history

Map of the railway lines around Tondern, 1902

Tondern received its first rail connection in 1867 with the opening of the Tondern – Tingleff railway line , which was built by the Peto, Brassey and Betts consortium with a concession from May 1, 1862. The train station in the north of the city was a terminus. The station was later referred to as Stadt-Bahnhof (St-Bhf ). In 1914 this station was called Nord-Bahnhof . During the Danish period, the name was changed to Tønder Øst , the station name Tønder Nord was given for a later-built stop on the Bramming – Tønder railway line .

The depot was built in 1887 with the continuation of the march line from Niebüll to Bramming and on to the then state border at Hvidding ( Hviding in Danish ). A two-room workshop is attached to the circular shed and was connected via the turntable. The new station was opened on November 15, 1887 by the Holsteinische Marschbahn-Gesellschaft as a march station (M-Bhf) (today Jernbanegade 8). The branch line from Tingleff was introduced into the new station, which was located a little north of the current reception building.

With the nationalization of the private railway company, renamed Schleswig-Holsteinische Marschbahn-Gesellschaft in 1888, on July 1, 1890, the Prussian State Railways took over the operation. In the following years they made extensive extensions to the railway facilities. Reception building and goods handling were newly built.

On June 15, 1892, the connection to the Hoyerschleuse ( Danish Højer Sluse ) with a ferry connection to the island of Sylt was put into operation.

In 1920, the German Reich had to cede North Schleswig to Denmark as a result of the referendum provided for in the Versailles Treaty . The railways in this area were taken over by the Danske Statsbaner (DSB) from then on .

The depot was closed as an independent office in 1958. The locomotive shed and the workshop building still exist, the remaining facilities of the depot have been completely dismantled.

Stationings

MY 1104 and E 987 (2016)

In Tondern, after the Holsteinische Marschbahn-Gesellschaft's locomotives at the time of the opening, Prussian locomotives were used to service the routes departing from the city for local goods transport and regional passenger transport after the takeover by the Prussian State Railways.

After the railway facilities were taken over by the Danish State Railways (DSB), they were replaced by Danish locomotives and railcars. Over the years, Tønder remise was home to numerous series , including the series CS , G (II) , HS (II) , K , KS , D (II) , F (II) , F (III) and O steam locomotives , the diesel locomotives of the MV (I) series and the MT (I) and MQ railcars . Locomotives from the DSB Tractor 19… 52 and DSB Tractor 117–146 series were assigned to the department for shunting tasks.

Further use

In 1958, Tønder Maskinfabrik A / S opened a boiler shop in the southern part of the disused DSB Remise. In 1960 the factory entered into a production agreement with Burmeister & Wain (B&W). On this basis the factory grew from 50 employees in 1960 to 170 employees in 1970. B&W transferred its majority of the shares to TØMA A / S and renamed the factory B&W Energi. During the 1990s, the owner changed several times. Then said the company Boiler Works A / S, since 2007 DP Clean Tech and now boiler works A / S .

Aabenraa Veteranbane was founded on March 13, 1993 in Tønder as Tinglev – Tønder Veteranjernbane, TTVJ . The NVAG DL 1 locomotive came to Tønder in 1994. It was still there in 2015. The club had also in 1996 the railcars T 3 of NVAG in Niebüll purchased and ran the museum trains from Tønder, mostly between Tinglev and Tønder, but also to Odense to Railway Museum or the last trains running rail ferry from Nyborg . TTVJ used the Tønder Gamle Remise until they moved to Aabenraa on August 16, 1999, after the area was used for other purposes.

Private Banen Sønderjylland , which was founded in 1997 and took over freight transport in South Jutland, then used the depot until it went bankrupt in 2001.

Round shed, condition 2004, the turntable was already expanded.

In May 2008, the remains of the engine shed and the surrounding area were put up for sale for 750,000 crowns . The Danish doctor Peter Malmqvist, who lives in Norway , bought the property for 600,000 kroner in order to build a railway museum within five years.

In 2016 the condition of the former depot can be described as a ruin. The roof of the round shed, in which the NVAG DL 1 diesel locomotive is locked, has partially collapsed. The workshop is also unusable. The MY 1104 and the E 987 , the two wood-paneled bogie passenger cars 555 and 664 from Norway, a baggage car and the control car Cls 718 used for DSB MO are unprotected outdoors . In front of the former workshop are the parts of a turntable bought from Germany.

When the gate is open and a member of the ten-person Railway Club is present, the site can be visited. At the moment, 200,000 crowns would be required to immediately secure the round shed roof.

Renovation plans

The På Sporet Igen project was an employment project with the aim of renovating and reconstructing the coach house. The depot is the last existing railway depot from the German time in Jutland. A strategy and an action plan were drawn up for the project on behalf of the Heureka Foundation in order to employ the unemployed according to their abilities between 1995 and 1998 with the employment project. The planning was financed by the Social Fund of the European Union and the Labor Market Council ( Danish Arbejdsmarkedsrådet ) of South Jutland. The execution failed because the relief fund went bankrupt.

The final year 2013 of the Aarhus School of Architecture presented, among other things, a project in which the Tønder Remise should receive a future- oriented use as an innovatarium . A model of the area was exhibited for this purpose. The plans were not pursued any further.
