Treysa station () is a train station in Schwalmstadt, Hesse, on the MainâÂÂWeser Railway. It was formerly a railway junction, connecting to the LeinefeldeâÂÂTreysa section of the Cannons Railway ().
The station is frequented by 2,500 passengers daily. The station is classified by Deutsche Bahn (DB) as a category 4 station.
A small railway station was built in Treysa during the construction of the MainâÂÂWeser Railway (KasselâÂÂFrankfurt am Main) in 1850. It was located about one kilometre northeast of the present station. It was built as a neoclassical brick building in 1847/48 according to the plans of the Kassel architect Julius Eugen Ruhl. This station was expanded during the construction of the LeinefeldeâÂÂTreysa railway (via Eschwege), which was opened in 1876 as a section of the strategic railway between Berlin and Metz, called the Cannons Railway (Kanonenbahn).
This station (now also called the Alter Bahnhof, "Old Station") was too small to allow the connection of the Bad HersfeldâÂÂTreysa railway (known as the Knüllwaldbahn), which was completed in 1907. So a new station was built south of the former station. It was opened on 1 October 1908. The new station was served by express trains and there were connections to Bad Hersfeld and to Eschwege. Platform tracks 1 and 2 were used by the MainâÂÂWeser Railway, track 3 was used by overtaking trains, track 4 was used for services to and from Eschwege and track 5 for services to and from Bad Hersfeld. A freight yard with a roundhouse and a turntable was built south of the passenger station.
Since the early 1980s, both of the lines branching in Treysa, the former Cannons Railway and the Bad HersfeldâÂÂTreysa railway, were gradually closed. In the case of the Cannons Railway, passenger services between Treysa and Malsfeld were closed on 30 May 1981, the last daily freight service that still operated between Treysa and Homberg (Efze) was terminated on 25 June 2002. Passenger services on the Bad HersfeldâÂÂTreysa railway from Treysa to Oberaula were abandoned on 1 June 1984 and freight traffic ended in late 1995. Thus, there are now only rail connections towards Kassel and Marburg.
The station is within the tariff zone of the North Hesse Transport Association (Nordhessischer Verkehrsverbund, NVV). In the direction of GieÃÂen the section from Neustadt is within the tariff zone of the Rhine-Main Transport Association (Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund, RMV).
Treysa station is served at 4-hour intervals by Intercity trains on line 26 (BremenâÂÂHanoverâÂÂFrankfurtâÂÂKarlsruhe). There are also Regional-Express services every two hours between Frankfurt and Kassel (RE 30) and the Mittelhessen-Express service runs at hourly intervals between Treysa and Frankfurt. In the 2026 timetable, the following services stop at the station:
Even today, track 1 and 2 are served by the MainâÂÂWeser Railway. Trains that do not begin or end in Treysa use these tracks. Track 3 is used by the Mittelhessen-Express, which begins and ends here. Track 5 is now used mostly as a through track, when all the other tracks are in use.
There is a bus station in front of the station building, which is served by buses to Frielendorf, Homberg and to the surrounding villages.
