history

The station was opened to traffic on July 1, 1875 as Emmishofen station in the course of the opening of the Etzwilen – Konstanz railway line . At that time, today's Kreuzlingen Hafen station on the Romanshorn – Konstanz railway line was called Kreuzlingen . At the same time, the connection between the two stations was opened. On December 18, 1911, after two years of construction, the Mittelthurgau Railway was added, which opened its line from Weinfelden to Emmishofen. For this step, the station was massively rebuilt.

With the incorporation of Emmishofen into the city of Kreuzlingen, the Emmishofen train station became the Kreuzlingen train station and the "old" Kreuzlingen train station was now called "Kreuzlingen Hafen".

In 1996, all routes around the Kreuzlingen train station were transferred to MThB - previously only the Weinfelden – Kreuzlingen route had belonged to it. The Kreuzlingen – Konstanz route also belonged to the SBB, even if it was only used by the MThB. With the MThB bankruptcy and the establishment of the Thurbo rescue company as a 90% subsidiary of SBB in 2002, the station went back to the SBB.

construction

The station consists of a side platform and a central platform. The track plans were drawn up in such a way that two trains per track stop at the same time and can also overtake each other.

future

SBB plans to stop personal service in 50 to 100 medium-sized train stations. Then tickets can only be purchased from machines. According to a press report, this would also affect Kreuzlingen.

In 2018 the idea of ​​a Kreuzlinger-Konstanzer S-Bahn is discussed.
