The Landstuhl railway station is the station of the Rhineland-Palatinate town of Landstuhl . It belongs to the station category 3 of the Deutsche Bahn AG (DB) and has three platform tracks . The station is in the network area of ​​the Rhein-Neckar transport association (VRN) and belongs to tariff zone 844. Its address is Bahnstrasse 1 .

It is located on the Mannheim – Saarbrücken railway , which essentially emerged from the Palatinate Ludwigshafen – Bexbach railway . It was opened on July 1, 1848, when the Ludwigsbahn section Kaiserslautern - Homburg went into operation. With the opening of the Landstuhl – Kusel railway on September 20, 1868, the station finally became a separation station . Since December 2006 it has also served as a stop on the S1 line of the RheinNeckar S-Bahn .

The station is currently under renovation and construction work should be completed by spring 2019.

location

Local situation

The train station is located on the north-western outskirts of Landstuhl . Bahnstrasse runs parallel to the tracks in the south . An industrial area extends to the north . The western part of the station is bridged by the state road 363.

Railway lines

The Mannheim – Saarbrücken railway runs straight to the station in an east-west direction. Immediately afterwards it turns slightly to the west-southwest. The Landstuhl – Kusel railway line bends in a wide curve in the west, almost at right angles to the north.

history

Development of the station and first years (1830–1860)

The original plan was to put a north-south rail line into operation within what was then the Rhine Palatinate . However, it was agreed to first build a main line in an east-west direction, which should mainly serve to transport coal from the Saar region to the Rhine . The route was to run from Bexbach in the west via Landstuhl and Kaiserslautern to the Rheinschanze . The building draft of 1839 already provided for a train station for Sickingenstadt . For the purchase of land within the city 730 guilders per acre had to be paid.

Due to the difficult topography of the Palatinate Forest , which had to be crossed between Neustadt and Kaiserslautern, the “ Palatinate Ludwig Railway” , known as the “ Palatinate Ludwig Railway”, could not be built continuously from east to west. After the line between Neustadt and Ludwigshafen had already been released in 1847, the section between Kaiserslautern and Homburg - including the Landstuhl train station - was put into operation on July 1, 1848 ; Train journeys had already taken place as a provisional measure from 10 to 15 July 1848. At the end of the year the section was extended to Frankenstein ; in June of the following year it was possible to drive to Bexbach in the west. On August 25, 1849, the entire length of the Ludwig Railway was finally open.

Planning, construction and opening of the Landstuhl – Kusel line (1860–1870)

Title page of the memorandum on the construction of the line in 1863

According to a memorandum published in Kusel in 1861, a route branching off from the Palatinate Ludwigsbahn in Landstuhl should lead along Mohrbach , Glan and Kuselbach to Kusel .

The first freight train ran on August 28, 1868. On September 20, 1868, the Landstuhl – Kusel line was officially opened. On this day, a special train also ran from Ludwigshafen to Kusel, whose passengers included officials on the Palatinate railway lines, among others, the then Bavarian State Minister for Trade and Public Works, Gustav von Schlör . Two days later the route was opened for regular traffic. As a result, Landstuhl station became the seventh railway junction within the Palatinate after Schifferstadt (1847), Ludwigshafen (1853), Neustadt an der Haardt (1855), Homburg (1857), Winden (1864) and Schwarzenacker (1866).

Further development

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

Since the main line from Mannheim to Saarbrücken, which emerged from the Ludwigsbahn, has always been of great importance for long-distance traffic , it was gradually electrified from 1960 onwards. On March 8, 1960, it was possible to drive electrically on the Saarbrücken – Homburg section. The Homburg – Kaiserslautern section - including the Landstuhl train station - followed on May 18, 1961, and from March 12, 1964, the entire length of the route was electrically accessible.

In the course of the gradual dissolution of the Mainz management in the early 1970s, its counterpart in Saarbrücken was again responsible for the train station.

Recent past (since 1994)

In 2006, in the course of the integration of the Mannheim – Saarbrücken railway line into the network of the RheinNeckar S-Bahn, the platforms were upgraded to accommodate the disabled . The extension of the S-Bahn line S1, which has ended in Kaiserslautern Hbf since 2003, to Homburg (Saar) Hbf took place on December 10, 2006 at the time of the 2006/2007 timetable change, and the station has since been integrated into the system.

Buildings

Reception building

The station building was opened at the end of April 1846, two years before the station opened. Like many - in the meantime replaced - station buildings on what was then the Ludwigsbahn, it has an Italian style.

Platforms

The platforms were modernized along part of their length as part of the integration of the station into the network of the RheinNeckar S-Bahn. The entrance height of 76 centimeters is used by the S-Bahn trains, the 55 centimeter by diesel railcars to and from Kusel .

Platforms
track Usable length Platform height Current usage
1 229 m 76 cm Trains in the direction of Kaiserslautern / Mannheim / Heidelberg / Osterburken
2 190 m 76 cm Trains in the direction of Homburg / Saarbrücken / Trier / Koblenz
3 191 m 55 cm Trains to and from Kusel and Kaiserslautern (RB 67)

During the renovation work at the Landstuhl train station, track 4 will be reactivated.

traffic

passenger traffic

The first timetable shows three courses between Homburg and Kaiserslautern. Half a year later they ran through to Frankenstein. In 1884 there were continuous connections on the Neunkirchen – Homburg – Landstuhl – Kaiserslautern – Schifferstadt – Ludwigshafen – Worms route .

In 1868 operations between Landstuhl and Kusel began with two mixed and two pure passenger trains. A train commuted four times between Landstuhl and Kusel. In 1905, 89,119 tickets were sold at the station. At least ten pairs of trains have been running between Landstuhl and Kusel since the 1950s. From the beginning of the 1950s, a so-called “city express train” ran between Kusel and Heidelberg in the mornings . As early as 1954 it was downgraded to an express train . In 1979 he was hired.

Since 2000, from April to October, a pair of trains has been running between Kusel and Neustadt on Sundays and public holidays with the Glantal Express . Between Landstuhl and Neustadt it only stops in Kaiserslautern, Weidenthal and Lambrecht (Palatinate) .

The trains on the line to Kusel are mostly tied through to Kaiserslautern, only a few end or start in Landstuhl. Since December 2006, the S1 line has been running every hour from Homburg via Kaiserslautern, Neustadt, Mannheim , Heidelberg, Eberbach and Mosbach to Osterburken . Intercity no longer stops in Landstuhl, these have been replaced by the Regional Express (Süwex), this train runs every hour between Koblenz and Mannheim .

Freight transport

In the first decades the station had extensive freight traffic . This was reflected accordingly in the track systems. The north and south-east of the station area were used to load coal . There was a long loading ramp to the southwest of today's reception building .

In 1905 a total of 83,533.23 tons of goods were sent or received at the station. Shortly after the exit of the line to Kusel, there was a siding of the municipal Raiffeisen camp until the 1990s, which had a large building. In the meantime, local freight traffic has lost its importance.
