Pirmasens Nord station, Railway station and cultural heritage monument in Pirmasens, Germany
Pirmasens Nord station is located in Thaleischweiler-Fröschen, about 7 kilometers north of Pirmasens in Rhineland-Palatinate, serving the southwestern Palatinate region. The building dates from 1834 and functions as a protected heritage monument while still operating as an active railway junction for the area.
The station opened on November 25, 1875, when the Annweiler-Zweibrücken section of the Queich Valley Railway became operational. It was originally named after the nearby hamlet of Biebermühle before being renamed in 1936.
The station building, dating from 1834, represents nineteenth-century railway architecture and maintains protected status as a cultural heritage monument in Germany.
Regular hourly trains connect the station to Landau, Waldfischbach, and Zweibrücken, making it a busy regional hub. The location offers straightforward access to southwestern Palatinate and surrounding municipalities without complicated transfers.
The station building dates to 1834, making it older than the railway line itself, which opened 41 years later. This unusual timing reveals how the structure predates the rail connection it would eventually serve.
