History
The station was opened on 24 November 1839 on the Taunus Railway, the oldest railway in Hesse, opened between 1839 and 1840. The station building was built in 1842.[2] Hattersheim was initially a major hub for the carriage of mail by coach: it had one of the greatest postal operations of the House of Thurn and Taxis.[3] With the opening of the station, the postal operation lost its significance.[3] Hattersheim station is a monument of the Industrial Heritage Trail of the Rhine-Main (Route der Industriekultur Rhein-Main).[4] The Sarotti plant in Hattersheim had its own railway siding.[4]
