The Wiesbaden Ost station is a station in the Hesse state capital Wiesbaden . It is on the Taunus Railway . S-Bahn lines S1, S8 and S9 of the S-Bahn Rhein-Main stop here as planned .
history
designation
Originally the name of the station was Biebrich Curve , from 1905: Biebrich curve . On May 1, 1907, it was renamed Biebrich Ost . After the incorporation of Biebrich into Wiesbaden , the name was changed to Wiesbaden-Biebrich Ost on March 1, 1927 , but then "Biebrich" was deleted in 1934 and only "Ost" was retained in the name of the station. The name Wiesbaden Süd was also occupied by the general cargo station in Wiesbaden - hence the name of the Wiesbaden Ost station , although it is located in the south of Wiesbaden.
development
The station was opened on May 19, 1840, when the last section of the Taunus Railway from Kastel to Wiesbaden went into operation. On August 3, 1840, the Curve – Biebrich railway , and on September 18, 1862, the connecting curve to the right Rhine line was put into operation. In the run-up to the opening of the new main train station in Wiesbaden in 1906, the access roads and connecting lines had to be rebuilt. As a result, three short, new routes from Wiesbaden East were put into operation:
- Railway station curve - Wiesbaden Süd (Eilgutbahnhof south of the new main station),
- Railway station curve - Erbenheim (connection to the Ländchesbahn ) and
- Curve station - Waldstrasse station (- Wiesbaden West freight station , right Rhine route and Aartalbahn ).
- Next a 2.38 km long went to the November 4, 1906 siding from the railway curve for slaughterhouse Wiesbaden in operation.
The platform to the east was used until 1955 as a stop for tram line 6 operated jointly by Mainz and Wiesbaden .
Wiesbaden Ost formerly had its own freight yard and was a junction station in freight transport . There was a drainage mountain , but the layout of the track plan was unfavorable.
The station gained new importance as a shunting area for the trains of the Hessische Landesbahn , which has been operating another three regional train lines in the Rhein-Main transport association since December 9, 2018 . For the maintenance of these trains, a specially built hall was put into operation on November 30, 2018 on the site of the Kalle-Albert industrial park opposite ; in addition, the necessary overhead line was built. Due to the track connection, the hall can only be reached via the area of the train station; A change of direction is also necessary from or in the direction of Wiesbaden .
Since the 2018/2019 timetable change on December 9, 2018, a pair of trains on the regional train line RB33, which runs between Mainz and Idar-Oberstein , has stopped in Wiesbaden Ost Monday to Friday , which runs directly between Wiesbaden Hbf and Budenheim and then on without the detour via Mainz main station runs to Bad Kreuznach / Idar-Oberstein.
Reception building
The first station building was built according to a design by Ignaz Opfermann , has not been preserved and was replaced in 1906 by a neo-baroque station building made of red sandstone . It stands to the west of the tracks, has an approximately cruciform floor plan and is richly structured: the gable central wing facing the street has a polygonal porch, to the south half-timbered adorns the gable and to the north is a corner tower with a domed roof. The building is used privately today. It is a cultural monument due to the Hessian Monument Protection Act .

Connection route Biebrich
On August 3, 1840, the 1.5-kilometer branch line to Biebrich was opened.
Igelstein connecting curve
On September 18, 1862 was connecting curve to Nassau Rheinbahn the Nassau Rhine and Lahn Railway Company (now East Rhine Railway ) commissioned. The Nassau Rheinbahn has been running down the Rhine into the Rheingau since 1856 and later on to Oberlahnstein , Bad Ems and Koblenz . Today, this connecting curve has a very high density of freight trains. These pass through Wiesbaden Ost on the western edge away from the platforms and in the southern area meet the tracks of the Taunus Railway in the direction of Mainz-Kastel .
The section between Wiesbaden Ost and the branch Kostheim to Mainz rail bypass was characterized by a chronic overload because here the freight, the train - lines S1 and S9 and the RMV line 10 to Frankfurt main station share the two tracks. In order to eliminate this bottleneck, as part of the immediate seaport hinterland traffic program, on the one hand, parallel travel options for rail freight traffic through longer slip paths are to be created, and on the other hand, a connecting curve to the Mainz bypass is to be built. According to the tender, a single-track, 1200 meter long connection is planned, including two framework structures. With this curve it will be possible to keep freight trains out of the core area of Mainz-Kastel and to disentangle freight and passenger traffic. Even if for reasons of capacity - both the connecting curve and the bypass - it cannot be assumed that a complete shift in freight traffic will be possible, at least a noticeable reduction in the previous conflict potential between freight and passenger traffic can be expected. Only the S9 S-Bahn line will have to share the Kostheim bridge with the freight trains in the area between the Kostheim junction and Mainz-Bischofsheim station .
At the beginning of 2011, work began on decontaminating the soil in the area of the junction to the Kaiserbrücke . On this area the size of a football field there used to be a gas works that produced luminous gas. The primary measures include the replacement and disposal of the soil contaminated with polycyclic chlorinated hydrocarbons. The work on this was largely completed by late summer. The remediation of the groundwater will, however, take several years. After all the work has been completed, the area will be landscaped and serve as an ecological compensation area for the Igelstein curve.
As a further preparatory measure, a switch was installed in October 2011 , on which the freight trains are to reach the connecting curve in the future. However, the construction of the actual curve has been postponed indefinitely. The railway has legally valid planning approval decisions. However, it is unclear when she will make use of this.

The comment at minute 8:04 is wrong: "In the background the Bundesbahn systems from Mainz-Kastel". But they are from "Biebrich Ost" - today "Wiesbaden Ost". From 8:00 a.m. onwards, the tram route with the platform north of the long-distance train tracks comes into the picture.
