Gelnhausen station, Railway station in Gelnhausen, Germany.
Gelnhausen station is a railway facility on the Frankfurt-Gottingen line in Hesse, designed in Romanesque Revival style with colored sandstone and characteristic gables. The complex includes four platform tracks and serves as a connection point for passengers traveling to the Vogelsberg and Spessart regions.
The station building opened in 1867 to connect the town to the Frankfurt-Bebra railway company's network. Its Romanesque Revival facade took shape in 1882, while a water tank from 1937 later became an integral part of the complex.
The station building stands out with its colored sandstone facade and three pointed gables that recall medieval architecture. Visitors immediately notice this elaborate craftsmanship, which makes the station feel like more than just a transport hub.
The station offers bicycle parking, taxi stands, and real-time departure boards for passenger information at the platforms. Visitors should know the complex is easily walkable and suits both quick connections and longer waits.
The building layout follows an H-shaped floor plan, which is unusual for railway stations of this period and uses space efficiently. The preserved water tank from 1937 still stands within the station grounds and shows the technical infrastructure from the steam locomotive era.
