history
In the years 1859 and 1860 the Prussian and Nassau governments agreed on the construction of a connecting route between Ehrenbreitstein and Oberlahnstein . In Oberlahnstein there was a connection to the Nassauische Rheinbahn and Lahntalbahn, which were under construction . In addition, it was contractually stipulated that a railway bridge should be built between Koblenz and Ehrenbreitstein, and the Duchy of Nassau undertook to promote the construction of the Lahn Valley Railway.
The Neuwied - Niederlahnstein section, and with it the Ehrenbreitstein station, went into operation on October 27, 1869. He owned a railway post office and a railway maintenance office . On the same day, the railway line from Ehrenbreitstein station over the Pfaffendorfer bridge to the former Rheinischer Bahnhof was opened. The Rheinische Bahnhof was northwest of today's Löhr-Center in Fischelstrasse. However, this railway line only existed until 1899. Then the bridge was used by the Coblenz tram company . A connection to the left stretch of the Rhine and to Koblenz Central Station , which opened in 1902, has existed since 1879 via the Horchheim railway bridge .
