Frankfurt-Mainkur station is located on the Frankfurt-Hanau Railway between Frankfurt East station and Hanau Central Station in the Frankfurt district of Fechenheim in the German state of Hesse. The station is classified by Deutsche Bahn (DB) as a category 5 station.
The station is located on the northern edge of the historic town of Fechenheim, on a street called An der Mainkur, which connects to a set of traffic islands on the Hanauer Landstrasse (“Hanau highway”) at the site of the former Main Cur customs house on the border between Frankfurt and the Electorate of Hesse (and earlier the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel). This location now has a tram stop of the Frankfurt network. Main Cur is now spelt as Mainkur. The Vilbeler Landstraße (“Vilbel highway”) runs north from the station. It formerly crossed a level crossing immediately west of the station, which is now closed. An underpass, however, allows pedestrian and bicycle traffic to pass under the line.
The original station building was opened in 1847 during the construction of the Frankfurt-Hanau Railway. Until the end of the War of 1866, when the Electorate of Hesse and the Free City of Frankfurt were annexed by Prussia, the station was a border station on the border between the two countries with customs clearance. The current station building and freight shed were created between 1913 and 1918.
Frankfurt-Mainkur station is managed by DB Station&Service. The station building has been closed for years. The main hall is used by the L'Etoile restaurant for art exhibitions. Tickets are available only at the Rhine-Main Transport Association (Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund, RMV) machines.
