Rüdesheim station, Railway station in Rüdesheim am Rhein, Germany.
Rüdesheim (Rhein) station is a neoclassical railway building on the western edge of Rüdesheim am Rhein, Germany. It is a two-storey structure with a stucco facade, classical detailing, and three platforms.
The station opened on 11 August 1856 as the terminus of the Nassau Rhine Railway, connecting Wiesbaden to Rüdesheim for the first time. After decades of decline, the building was later restored.
The building shows the classical style of Prussian railway architecture through its symmetrical facade and evenly spaced windows. The stucco details on the outer walls are still visible today and give the station a formal, measured appearance.
The station sits on the western edge of town but is within walking distance of the center. Early morning or late afternoon tends to be quieter on the platforms.
The Heil brothers bought the run-down building in 2002 and restored it through a private initiative rather than a public program. Their work earned them the Hessian heritage prize in 2007.
