The station Friedrichsdorf (Taunus) has been undergoing extensive modernisation since June 2022. The aim is to provide travellers and visitors with a comfortable and barrier-free stay at the station in the future and to enable them to change trains when they stop. .
Once the construction work has been completed, travellers and visitors can look forward to extensive modernisations in terms of accessibility at the station Friedrichsdorf (Taunus).
The station Friedrichsdorf (Taunus) has been undergoing modernisation for almost two years. Various measures are being implemented as part of the modernisation to improve barrier-free access to the station. A new ramp is being built on the east side of the station and two new lifts are being installed. Furthermore, platform 1 will be raised so that travellers will be able to board and alight trains stopping on site without steps in future. This is particularly important for people with wheelchairs, pushchairs or bicycles. New roofs will also be fitted to the platforms and a tactile guidance system will be installed to provide better orientation for blind and visually impaired people. The platforms will also be fitted with new display cases and information monitors, modern seating and weather shelters to protect against rain and wind.
Construction work on the station was originally scheduled to be completed in early September 2024, with the new pedestrian underpass due to open in September 2023 or 2024. Unfortunately, the ground conditions proved unsuitable for the installation of the concrete elements required for this purpose, leading to adjustments to the construction work and a need for further planning. Further delays arose due to significant interdependencies within the construction schedule, as well as limited capacity regarding building materials and construction services.
It is now planned to complete all construction work in 2026. Please check your train connection before travelling and allow extra time. We ask for your understanding during the construction period and apologise for any inconvenience caused.
