Lindenholzhausen station

Lindenholzhausen station is a station on the Main-Lahn Railway, which runs from Frankfurt (Main) Hauptbahnhof to Limburg (Lahn), in the Limburg an der Lahn suburb of Lindenholzhausen in the German state of Hesse.

History

The Main-Lahn Railway was opened to Lindenholzhausen in 1875 and the whole line was completed to Limburg in 1877. The initially single-track Haltepunkt (halt) of Lindenholzhausen was opened on 1 February 1875 together with the Eschhofen–Niederselters section. The duplication of the line began in 1911 and it was completed in 1913. As a result, there were two directional platform tracks in Lindenholzhausen. The Niedernhausen–Limburg section, including Lindenholzhausen station, was electrified in 1986.
