Frankenstein station

Frankenstein station lies on the Mannheim-Saarbrücken railway line with two platforms serving regional connections across the Palatinate. The neoclassical building dates from the 19th century and remains actively used today.

The facility was built in 1848 as part of the Ludwig Railway line between Kaiserslautern and Frankenstein. It served as an important stop for rail traffic during the region's early industrial growth.

The neoclassical facade shapes the town's character and shows the Italian building style that was typical for Ludwig Railway stations. Visitors recognize this distinctive design right away when arriving at the station plaza.

The station is located at Hauptstraße 9 and is easily reached on foot from the town center. Travelers should note that train times vary throughout the day and it is helpful to check current connections in advance.

Right next to the station is the Schlossberg Tunnel, one of the first railway tunnel structures in the region. Nearby you can also find the ruins of Frankenstein Castle, which are closely linked to the railway route.
