The Mainz Roman Theatre Station (formerly Mainz Süd ) is after Mainz Train Station, the second largest train station in the Rhineland-Palatinate state capital Mainz.

History

Mainz Roman Theatre is the third name of this station. Until the change of timetable 2006/2007 in December 2006, he was called Mainz Süd. It was opened as a station Mainz- Neuthor the Rhine -Main Railway from Mainz Darmstadt to Aschaffenburg. The path went between Mainz and Darmstadt on August 1, 1858 in operation. By the year 1862, when the South Bridge was put into operation, they took advantage of a ferry crossing of the Rhine. The railway Mainz- Ludwigshafen was added later.

Reception building and the surrounding area

The last existing reception building was north of the platforms built in 1884 and largely demolished in 2006. It was a brick building, designed by Philipp Johann Berdelle. The ground floor had arched porches, which continued in the arcade of the lower window Ostanbaus. The main building had two storeys, recordings whose rectangular window from red sandstone Renaissance forms. Following the construction of commercial buildings at the station, the listed façade of the old building is still preserved in the direction of train tracks. This facade was incorporated into the new building.

Are preserved to this day the historic cast-iron columns with fluted shafts and composite capitals of platform roofing in historicist style from 1861 that have been here probably moved out of the old Ludwig train station in Darmstadt and the second used. They should be renewed until the spring of 2008. However, the total refurbishment of the station can continue to wait. The renovation work at the station should cost around one million euros.

Directly above the station is the Citadel. Directly below the railway station was located at build time the Neutorstrasse barracks. Both buildings had to be bypassed.

The new name of the station since December 2006 is derived from the ruins of the adjacent former Roman theater. The platform of the track 4 intersects the stage area of the ancient theater. During the construction of the railway line this present ground monument was badly damaged and the stage area still over a meter high- demolished down to the ground. The railway line to protect the scale against the landslides retaining wall from the 19th century to allow the excavations of recent years in the theater, partially removed. After lengthy negotiations with Deutsche Bahn, the wall now to be completely demolished by the end of 2012, thus passing through have a clear view of the theater round.
