|} The Rodgau Railway ((ドイツ語:Rodgaubahn)) is a railway line that runs from Offenbach Central Station (''Offenbach am Main Hauptbahnhof'') via Rodgau to Rödermark-Ober-Roden in the German state of Hesse. The name ''Rodgaubahn'' is derived from the medieval name of ''Rodgau'', part of the former ''Maingau'' (Main district), which the line passes through for its whole length. ==History== Since about 1870 there were serious proposals from local interest groups for the building of a railway to open up the Rodgau, but at first the government of the Grand Duchy of Hesse did not respond to them. An ''Eisenbahncomitée'' (railway committee) was formed after the first, unsuccessful initiative in 1877. But this took four years to get a response from Darmstadt, the capital of the Duchy, during which the committee carried out preparatory work for an Offenbach–Reinheim railway project at its own expense. It took until 1888 before the government gave final approval and after further discussions about the connection of the railway in Offenbach with the Prussian state railways in 1895, planning permission was granted. It was decided that the line would have its own station in Offenbach south of the Prussian state railways' station. The line was built by the Grand Duchy of Hesse State Railways. On 30 September 1896, the new line (now line number 3661) was opened from Offenbach via Dieburg to Reinheim with a length of 42.2 kilometres. In the following years the Rodgau Railway was connected to two other railways: *On 1 December 1898, a branch line was opened from Offenbach-Bieber, the Offenbach-Bieber–Dietzenbach railway. *On 1 April 1905, a connection was opened in Ober-Roden to the new Dreieich railway (''Dreieichbahn'') from Buchschlag. In 1923, the railway was built on an embankment in the city of Offenbach in order to remove level crossings with streets. This involved the rebuilding of the central station in Offenbach as a single station and the abandonment of the Rodgau Railway’s own station. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rodgau Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
