The station Lustadt was the common station of the communities Niederlustadt and Oberlustadt that in the course of the Rhineland-Palatinate administrative reform on June 7, 1969 on the local community Lustadt were merged. It was opened on May 16, 1872 as a through station on the Germersheim – Landau railway line. Passenger traffic on this was stopped on May 16, 1984, freight traffic followed on December 31, 1991. The line has been closed since 1998. In 2006 a draisine operation based on the model of the Glantalbahn was set up on it. The Lustadt draisine station (initially called Lustadt-Mitte ) has been located at the location of the train station . Its former reception building is also a listed building .

location

The station was on the southern edge of the Niederlustadt district . The local Bahnhofstrasse is located in the north parallel to the railway line , which runs in this area from east-northeast to west-southwest . To the south of it are agricultural areas.

history

Planning, construction and opening

Initial efforts for a railway line between Landau and Germersheim go back to around 1860. The Palatinate Maximiliansbahn , opened in 1855, was to be linked to the Baden railway network, which was primarily intended to transport coal. These plans competed with the planned Winden – Karlsruhe railway line , which finally prevailed and opened in 1864.

When the Schifferstadt – Speyer branch line was extended to Germersheim in 1864 , plans were in progress to establish a strategic cross-connection between the fortresses of Germersheim and Landau . A total of four variants were investigated: two of them should run north of the Queich , one of them through Ober- and Niederlustadt.

The administration of the Palatinate Maximiliansbahn-Gesellschaft , which was intended to operate the route, favored a route via Knöringen to Lingenfeld . Above all, residents from Ober- and Niederlustadt as well as Zeiskam vehemently opposed such a line. A meeting was held especially for this on October 9, 1869 in the Niederlustadt parish hall. A government rescript dated May 20, 1870 provided for the variant ultimately implemented via Westheim , Ober- and Niederlustadt and Zeiskam.

Since the line was to serve as part of a mainline serving coal traffic in the medium term, the joint station for the towns of Ober- and Niederlustadt was built away from the settlement area. On May 16, 1872, the station, which was given the name "Lustadt" in order to treat both communities equally, was opened as part of the Germersheim – Landau railway line.

Further development

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 managed by the Landau Operations and Building Inspectorate and belonged to the Zeiskam railway maintenance office . After Germany had lost the First World War and the French military had marched in, the Palatinate route network south of Maikammer-Kirrweiler was closed to passenger traffic on December 1, 1918, but was reopened three days later. In 1922 the line and the Lustadt station were assigned to the newly established Ludwigshafen Reich Railway Directorate . A year later employed at the station railway workers were the carried out in the course of France, to 1924 permanent director operation reported. Then they returned. After the dissolution of the Reichsbahndirektion Ludwigshafen, the Reichsbahndirektion Mainz took over responsibility on April 1, 1937; At that time he was subordinate to the Works Office (RBA) and the Landau railway maintenance office.

The German Federal Railways was divided the station after the Second World War in the Bundesbahndirektion Mainz one, they all railway lines within the newly created state of Rhineland-Palatinate allotted. After the war, the route lost its former national importance. The demolition of the Germersheim Rhine bridge had made a decisive contribution to this . In addition, the second track was dismantled due to reparations from France . Nevertheless, Lustadt remained a crossing station . In 1971 the station came under the responsibility of its Karlsruhe counterpart in the course of the dissolution of the Mainz management. At the same time, the platform barriers were lifted.

In the following years the demand in passenger transport decreased. He was therefore hired on June 1, 1984. Nevertheless, a dispatcher was still active in the station . At the end of 1991, freight traffic on the route also came to a standstill. This was followed by the dismantling of the track on the former house platform .

In 2006 a trolley service was set up on the route between Bornheim and Lingenfeld. As a result, a draisine station with the name "Lustadt-Mitte" was built at the former train station. The addition of middle was based on the fact that another station called Lustadt-West was built in the west of Lustadt . With the abandonment of the latter, it was renamed Lustadt .

Reception building

The address of the former reception building is Bahnhofstrasse 31/33 . In terms of design, it is almost identical to that of Westheim . It is a type construction of the Palatinate Railways , which was built around 1870. It was used for the first time on the Landstuhl – Kusel railway line, which was opened in 1868, and was particularly widespread in the 1870s along Palatinate train stations. The two-story main wing stands at the gable to the tracks. As an extension there is also a former goods shed , also with two floors, which includes a residential floor.

passenger traffic

At times, passenger trains on the Germersheim – Zweibrücken route ran. Most recently, the importance of passenger transport was essentially limited to school transport.

Freight transport

The once extensive freight traffic on site was reflected accordingly in the track systems. It was mainly carried by the loading of agricultural products. From the 1980s, transfer trains operated the station, which at that time was no longer an independent freight tariff point. Its service took place from the Germersheim train station , which it served as a satellite.
