The Stadtallendorf Station is a transit station at kilometer 82.1 of the Main-Weser Railway . It is assigned to station category 4 . In the course of the Hessentag 2010 , the platforms, underpass and the area around the station were modernized and redesigned.
history
The station was opened at the same time as the Main-Weser Railway in 1850 as the Allendorf stop . This consisted of a guard's house and two platforms, each 100 meters long . It was not until 1904 that the breakpoint was converted into a train station after a 600-meter-long passing track was built and the platforms were extended . In addition, two station tracks, a goods shed , ramps and a loading street were built. A short time later, the station building was opened in 1908 and a second passing track was set up during the First World War . By 1934, the loading facilities were expanded and the track systems rebuilt.
During the Second World War , the Allendorfer Sprengstoffwerke DAG and WASAG were built and connected to the station with a total of 39 kilometers of connecting lines equipped with 97 switches. As a result, the station was greatly expanded (ten new tracks) and provided with two signal boxes. In addition, the level crossing was removed and replaced by the pedestrian underpass that still exists today . In 1942 a connecting line to the Kirtorf airfield was opened, but it was closed again in 1947. After the end of the war, production in the explosives works was stopped and the damaged railway wagons were scrapped. The sidings were then (and in some cases still are today) used by the resident companies and the Herrenwald barracks .
In 1959, two express trains and 31 passenger trains stopped at the station a day. This year 106,000 tickets were sold. After the superstructure of the connecting railways was renewed in 1961, the Federal Railroad took over operations there, which had previously been carried out by the Allendorf construction company . In 1964, the tracks in the station area were electrified and the modern waiting hall with ticket issuance was added to the reception building. Electrical operation started in 1966, and a year later a total renovation of the reception building began. In 1969, 145,000 tickets were sold. Due to the general cargo reorganization, the station served Neustadt and twelve other locations in general cargo traffic . However, general cargo handling was completely relocated to Marburg in 1975 .
While 104,566 tickets were sold in 1978, the number fell to 58,004 by 1983. In 1984 the station was closed as the main service. There were extensive changes to the timetable in 1988: the twelve express train connections were canceled, but the number of express trains increased from 19 to 26. The newly introduced Interregio ran through the station without stopping. In 1994, the express and local train connections were replaced by regional and regional express trains, with the result that the station lost all long-distance traffic . After the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV) started in 1995, rail mail traffic was completely stopped in 1997 . The reception building has not been used since the ticket issuance and waiting hall were closed on June 30, 2001. From now on, tickets can only be purchased in travel agencies and ticket machines . In December 2006 the Mittelhessen-Express was introduced, which runs every hour to Frankfurt am Main and Treysa . In 2009, the complete renovation of the station area and the city center began.
On December 15, 2009, a shunting accident occurred in which a class 155 electric locomotive and the local track system were damaged. A shunting locomotive had driven against the electric locomotive parked at a switch. The recovery of the locomotive and the repair of the tracks took several weeks. People were not injured in the accident. On October 29, 2011, there was a serious accident in the platform area when a 19-year-old was sitting on the edge of the platform at platform 2 at around 4:50 a.m. and stretched her legs towards the tracks. The young woman did not notice an approaching train in the direction of Kassel , which hit her and seriously injured her. Her legs were smashed in the process. Your 18 and 21 year old companions were unable to prevent the accident.
Conversion for the Hessentag
For the Hessentag 2010 , the station was renovated by the city of Stadtallendorf with subsidies from the federal and state governments for a total of 7.3 million euros and made barrier-free . The groundbreaking ceremony took place on July 17, 2009, and construction work began one day later. Because of the tight schedule and the space requirements - the HVT tent was located here during the Hessentag - the construction of a park-and-ride facility was only realized after the Hessentag. By the start of the Hessentag, the renovation of platforms 1 (tracks 1 and 2) and 2 (track 3), the renovation of the two forecourts to Niederkleiner Straße or city center and the reception building were successful. During the renovation, the platforms and the underpass were temporarily closed, which sometimes involved long detours.
Initially, only the main platform (tracks 1 and 2) and the underpass should be renovated. The platform on track 3 was also renovated in May 2010 due to the remaining funding. The underpass, which is an important footpath connection between the northern and southern parts of the city, was decried as a dream because of its poor lighting in the evening hours. Today it is brightly designed, with yellow tiles and pictures of ICEs . The inauguration of the entire station took place on May 25, 2010.
Since the renovation, there are now 71 bicycle parking spaces, 30 of which are covered. There are also eleven bicycle boxes in the former waiting hall.
Reception building
The station building was opened in 1908, four years after the Allendorf stop was upgraded to a train station. Due to the erection of a barrack on the Güterplatz, which was supposed to counteract the lack of space, a modern waiting hall with ticket issuing was built on the western side in 1964 and the main building was completely rebuilt in 1968.
The reception building has not been used since June 2001, as the waiting hall and ticket issuing facility were closed and the DB junior company, which has been based in 1996, moved out. In 2009 a total renovation of the station building began. The goods halls were demolished and the annex built in 1964 gutted and converted into a bicycle station with 41 parking spaces and toilets . The main building, which was not affected by the complete renovation of the area, now houses an apartment , a travel agency and social rooms for the shunting staff.
traffic
passenger traffic
The station is in the tariff area of the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV) and is served every hour by the Mittelhessen-Express (RB41). This runs between Treysa and Frankfurt Hbf and is winged in Gießen with the train part from Dillenburg . The travel time to Frankfurt is 99 to 118 minutes. There are also two-hour direct connections by Regional Express to Frankfurt am Main and Kassel . The travel time to Frankfurt is 74 minutes, to Kassel 52 to 77 minutes.
A special feature was the IC 1999 ( Berlin Südkreuz –Frankfurt Hbf) until the timetable change on December 11, 2016 , which was the only long-distance train that stopped in Stadtallendorf on Sunday at 11 p.m. During Hessentag from May 28 to June 6, 2010, Deutsche Bahn had some of its InterCity trains stop in Stadtallendorf. According to the railway, the offer was used better than expected.
From December 11, 2016, 12 long-distance trains stopped in Stadtallendorf every day. In 2019 there were only single trains. With the timetable change in December 2019, the scheduled stops of long-distance trains at Stadtallendorf station were discontinued by Deutsche Bahn due to insufficient demand. From now on only regional trains stop.

- Train rides
Every week 375 trains stopped at Stadtallendorf station (as of 2014), none of which started or ended here. From Monday to Friday, 58 trains stopped daily, 49 on Saturdays and 36 trains on Sundays, all of which (except for the IC on Sunday evening) served local traffic.
Freight transport
The transport of bulk goods for the Fritz Winter iron foundry , which is supplied with quartz sand, among other things, dominates freight transport . The track systems, which are still extensive today, are mostly used for shunting and parking wagons. Since around 1980 the connecting railways have been increasingly shut down. In 1983 Stadtallendorf was connected to the new Treysa junction station due to a new shunting concept .
Signal boxes
Stadtallendorf has had two signal boxes since the Second World War , which are still in operation today. The signal box Af is located at the level of the platforms and is controlled by a dispatcher . The Ao signal box is located in the southeast of the station at the junction of the connecting lines. It is set by a switchman . Both signal boxes are operated mechanically .
Further traffic connections
The Stadtallendorfer bus station is about 100 meters south of the DB train station. The following bus lines stop there:
- MR-85 (Schweinsberg - Niederklein - Stadtallendorf - Niederklein - Schweinsberg)
- MR-90 (Wolferode - Hatzbach - Erksdorf - Hatzbach - Stadtallendorf)
- 91 (Stadtallendorf city bus)
- 92 (Stadtallendorf city bus)
The current bus station was opened in 2009 because the old one, built in the early 1980s , had to give way to a new shopping center .
