Remembering the Sprendlingen-Wöllstein-Fürfeld branch line. The Sprendlingen-Fürfeld railway line of the Süddeutsche Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (SEG) - popularly known as Bawettche - was built between May 1887 and October 1898. The route had a standard gauge of 1432 mm. The first construction phase from Sprendlingen via Badenheim to Wöllstein was opened on October 11, 1888. he route in Rheinhessen Schweiz was used by two tank locomotives, four passenger cars, two freight cars and two railway master cars. The Süddeutsche Eisenbahngesellschaft (SEG) handed over the route to the state of Rhineland-Palatinate in 1953, and the Deutsche Bundesbahn took over the management of the line, which was also the owner from 1959. It ceased passenger services on March 31 of the same year. After that, the rails were only used for freight traffic. At the end of 1958, the Wöllstein – Fürfeld section was closed and the tracks were dismantled. Because of the Wöllstein brick industry, the Sprendlingen – Wöllstein line remained in operation until July 31, 1973. With the construction of the A61 autobahn, the rest of the route was closed because building a bridge seemed too expensive. Today there is a cycling and hiking trail on the route between Wöllstein and Frei-Laubersheim.
