1971. At the same time, the platform barriers were lifted. Along with the abandonment of freight transport, the station was dismantled to the stop. In order to be able to drive every half hour on the Freinsheim – Grünstadt section, it is planned to expand Kirchheim into a train station again, in order to enable train crossings.

traffic

passenger traffic

After the continuous opening of the railway line in 1873, the passenger trains often drove beyond Monsheim to Marnheim on the Langmeil – Monsheim railway line in several decades . The station is served every hour by regional trains on the Neustadt – Grünstadt and Frankenthal – Eiswoog routes and thus served every half hour.

Freight transport

At the beginning of the 20th century, freight trains were used on the Neustadt – Monsheim route. From the 1980s, transfer trains operated the station, which at that time was no longer an independent freight tariff point. It was operated from the Grünstadt train station , which it served as a satellite. In the meantime, however, freight traffic has come to a standstill, and the station was then dismantled to the stop.
