Story of Solmsbach Valley Railway
Exactly 110 years ago, the first locomotives wheezed through the Solmsbach valley. The villages in the outlying valley thus found a national connection.
Waldsolms-Brandoberndorf - On November 1st, 1912 - now 110 years ago - the Solmsbachtalbahn went into operation from Grävenwiesbach via Albshausen to Wetzlar. The 24.5-kilometer route was initially used by twelve trains a day in both directions. The villages in the outlying valley thus found a national connection. Passenger and freight transport ensured a long-awaited upswing in the region.
