Sankt Ingbert station (German: Bahnhof Sankt Ingbert) is a railway station in St. Ingbert, in the federal state of Saarland in Germany. The station was opened in 1867, with the concourse in its current form opening in 1879. It is located on the edge of the town centre, one stop away from the central bus station. The station is ranked as a class 3 station and is served by several Regional-Express and Regionalbahn services operated by Deutsche Bahn.
The old station building from 1867 in which there is now a restaurant.
According to historical documents the first station building was built in 1867, during the construction of the Palatine Ludwig Railway between Homburg and St. Ingbert. For several years the station remained a terminus, and it was not until the 1870s when a line to Saarbrücken was constructed. Because of an increase in passengers a new station building was also necessary. The building which is still in use today is situated on the south side of the platforms opposite its predecessor.
Interregio servicesedit
From the early 1970s the station was a stop for Interregio fast trains operating to destinations as far as Berlin and Paris as well as semi-fast and stopping regional services. However, after a timetable change in 1991 and the introduction of an Interregio service between Stuttgart and Frankfurt-am-Main the services were cancelled completely.
Architectureedit
St. Ingbert station is a typical example of the style used in Saarland stations at the time. The most prominent aspect of this can be found in the arched windows on the ground floor and the rectangular ones on the first floor. Additionally, the sobriety of the design and the lack of vertical structure are typical. However, the single entrance through an avant-corps is unusual.[4]
Current operationsedit
An Intercity-Express train passes through the station. The only services that stop here are shorter-distance regional services. The old station building is on the left.
