History

Frankfurt (Main) Galluswarte station (German: Bahnhof Frankfurt (Main) Galluswarte) 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 ("gallows field", a place of execution). 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.

Below the station in the Mainzer Landstrasse, there is interchange with two tram lines (11 and 21) and one bus line (52).
