The Landesdenkmal station is a disused stop on the route of the Aartalbahn in the city of Wiesbaden . It is named after the " state monument ".

Geographical location

The stopping point was at the intersection of Biebricher Allee and the railway line and thus mediated the traffic of transfer passengers. Biebricher Allee is the main connection between Wiesbaden city center and the formerly independent municipality of Biebrich on the banks of the Rhine . When the line and the stop were opened, the Wiesbaden steam tram , operated by the Süddeutsche Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (SEG) , had been operating here since 1889 . The avenue is led with a bridge over the railway, which runs here in a cut. The " Henkell Castle " is located on the south side of the railway line, directly opposite the station building .

The Aartalbahn connected Wiesbaden main station and its predecessor stations on the one hand and Bad Schwalbach (then: Langenschwalbach) and Diez on the other. The current route was created when Wiesbaden Central Station, which opened in 1906, required a new route.

Reception building of the Landesdenkmal stop around 1910

history

On the occasion of this route relocation , Biebrich wanted a stop at the Aartalbahn for his residential areas of Adolfshöhe , where the state monument was later created, and Waldstraße . The Biebrich Beautification Association also submitted a petition for a train station on Adolfshöhe. At that time, however, this was still sparsely populated. The responsible Royal Prussian and Grand Ducal Hessian Railway Directorate in Mainz made the construction of a stop at this point - in contrast to the Waldstrasse station - dependent on the municipality lending the site to the railway free of charge and contributing financially to the construction.

The new route of the Aartalbahn in the Wiesbaden city area was put into operation on May 2, 1904, and the Landesdenkmal stop "for passenger, luggage, express goods and parcel traffic" opened on October 1, 1907 . Shortly afterwards it was also connected to the railway telegraph line . Around 10,000 people were processed in the first half of the winter.

On January 1, 1960, the breakpoint was abandoned. The platform remained in place for a while for special traffic. On September 25, 1983, passenger traffic on the Wiesbaden – Bad Schwalbach section was discontinued. The rail connection to the Henkell company branching off near the stop was reactivated in 2007.

Infrastructure

Reception building

Reception building today

The station building stands on a red sandstone base and is brightly plastered. Its double gable is covered with slate . Since the street-side entrance to the building was on the level of Biebricher Allee, a covered staircase led to the lower platform in the cut-out in the terrain that the railway line used. The reception building is a cultural monument due to the Hessian Monument Protection Act . Today it is used by a kindergarten of the Obermayr private school.

Other infrastructure

To the east of the stop, the line branches off towards Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof and Wiesbaden Ost . To the west was the Waldstrasse station.

As part of the considerations for reactivating the Aartalbahn , consideration is being given to creating a stop here again .
