Services

Andernach station is the transportation hub of the city of Andernach in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It is a mid-sized station with thousands of passengers each day. It is currently classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 3 station. It has four passenger platforms (tracks 1, 2, 3 and 24), three with a length of more than 280 m,[4] and sidings and freight tracks.[5] It is on the Left Rhine line (German: Linke Rheinstrecke) and is the terminus of the Cross Eifel Railway (Eifelquerbahn). In addition to passenger operations, the station has container and freight operations to the east of the station, particularly serving the tin plate manufacturer, Rasselstein.

In the station forecourt, there is a bus station, served by all city buses and regional bus services to Mayen, Neuwied and Ochtendung. The regional bus service to Maria Laach stops 50 metres from the bus station.

The station is currently being modernised. It is planned to increase the height of the central platform for its entire length to 76 centimetres, modernise the platform roof, provide barrier-free access using lifts, improve the environment, including the bus station, implement bike-and-ride and park-and-ride facilities, and provide new access to the main platform.[6]

History

Andernach received a rail extension of the Rhenish Railway Company’s Left Rhine line from Oberwinter to Weißenthurm on 15 August 1858. On 11 November 1858 the first train ran on the Left Rhine line to Koblenz. A year later, the line was extended to Bingerbrück.

The Eifelquer line from Andernach to Niedermendig was opened for freight on 1 April 1878 and for passengers on 15 May. This line was also owned by the Rhenish Railway Company. On 20 September 1879, the 2.33 km long freight line to Rheinwerft was opened.

All regional and some express trains stopped in Andernach, while most higher-quality passenger trains went by without stopping.

During the Second World War, Andernach station was completely destroyed. It was rebuilt after the war.
