history
Start time
Between 1846 and 1848 the Royal Württemberg State Railroad gradually completed the northern runway from the south . It should connect Stuttgart with Heilbronn . On October 11, 1847, regular operations began on the section between Ludwigsburg and Bietigheim . For the time being, the only stopover on this section of the route, which is around nine and a half kilometers long, was Asperg train station, equipped with a small two-story reception building . It was about a kilometer east of the village. The path leading to the train station initially remained unpaved and was hardly passable in bad weather. From 1852 the railway line from Stuttgart to Bietigheim was double-track .
Asperg gradually grew towards the train station. New residential and commercial buildings were built along Bahnhofstrasse. The station building received a one-story extension on the southern side. When the population of the municipality rose to over 2,000 in 1875, the municipality regained its town charter, which had been revoked in the 18th century.
Asperg is to become a railway junction
In 1896 the city administration of Markgröningen asked the state railway for the first time to set up a branch line Asperg – Markgröningen. In 1899, the Asperger municipal council dealt extensively with this new opportunity for the city. The previous number of factories was not enough for them to achieve the prosperity they had hoped for. At the new branch line, which would run south from Asperg, should a new business park arise with the sidings should be an incentive for large companies. The local councils praised the good neighborly relationship of the citizens and assured the town school of Markgröningen their support. This was followed by a petition to the Württemberg Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was responsible at the time, and another petition to the second chamber of the state parliament . However, both letters did not bring the desired response, since the building project was always in competition with a starting point in Ludwigsburg; in the end the Ludwigsburg – Markgröningen line was built .
Enlargement measures
In 1907 the State Railway Directorate recorded an overload of the station for the first time. In addition to the track systems and the goods handling area, a new, larger reception building also had to be built. In 1912 the renovation and new construction began.
The new structure was very spacious. The entrance portal, which protrudes from the main building, is framed by indicated columns. Through this, the travelers got into the then newly constructed underpass to tracks 3 and 4. To the left of the entrance was the counter hall for ticket sales and express goods and luggage acceptance, behind it a small waiting room. The post office, which had been housed in the town hall since 1877, was now located in the northern part of the reception building. The windows and doors on the platform side on the ground floor are provided with round arches. The hipped roof is almost as high as the two-story facade. The former gable roof dormers, however, no longer exist.
On the northern side is a slender one-story extension with a gable roof, which ends in a kind of pavilion with a hipped roof. In these parts of the building there was a passage to the tracks for the post office, storage rooms as well as a lounge and a laundry room for railway workers. Instead of the common room, public toilets were later set up.
The goods handling hall could be used from 1913. The inauguration of the reception building was carried out by the State Railway Directorate on April 22, 1914 and the previous building was demolished.
Deportation from Asperg
Between 1940 and 1945, took advantage of the Nazi regime the Hohenasperg as a transit camp for " Gypsies ". The transport to the ghettos and concentration camps in the east took place from the Asperg train station. A stone plaque on the outer wall of the entrance portal reminds us that the ordeal of many innocent people began here.
Federal Railroad Time
On November 10, 1950, the Deutsche Bundesbahn electrified the Ludwigsburg – Bietigheim section, which had been three-track since 1940, and enabled Asperg to improve local traffic by connecting it to the Stuttgart suburban traffic. After the creation of the four-track system between Ludwigsburg and Bietigheim-Bissingen, the S5 line of the Stuttgart S-Bahn was extended on May 31, 1981 via Asperg to Bietigheim-Bissingen.
Rail operations
The station is served by the S5 line of the Stuttgart S-Bahn. Trains no longer stop on platform 1, the main platform . Like the platform-free platform 2, it is used by passing passenger trains to Stuttgart and for freight trains. The S-Bahn to Stuttgart Schwabstraße stop on platform 3, and the S-Bahn to Bietigheim on platform 4 . Track 5 - also without a platform - is a through track for trains to Osterburken , Karlsruhe , Heidelberg and Würzburg . The Asperger station is remotely controlled from the signal box in Ludwigsburg station.
The Asperg station corresponds, according to the Deutsche Bahn AG of Bahnhof Category 4th
