New Train Station

Homburg was connected to the railway network relatively late, and the connection to Frankfurt was only built in 1860. Another connection to the Taunus region from Usingen came about in 1895. Based on the route, the two rail lines each had their own station, the Alter Bahnhof (Old Train Station) on Louisenstraße Road, and about 100 meters away on its extension, the Usingen Station. This situation made traveling from Hintertaunus (Farther Taunus) and Wetterau to the Rhein-Main region difficult and, in 1900, led to the idea of building a new station that would connect the two lines. After long discussions between the city and the Prussian state railway administration about the location, Ritter von Marx and Louis Jacobi were finally able to achieve their goal. Between 1904 and 1907, the current train station was built in the German Renaissance Revival style, which incorporated elements of regional half-timbered construction. As the main station, it not only connected the individual train lines, but also handled freight transport. Therefore, it had a reception building with a clock tower, a water tower, its own operations building, the Fürstenbahnhof (Prince Train Station), as well as a freight building and a coal shed.
