Bingen (Rhein) Hauptbahnhof (until 1993: Bingerbrück ) is the most important train station in Bingen am Rhein . It is located in the Bingerbrück district . It is a separation station where the Nahe Valley Railway branches off from the left-hand Rhine route. Next to today's passenger station there was also a marshalling yard, which has now been dismantled .
location
Bingen (Rhein) Hauptbahnhof is located in the Bingerbrück district of the city of Bingen am Rhein and stretches along the Rhine almost to the Nahe . The Bingen (Rhein) Stadt train station is just under 1.5 kilometers to the east . This is centrally located in the city and offers better connections to public bus transport thanks to its bus station .
history
Until World War II
The station was opened on July 15, 1858 as Bingerbrück station together with the first section of the Nahe Valley Railway. On the opposite side of the river Nahe was the Bingen train station on the Hessian Ludwigsbahn line on the left bank of the Rhine .
On October 17, 1859, both stations were connected by a railway bridge. The Bingerbrück station was also a border station between the then Kingdom of Prussia and the Grand Duchy of Hesse . On December 15, 1859, the Koblenz – Bingerbrück section of the Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft was opened. In order to improve the transport of goods from the Saar area to the Wiesbaden and Frankfurt am Main area , the Rhein-Nahe-Eisenbahn and Nassauische Staatsbahn decided to set up the Bingerbrück – Rüdesheim trajectory for freight cars. This ferry took on September 1, 1862 on its operation and wrong on the Rhine between Bingerbrück and Rudesheim .
In 1899 a telegraph office was set up in the station. At that time there were still two telegraph offices in Mainz and two in Darmstadt (one of which was also newly established) within the Mainz administrative district .
In 1900 the operation of the trajectory was stopped and a few years later it was replaced by the Hindenburg Bridge. This railway bridge between Bingerbrück and Rüdesheim was built between 1913 and 1915 and destroyed in the Second World War. Since then there has been no way for trains to cross the Rhine near Bingen. The station itself was also the target of air raids by the Allies during World War II . B. on December 29, 1944. 19.6 km of track, 198 points and five signal boxes in the station area were destroyed.
After the Second World War
The railway systems were gradually repaired and put into operation from 1945, the electrical signal boxes as early as 1946.
In 1960 the Deutsche Bahn built a wagon repair hall on the site of the former Bingerbrücker Hafen. The 3000 square meter hall was traversed by three adjacent tracks that were connected to the rail network on both sides. In 1978 repair work was centralized and the car repair shop closed.
Since the municipality reform in 1969, Bingerbrück has belonged to the city of Bingen am Rhein. Since then, Bingen has had several train stations and train stops. Because the Nahe Valley Railway in Bingerbrück is linked to the left-hand Rhine route and this station is also a long-distance stop , it is the most important in the city of Bingen. For this reason it was renamed in 1993 from Bingerbrück to Bingen (Rhein) Hauptbahnhof .
The six signal boxes Bingerbrück Ostturm - Bot , Bingerbrück command signal box - Bkb (which is described in more detail below) and Bingerbrück west tower - Bwt , Bingerbrück approval signal box Kreuzbach - Bzk , Bingerbrück Südgleise Mitte - Bsm , Bingerbrück Nahebahn Süd - Bns , as well as the Bingen command signal box - Bnb and the signal box Bingen Ost - Bo in the neighboring Bingen (Rhein) Stadt station went out of service on February 3, 1996 and were replaced by the central signal box Bf on the railway bridge. The mechanical interlocking Bingerbrück Ostturm was built in 1920 for setting the points and signals on the Rhine route and for shunting operations in the direction of Mainz.
For the state horticultural show, which took place in Bingen in 2008 , the main station was given its new design. The disused, associated marshalling yard and freight yard , which covered an area of 150,000 square meters and had two drainage mountains , was dismantled and integrated into the grounds of the garden show. In addition, the Bingerbrück Ostturm signal box, which was shut down in 1996, was renovated for the garden show and converted into a museum . The approximately 100-meter-long, double-tube brick entrance, which used to lead employees under the tracks to the depot , had to be backfilled due to serious damage. The entrance area of the tunnel was converted into a stage for an open-air theater. The old stairway at the entrance area has been restored and serves as a seating area for the public. This construction work also took place in preparation for the state horticultural show. In addition, a bridge was built, which was equipped with lifts and led to the grounds of the garden show, so visitors from the platform of accessibility could go to the garden show.
From December 2015 to September 2016 the Hamburg-Cologne-Express stopped here twice a week in each direction; however, the section south of Cologne was abandoned due to lack of demand.
Signal box Bingerbrück command signal box
The Bingerbrück command signal box (Bkb) is located in the north of the Bingen main station at the former southern drainage hill of the freight yard . Although it is the interlocking design of a bridge interlocking (with the control room raised across the tracks), today it is usually incorrectly referred to as (old) equestrian interlocking , whereby this error was also fixed by the entry in the list of monuments.
The command signal box was planned as a steel frame structure by the architect and Reichsbahn construction officer Hans Kleinschmidt and completed in 1937. On the western side, a tower-like component made of quarry stone masonry provides access to the control room with a 15-meter-long storage room and the operating rooms; underneath, the building also contains a pedestrian bridge that extends over the length of the storage space to the other side of the track system. The electromechanical interlocking system of type E 43 from Siemens is ten meters long. At peak times, the signal box was manned by five people, who were responsible in particular for the train dismantling, process and train formation traffic in the freight yard section. After 60 years of operation, the signal box was taken out of service together with the other signal boxes and replaced by the new central signal box Bf on the Nahe bridge.
In 2014, a feasibility study for the future use of the listed building was commissioned by DB Netz AG. In March 2018, the renovation of the bridge signal box by DB Netz AG began. Cracks on the main girders were welded and the contact protection above the track was renewed. In 2019 the windows were replaced and the interior work started. In addition to a new house connection , the building received a new heating system, electrical installations, doors and floors in 2020. The listed maintenance work should be completed in August 2020 so that the new offices can be occupied by the bridge inspectors from DB Netz AG.
The rider stands as interlocking since November 8, 2005 a cultural monument under monument protection . It is also part of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site .
investment
There are three platforms with six platform tracks for passenger traffic in Bingen main station . The central platforms on tracks 101 to 103 and 201 are 55 centimeters high and the central platforms on platforms 202 and 203 are 38 centimeters high.
passenger traffic

In long- distance passenger rail transport , individual Intercity and EuroCity lines 31 and 32 stop here at tracks 101 and 102.
In rail transport regularly hold four lines: The RE 2 between Koblenz Central Station and Frankfurt (Main) Central Station stops at the same tracks as the long-distance transport. The RE 17 between Koblenz Hauptbahnhof and Kaiserslautern Hauptbahnhof stops at platform 202. The RB 26 between Cologne Hauptbahnhof and Mainz Hauptbahnhof stops at platforms 201 (towards Mainz) and 103 (towards Cologne) and is used there by long-distance trains and regional trains. Express overhauled as planned. The RB 65 to Kaiserslautern Hauptbahnhof, which begins in Bingen, usually runs from platform 203, while this line's repeater trains run from platform 202.
The Hamburg-Köln-Express stopped in Bingen between December 2015 and August 2016.

Planning
As part of the 2015 Rhineland-Palatinate cycle , the Hunsrückquerbahn was to be reactivated and a rail connection at Frankfurt-Hahn Airport was to be created. This station should be served by a regional express line that runs via Bingen and Mainz to Frankfurt. The new Regional Express line (RE 17, see above) between Koblenz and Kaiserslautern via Bingen, which was planned at the same time, was implemented in 2016. According to current reports, the reactivation of the Hunsrückquerbahn from Langenlonsheim to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport will not only be delayed until after 2020, but may also be canceled entirely. Nevertheless, Infrastructure Minister Roger Lewentz announced that he would continue the planning process. Currently (as of 2020) a plan approval procedure is running, the result of which is expected since the end of 2017.
