history

Rheinfelden was already connected to the railway network on February 4, 1856, but on the German side: At that time, the first section of the Hochrheinbahn between Basel Badischer Bahnhof and Bad Säckingen was opened. In order to develop the up-and-coming health resort of Rheinfelden, the Grand Ducal Baden State Railway started operating the station near Rheinfelden near the northern bridgehead of the Old Rhine Bridge . The site was almost uninhabited at the time, and the city of Rheinfelden (Baden) only came into being four decades later. Since there was still no rail link on the Swiss side, a committee was formed in 1869 to build the Bözberg line from Basel to Brugg ; the city signed bonds totaling 500,000 francs. Construction work began in 1871 as a joint project of the Swiss Central Railway and the Swiss Northeast Railway . After four years of construction, the line and station were opened on August 2, 1875. The station set a new development focus southwest of the old town and promoted the development of local industry. The breweries' Salmenbräu "and" Feldschlösschen "received in 1885 and 1889 own sidings .

Building

Feldschlösschen guest station

The reception building is built in the late classical style. It was designed by Heinrich Gmelin , the head of the building construction office of the Nordostbahn. The building has a two-storey central wing with a hipped roof and three axes as well as two flat, single-storey side wings. A flight of stairs leads to the three arched entrance portals in the central wing. A string course and a Kniestockgesims reinforce the horizontal structure, emphasizing the vertical while a painted Eckquaderung. The rail-side canopy made of iron struts has been preserved in its original state.

On the opposite side of the track system is the Feldschlösschen brewery's guest station . The building originally stood on the Heuwaage in Basel from 1900 and served as the terminus of the Birsigtalbahn . It was demolished there in 1986 and erected again in Rheinfelden in 1989. From there, nostalgic trains run sporadically to the brewery area around 800 meters away. The single-storey guest station has a half-timbered structure influenced by Art Nouveau and a hipped roof with a clock tower . The three-sided canopy is supported by profiled wooden columns on stone pedestals .
