'''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 (Main) Hauptbahnhof|Frankfurt]] and [[Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof|Wiesbaden]].
== History==
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]].<ref>according to other sources: 1839</ref><ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=L9hUAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA251 |title=Gedenk-Buch der vierten Jubelfeier der Erfindung der Buchdruckerkunst in Mainz |first1=F. |last1=Baur |first2=H. |last2=Malten |first3=J. |last3=Wetter |date=1840 |accessdate=28 April 2018 |postscript=&nbsp;(in chapter 20: Taunus-Eisenbahn, p. 251) |pages=249ff |language=de}}</ref>
Services on line [[S1 (Rhine-Main S-Bahn)|S1]] of the [[Rhine-Main S-Bahn]] have stopped in Flörsheim since the network started operating  in May 1978.
== Entrance building==
The core of the [[Neoclassical architecture|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,<ref>{{cite book|first=Silvia |last=Speckert |title=Ignaz Opfermann (1799–1866): Ausgewählte Beispiele seiner Bautätigkeit im Umkreis der Stadt Mainz |publisher=[[Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz]] |location=Mainz |date=1989|page=69|language=de}} (thesis for Magister Artium; typewritten. Stadtarchiv Mainz: 1991/25 No. 11)</ref> but it was altered later. Thus its core forms one of the oldest preserved entrance buildings in Germany.<ref name="Eisenbahn in Hessen">{{cite book|first=Heinz |last=Schomann|title= Eisenbahn in Hessen. Kulturdenkmäler in Hessen. Denkmaltopographie Bundesrepublik Deutschland |editor=Landesamt für Denkmalpflege Hessen |publisher=Theiss Verlag | location=Stuttgart |year=2005 |volume=2 |issue=1|page=37 | isbn =3-8062-1917-6|language=de}}</ref> 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.<ref name="denkx">{{cite web|url=http://denkxweb.denkmalpflege-hessen.de/68981/|title=Bahnhof Flörsheim|publisher=Landesamt für Denkmalpflege Hessen|language=de|accessdate=28 April 2018}}</ref> 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.<ref name="denkx"/><ref name="Eisenbahn in Hessen"/>
