It was opened as part of the Taunus Railway, which was opened in 1839/40. The station was opened as part of the last stage of construction of the line to Wiesbaden and was opened on 19 May 1840. == History == Originally, the station was called ''Biebrich Curve'' and it was later renamed ''Biebrich Ost''. With the incorporation of Biebrich into Wiesbaden, the "Ost" (east) was retained in the name of the station, but "Biebrich" was replaced by "Wiesbaden", leading to the current name of the station, although it is in the south of Wiesbaden. On 3 August 1840, a 1.5 kilometre spur line was opened that branched off from here to the Biebrich Rhine station in Biebrich to connect the Taunus Railway with the free port on the Rhine. The ''Sackbahnhof'' (sack station) on the Rhine shore was in the immediate vicinity of Nassau’s main customs office and from 1839 allowed the immediate clearance of goods transported from Höchst am Main (the temporary rail head on the Taunus Railway) to Biebrich through customs for shipping on the Rhine. This led to a dispute in 1841 with the neighbouring Grand Duchy of Hesse (including an incident called the ''Nebeljungenstreich''—fog prank—when Mainz merchants sabotaged the port at Biebrich), as Mainz was at a disadvantage because it lacked of a direct rail connection to Frankfurt. The railway was horse-drawn until 1872 and shut down in 1907. Part of the line is used as a siding. From 18 September 1862 there was a connection from Curve station to the Nassau Rhine Railway of the Nassau Rhine Railway Company (''Nassauische Rhein Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft''), which since 1856 had run down the Rhine through the Rheingau and later connected to Oberlahnstein and Bad Ems. The neo-baroque entrance building that was built in 1906 is now privately owned. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wiesbaden Ost station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
