Bienwald Railway
The Bienwald is a large forested area in the southern Pfalz region of Germany near the towns of Kandel and Wörth am Rhein. The western edge defines the eastern extent of the Wissembourg Gap, a corridor of open terrain between the Bienwald and the hills of the Palatine Forest. In the northwest, the forest is bounded by the so-called "Cattle Line" (german: Viehstrich), running from Schweighofen to Kandel. In the north, the forest reaches as far as Hatzenbühl and Rheinzabern. The eastern boundary largely runs along the bank of the Rhine from Jockgrim to Hagenbach and Berg (Pfalz). The southern boundary follows the valley of the Lauter along the border of France and Germany. The bulk of the forest belongs to the municipality of Wörth am Rhein. At its greatest extent, the Bienwald is approximately wide along its east–west axis and from north to south. The forest has an area of some . Approximately one-third of the forest is deciduous woodland with the remainder conife ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rülzheim Station
Rülzheim station is a station in the town of Rülzheim in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The original station was opened on 25 July 1876 with the commissioning of the Germersheim– Wörth section of Schifferstadt–Wörth railway. The address of the old entrance building, which is heritage listed, is ''Bahnhofstraße 6''. In the course of the integration of the Germersheim–Wörth section of the line into the network of the Karlsruhe Stadtbahn, it was replaced by a halt (''Haltepunkt'') called ''Rülzheim Bahnhof'' some 300 metres further north. Deutsche Bahn classifies the halt as a category 6 station and it has two platform tracks. It is located on the network of the ''Karlsruher Verkehrsverbund'' (Karlsruhe Transport Association, KVV).

Circle Of The Rhine
The Circle of the Rhine (german: Rheinkreis) or Rhine Circle, sometimes the Bavarian ( or ), was the name given to the territory on the west bank of the Rhine from 1816 to 1837 which was one of 15 (later 8) administrative districts of the Kingdom of Bavaria. Before the French revolutionary wars (1792) most of the land had belonged to the Electoral Palatinate. At the Congress of Vienna in 1815 it was initially promised to the Empire of Austria after having been under a provisional joint Austro-Bavarian administration since 1814. However, in the Treaty of Munich (1816), Austria relinquished the territory to Bavaria. In 1837, the Circle of the Rhine was renamed the Palatinate ().', dated 29 November 1837.

Stadtbahn Karlsruhe
The Karlsruhe Stadtbahn is a German tram-train system combining tram lines in the city of Karlsruhe with railway lines in the surrounding countryside, serving the entire region of the middle upper Rhine valley and creating connections to neighbouring regions. The Stadtbahn combines an efficient urban railway in the city with an S-Bahn (suburban railway), overcoming the boundary between trams and trains. Its logo does not include the green and white S-Bahn symbol used in other German suburban rail systems and the symbol is only used at stops and stations outside the inner-city tram-operation area. The idea to link tram and railway lines with one another in order to be able to offer an attractive transport system for town and outskirts was developed in Karlsruhe and implemented gradually in the 1980s and 1990s, with the system commencing operation in 1992. This idea, known as the ''Karlsruhe model'' or ''tram-train'', has been adapted by other European cities. The Karlsruhe Stadtb ...

Rhine-Neckar S-Bahn
The Rhine-Neckar S-Bahn ''(S-Bahn RheinNeckar)'' forms the backbone of the urban rail transport network of the Rhine Neckar Area, including the cities of Mannheim, Heidelberg and Ludwigshafen. The S-Bahn operates over 437 km of route in the states of Rhineland-Palatinate and Baden-Württemberg, and in small sections in Saarland and Hesse. S-Bahn trains operate about 7.5 million kilometres per year, with 113 stations served by class 425 electric multiple units. Network The S-Bahn is about 440 km long and is one of the largest S-Bahn networks in Germany. The core area is in the states of Rhineland-Palatinate and Baden-Württemberg. At Homburg (Saar), it touches the Saarland and it has three stations in Hesse between Neckarsteinach and Hirschhorn. Four of the seven lines run together on the core Schifferstadt–Ludwigshafen–Mannheim–Heidelberg section. Beyond this main line, the S-Bahn operates over six lines with terminuses in Homburg, Osterburken, Karlsruhe, Germe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Strasbourg–Wörth Railway
The Strasbourg–Wörth railway is a French-German railway, which runs in the French region of Grand Est and the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The route was opened on 15 May 1876 and was at that time completely within the German Empire. From 1906 to 1914 it was part of the European long-distance transport network. Long-distance services ended as a result of the First World War and the resulting return of Alsace to France. As a result, the remaining part of the line in Germany also lost importance. This resulted in the closure of passenger services between Wörth and Berg in 1984. In 2002, passenger traffic between Wörth and Lauterbourg was reactivated, although no through services currently run through to Strasbourg. Since its reactivation, the German section of the route has also been designated for marketing purposes as the Bienwaldbahn (Bienwald Railway), since it runs along the eastern edge of the Bienwald. Meanwhile, it still plays an important role in the tr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Winden–Karlsruhe Railway
The Winden–Karlsruhe railway is a mainline railway in the German states of Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate, which in its present form has existed since 1938 and is electrified between Wörth (Rhein) station, Wörth and Karlsruhe Hauptbahnhof, Karlsruhe. The current Winden, Germersheim, Winden–Wörth section was opened in 1864. A year later, the gap between the Rhine and the Maxau Railway (''Maxaubahn''), which had been opened in 1862, was closed. The route of the latter was changed during the relocation of the Karlsruhe Hauptbahnhof. New sections of the line were also built between Wörth and Mühlburg mainly in connection with the commissioning of a fixed bridge over the Rhine. The latter work significantly increased its importance. Today the route is operated together with the Neustadt an der Weinstraße, Neustadt–Winden section of the Neustadt–Wissembourg railway as timetable route 676. Several lines of the Karlsruhe Stadtbahn also run between Wörth and Karl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
