Bahnhofstrasse / Güterstrasse location	Bexbach station ensemble	In the summer of 1848, the single-track line of the Palatinate Ludwig Railway to Bexbach, the border town between Bavaria and Prussia, was completed and expanded to and from Prussia in the following years. The construction of the line was important for the removal of the coal from the mines in Bexbach, St. Ingbert and Frankenholz. With the closure of the Bexbach and Frankenholz pits in 1959, the volume of goods at Bexbach station fell drastically.
		Bahnhofstrasse, Bexbach station, station reception building (1848–49) (individual monument): The station reception building from 1848/49 is the oldest surviving station building in Saarland. Originally, the two-storey, eaves-standing building was a simple rectangular building in the arched style . On the east side there was a ticket office and the service rooms of the station staff, on the west side there were the waiting rooms, some of which also had a gastronomic offer. Later the waiting rooms were removed in favor of a large hall. In the 1960s and 1977 the station was rebuilt and renovated. However, the original character of the building was lost. In addition to the two-storey main building, there are single-storey side extensions that are structured in the style of the core building with pilaster strips and are equipped with segmented arched windows.
		Güterstraße 3, freight hall (part of the ensemble): The freight hall of the train station was built in the second half of the 19th century as a two-story plastered building with a high base and a small extension.

The Frankenholz-St. Barbara was also one of the most firedamp mines in Europe and was therefore dangerous for the workforce. As early as 1959, operations were stopped again. The computing house was built in 1954 and housed the colliery hall and Steiger offices.
