History

Originally the name of the station " Biebrich Curve ", later " Biebrich East". With the incorporation of Biebrich in Wiesbaden Although "East" in the name of the station has been maintained, " Biebrich " but replaced by " Wiesbaden " - hence the name of the station, although he is in the south of Wiesbaden.

From here, branched from the August 3, 1840, a 1.5 -kilometer spur track to the Rhine railway station in Biebrich from and thus joined the Biebricher free port with the Taunus Railway. The bag station on the Rhine was right next to 1839 of maximum am Main to Biebrich laid Nassauischen main tax office so that an immediate clearance of the delivered goods on the Rhine was possible. This led in 1841 to border disputes (fog prank ) with the neighboring Grand Duchy of Hesse. The railway was operated until 1872 with horse power and 1907 shut down. Part of the route was further used as siding.

From 18 September 1862 gave the Curve station a connection bridge to Nassau Rheinbahn the Nassau Rhine and Lahn Railway Company, which led down the Rhine the Rheingau and later on to Oberlahnstein and Bad Ems since 1856.

The northerly platform was used until 1955 as a stop on the jointly operated by Mainz and Wiesbaden tram line 6.

The neo-baroque reception building dates from 1906 and is used privately today.

In the northwestern area of ​​the station opens, the rights Rhine route, which has a very high density of freight trains in this area. This drive through Wiesbaden Ost on the western edge off the platforms and take in the southern area of the Taunus Railway to Mainz -Kastel. The section between Wiesbaden Ost and the branch fare home is characterized by a chronic overload, since the freight and the S-Bahn lines S1 and S9 as well as the RMV line 10 meet to Frankfurt Hbf. To eliminate this bottleneck, are under the emergency program seaport hinterland traffic to rise to a parallel driving opportunities for rail freight transport by longer slip roads, on the other hand a connecting curve to bypass web Mainz are built. According call is planned a single-track, 1200m long association, including two frame buildings. With this curve it will be possible to stay out of the freight trains from the core area of Mainz -Kastel and to unbundle its goods and passenger transport. Although for reasons of capacity, both the connecting curve and the bypass path can not be assumed that a complete shift of freight transport will be possible. So at the very least a significant reduction of the current potential for conflict between freight and passenger traffic expected. Only the S-Bahn line S9 must share the Kostheimer bridge with freight trains off in the future in the region between the branch point and the train fare home Mainz Bishop home.

In early 2011 a start was made to decontaminate the soil in the region of the branch to the Kaiser Bridge. In this approx football field area there used to be a gas station, was produced in the coal gas. The primary measures include the replacement and disposal of the contaminated with polycyclic chlorinated hydrocarbons soil. Work on this has been largely completed by late summer. The remediation of groundwater, however, take several years to complete. After completion of work, the area is to be landscaped and serve as ecological compensation area for hedgehogs stone curve.

As a further preparatory action a switch was installed in October 2011, on which the freight trains will arrive in the future to the compound curve. The construction of the actual curve is postponed indefinitely. Although the web has legally valid planning approval. When they, however, appoint to, is unclear.
