Oberwesel station

Oberwesel station is a railway hub on the Rhine route that handles regional and long-distance trains connecting the left bank with other cities. The facility has three platform tracks and infrastructure for buses, bicycles, and car parking for different types of travelers.

The station building opened in 1859 and is an important record of industrialization along the Rhine in the middle of the 19th century. Major changes came in 1907 when administrative offices and dining facilities were added.

The station is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley and shows how rail transport shaped this river region. Visitors can still see this importance in the building's design and how the place connects people and goods today.

Visitors can find ticket machines at the entrance and get information about train connections. The site has parking spaces, bicycle stands, and taxi pickup areas, making it easy to arrive by different means of transport.

The original station building is now partly used as residential space but continues to serve trains. A modern control system installed in 1969 manages the rail traffic, showing how old and new infrastructure work side by side.
