Bahnhof Wiesbaden-Dotzheim, Railway station and cultural monument in Dotzheim, Wiesbaden, Germany.
Bahnhof Wiesbaden-Dotzheim is a railway station building with a half-timbered gable roof located in the Dotzheim district at 195 meters elevation. Inside, museum spaces display historical railway posters and information about the line's past operations.
The station building was constructed in 1905, replacing the original structure that opened with the Aartalbahn line in 1889. This rail connection between Wiesbaden and Langenschwalbach shaped the district's development for many decades.
The station square is named after Moritz Hilf, the railway line's planner, reflecting local pride in this transport connection. Visitors today experience how the building remains tied to the region's railway heritage through its ongoing museum function.
Regular passenger services stopped in 1983, so the site now functions as a museum rather than an active station. Visitors should note that the building does not open every day, so checking hours ahead of a visit is advisable.
From 1948 to 1961, the station square served as a trolleybus terminal, showing how the area's transport evolved. This period bridges two different eras of public transit in one location.
