History

The station was opened on 28 May 1978 and is named after a nearby medieval watchtower (the Galluswarte), which was named after the Galgenfeld ("gallows field", a place of execution). It consists of two tracks facing a 96 cm-high central platform on the Homburg Railway and two passing tracks on the Main-Weser Railway. There was formerly a junction at the station with a branch to the now closed main freight yard.

Location

At the southern end of the station, the Main-Weser line divides into ramps towards Frankfurt Central Station, connecting with the Main-Neckar line and the Taunus line.

The station is elevated above the streets of Mainzer Landstraße and Frankenallee. Escalators connect the platform and the two streets.

Services

The station is served by S-Bahn lines S3, S4, S5 and S6. Intercity and regional trains run past on the Main Weser tracks, which have no platforms at Galluswarte.

Below the station in the Mainzer Landstrasse, there is interchange with two tram lines (11 and 21) and one bus line (52).

gollark: I mean, as far as I'm aware basically any *pointery* type can be nil, which is... many of them?
gollark: It is not. *Anything* can be nil.
gollark: Also, it has nil. I mean, seriously.
gollark: The poor type system and general "make it mostly work" attitude leads to some amount of unsoundness in APIs.
gollark: Go is not focused on not messing up. They tend to mess up in exciting and bizarre ways.
