history

Historic S-Bahn in Aumühle station

The first rail traffic through Aumühle began in 1846 when the Berlin-Hamburg railway opened . At that time there was no train station in Aumühle, only trains stopped in neighboring Friedrichsruh from 1850 onwards. In 1884 the first train stop was built in Aumühle. At that time it was a simple stop with two side platforms. In 1909 it was expanded to a four-track station so that suburban trains could be deployed here. A four-track storage facility with an attached locomotive shed was built behind the station to park trains there. The parking facility is still used today for parking S-Bahn trains, and the locomotive shed has been used as a museum by the Association of Traffic Amateurs and Museum Railways since 1971 . At the same time, the entrance building, which is unique in its design in northern Germany, was built.

After the Second World War , long-distance traffic on the Berlin-Hamburg railway fell sharply due to the drawn border between the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic , only a few transit trains between Hamburg and Berlin ran on the route. Suburban traffic, which continued to be handled by steam trains after the Second World War, experienced a major boom due to the large number of people who moved out of Hamburg and settled in the surrounding area. Therefore, from 1958 the steam trains between Berliner Tor and Bergedorf were replaced by a new S-Bahn line. Since the long-distance traffic on the route was very low, it ran on the long-distance railway tracks provided with power rails. Between Bergedorf and Aumühle / Büchen , traffic was initially continued with steam and diesel trains.

Track 3a. On the left the former long-distance platform (1989)

In 1969 the conductor rail was extended from Bergedorf to Aumühle, also on the tracks of the long-distance railway, and some modifications were made to the station. The southern of the two platforms, which was originally used for through traffic, was closed, the two southern tracks became pure through tracks. The transit trains to and from Berlin ran on them. The northern platform, which was previously used to deploy suburban trains, became the terminus of the S-Bahn. While the S-Bahn ( S-Bahn) from the direction of Elbgaustraße (formerly Pinneberg ) was suspended on track 4 , track 3 was divided in the middle, at the level of the reception building, and provided with buffer stops. The western section was used for amplifiers for the S-Bahn, the eastern section for the regional railways commuting between Büchen and Aumühle as a departure track. These threaded their way east of the station onto the long-distance railway line. This made it possible to change between the S-Bahn and regional trains without having to change platforms.

After German reunification, the situation changed and the Hamburg – Berlin route was now to be used for ICE traffic. Therefore, the S-Bahn between Berliner Tor and Aumühle was relocated to its own tracks. For this reason, the S-Bahn traffic in Aumühle was idle from 1994 to 2002, while it was able to continue between Berliner Tor and Bergedorf during the renovation work. Instead, a replacement service with diesel multiple units drove from Bergedorf. During the renovation work, a double-track S-Bahn line was built between Bergedorf and Wohltorf next to the existing long-distance line; between Wohltorf and Aumühle there was only space for one track. Furthermore, level crossings on the route were removed. The remains of the southern platform on the long-distance railway line were completely removed and the long-distance railway tracks were upgraded for high-speed traffic. Since 2002, the S-Bahn has been back to Aumühle after the work was finished. The station building is now a listed building.

With the timetable change on December 11, 2017, the regional train between Aumühle and Büchen was discontinued, the Aumühle station became a pure S-Bahn stop, as the regional express, which runs from Hamburg in the direction of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, runs over the long-distance railway tracks without platforms.
