Location
Local location
The station is located on the southeastern outskirts of the local church. West of him initially runs parallel to the train tracks the local station road in order to recoil to the northeast. To the west of it is semi-circular road at the station, which was built in the 2000s during the construction of a housing development area. Several buildings were demolished in the station area at the same time. East of the station - also parallel to the tracks - is the Minfelder road, which is here identical to the federal highway 427. The latter bends at a 90- degree angle to the left, then cross under the tracks. Between the Minfelder street and the train station is a cooperative house.

The railway winds -Karlsruhe leaves the southern area of the station in a large arc to the west. The spa line runs north first together with the Maximiliansbahn, to then reach in a wide arc to the west towards Bad Bergzabern.
History
Planning, construction and opening of the Palatine Maximilian Railway
First reflections on the construction of the railway to go back to the year 1829. It was originally planned to take place within the former Rhine Palatinate first a railway line in north-south direction in operation. Provided for a highway from Strasbourg to Mainz, which should make a left bank of the Rhine opposite of a line from Mannheim to Basel. However, instead initially arose in the period 1847-1849 the running east -west direction Palatine Ludwig Railway of the Rheinschanze ( 1853: Ludwigshafen) to Bexbach, which mainly served the coal transportation.
We then discussed violently if a route on the mountains of Neustadt on Landau to Wissembourg (Alsace ) or a distance on the Rhine about Speyer, Germersheim and Worth urgent and desirable is. Above all, the military preferred the route that should run on the edge of the Palatinate Forest. However, caused the political events of 1848 that the project initially came to a standstill.
In January 1850 appeared in the then Neustadt an der Haardt a brochure in which a rail on Landau to White Castle (French: Wissembourg) was propagated and was arguing, among other things with the greater population density in relation to the right on the Rhine lying places. The decision was finally made in 1852 in favor of the mountain line after expert reports and studies were initiated in the previous year. On 3 November the same year, the then Bavarian King Maximilian II gave the green light for the construction by approved the establishment of a corporation, which took over the project in attack.
After the stretch of the " Palatine Maximilian Railway" mentioned route Neustadt- Landau was opened on July 18, 1855, the remaining portion to Wissembourg followed on November 26th of the year. Operators was the Palatine Maximilian Railway company founded specifically for this purpose. Already in his early days the station was an important Zugkreuzungsstation in which the express trains crossed with coal trains.
Genesis the way to Karlsruhe (1855-1864)
Already in the following years, the part of the Palatine Maximilian Railway Company plans, one in winds branching from the Maximilian railway track in the capital of Baden Karlsruhe erect. The reason for this was the optimism, coal better in the South German states of Baden, Württemberg and Bavaria the rest - to bring - that was geographically separated from the Rhine Palatinate. The Bavarian Military Karl Krazeisen, the troops was a corps commander in the Palatinate at the time, stressed that such a distance is also necessary for strategic reasons.
" However, we can not omit to acknowledge the necessity of an interconnect line of winches to Karlsruhe for facilitating the carbon dispatches to Baden, Württemberg and Bavaria otherworldly and badauern that were accompanied to obtain the priority concession on our part of the steps taken to this day by any success. "
In 1859 she received an appropriate license from the Ministry of Trade and Public Works. However, there was no unanimity to define winds as the starting point of the proposed range to Baden. Resistance, however, came the part of the town of Germersheim, which urged that instead first to build a railway line in its territory and from there to Bruchsal. In addition, in 1860, several representatives südpfälzischer communities came together, who argued instead of winds and candelabra for a route via Offenbach, Herxheim, Leimersheim and Leopoldshafen. In addition, Rohrbach has been considered as the junction station considered. However Dagen raised the city Bergzabern opposition, fearing traffic engineering drawbacks. With regard to the Bergzaberner interests eventually winds was defined as the closest station to the spa town as a branch.
Took place on August 5, 1862 on the opening of the Baden side Maxaubahn mentioned route from Karlsruhe to the right bank of the Rhine near the hamlet Maxau. On March 14, 1864, section winch Maximiliansau was released. This was wriggling Schiffer City (1847 ), Ludwigshafen (1853 ), Neustadt an der Haardt (1855 ) and Homburg ( 1857), the fifth railway junction in the Palatinate. A year later, on May 8, 1865 Closing the gap between Maximiliansau and Maxaubahn in the form of the bridge over the Rhine.
Emergence of the spa line
During the construction of the Maximiliansbahnvon to Bergzabern had complained they had not been connected to the rail network. The resentment was reinforced after the onset of winds in Maximiliansbahn branch line was planned to Karlsruhe and finally opened. In particular, the Bergzaberner Business Association vehemently demanded a railway connection and sent specially in October 1861 a four-member delegation to the Chamber of Deputies to Munich.
1862 emerged the first plans for the construction of a railway line that branch off in winds from the Maximiliansbahn and should extend over Bergzabern, Dahn and Pirmasens up to Zweibrücken. Especially after a rain freight Bergzabern was hoped that the construction of such a route. 1864 finally gave the Bavarian State Ministry of the concession for the design and surveying the route. On September 21, 1868, the Bavarian King Ludwig II gave permission for the construction of the line.
Further development
Already in 1867 the route from New Town was expanded to double track winds up to cater mainly to the needs of the now increased north-south traffic. This measure was done especially against the background that the railways had to fear within the Palatinate by the good economic situation in Europe, especially on the part of Prussia significant competition in terms of long-distance transport. In the wake of the Franco-German war the section between winds and Wissembourg received in 1871, also with a second track. In the following years was taken on the branch line to Karlsruhe on the section to Maximiliansau a second track in operation.
Given the fact that the stations Neustadt and Landau were State - Tefe Count stations in the year, resentment stirred in winds above that this had remained on site so far left out. 1881, the station was finally charged for telegraph Imagined.
"If the rich farming village winds also does not take steps to obtain a telegraph, so is likely to take the Chamber of Commerce but our station. "
Wissembourg again hot end - - After the end of the First World War, the end point of the Maximiliansbahn white castle fell to the Alsace under the Treaty of Versailles in France back. This meant that for express trains and passenger trains by registered luggage in winds henceforth held customs controls.
As part of the reparations section winch Kapsweyer lost the second track by disassembly. 1975 Maximiliansbahn section was shut down to Wissembourg and 1981, the spa line. Thus, the track 1a, from which started the train to Bad Bergzabern was degraded.
Current development (since 1993)
Both routes, however, were reactivated in 1995 and 1997. Until his attitude in 1993, the station also had a great importance in sugar transport. The freight tracks were then also removed.
From 2005 to 2007 the station was modernized by the winds, by increasing the platform and elevators were installed. The platform canopy that was built in a Romanesque style, but remained with the conversion obtained.
On January 10, 2012, a train derailed shortly before reaching the station winds, as one of its bogies jumped off the rails. In the incident itself no one was injured, however, this resulted in that the train service was interrupted for a period of at least five days.
Traffic
Passenger
In the direction of Neustadt run three times per hour trains always leave on platform three. In the opposite direction, at two per hour to Karlsruhe and to Wissembourg. These hold either track one or track two. The hourly trains connecting the spa line depart from platform 2. Similarly, a regular bus route to Bad Bergzabern, mainly the villages that lie away from the spa line operated.
It pervert the RE- line Karlsruhe -Neustadt ( holds generally go only in Landau, winches, Kandel and Wörth, in the rush to some extent in Edenkoben, Karlsruhe- Knielingen, Karlsruhe - Mühlburg and Karlsruhe - West), the RB- line Karlsruhe- Neustadt ( holding, with the exception of Karlsruhe Maxau and Maximiliansau railway road, everywhere) and the RB- line Neustadt- Wissembourg ( holding, with the exception of the section between winds and Landau, everywhere).
Freight traffic
In the first years of its existence, the station was mainly passed from the coal trains of the relation Saar area - Neustadt- Strasbourg- Basel. After opening the way to Karlsruhe they took also the way to the east. In addition, the station for freight mainly by the loading of sugar beets had a great importance. This took place only in the fall. In December 1992, the sugar transport, however, were set and the freight tracks, which were located in the eastern station area mined.
Structures
Reception and outbuildings
The heritage protection station building bears the address Bahnhofstrasse 17/19/21. The southern wing, the 19 and 21 supports the house numbers, was built mainly in 1855 and contains different components of the 19th century. The two-story older part of the building with waiting room cultivation had a floor area of 208 m2 and cost 11,689 guilders. Upstairs was the administrator apartment. As on all stations of Maikammer to Schaidt a small outhouse building was constructed in a simple wood construction with slate roofing here next to the station building.
In the northern part of the building - house number 17 - is it a three-storey Walmdachbau, which originated in the first half of the 1920s, although the three southern axes were previously created on the ground floor. It serves as a reservoir of cardboard and is in a poor condition.
In the canopy of cast-iron platforms were used, which were preserved even after the station modernization from 2005 to 2007. These were prepared by Eisenberger company Gienanth.
In addition, the station had a larger and a smaller outbuildings. The larger was north of the reception building. It is now used as a residence. Before the side of the track which is now mined railway siding 1a was for the trains to Bad Bergzabern. The smaller annex building was demolished at the end of the 2000s due to its poor condition. South of the station building is the former now non-functional toilet house.
