Kelkheim station, Railway station and cultural heritage monument in Kelkheim, Germany.
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.

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.
