The Wiesbaden-Biebrich train station is now just a stop on the right-hand Rhine route in the Biebrich district of the Hessian state capital Wiesbaden .

history

The Biebrich train station on a photo from around 1900, then under the name Biebrich-Mosbach

The station was built in the course of the construction of the Nassau Rhine Valley Railway Wiesbaden - Rüdesheim - Oberlahnstein as the Biebrich-Mosbach station . The line and the station were opened for public transport on August 11, 1856. The station has been renamed several times and has been known as Biebrich Hauptbahnhof since May 1, 1907 , Biebrich West since October 1, 1908, and Wiesbaden-Biebrich since March 1, 1927 since Biebrich was incorporated into Wiesbaden in 1926 . The station must not be confused with the Wiesbaden-Biebrich Rheinbahnhof, which is also located in Biebrich . However, this happened already at the time when both stations were in parallel operation, so often that the Reichsbahndirektion Mainz repeatedly instructed its employees to only accept freight shipments with clearly and correctly filled out waybills for these two stations.

business

Operationally, the station was initially quite important. This is where the Nassau Rhine Valley Railway from what was then Taunusbahnhof , later Wiesbaden Central Station , coming from Wiesbaden met the connecting curve between the Rhine Valley Railway and the Taunus Railway to Frankfurt am Main . For a time there were even through car runs between Wiesbaden and Biebrich for trains between the Rhine Valley and Frankfurt, which Wiesbaden and its terminal stations avoided.

Regional traffic

The Biebrich train station is served every hour, sometimes every half hour during rush hour, by two offers on the RheingauLinie , the RB10 line and, since the 2018/2019 timetable change, the RE9 line as a new express connection to Frankfurt (Main) Hbf, which leaves Wiesbaden main station and the direct one Route between Wiesbaden-Biebrich station and Mainz-Kastel is used.

Reception building

The entrance building is architecturally particularly representative, as it was also the train station for Schloss Biebrich , residence of the Dukes of Nassau , whose park unfolds directly across the street from the train station building. The architect was Heinrich Velde , who created the building in the classical style on an H-shaped floor plan . The design elements of the building were simplified during a later renovation. The station building is now a cultural monument under monument protection .
