Malsfeld station, railway station in Malsfeld, Germany
Malsfeld station is a small railway stop in the town of Malsfeld that features a simple structure built from brick and wood in the late 1800s. The building sits elevated above the tracks and has two platforms where passengers wait for trains on the line connecting Bebra and Guxhagen.
The station opened in 1879 when two railway lines crossed at this location, one running from Bebra to Kassel and another from Niederhone to Treysa. This crossing led to a rare building style called a tower station, where the platforms were situated on different levels.
The station is named after the town of Malsfeld and is woven into the everyday rhythms of the community. It has long served as a gathering point where local residents and visitors mark everyday moments of departure and arrival.
The station is easy to reach, with signs directing travelers from Malsfeld town center to the platform. Train connections here are mainly regional and link Malsfeld with larger cities and smaller towns in the area.
The station was built as a tower station, a rare design where platforms sit on different levels stacked above one another to serve two crossing railway lines. A depot burned down in 1975, leaving little trace of this once-busy infrastructure.
