Flörsheim (Main) station is the station of Flörsheim am Main in the German state of Hesse. It lies on the Taunus Railway, which connects Frankfurt and Wiesbaden.
Florsheim station was opened on 13 April 1840 with the Taunus Railway, which was one of the first railways in Germany and ran between the Free City of Frankfurt and the capital of the Duchy of Nassau, Wiesbaden.[2] [3]
Services on line S1 of the Rhine-Main S-Bahn have stopped in Flörsheim since the network started operating in May 1978.
The core of the Neoclassical entrance building at Florsheim dates back to the construction of the station. It was built in 1839 to a design of the Mainz district architect Ignaz Opfermann,[4] but it was altered later. Thus its core forms one of the oldest preserved entrance buildings in Germany.[5] The original building was a functional building with a symmetrical design and a gabled roof, which is typical of the old stations on the Taunus Railway.
In 1875, the upper floor was added as the station master's apartment and a wooden goods shed with a typical cantilevered roof was also built. On the ground floor there was a ticket office, a supervisor's room and an office for handling goods. The pedestrian subway was built around 1910.[6] The station precinct is part of the Route of Industrial Heritage of the Rhine-Main: Hessian Lower Main (Route der Industriekultur Rhein-Main Hessischer Unterer Main).
After the renovation of the building, the Flörsheim municipal offices moved into the historic station building. It also contains a shop and an apartment. The former goods shed now houses a club for children and youth.
The entrance building is listed as a cultural monument under the Hessian heritage law.[6] [5]

Tracks 1 and 2 are used by S-Bahn services running via Hattersheim, Frankfurt-Höchst, Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof, the Frankfurt and Offenbach city tunnels, Obertshausen and Rodgau to Ober-Roden (track 1) and to Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof via Hochheim and Mainz-Kastel (track 2).

The access to additional sidings (which were often used for trains running to/from a tank farm) and the loading ramp and the loading road were separated during the construction of an underpass between 2011 and 2013.
