The Monsheim train station is the station of the local church Monsheim in the Alzey-Worms district in Rhineland-Palatinate . The Rheinhessenbahn is linked to the Palatinate Northern Railway and the Zellertal Railway . The reception building of the station is under monument protection .

history

The first station in Monsheim was opened in 1864 at the same time as the section of the Rheinhessenbahn to Worms . A few years later, the route was expanded via Alzey to Bingen . On October 23, 1872 the Zellertalbahn to Marnheim was opened; a year later this was tied to Langmeil . Also in 1873 the Palatine Northern Railway , which had previously ended in Dürkheim, was extended to Monsheim. This gave the station the status of a railway junction ; As a result, the importance of the station in terms of transport increased sharply. Therefore a new station building was built in 1885.

With the shutdown of the Zellertal Railway in 1983 and the Palatinate Northern Railway in 1984, the previous junction station became a through station . It was restored to its original function when the Palatinate Northern Railway was reactivated in 1995. Since 2001, the Zellertalbahn has also been used again for excursions on Sundays; a resumption of regular traffic within the framework of the Rhineland-Palatinate cycle 2015 is currently (as of June 2014) not planned.

At the same time as the reactivation of the Palatinate Northern Railway, the station was redesigned as the "Monsheim Environmental Station" in a pilot project by the State of Rhineland-Palatinate. The key points of the concept were the new use of the reception building and the goods hall, the construction of a bus station and park-and-ride areas as well as the structural re-use of the abandoned railway areas south and north of the main line.

Railway systems

The formerly extensive railway facilities were largely dismantled after 1984. The main platform and the line track next to it were abandoned and filled in when it was converted into an environmental station, so that the station now only has three of the five platform tracks left.

Access to the central platform for tracks 2 and 3 is via stairs through a pedestrian underpass and is therefore not barrier-free.

building

The station building was built in 1885 in the style of historicism . The first three-story central building is framed by two eaves two-story side wings. The ground floor is emphasized by arched windows and doors.

The goods hall from around 1900 to the east of the station building was converted into a village community center in 2004/05 .

Train traffic

Monsheim station is a clock node of the Rhineland-Palatinate clock every full hour. Emanating from Monsheim routes to Worms, Bingen (Alzey) and green city be hourly regional trains of Deutsche Bahn served on weekdays, the traffic between Monsheim Worms and is compressed to a half hour. On the Zellertal Railway and on via Hochspeyer to Kaiserslautern Central Station , Sunday excursions are offered every two hours in the summer, although this has been inactive since August 2017.
