Bad Dürkheim station is a terminal station in Bad Dürkheim in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It is on the Palatinate Northern Railway between Neustadt an der Weinstraße and Monsheim. It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 5 station.[2]
Entrance building
[edit]The entrance building is a heritage-listed building.
In front of the entrance building is the terminus of the Bad Dürkheim–Ludwigshafen-Oggersheim railway. Bad Dürkheim also includes the stations of Bad Dürkheim-Trift and Bad Dürkheim Ost.
History
[edit]The station was opened on 6 May 1865 as part of the Neustadt–Bad Durkheim line.[4] The station was not relocated with the closing of the Grünstadt–Bad Durkheim gap on 20 July 1873,[4] so the station remains as a terminal station, even though it is in the middle on the line.
In 1913, the Bad Durkheim–Ludwigshafen-Oggersheim railway was opened by Rhein-Haardt Bahn GmbH, which begins on the station forecourt. Between Ludwigshafen-Oggersheim and Bad Durkheim, the line, which was authorised as a railway, runs in Bad Dürkheim as a tram on grooved rails.
Operations
[edit]Bad Durkheim station has three platform tracks, which are used only by regional trains. Regional services connect the station with Neustadt an der Weinstraße at 30-minute intervals. An excursion train runs under the name of the Elsass-Express (Alsace-Express) between Mainz via Bad Durkheim to Wissembourg on weekends and public holidays during the summer. The terminal loop of the Bad Durkheim–Ludwigshafen-Oggersheim railway is located outside the station. This route is served by line 4 of the Mannheim/Ludwigshafen tramways.
