Kelkheim station

Kelkheim station is a railway facility with two tracks and a shared island platform serving the Rhein-Main area. The entrance building features two stories with half-timbered construction, accompanied by a brick storage structure for goods.

This facility opened in 1902 under the name Kelkheim-Fischbach as a combined passenger and freight station. Its design reflected local economic needs, particularly the transport of furniture goods through the region.

The entrance building now houses a restaurant while being protected as a heritage monument. The way this structure serves visitors today shows how old railway stations find new purposes while keeping their historical character.

This station connects to regional transport networks through Hessische Landesbahn and is easy to navigate with its straightforward island platform layout. The entrance building serves as a restaurant, making it convenient for visitors to spend time at the location.

A gantry crane for loading freight operated at the station between 1944 and 1980, serving the busy goods traffic of the era. A narrow-gauge industrial railway system then took over these functions and continued until the 1960s.
