steam trains and trams in Ludwigshafen, Germany 1900s


The original main station was built in 1847, extended at the  end of the 19th century and seriously damaged in 1945.  It was partially rebuilt in 1954 but a new station was opened in 1969.  The metre-gauge tram system has operated since 1878, today entending to 97 km (encompassing a system for Mannheim across the Rhine) and powered by 750 V DC.
