Frankfurt Galluswarte station


Frankfurt Galluswarte station is a railway station located in the Gallus district of Frankfurt, Germany.

History

The station was opened on 28 May 1978 and is named after a nearby medieval watchtower, which was named after the Galgenfeld. 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.

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.
