history

Marnheim station around 1900

Marnheim was connected to the rail network from Monsheim in 1872 , followed by the line to Langmeil in 1873 and the Donnersbergbahn to Alzey via Kirchheimbolanden in 1874 . The rapidly increasing volume of traffic made it necessary to build a new reception building after a short time, which was inaugurated in 1880.

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 Mainz management.

After the Pfrim Valley Viaduct was blown up on March 20, 1945, Marnheim lost its importance as a transfer point. 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. In 1971 the station came under the responsibility of its Frankfurt counterpart in the course of the dissolution of the Mainz management.

In 1983 passenger traffic on the Zellertal Railway was stopped. Since 2001, the route has been operated on Sunday excursions during the summer half-year. The reactivation of the line as part of the Rhineland-Palatinate cycle was originally planned for the end of 2014, the Monsheim – Göllheim-Dreisen section should therefore be served every hour, the Göllheim-Dreisen – Langmeil section every two hours. However, implementation will be delayed by several years.

Reception building

The reception building is a three-part historicist plastered building from 1880. The three-storey ridge central building is framed by two-storey eaves side wings. The building that characterizes the landscape was placed under monument protection in 1993.

traffic

passenger traffic

After the Pfälzische Nordbahn Neustadt – Monsheim was opened on July 20, 1873, direct trains ran from Marnheim to Neustadt. Up to the 1970s there was also a workers' train on the Ludwigshafen - Frankenthal - Freinsheim - Grünstadt - Monsheim - Marnheim route. In addition to the Zellertalbahn, this train used the Freinsheim – Frankenthal line as well as sections of the northern line and the Mainz – Ludwigshafen line .

Freight transport

Most recently, due to the fact that the directorate had been in place since 1971, goods traffic had taken place from Worms in the form of transfer trains and only went to Göllheim-Dreisen.
