Ehem. Bahnhof Landesdenkmal

Ehem. Bahnhof Landesdenkmal stands beside Biebricher Allee in Wiesbaden, where the street meets the former Aartalbahn line. The former railway stop connected the city with Bad Schwalbach and Diez, while the route east divided towards Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof and Wiesbaden Ost. Across the railway line, Henkell-Schloss provides a prominent neighbouring landmark.

The station opened in 1907 for passengers, luggage, express goods and parcels on the Aartalbahn. A railway telegraph connection followed soon afterwards, and roughly 10,000 passengers used the stop during its first winter season. Passenger services between Wiesbaden and Bad Schwalbach ended in 1983, after the line had operated since 1889. The former entrance building now serves as a kindergarten operated by the Obermayr private school and remains a cultural monument under Hessian protection law.

Its architecture combines a red sandstone base, light plastered walls and a double gable roof covered with slate. From Biebricher Allee, a covered staircase once led down to the platform in a cutting through the ground. That change in level still explains the building’s distinctive position between the busy avenue and the former railway corridor.
