The Nidda Station is a train station in the same city at the Gießen-Gelnhausen railway ( Lahn-Kinzig-Bahn ). Furthermore, Nidda is the end of the trains from Friedberg .
history
The station was opened on June 29, 1870 as the end point of the second section of the Lahn-Kinzig Railway ( Hungen - Nidda ). The client was the Upper Hessian Railway Company . At the end of November 1870, the railway line was extended to Gelnhausen . On October 1, 1897, the Beienheim – Schotten railway was opened from Beienheim via Nidda to Schotten . This made Nidda a railway junction in the Wetterau .
On November 29, 1959, passenger traffic on the Nidda – Schotten section was stopped. The freight was still operated until February 1960th Due to a lack of demand, it was also discontinued and finally the line was dismantled a few months after its complete closure.
In 2008 and 2009 the station was completely modernized (except for the main platform ). The platforms to tracks 2 and 4 as well as to tracks 5 and 7 were renewed and brought to a uniform height of 55 centimeters.
Station complex
The Nidda station area is of considerable size. In addition to numerous parked railcars of the Butzbach-Licher Eisenbahn (BLE), which operated here until 2005, there are extensive loading tracks, a locomotive shed and the industrial connection of a chemical plant in the southern part . In Nidda, ESTW-A (connected to ESTW-Z Altenstadt) was put into operation in April 2017 as a replacement for two mechanical interlockings, as there was a ban on conversion and the procurement of replacement parts for the rare Willmann type was difficult.
Reception building
The reception building of the station is under Hessian monument .
business
For timetable change 2003/2004 on 14 December 2003, the weekend and holiday traffic was resumed on the Lahn-Kinzig-Bahn.
Until the 2004/2005 timetable change, the Horlofftalbahn route was served by the Butzbach-Licher Eisenbahngesellschaft (BLE). Since the 2005/2006 timetable change, this route has been operated by the Hessische Landesbahn GmbH (HLB) , the parent company of the Butzbach-Licher Eisenbahngesellschaft.
Even if the station is now unoccupied, there is still a lot of traffic here, at least at times, when the trains to and from Gelnhausen , Gießen and Friedberg come together and allow reciprocal transfers. Trains to Gießen depart from platform 2, trains to Gelnhausen from platform 4 and towards Friedberg from platforms 5 and 7. Track 1 (the house platform) was the track in the direction of Schotten.
