history
With the expansion of the left Rhine route from Koblenz to Bingen, the Oberwesel train station went into operation at the end of 1859. The harbor track was built in 1896. As early as 1907/08, the station building was expanded with additions to the side: A service room for the dispatcher, a station management and a waiting room for the 3rd class were added. The renovation of the reception hall and the construction of a separate toilet building on Mainzer Strasse took place in 1925–1927. In 1956 a pedestrian underpass was built under the tracks and in 1969/70 the relay building was built next to the station building. In 2004 the toilet building was finally torn down again in the course of the construction of the P + R facility.
Infrastructure
Oberwesel train station has a reception building which currently only houses apartments and the signal box. In the access area to the traffic station, tickets can be purchased from two ticket machines.
The traffic station itself has three platform tracks. The house platform on track 1 has a height of 38 cm and a length of 283 m. From there, through a pedestrian underpass, you get to the central platform, which is located on tracks 2 and 3. It also has a height of 38 cm and a length of 322 m. As a rule, the trains to Mainz leave platform 1 and the trains to Koblenz leave platform 2. Track 3 is only used by trains that start or end here or are overtaken (scheduled or unscheduled).
In the course of renovation work, a new P + R facility was built in the vicinity of the station. In addition to around 100 parking spaces, this also includes taxi, moped and bicycle parking spaces. Several bus stops are available for connection with regional bus services.
