History

Kelsterbach station was built in 1863 at the intersection of the national roads to Mörfelden and Rüsselsheim, at the 23.8 km point of the Main Railway. Since the rail line was built north of the edge of the Kelsterbach fluvial terrace, it was well outside the centre of the village when it was opened. Since 1972, a line has branched off here towards Frankfurt Airport Regional station. Lines S8 and S9 of the Rhine-Main S-Bahn now stop at a modern centrally located covered platform.

Reception building

The entrance building was built in 1863. It is still almost in its original condition and is built in the standard style of the Hessian Ludwig Railway (Hessische Ludwigsbahn). Raunheim station is identical. It is built of red sandstone on a rectangular ground plan as a symmetrical two-story building covered by a gabled roof. The ground floor contained the main hall and a waiting room. In the basement there was a service room and rooms for handling freight. The upper floor housed the apartment of the stationmaster. In front of it is a southern extension with function rooms. The historic station building is now no longer for rail purposes; instead it houses a restaurant. The entrance building is a monument under the Hessian Monument Protection Act. [3]
