history

The line from Neustadt to Dürkheim , opened in 1865, was originally intended to be tied through to Frankenthal . The plans were later changed so that they should be extended via Erpolzheim and Grünstadt to Monsheim . Due to this circumstance, plans were running to build a railway line branching off from this route to Frankenthal in Freinsheim, which should lead, among other things, via Weisenheim am Sand. The line was opened on October 15, 1877; Along with Lambsheim and Flomersheim, Weisenheim was one of a total of three subway stations. The station itself was at the time on the south-eastern edge of the settlement.

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 administered by the Neustadt Operations and Building Inspection and was part of the Freinsheim Railway Maintenance Department . In 1922 the station was incorporated into 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 dissolution of the Ludwigshafen management, he changed to the area of ​​responsibility of the Mainz management on April 1, 1937; at that time he was subordinate to the works office (RBA) Ludwigshafen and the railway maintenance office Frankenthal.

The German Federal Railroad (DB), which was responsible for rail operations from 1949, incorporated the station into the Mainz Federal Railway Directorate , which allocated all the railway lines within the newly created federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate . In the course of the gradual dissolution of the Mainz directorate in the early 1970s, its counterpart in Karlsruhe was responsible for the train station with effect from June 1, 1971 .

At the same time, the platform barriers were lifted. The station has been part of the Rhein-Neckar transport association (VRN) since 1990 . Due to the demolition of the Lambsheim and Flomersheim stations to stops in the period that followed, Weisenheim am Sand has since become the only remaining crossing option for trains between Freinsheim and Frankenthal , which is only used Monday to Friday during rush hour.

Reception building

The listed entrance building is a stately, late classicist plastered building that was built from 1873. In 1898 it was also expanded.

traffic

passenger traffic

The timetable from 1884 contained trains that made heads in Frankenthal and drove on the line coming from Mainz to Ludwigshafen. The station each hour of regional trains of the relation Frankenthal central station - Ramsen (Pfalz) served. After the Second World War , for reasons of circulation, the trains were tied through Freinsheim via the Palatinate Northern Railway to Grünstadt. From 1994 they ran to Eisenberg on the Eistalbahn , from 1995 to Ramsen. On Sundays and public holidays, the trains have been tied to the Eiswoog since 2001 . On the occasion of the annual carnival parade on site, the station has increased traffic during this time. For this reason, the DB uses additional trains; the others also drive in double traction .

Freight transport

From the 1980s, transfer trains served the station, which at that time no longer formed a separate freight tariff point. It was operated from Frankenthal Central Station , which it served as a satellite. In the meantime, freight traffic has ceased. At the same time, the freight tracks were dismantled.
