History

The station was opened on 15 April 1869 under the name Goddelau-Erfelden. Then as now, it served two districts of Riedstadt, Goddelau and Erfelden. On 29 May 1869, the prime minister of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, Carl Friedrich Freiherr von Dalwigk, opened the first section of the Hessian Ludwig Railway’s Darmstadt–Worms railway, from Darmstadt Ludwig station via Goddelau and Biblis to Rosengarten station, on the opposite side of the Rhine to Worms.[3] From there, the Worms-Rosengarten train ferry operated over the Rhine from 1870 to 1900, when it was replaced by a bridge across the Rhine. This was the first section of the Riedbahn (Ried Railway), which runs through an area called the Hessische Ried, hence the name.

The line from Biblis to the Mannheim suburb of Waldhof was opened in October 1879, so that the route to Mannheim ended not at Mannheim Central Station, but at the Riedbahnhof, north of today's Kurpfalz Bridge. In November 1879, the (then) branch line from Goddelau to Frankfurt was opened.

In 1975, the railway between Darmstadt and Goddelau was closed due to lack of traffic and partly dismantled. All that remains of the line is a siding from Darmstadt to Weiterstadt-Riedbahn, where the line ends.

As a result of the incorporation of the former twin town of Goddelau-Wolfskehlen in the newly founded city of Riedstadt, Goddelau-Erfelden station was renamed as Riedstadt-Goddelau on 1 January 1977.

Operations

Riedstadt lies on the network organised by the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (Rhine-Main Transport Association, RMV).
