History
The station was taken as part of the Main track of the Hessian Ludwig Railway in 1863 in operation, the first stretch was opened this year between Bishop Home and Goldstein. He was wearing the name Goldstein, later: Frankfurt- Goldstein. 1879 here Riedbahn was connected to Mannheim. Thus, the station evolved into an important railway junction. From the eponymous village Goldstein he was secluded positioned in Frankfurt's city forest, too far away to gain importance in passenger transport. In 1925, near the station, the Frankfurt Forest stadium opened (today: Commerzbank - Arena). The station was then renamed in 1937 in Frankfurt- sports field. Another name change took place in the run-up to the Football World Cup 2006 to the expected international audience to be fair, the timetable change in December 2005, when he received his present name.

Construction
The first phase of the first stage of development was started in early 2005 and ended in April 2007. In June 2008, the electronic interlocking was put into operation. During the first stage of the railway station with the new track connection between Main and Riedbahn on the west side of a wedge was converted to a junction station. Work on the second phase of the first stage began in March 2008 and expected to run until the end of 2014. The entire first phase of expansion with a total investment of 78 million euros provides for a reorganization of the track systems with separation of traffic.
In a second stage, to be started in 2015, aims to eliminate bottlenecks and the introduction of the new line Rhein / Main Rhein / Neckar be enabled. Purpose is to create a new route between the station and the branch Gutleuthof ( including a new bridge over the Main ); while the single-track link Niederrad Forest house is to be run without crossing. Long-distance transport should therefore be focused in the future on the south side of Frankfurt's main railway station, the regional trains on the north side. At the 120 - million - euro project also includes a third low wheel bridge. In April 2013, the Darmstadt Regional Council initiated the consultation process for the second construction phase. The expansion is scheduled to begin in 2016, 240 million euros will be invested for this purpose.
In a third stage of expansion, as part of the new line Rhein / Main Rhein / Neckar, new tracks between Frankfurt stadium and Zeppelinheim arise and the traffic to and from Mannheim are consistently separated from the traffic flows to and from the airport. In addition to be built to freight a height- free connection between the Riedbahn and the route to Frankfurt Süd.
