history

former station building by Hans Kern (demolition: 2009)
Former freight yard, now a bus station

At the passenger station there was a marshalling yard that was largely demolished today . The main station according to plans by Gottfried von Neureuther was opened in 1854 with the commissioning of the Bavarian Ludwigs-West-Bahn at that time on the "green field". During the Second World War , the station, as a junction, was also the target of air raids by the Allies . B. in the night of April 1 to April 2, 1942. The station building from the original period was destroyed in an air raid on the railway facilities on December 29, 1944. In the first half of the 1950s, a new building by Hans Kern was built in a functional style. The entrance hall had a large glass front, a pent roof and an extension with the station restaurant.

the platform systems of the Aschaffenburg main station (2007)

The main station was renewed in sections from 2004, increasing the platforms and installing elevators. For this purpose, the old station building was demolished and a new one with large business areas and a parking garage with over 400 parking spaces was built. The new building opened on January 29, 2011. At the end of February 2012, an extension of the new platform underpass into the Damm district was opened. Another parking garage was opened here in April 2012 with around 200 P&R parking spaces on two of the six parking levels. The city of Aschaffenburg redesigned the station aprons on the south and north sides. The goods shed to the west of the reception building was demolished except for its middle section ( no. D-6-61-000-165 ), which is a listed building, for the expansion of the regional bus station.

In October 2010, a scaled-down copy of the Hermes mosaic previously attached to the outer wall was installed on the east side of the new reception building. The old work of art was applied to four aluminum panels as a digital photo print. The majority of the original tiles were rescued shortly before the station building was demolished without the permission of the station's owner and reassembled for reproduction by the graphic artist Udo Breidenbach .

Infrastructure

The passenger station has seven through tracks and one butt track in the east end of the station. The six tracks to the north (tracks 101 to 106) are primarily used for freight traffic . The track systems of Aschaffenburg Hbf were controlled by many decentralized mechanical and electromechanical signal boxes until 1974. Since 1974 they have been controlled by a pushbutton interlocking that was built at the east end of the station. It also serves other Aschaffenburg train stations and the routes to Stockstadt, Kleinostheim and Laufach.

Transport offer

The station is served from different directions. The ICE line 41 connects the train station with Munich and the Ruhr area every hour. In the outskirts of the day there are still some IC and ICE connections to Hamburg, Nuremberg and Vienna. There is a half-hourly offer to Frankfurt with an RE and an RB line. The RB runs from Frankfurt Süd via Aschaffenburg to Laufach. An RB runs to Miltenberg at least every hour, which is consolidated by a two-hour RE line to Crailsheim. Another RB line, the Rhein-Main-Bahn , runs every hour towards Wiesbaden, which is condensed during rush hour. There is an hourly RE connection in the direction of Würzburg, which is condensed by an RB line in the high season to Gemünden.

From 1891 to the end of the 1950s there was the so-called Mainland Railway , which branched off below the Bischberg into the former raft and trading port. Between 1911 and 1974 there was also a passenger train connection via the Bachgaubahn to Höchst in the Odenwald . Since the road connection to the Bachgau is congested during peak times, there are discussions about reactivating this connection in the section between Aschaffenburg and the outskirts of Großostheim .

The regional bus station is in front of the train station. With this there are inner-city connections of the Stadtwerke Aschaffenburg and connections to the surrounding area, e.g. B. Alzenau , Schöllkrippen , Mainaschaff , Kahl , Obernburg etc. Many of these buses run hourly or half hourly, within the city connections are condensed by superimposing several lines.

future

There are plans to build a new line between Aschaffenburg and Würzburg. This would separate ICE traffic from regional and freight traffic. Another plan is to bypass Aschaffenburg completely and instead run the route to Hanau. In this case line 41 would be omitted.

Others

Underpass to the Damm district

The Damm district has been accessible via a railway underpass since the end of February 2012. The underpass connects the city center with the district and a landscaped promenade "Dammer Tor". The construction project cost 3.7 million euros.
