The Nistertal-Bad Marienberg train station (formerly: Erbach ) is one of two train stations in the Rhineland-Palatinate municipality of Nistertal , along with the Büdingen (Westerw) stop . The station is located at 42.4 km of the Limburg (Lahn) –Altenkirchen (Westerw) –Au (Sieg) (Oberwesterwaldbahn) railway . From 1911 to 1971 the Erbach – Fehl-Ritzhausen railway branched off here .

Naming

The Nistertal-Bad Marienberg station was opened under the name Erbach (Westerw) , as it is located in the Nistertal district of Erbach. From 1911 to 1971, the city of Marienberg owned the Marienberg-Langenbach train station (a good one kilometer southwest of the city center) . After the closure of the Erbach – Fehl-Ritzhausen railway, the Erbach station was the closest station to Marienberg, so it was ultimately renamed Nistertal / Bad Marienberg and has since served both the community of Nistertal and the city of Bad Marienberg.

history

The Nistertal-Bad Marienberg station with the Hachenburg - Hadamar section of the Oberwesterwaldbahn was opened on October 1, 1886 under the name Erbach (Westerw) .

Erbacher bridge over the Nister near the Erbacher train station

The Erbach – Fehl-Ritzhausen railway was a bit difficult to lay out due to the unsuitable subsoil near Erbach . The route had to be built on the western slope of the Nister . In addition to the crossing of the Limburg – Altenkirchen railway, an eleven-arched, 300 m long and almost 40 m high concrete viaduct, which was then the largest in the German Empire , was built over the Nister in just six months. At that time it was built without steel reinforcement and was considered a “miracle of technology”. The railway line was finally opened on August 31, 1911.

On September 26, 1971, passenger traffic on the entire Erbach – Fehl-Ritzhausen route and goods traffic between Marienberg and Fehl-Ritzhausen were suspended. On July 1, 1996, the remaining section, which until the end of 1994 - albeit only sporadically - was still served by freight traffic, was closed.

After the Erbach – Fehl-Ritzhausen line was closed in 1971 for passenger traffic, the Erbach Bridge was preserved as a technical monument .

Reception building

South-east side of the station building

The entrance building of the Nistertal-Bad Marienberg train station with the attached goods shed is a type building that was built around 1885. The train station has the address Bahnhofstraße 2 . According to the Rhineland-Palatinate Monument Protection Act , the reception building of the Nistertal-Bad Marienberg train station is a cultural monument .

Track systems

The Nistertal-Bad Marienberg train station still has extensive track systems that used to be used for freight traffic and were not dismantled. There are three tracks on a house platform and a central platform for passenger traffic .

The numbering of the tracks begins on the southwest side of the station building .

  • Track 1 is a through track and is the main platform directly in front of the station building. Today the HLB trains of the Westerwald-Sieg-Bahn (RB 90) in the direction of Limburg (Lahn) depart via Westerburg .
  • Track 2 is also a through track and shares an island platform with track 4. Here the trains of the line RB90 run in the direction of Siegen via Altenkirchen (Westerw) and Au (Sieg) .
  • Track 4 is a through track and is the outermost platform track on the platform next to track 2. Occasional trains to Altenkirchen / Au (Sieg) leave here.
  • Next to track 4 is the extensive track system, which used to be primarily used for freight traffic and is now partly overgrown, but partly still passable.

business

Only local trains stop at Nistertal-Bad Marienberg station.

With the timetable change in December 2014, the Hessische Landesbahn , Dreiländerbahn operating division, took over the traffic on the Limburg - Au route from Vectus . LINT 27 railcars , which are designed for speeds of up to 120 km / h, will continue to be used. Due to delayed infrastructure expansion, the line is currently broken in Westerburg. The trips on the Westerwald-Sieg-Bahn line are carried out by the Dreiländerbahn operating area of ​​the HLB. The transport services on the section of the RB90 in Rhineland-Palatinate are carried out on behalf of the regional rail passenger transport association Rheinland-Pfalz Nord (SPNV Nord) and are carried out according to the Rhineland-Palatinate cycle . Since January 1st, 2017 the tariff of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Mosel (VRM) has also applied in the Westerwaldkreis . Since the timetable change in December 2014, the RB 90 section of the RB 90 between Westerburg and Siegen, which mostly runs in Rhineland-Palatinate, has a general hourly service from Monday to Sunday, which is partially increased every half hour on the Betzdorf-Altenkirchen section during rush hour from Monday to Friday. There is also a park-and-ride facility and a bike-and-ride facility at the Nistertal / Bad Marienberg train station.

Diesel network Eifel-Westerwald-Sieg

The route was put out to tender in September 2011 as part of the Eifel-Westerwald-Sieg diesel network. In the course of this tender, the Oberwesterwaldbahn (line RB 28) was renamed the Westerwald-Sieg-Bahn (RB 90) at the timetable change in December 2014 and extended from Au (Sieg) to Siegen .
