History

The station was established in the course of construction of the Nassau Rhine Valley Railway Wiesbaden - Rüdesheim - Oberlahnstein as Biebrich Bahnhof Mosbach. The track and the train station were taken on August 11, 1856 for public transport in operation. The station was renamed several times and carried the names Biebrich Central Station and since the incorporation Biebrichs to Wiesbaden in 1926, the designations Wiesbaden South and Wiesbaden-Biebrich.

Operation

Operationally, the station was initially quite significant. Here met the Nassau Rhine Valley line by then- Taunus station, and later the Wiesbaden Central Station, from Wiesbaden coming to the connecting curve between the Rhine Valley Railway and the Taunus Railway to Frankfurt am Main. So there was a time even through car runs between Wiesbaden and Biebrich for trains between the Rhine Valley and Frankfurt, whose term avoided Wiesbaden and its terminal stations.
