Hochspeyer station

Hochspeyer station is a railway station in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It is located on the Mannheim–Saarbrücken railway, which essentially consists of the Palatine Ludwig Railway. It became a junction station on 29 October 1870, with the opening of the Alsenz Valley Railway (Alsenztalbahn) to Winnweiler. Since December 2003, it has also been a stop for lines S1 and S2 of the Rhine-Neckar S-Bahn. The station is located in the network of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein- Neckar (Rhine-neckar transport association, VRN) and belongs to fare zone 100. Its address is Bahnhofstraße 1. It was originally known as Neuhoch Speyer or Neu-Speyer (neu means "by the railway" or "neuhoch" in German). The name was changed to Hochspeyers due to confusion over the route of the line.
