The north station in Stuttgart consists of a stop of the Stuttgart S-Bahn and a freight station .

history

Due to the increasing volume of traffic, the Royal Württemberg State Railroad needed more locomotives. For the construction of a locomotive shed with 59 locomotive stands and a freight yard, the State Railways acquired the site on the Prague in 1891 , at the fork of the Gäu and Northern Railways . Two years later, in 1893, construction began. The aim was to relieve the central train station in Stuttgart . For this purpose, connecting tracks were laid in order to direct the freight trains coming from Feuerbach directly to the Gäubahn.
In April 1894 the railway depot was inaugurated . On November 1, 1895, operations began at the Prague freight yard . It also had a military ramp and a loading bay for waste disposal.
The area on the Prague developed into a suburb with new apartments, which the Royal Railway Administration had built from 1894. This also decided to build a station for passenger traffic on Ludwigsburger Strasse (since 1936 Nordbahnhofstrasse) in the district of Cannstatt . The Prague stop was opened on October 1, 1896. The name was changed very quickly to Stuttgart Nordbahnhof to avoid confusion with the Bohemian capital . The station building with the service and waiting room was on the track in the direction of Feuerbach. There was a waiting hall on the track in the direction of Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof. The freight yard could be reached via an iron footbridge.

The memorial is located on the site of the old north station

In 1908 the four-track expansion for the Stuttgart suburban traffic between Stuttgart Hbf and Ludwigsburg began , which resulted in almost a complete relocation of the tracks and a conversion of the north station. The commissioning of the Rankbachbahn in 1915 and the marshalling yard in Kornwestheim in 1918 relieved the load on the new freight yard, which from that time was also known as Stuttgart Nord Gbf . On November 16, 1925, the suburban tracks went into operation. The stop for passenger traffic, sometimes referred to as Stuttgart Nord Pbf , was built on the newly created passage on Ludwigsburger Strasse. The railway depot was given a new function as the main workshop and, after the Second World War, as a repair shop .

Between 1941 and 1945, over 2,200 Jews from all over Württemberg were deported to Theresienstadt , Auschwitz , Riga and Izbica on the open loading tracks of the Inner North Station . The memorial at the Nordbahnhof has been commemorating this event since 2006 .

outlook

As part of the Stuttgart 21 project , the station is to be dismantled to a stop on the S-Bahn tracks without additional track systems. The entrance signals for the Mittnachtstraße station should be at the southern end of the platform . Long-distance and regional trains will then run between the main station and Feuerbach through the Feuerbach tunnel and thus bypass the north station.

The transshipment point set up at the Nordbahnhof for excavation during the tunneling of the Stuttgart 21 project is to be closed at the end of 2018. The remaining quantities, around eight percent of the total excavation, are then to be transported by road.

In order to integrate the Gäubahn in Stuttgart, coordination is in progress to plan a “north stop” in the Eckartshaldenweg area.

Option north cross

In the context of Stuttgart 21 - in connection with the so-called T-clasp - the option of a S-Bahn connection point designated as a north cross in the area of ​​the north station is to be kept open. In addition to the existing links towards Feuerbach and the main train station, a new route to Bad Cannstatt (T-Spange) is also planned. With this option, the Gäubahn would be retained, including the existing links.

The planned routes were designed for a design speed of 80 km / h and a maximum longitudinal gradient of 39 per thousand. According to the plans, the Stuttgart Nord (deep) stop planned as part of the measures is to be located below today's long-distance railway tracks and Ehmannstrasse, around 10 m below the site. A 9 m wide central platform is to be linked to the existing stop (Nordbahnhofstraße) and the Nordbahnhofstraße tram stop. In the area of ​​the new stopping point, the route would lie in a straight line and be inclined lengthways at 2.5 per mil. The construction of the stop would be done in the open construction method.

The Nordkreuz arose from various considerations to increase the number of trains in the Stuttgart S-Bahn system. Based on this, a feasibility study was developed that was available at the end of the 1990s. The option is to be implemented if there is a sufficient need for traffic in the future. This would mean that S-Bahn trains would bypass the S-Bahn trunk line tunnel via the Gäubahn. New lines planned in this connection are to be linked with the existing radial lines in such a way that all stops of the S-Bahn system can be reached with at most one transfer process.

The option emerged as a requirement of the project's spatial planning procedure . The Verband Region Stuttgart had a feasibility study for examination by Stuttgart 21 21 possible routes for planning consideration as part of the implementation of the project outside Stuttgart. According to DB, the result of this feasibility study was included in the planning of the Stuttgart 21 project. Structural measures in the course of the Stuttgart 21 project are not required.

The realization is planned for the time after the realization of Stuttgart 21. The costs for the Nordkreuz were (as of 1997) calculated at around 250 million Deutschmarks. The Verkehrsclub Deutschland estimates the costs for T-Spange and Nordkreuz at a total of 215 million euros (as of 2010).

Rail operations

The stop has an island platform with access from Nordbahnhofstraße and Brünner Steg and is served by lines S4, S5 and S6 of the Stuttgart S-Bahn.
Track 3 is assigned to the S-Bahn to Backnang, Bietigheim, Böblingen and Weil der Stadt, Track 4 to the S-Bahn to Stuttgart Schwabstraße. The slightly higher tracks 1 and 2 are used for long-distance and regional traffic and have no platforms. In addition to track 4, two freight tracks also run higher up in the direction of the main train station, which narrow to a track immediately after the north station.

Stuttgart North station corresponds, according to the Deutsche Bahn AG of Bahnhof Category fifth

The station's signaling systems are remote-controlled from the SpDr-L60 signal box in Zuffenhausen, which went into operation in 1973. The freight yard, which is rarely used, has a diversified track field with several head tracks. An unused signal box with the label Stuttgart Nord R1 stands at the transition to the Frankenbahn . The building of the depot is still preserved today and is used as an event center.

Light rail

The Nordbahnhof stop is served by the U12 tram, which runs from Remseck to Dürrlewang. The Löwentorbrücke stop in Heilbronner Straße can also be reached via Brünner Steg and Bombaysteg . The U6, U7 and U15 tram lines run there.
