The station of the community of Niedernhausen im Taunus is the most important station on the Main-Lahn-Bahn between the stations Frankfurt-Höchst and Eschhofen near Limburg an der Lahn . It is the end point of the Ländchesbahn , which leads from Niedernhausen to the main train station of the Hessian capital Wiesbaden and the end of the line S2 of the Rhein-Main S-Bahn .
history
The Niedernhausen station was built with the construction of the Main-Lahn-Bahn from Frankfurt am Main to Limburg an der Lahn in 1877 by the Hessian Ludwig Railway . On October 15, 1877, the last section of the line between Frankfurt-Höchst and Idstein was put into operation. The connection between the Rhine-Main area and the Limburg basin was thus ensured. With the opening of the Ländchesbahn from Niedernhausen to Wiesbaden in 1879, Niedernhausen (route kilometers: 31.80) rose to become the most important train station between Höchst and Eschhofen near Limburg, where the Main-Lahn-Bahn joins the Lahntalbahn . As a railway junction, the Niedernhausen station received a locomotive shed - today converted into a total of six lofts - with a turntable , a water tower , a coal bunker and sidings for operating the steam locomotives . The engine shed and water tower are now a listed building. In 1880 the first station building was built, which was replaced by a representative new building on January 1, 1906. The train station contributed significantly to the upturn in the previously small town and its neighboring communities. Since the turn of the century , Niedernhausen, which was chosen as a climatic health resort , could now allow its spa guests to travel comfortably by train. In 1913, with the construction of the second track, the level crossing to the neighboring community of Königshofen was replaced by a modern railway bridge.
During the Second World War , the station was the target of several air raids. In the heaviest of these, the station building , large parts of the track system, around 30 parked locomotives and dozen of wagons were destroyed on February 22, 1945 . Reconstruction began after the war. A new reception building with a signal box was built . The number of railway employees rose to 100 people. The relocation of goods transport to trucks later led to the closure of the station's goods handling facility . With the end of the steam locomotive era in October 1973, the facilities that were no longer needed were dismantled. On August 25, 1975, the Rhein-Main S-Bahn began operations; while Niedernhausen was the terminus of line S2. From 1978 it drove into the new Frankfurt S-Bahn tunnel to the Hauptwache station . In 1983 the Frankfurt S-Bahn tunnel was extended to Konstablerwache , and in 1990 to the Südbahnhof . In 1993 the S2 went to the Mühlberg station before the tunnel in Offenbach and in 2003 the Rodgau S-Bahn to Dietzenbach was opened. The full electrification of the line to Limburg was completed in 1988. Between 2004 and 2014 the Ländchesbahn was operated by the vectus Verkehrsgesellschaft , which was replaced by the Hessische Landesbahn (HLB) . The municipality's central bus station (ZOB) is in front of the reception building .
During the construction phase of the Cologne – Rhine / Main high-speed line , a track temporarily led from the station to the high-speed line. This temporary connection was used for the track construction on the line. Gradients of up to 55 per thousand had to be overcome.
In the spring of 2019, construction work began on the accessibility of the station with elevators and other modernization (including new platform roofs). This construction work is expected to be completed in spring 2020.
