The shaftlach – Tegernsee railway line (also known as the Tegernseebahn ) is a standard-gauge, non-electrified railway line in Bavaria . It connects Schaftlach with Tegernsee .
history
The Eisenbahn-Aktiengesellschaft Schaftlach – Gmund received the concession from King Ludwig II in 1882 to build and operate a railway line from Schaftlach to Gmund, which was opened in 1883.
In 1896 the concession for an extension of the railway line to Tegernsee was extended. In 1902 the line to Tegernsee was opened; an initially planned extension to Rottach-Egern came u. a. due to unsuccessful land acquisition negotiations. The owner company changed its name to Eisenbahn-Actiengesellschaft Schaftlach-Gmund-Tegernsee (EAG).
In 1942 the company name was changed to Tegernsee-Bahn Aktiengesellschaft (TAG).
In 1983, rail operations were transferred to the newly founded Tegernsee-Bahn Betriebsgesellschaft mbH (TBG). The company's assets include the shaftlach – Tegernsee railway line with a length of 12.4 kilometers and an area of 147,000 m², the two station buildings in Gmund and Tegernsee including land totaling 35,000 m², two undeveloped lakeshore properties with a total of 12,000 m² and 2,330 m² with 33 residential units of built-up land at the Tegernsee.
In 1998 the TBG ceased operations. Since then, the Bayerische Oberlandbahn (BOB) has taken over operations on behalf of the Bavarian Railway Company .
In 1999 TBG sold the entire rail fleet, which means that the operating company only functions as a railway infrastructure company . On December 20, 2012, the owner TAG Immobilien sold the Tegernseebahn for 11 million euros to the two municipalities of Tegernsee and Gmund (45 percent of the shares each) and to the Miesbach district (10 percent).
Routing
The route leaves the Schaftlach train station in a north-easterly direction and, after a right-hand bend, leads east past the village of Schaftlach. Leading in a south-easterly direction, the line reaches Moosrain and after a 1.2 km downhill section and a loop it reaches Gmund am Tegernsee station. After the train station, the line crosses the Mangfall in a right-hand bend and leads along the Tegernsee to the terminus in the city of Tegernsee.
The TEG operates 15 level crossings on the line, twelve of which are secured with flashing lights and half barriers , three with flashing lights only.
Operating points
Moosrain stop
The breakpoint is in the district of the same name in the municipality of Gmund am Tegernsee.
Finsterwald stop
In 2017, a new Gmund Finsterwald stop was to be built to connect the Finsterwald district of Gmund and the secondary school that opened there in 2014 between Moosrain and Gmund . Due to high costs, the opening was delayed by about a year. The 120-meter-long platform has been served by regional railways since October 21, 2018, and the inauguration ceremony did not take place until November 19.
Gmund (Tegernsee) train station ⊙
The Gmund (Tegernsee) train station at distance km 7.7 is located in the Upper Bavarian parish village of Gmund am Tegernsee . The listed entrance building of the station, which was built around 1883 and served as the end of the line until 1902, is a two-storey building with a protruding flat roof . The southern side facing the tracks is characterized by a gable risalit . Window and door frames play with forms of the neo-renaissance .
Tegernsee station ⊙
The station building of the terminus of the line is a saddle roof building with wide transverse gables, which was built in 1902 in the local style with decorative framework and plaster ornaments. The platform hall has an iron platform grating. There was a mechanical signal box in Tegernsee . In the station building there is now the control room of an ESTW that controls the entire route.
Future prospects
According to the concept of the Bavarian state government for more electromobility on the rails in Bavaria, Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann proposed the route for electrification from a Bavarian perspective.
