Riedstadt-Goddelau station, Railway station in Riedstadt, Germany
The Riedstadt-Goddelau station sits at the junction of two major railway lines, connecting the Rhine-Main region with both regional and local train services. The 19th-century building still defines the character of Goddelau today.
The station opened in 1869 under the name Goddelau-Erfelden, serving the two communities from its beginning. Over the following decades, it grew in importance as a link between Frankfurt and Mannheim.
The building stands as a protected monument with the typical features of 19th-century railway architecture. Visitors can observe the historical building elements and craftsmanship visible in the station's exterior.
The station building is easily accessible on foot with waiting areas and seating for passengers. Information boards display current timetables and connections.
From 1870 to 1900, a ferry service connected the station across the Rhine before a permanent bridge was built. This historical transport route is now hard to imagine standing at the platform today.
