Groß Gerau station

Groß Gerau station is a transport hub with three platform tracks, including a main platform beside the station building and an island platform with freight sidings to the east. The layout combines passenger service with freight operations and serves as a key infrastructure point.

The station opened in 1858 as part of the Hessian Ludwig Railway and initially operated from a wooden hut. A permanent building was constructed in 1868 once rail transport proved essential to the region.

The station building was reconstructed in 1957 following wartime destruction and is protected as a heritage monument. Its postwar architecture shapes the local character and remains a recognizable landmark in daily life.

The station is easily walkable from the town center and clearly signed. Visitors will find regular train departures and clear platform information on site.

The station name is spelled without a hyphen, while the town is called Groß-Gerau. This stems from a 1910 Prussian government order connected to railway funding.
