history

The Treuchtlingen station was opened on October 2, 1869 together with the two railway lines Ansbach- Treuchtlingen and Treuchtlingen- Pleinfeld by the Royal Bavarian State Railways . The Treuchtlingen – Pleinfeld section was built in connection with the construction of the Altmühlbahn. A small depot for the maintenance of the trains was built opposite the station building . 1870 got Treuchtlingen another link to the rail network with the railway line Munich - Ingolstadt -Treuchtlingen- Nuremberg . On October 1, 1906, the Bavarian State Railways put the Donauwörth – Treuchtlingen railway into operation, which was previously viewed as uneconomical due to the inclines required. With this, the direct route Nuremberg - Augsburg was completed and the detour of the Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn via Nördlingen was unnecessary. Treuchtlingen station was expanded with the construction of the line and expanded from seven to 15 tracks. By 1935, the Deutsche Reichsbahn electrified the Nuremberg – Augsburg line. Simultaneously with the electrification, the number of station tracks was increased to 27 from 1934. From then on, trains in Treuchtlingen that switched from the Nuremberg – Augsburg line to the non-electrified lines in the direction of Würzburg and Ingolstadt were converted from electric to steam traction in Treuchtlingen.

During the Second World War , the station was repeatedly targeted by air raids. On February 23, 1945, around 300 people were killed in a bomb attack , the majority of whom died when the platform underpass was destroyed. In 1969 the Deutsche Bundesbahn dissolved the Treuchtlingen depot. In 1977 the Treuchtlingen station was closed as a marshalling hub. In 1978 a new track plan push button interlocking was put into operation. From 2004 to 2006, Deutsche Bahn modernized the station. New, barrier-free platforms were built and the reception building was renovated. With the completion of the high-speed line Nuremberg – Ingolstadt – Munich at the end of 2006, the station lost most of the long-distance connections between Nuremberg and Munich.

In June 2017, Deutsche Bahn applied for the dismantling of various switches and track sections.

Signal boxes

The station's points and signals were initially set by five mechanical signal boxes. Signal box V was responsible for the depot and was demolished after its closure in 1969. The four other signal boxes remained in operation until 1978. After they were taken out of service, three of the interlockings that were no longer needed were demolished. Signal box III was preserved and is used by a model railway association.

In 1978, the German Federal Railroad took a new track layout pushbutton interlocking the type Sp Dr S60 from Siemens in operation, the term Tf carries. It is located in a three-storey building with an attached signal box north of the reception building. In addition to the position of the Treuchtlingen station, the Otting - Weilheim station is remote-controlled by Tf , and the signal box was also responsible for remote control of the Möhren station until it was shut down .

The Treuchtlingen area is to be equipped with digital interlockings and ETCS by 2030 as part of the “starter package” of Digital Rail Germany , as part of the TEN core network corridor Scandinavia-Mediterranean .

Depot

Site of the Treuchtlingen depot around 1988

With the opening of the station, the Bavarian State Railways opened a small depot west of the platforms in 1869. In the course of the expansion of the station until 1906, the area of ​​the depot was required for additional track systems. The old systems were demolished and a new depot was built in the northern head of the station west of the tracks from 1905 to 1906. It was equipped with a 29-person roundhouse with a turntable and a six-person carriage depot. A second nine-hour roundhouse was built later. From 1925 up to 60 steam locomotives were stationed in Treuchtlingen. After the electrification of the Nuremberg – Augsburg railway line, the Deutsche Reichsbahn initially housed three E 32 and E 44 series electric locomotives at the Treuchtlingen depot. In 1935, the nine-seat roundhouse was given a catenary spider above the turntable. In the following years the number increased to 30 electric locomotives.

In 1957 the only branch of the depot in Rennertshofen was closed . With the electrification of the lines to Ingolstadt in 1962 and Würzburg in 1965, the reclamping of the locomotives in Treuchtlingen and the use of steam locomotives ended, so that the depot largely lost its function. In 1969 the Deutsche Bundesbahn dissolved the Treuchtlingen depot as an independent service and shortly afterwards demolished the two roundhouse sheds. The car shed with a skylight and the three-storey building of the locomotive line with water house and ancillary building have been preserved and are used commercially. The brick buildings from 1906 are under monument protection .
