The Mainz Römisches Theater train station (formerly Mainz Süd , until 1904 called Mainz Neutor ) is the second largest train station in the Rhineland-Palatinate state capital, Mainz , after the Mainz main train station .
Geographical location
The citadel is located directly above the train station . At the time of construction, the Neutorkaserne was located directly below the station . Both structures had to be bypassed.
history
Emergence
The station was established in 1884 at the then new entrance to the also new main station. In his local traffic capacity, he replaced the old, the Rhine nearby station of the Hessian Ludwig Railway in Mainz . The Rhein-Main-Bahn to Frankfurt am Main and Darmstadt and the Mainz – Mannheim railway fork south-east of the station .
designation
The station had several names one after the other. It was opened in 1884 under the name Mainz-Neuthor . In 1903 the "h" was dropped. Now the station was called Mainz-Neutor . As early as 1904 it was named Mainz Süd . With the 2006/2007 timetable change in December 2006, it was renamed Mainz Römisches Theater . This designation refers to the immediately adjacent building of the same name . The platform of track 4 intersects the stage area. During the construction of the railway line, the ground monument was damaged and the stage building, which was more than a meter high, was torn down to the foundation walls.
Reception building and surroundings
Historical building
The historic station building was built north of the platforms in 1884 and largely demolished in 2006. It was a brick building based on plans by Philipp Johann Berdellé . The ground floor had arched portals that continued in the window arcade of the lower east extension. The main building had two upper floors with rectangular windows made of red sandstone that took on Renaissance shapes. After the construction of new commercial buildings at the train station, only the listed façades of the historic building facing the platform and the street have been preserved. It was integrated into the new building.
Platform area
The historic cast-iron columns with fluted shafts and composite capitals of the platform roofing in historicist style from 1861, which were probably brought here from the old Ludwigsbahnhof in Darmstadt and reused, are preserved today .
The 19th century retaining wall on the platform to track 4, which was built to protect the railway line from landslides, was initially partially removed to allow excavations and was demolished by the end of February 2013 so that travelers had a clear view of the theater.

The station has three platforms and four tracks. On the northern side there is an outside platform where travelers have access to passenger trains on platform 1. To the south there is a central platform where passenger trains stop on tracks 2 and 3. To the south of this central platform is another outer platform, where trains for travelers stop on platform 4. In the direction of Mainz Hauptbahnhof, the Mainz railway tunnel begins directly after the station and runs through the Eisgrub .
From here, three routes are served in a south-easterly direction:
- the Rhein-Main-Bahn (to Darmstadt and Aschaffenburg , with the regional train line RB 75)
- the Mainbahn (to Frankfurt am Main , Offenbach am Main and Hanau , with the S-Bahn line S8 and the Regional Express trains on line RE 2)
- the Mainz - Ludwigshafen - Mannheim line , with the S6 suburban railways belonging to the Rhein-Neckar S-Bahn network , which is different from the S 8 line.
In a westerly direction, the trains go to Mainz main station, then continue in the direction of Wiesbaden main station , Koblenz main station , Bingen (Rhein) main station and to Idar-Oberstein .
All platforms are barrier-free . After there was initially an elevator from the listed pedestrian underpass to a platform only to the platform on track 1, work began in early 2012 to install two elevators to the platforms on tracks 2 to 4. Since December 2012, the new lifts to platforms 2 to 4 usable for travelers.
