history
With the opening of the Wabern - Fritzlar -Bad Wildungen section, which is still in operation today, on July 15, 1884, the Bad Wildungen terminus was officially opened. Bad Wildungen was the end of the line from Wabern for a good 25 years, until the line to Buhlen was completed on February 1, 1909 . In 1912 Korbach and 1917 Brilon ( Brilon Wald train station ) in the Hochsauerland were reached. This completed the entire connection.
The Wabern – Korbach section was used as an alternative route during the Second World War , primarily for the connection from Kassel to the Ruhr area , for goods and passenger traffic. In a bombing raid on the Selbach Viaduct on March 18, 1945 , it was so badly damaged that train traffic had to be stopped. In July 1945, the roughly one-year repair phase began, until trains were able to cross the bridge again from July 22, 1946.
By the year 1991, an inverted D-train -pair Bad Wildungen- Amsterdam on the route.
The freight between Korbach and Bad Wildungen was discontinued on January 1, 1992nd
On May 27, 1995, traffic between Bergheim - Giflitz and Korbach was permanently blocked due to bridge structures in need of renovation and shut down a year later. Thereafter, the Bad Wildungen - Bergheim-Giflitz - Hemfurth-Edersee route was used for excursion traffic, using the E.ON connecting railway track leading to the Waldeck pumped storage power station between Bergheim-Giflitz and Hemfurth-Edersee . Due to the need for rehabilitation of the line, this traffic was stopped on October 3, 2001. A reactivation is still under discussion. Since then, the Wabern - Bad Wildungen line has been a simple branch line .
At the 2008/2009 timetable change in December 2008, the route was taken over by the Kurhessenbahn . The Kassel-Naumburg Railway (KNE) had previously carried out operations.
With the start of the 2015/2016 winter timetable in December 2015, the trains previously only running between Wabern, Fritzlar and Bad Wildungen were tied through via Wabern to Kassel Hbf . Since then there have been direct connections between Bad Wildungen and Kassel every two hours .
