traffic

With the construction of the Solmsbachtalbahn from Grävenwiesbach via Brandoberndorf to Albshausen (on the Lahntalbahn ) between 1910 and 1912, Hasselborn received a stop. When passenger traffic was discontinued in 1985 and the entire line was closed in 1990, the Hasselborn stop was also demolished. On November 15, 1999, the (single-track) Grävenwiesbach – Brandoberndorf line was reactivated by the Hochtaunus Transport Association (VHT). Since May 28, 2000, trains have been running continuously from Brandoberndorf via Grävenwiesbach, Usingen, Wehrheim and Friedrichsdorf to Bad Homburg, and even to Frankfurt (Main) Hauptbahnhof during rush hour . Today the Taunusbahn trains operated by the Hessische Landesbahn (HLB) stop every hour in Hasselborn. In November 2007, the halt (like all other Taunusbahn stations from Köppern to Brandoberndorf) was equipped with a train destination indicator.
