Infrastructure
The heritage-listed entrance building was built in the early years of the Nahe Valley Railway during the second half of the 19th century. It consists of a two-story main building, built of sandstone ashlar, with eight portals on the long sides, and flanked by single-storey wings with three portals. The three buildings are topped by slated hip roofs.[3]
From 2006 to 2007, the station was rebuilt and now has two 160 metre-long platforms on three platform tracks,[4] lifts and an underpass. In 2012 the park-and-ride area was expanded.[5][6] A “bike-and-ride” facility is located at the station to serve riders on the Nahe cycleway (Nahe-Radweg).[6]
