Frankfurt (Oder)-Rosengarten station is located at kilometre 75.0 of the Berlin–Wrocław railway in Frankfurt (Oder) in the German state of Brandenburg. The station has an island platform, which can be reached from a road bridge. It is served by Regional-Express service RE 1.
The station is located in the district of Rosengarten in the city of Frankfurt (Oder) to the west of the urban area. It was built in 1843 as a halt and has since been an important station for the villages lying west of Frankfurt. The station is in a deep cutting just off the main street of Rosengarten, which runs over a bridge from which the central platform of the railway station can be reached by stairs. A line, which ran through the Frankfurt commercial area of Seefichten, located northwest of the centre of the city, ended at the station until 2010. The line had not been in use since about 1990 and was dismantled in 2010.
Autobahn 12 between Berlin and Warsaw runs parallel to the railway near the station. Federal highway 112 runs at right angles to the station between Lebus and Eisenhüttenstadt. The Frankfurt districts of Markendorf and Booßen are accessible from it.
During the building of the line from Berlin to Frankfurt (Oder) in 1841/42, the section through the village of Rosengarten created particular difficulties. The line climbs out of the valley of the Spree from the west, reaching its highest point at Rosengarten and then falls rapidly towards the Oder. The original plan of August Leopold Crelle was modified by the head foreman of the construction, Carl-Friedrich Zimpel in the Rosengarten area so that the ridge could be crossed at a lower point. Originally, the line would have run north of the village, instead a southerly course was implemented.
The line was laid in a 11-metre-deep cutting in Rosengarten so that the descent to Frankfurt station would be only 41 metres. The line went into operation on 23 October 1842. Passenger trains between Berlin and Frankfurt did not stop in the Rosengarten. But the 1843 timetable shows stops in Rosengarten for freight trains that also carried passengers. Later Rosengarten became a regular station.
