Eppstein station

Eppstein station sits in the narrow Lorsbach valley and has two platforms with the Schwarzbach stream rerouted during its construction. The facility combines period architecture with modern transportation functions serving daily commuters.

The station on the Main-Lahn Railway opened on October 15, 1877, beginning with a temporary entrance building. A new historicist structure replaced it in 1903 and remains the focal point of the station today.

The station building, freight shed, and retaining wall are protected monuments under Hessian heritage law and form an important part of the town's identity. These elements reflect how the railway shaped local life and community development.

The station is accessible via the S2 line of the Rhine-Main S-Bahn, connecting Frankfurt with surrounding towns throughout the day. Modern amenities including a restaurant are available for visitors and passengers.

The station received the German Railway Station of the Year award in 2018 following renovations that transformed it into a mobility center. This transformation shows how a heritage building can serve contemporary transportation needs.
