How Oberursel is planning to re-develop the station area with the help of its citizens

The discussion taking place in Oberursel about the re-development of the station area is not new.  In fact, it has been going on for several decades as Mayor Hans-Georg Brum reminded local residents at a meeting in the Stadthalle this week.  He had even brought along a copy of the 1976 traffic concept to prove it!

But whilst some members of the town council may still be reminding people of how expensive the plan was to put a tunnel under the Nassauer Straße and join the road coming from Bad Homburg with the Weingärten by-pass, others – indeed a group of ordinary people from the town – had brought along suggestions of their own.

Discuss the future of the station area

There will be a chance to discuss the future of the station area, the “Bahnhofsareal”, with other citizens of Oberursel on Tuesday, 23rd April, 2013 at 7pm in the Stadthalle where a “Bürgerversammlung” is being held.

The area concerned stretches from the flyover at the “Drei Hasen” to the end of the Nassauer Straße which may later join up with the “Weingärtenumgehung”.

During the evening the town’s administration will be informing the people of Oberursel about the current concept for the flow of traffic in the area and giving them a chance to put forward their own opinions about it.

Historic Steam Train pulled by 01 118 in Oberursel

A train of historic coaches pulled by steam train 01 118 stopped at Oberursel’s station this morning (Sunday, 14th April, 2013) to pick up passengers for a trip to Gießen via Friedrichsdorf, Friedberg and Bad Nauheim.

The lokomotive, 01 118, was built in Essen in 1934 and spent much of its life working for the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the GDR.

The tale of the Ausziehgleis and the Pförtnerampel

One of the most hotly discussed topics in Oberursel this month must surely be the re-development of an area called the “Bahnhofsareal”.  Roughly speaking, that is the area between the flyover at the “Drei Hasen” where the Homburger Landstraße meets the Nassauer Straße, and the other end of the Nassauer Straße where it almost – but not quite – joins up with the Weingärtenumgehung.  Not quite, unless you include the temporary road that was put in place for the Hessentag to give residents access to the area.

In the middle of this area is the newly restored station, hence the term “Bahnhofsareal” – the area around the station.

The future of that area is not just being discussed now, it has been a topic of discussion and in the town council for the past 25 years, as Councillor Dr. Eggert Winter of the SPD reminded councillors last week before launching into a blow-by-blow account of the various plans that had been on the cards in that time, including plans for a tunnel under the area and closing the level crossing at the end of the Adenauerallee, and a new station combining both S-Bahn and U-Bahn tracks.

“It is good in part when things take longer, because sometimes you notice that the things that you have decided upon are not good”, he said. [Read more…]

Restricted train services on Saturday

On Saturday, 9th March, 2013 the U-Bahn line U3 will be closed between Bommersheim and Oberursel station from around 9am until 5pm to allow for tree-cutting work to take place.

Trains from Frankfurt will terminate at “Weißkirchen Ost”, from where a replacement bus service will take passengers to the stops between Bommersheim and Hohemark.

Temporary bus stops have been set up near to the train stations and passengers travelling towards Frankfurt should be aware that the buses will leave the Hohemark terminus around 5 minutes earlier than the train would.
