and some regional trains. The station was opened at its current location in 1858. Between 1930 and 1945, Gustavsburg was a district of the city of Mainz and, as a result, the station was renamed ''Mainz-Gustavsburg''. In 1945, the American and French occupying authorities transferred Gustavsburg to American administration and several months later it became part of the new state of Hesse. Although Gustavsburg became a self-governing municipality again as a result, the station is still called Mainz-Gustavsburg.
