Frankfurt-Frankfurter Berg station (German: Bahnhof Frankfurt-Frankfurter Berg) is a railway station located in the Frankfurter Berg district of Frankfurt, Germany. The station is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 5 station and part of the Main–Weser Railway. The station was called Bonames until 1996.

History

The station under the name Bonames on a route map of 1980 (top right)

The station was built near the former independent village of Bonames, which is 1,500 metres away. Bonames became part of Frankfurt in 1910. The station building was built between 1911 and 1914 and is oriented towards the northwest and the village. It is a neo-baroque building and is listed as a monument under the Hessian Heritage Act. In 1996 parts of Bonames, Eschersheim and Berkersheim were merged into a new city district (Frankfurter Berg) and the station was renamed.

The station also formerly handled freight. It was also connected by a siding to a leather dye works.

Services

The station is serviced by line S6 of the Rhine-Main S-Bahn. It features a passing track between the two main line tracks. In addition to the platform adjacent to the entrance building, there is a central platform accessible solely via a pedestrian underpass from the main platform. Pedestrian access to the newly developed Frankfurter Berg district to the south is facilitated by a second pedestrian underpass, albeit without direct platform access. However, this setup poses challenges for individuals with limited mobility. Plans are underway to enhance accessibility by upgrading the Main-Weser Railway from two to four tracks between Frankfurt West and Bad Vilbel stations, which will address these limitations.

Planning

There are plans to extend line U5 of the Frankfurt U-Bahn along Homburger Landstraße to the station, but this would first require the conversion of the existing tram track section to operations with high platforms.
