history

Railway projects around Rheinzabern

Originally it was planned to start operating a railway line in north-south direction within the Palatinate (Bavaria) from the Rheinschanze via Lauterbourg to Strasbourg , which should compete with the Mannheim – Basel line planned by Baden . However, this was postponed in favor of the Palatinate Ludwigshafen - Bexbach, which opened between 1847 and 1849 . In the period that followed, discussions took place as to whether a route along the mountains from Neustadt via Landau to Wissembourg or a route along the Rhine via Speyer , Germersheim and Wörth was more urgent and desirable. Since the military in particular preferred a route on the edge of the Palatinate Forest , one in the form of the Maximiliansbahn Neustadt – Wissembourg was preferred.

In the course of efforts to link the Maximiliansbahn with the Baden capital Karlsruhe , several personalities from Rheinzabern and its neighboring communities tried to route the route via Offenbach , Herxheim , Leimersheim and Leopoldshafen . In neighboring Rülzheim, this was to be linked to the Schifferstadt – Speyer branch line , which was opened at the same time as the Ludwigsbahn and which would be linked through accordingly. However, these plans competed with the Winden – Karlsruhe railway line , which was eventually given preference and opened in 1864. In the same year the Speyer route was extended to Germersheim .

Also in 1864, a local committee from Rülzheim tried to extend the line that now ended in Germersheim to Wörth , which resulted in a first draft shortly afterwards. However, the location of the Rheinzabern train station was disputed. One variant provided for this east of the municipality, another, however, in the west. The neighboring communities, who wanted him close by, also got involved in the debate. The committee itself advocated the location in the west on March 30, 1872, before it was finally decided on July 7, 1872. On July 25, 1876, the connection of the line to Wörth including the Rheinzabern station was finally opened.
