The Wiesbaden-Igstadt station is the station of the district Igstadt the Hesse state capital Wiesbaden and is located at kilometer 9.2 of the of Wiesbaden station to Niedernhausen (Taunus) leading Ländchesbahn .

history

The station was opened on July 1, 1879 by the Hessian Ludwig Railway and was then called Igstadt . On October 7, 1928, it was renamed Wiesbaden-Igstadt .

Reception building

The brick entrance building, built in 1926, has two floors with a hipped roof , a central and two side entrance projections , is located west of the tracks and is a cultural monument according to the Hessian Monument Protection Act . A single-storey goods shed is built on to the north.

Infrastructure

The turnouts and wing signals in Igstadt were controlled with the help of a mechanical signal box, which is located in part of the station building. Since the dismantling of the railway facilities in the neighboring Erbenheim station, the last remaining siding of the single-track Ländchesbahn is located in Igstadt . To the north of the train station there was a siding to the Raiffeisen agricultural warehouse, which has since been dismantled.

In mid-July 2017, the mechanical wing signals and point machines with wire control were dismantled. New light signals were installed in their place. This ended the local dispatcher operation.

Station buildings and platforms are currently only accessible from the rail side facing away from the location. As part of the renewal of the train stations on the Ländchesbahn, a second access from Bornstrasse is to be built.
