history

The then Rinnthal-Sarnstall station was opened as a link on the Annweiler - Zweibrücken section on November 25, 1875. It served as a joint station for the municipality of Rinnthal and the neighboring Annweiler district of Sarnstall . At the beginning of the 20th century, like all other stations in the Palatinate, the station received platform closures . During this time, the station was managed by the Landau Operations and Building Inspectorate and was part of the Albersweiler railway maintenance department . After Germany had lost the First World War and the French military had marched in, the Palatinate route network south of Maikammer-Kirrweiler was closed to passenger traffic on December 1, 1918, but was reopened three days later. In the period that followed, the station name was changed to Rinnthal .

In 1922, the station was assigned to the newly established Ludwigshafen Reich Railway Directorate . A year later employed at the station railway workers were the carried out in the course of France, to 1924 permanent director operation reported. Then they returned. In the course of the gradual dissolution of the Reichsbahndirektion Ludwigshafen, the station changed to the area of ​​responsibility of the Saarbrücken management and the operations office (RBA) Zweibrücken on May 1, 1936. The German Federal Railways was divided the station after the Second World War in the Bundesbahndirektion Mainz one, they all railway lines within the newly created state of Rhineland-Palatinate allotted. In 1971 the station came under the responsibility of its Karlsruhe counterpart in the course of the dissolution of the Mainz management. At the same time, the platform barriers were lifted.

With the railway reform on January 1, 1994, the station became the property of Deutsche Bahn . The station has been part of the Rhein-Neckar transport association (VRN) since 1996 . After the abandonment of freight transport, the station was dismantled to the stop. The tariff of the Karlsruhe Transport Association (KVV) has also been recognized since 2002 . In 2006, Rinnthal was modernized as the first stop on the Landau – Pirmasens Nord section.

Buildings

The reception building had a ticket office, a waiting room and a room for luggage. It no longer plays a role in rail operations and has been converted into a residential building. He had a house platform and a central platform. Around 1990 the station was robbed of its southern track and the associated train crossing facility. After the abandonment of goods traffic, the corresponding tracks in the eastern area of ​​the station were also cut off or dismantled so that it has been a stopping point ever since. Some disused and separated loading tracks in the direction of Sarnstall as well as a weighbridge have been preserved. On June 24, 2001, the siding in Sarnstall was expanded.

In Rinnthal there were two mechanical signal boxes, a guard signal box and a dispatcher signal box . The guard interlocking was designed in the standard design and was called the Rto interlocking .

traffic

passenger traffic

The timetable from 1897 partly contained continuous local trains from Zweibrücken to Germersheim ; there were also those that were limited to the Landau – Zweibrücken section. A decade later, five local trains ran between Landau and Zweibrücken. In 1914, on Sundays and public holidays, a pair of trains ran via the Wieslauterbahn , which opened in 1911, to Bundenthal-Rumbach. The timetable from 1944 included local trains from Karlsruhe via Landau and Zweibrücken to Saarbrücken in some cases.

In the 1950s, the Landau – Zweibrücken railway, along with its eastern continuation to Germersheim, was recorded under the course book number 280. However, you usually had to change trains in Landau. The through trains from Germersheim to Zweibrücken also had a longer stay at Landau's main train station. The local trains that stopped at Godramstein station in the mid-1960s ran on the routes Landau – Zweibrücken and Landau – Pirmasens Hauptbahnhof. From 1994 to 1999 the trains ran on the Neustadt – Pirmasens Hauptbahnhof route.

Freight transport

At the beginning of the 20th century, operated freight trains on the Kaiserslautern – Homburg – Landau – Germersheim and Saarbrücken – Landau – Germersheim routes ran the station. The local freight traffic was once carried by a local chair factory as well as the loading of wood and the Buchmann paper factory in Sarnstall. The latter also had a siding and a works locomotive that shunted the corresponding freight wagons on a transfer track into the works premises. On May 30, 1976, all train stations outside of railway junctions were closed as independent goods tariff points, which also affected Rinnthal train station. From then on, transfer trains served the station, which from that time on served as a satellite for Landau's main station . Freight traffic, which last only took place sporadically, was completely stopped in 1997.
