The Hanweiler train station ( Hanweiler-Bad Rilchingen as a railway authority ) is the train station of the formerly independent community of Rilchingen-Hanweiler , which is now a part of the Saarland community of Kleinblittersdorf . It belongs to station category 6 of the Deutsche Bahn AG (DB) and now has only one platform track and one platform-free track. The station is in the network area of the Saarland Transport Association (saarVV) and is a border station to France . Since 2004, the Hanweiler station has been operating as a purerS-Bahn station in the Saarbahn network (Saarbrücken Stadtbahn).
location
The Hanweiler border station is located roughly in the middle of the center of Rilchingen-Hanweiler. Almost a kilometer to the southeast, the Saarbrücken – Sarreguemines line crosses the Saar on the Prussian Bridge and thus the German / France border .
history
With the law of March 9, 1867, the construction of a railway line from Saarbrücken to Saargemünd was decided. The necessary state treaty between Prussia and France was signed on July 18, 1867. Construction work began in November 1867.
The railway line from Saarbrücken to Saargemünd was built in 1868 and 1870 and inaugurated on July 1, 1870. Rilchingen-Hanweiler received a station building. The name of the station was identified on July 1, 1932 based on the existing spa with Hanweiler-Bad Rilchingen .
After 1935 the station was rebuilt and expanded. The station used to have a large number of tracks because of a wagon workshop , a goods handling hall and a large sawmill . One of the station's two signal boxes was opposite the church .
On June 20, 1960, electrical operation began on the Saarbrücken – Sarreguemines railway line from Saarbrücken main station to Brebach station as one of the first lines in Saarland . It was not until September 11, 1981 that the Brebach – Hanweiler-Bad Rilchingen section (state border) was electrified. From September 1983, continuous electrical operation was also possible up to track A (house platform ) of the Saargemünd train station . The second track between Hanweiler and Saargemünd was dismantled due to a lack of space on the Prussian Bridge.
In 1997 the Saarbahn , a dual-system regional light rail system based on the Karlsruhe model , went into operation and the Saarbrücken – Sarreguemines line was integrated into the system. In this context, the Hanweiler-Bad Rilchingen station was given the simple and short name of Hanweiler in the Saarbahn timetable . The remaining platform of the station did not have to be rebuilt, as the entrance to the Saarbahn trains that have been running here since then is largely barrier-free . Here too - as with the other stations along the route - former private sidings have now been shut down and dismantled.
Reception building
The current station building was created through a renovation in 1938 and an extension in today's restaurant area in the 1950s .
Originally it was a central building with a hall, ticket issuance and service rooms (three window axes), with a waiting room to the north and a goods room to the south. The outer walls were exposed sandstone blocks , the roof a gable roof.
The renovation in 1938 enlarged the central part to the south by two window axes and added a customs clearance hall . The main building received a hipped roof , plaster was applied to the masonry (the extension was no longer made in sandstone), which significantly changed the appearance.
Today the station restaurant Chaalys Bahnhof is located in the station building of the Hanweiler-Bad Rilchingen station .
traffic
From the Hanweiler train station, tram line 1 usually runs every 30 minutes during the day (occasionally only every 60 minutes) in the direction of Kleinblittersdorf , Brebach , the city center of Saarbrücken , Riegelsberg , Heusweiler Markt and Lebach . In the opposite direction, the Saarbahn runs to Sarreguemines station not far from the German-French border. During school hours, line 1 even runs every 15 minutes at lunchtime (between 12 and 2 p.m.).
Until the start of the Saarbahn and also during its preliminary operation , the Hanweiler-Bad Rilchingen station was the terminus of the regular passenger trains from Saarbrücken. The former regional railway line Saarbrücken - Hanweiler-Bad Rilchingen belonged to the network of the CityBahn in Saarland .
