Hochheim station, Railway station and cultural monument in Hochheim am Main, Germany.
Hochheim station is a passenger railway station in the town of Hochheim am Main, served by the Rhine-Main regional network. The building has two stories with stucco facing and a flat roof, while operations run across three tracks with an island platform.
The station opened on November 24, 1839, as part of the first railway line between Frankfurt and Wiesbaden. This connection allowed the region to reorient itself economically and marked a turning point in local development.
The station building with its clean geometric forms reflects early railway-age architecture and still shapes Hochheim's townscape today. Visitors can read from its simple design how stations were built during this period and what the railway meant for small towns.
The station building is easy to navigate and provides clear signage for passengers traveling toward Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, or the airport. The station surroundings are active and offer standard facilities for waiting travelers.
The building preserves the original form of the Taunus Railway and is one of the few remaining examples of this early construction style in the region. Its intact structure makes it a rare testament to 19th century railway history.
