Does anyone know if the train station is at the airport in Frankfurt?
if so what terminal is it near?

Thanks everyone.

There are multiple Frankfurt stations.

The airport station is

Frankfurt(Main)Flughafen

at the German railways site:

Frankfurt(Main)Hbf is the main station.

("Main" in these station names doesn't mean main. It means it's on the River Main, as opposed to Frankfurt on the Oder River, in Eastern Germany.)

It is below the airport - on arrival from overseas you are doing immigration and such, and after you walk out of customs (pick the green exit if you have nothing to declare), there are signs right there. English is used, too, but in German a train station is a Bahnhof, the principal (and usually central) station is the Hauptbahnhof (abbr. Hbf), a train is a Zug, in the plural Züge, a carriage is a Wagen, a seat is a Sitz or Sitzplatz. Number is Nummer.

The Frankfurt airport station is quite a large station, some platforms are for local and regional trains, others for long-distance fast trains, but no matter which train you pick, the timetables (and the agent who sells you a ticket if you don't use the vending machine) will tell what platform it leaves from.

Note the, contrary to France and Italy, in Germany there is no mandatory seat reservation.

Timetables etc. at www.bahn.de

Hope this helps.

Sorry, I didn't fully answer your question: The trains are not near one or the other terminal, the terminals (concourses) feed into the central complex - look at this map:

And - Platform is Bahnsteig, track is Gleis or Geleise.

Happy trails.

It is absolutely easy to navigate the train system in Frankfurt. Just follow the large signs at the airport; the station is down stairs and there is an escalator.

You can access multiple towns from the airport so if you are going someplace other than Frankfurt you may be able to buy your tickets at the airport and not go into Frankfurt proper.

If you're going to the main station in Frankfurt the trains leave the airport every 15 minutes and take about 10 minutes to the station.

I was very impressed by the Frankfurt transportation system.

BTW - you don't have to validate your train/tram tickets so don't bother looking for a validation machine.

Thank you everyone very helpful imf.

FWIW, if your train tickets are first class, there is a lounge area with complimentary drinks, seating and work areas, toilet facilities, etc. A nice place to relax if you have to wait more than 20 minutes or so for your train.
