history
Planning and construction
In the 1860s, citizens of the Oberamtsstadt Backnang tried to get a rail connection. In 1863 the trade association, together with trade associations from other cities, wrote a petition to the Württemberg Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which at that time was responsible for the supervision of the railway construction. Engineers arrived in the fall to take terrain measurements.
State and Reichsbahn time
On October 26, 1876, the Royal Württemberg State Railroad opened the Murrthalbahn between Waiblingen and Backnang. The station is located above the old town on a slope and initially only had a temporary reception building . It was not until 1877 that the construction of a reception building made of sandstone and brick began . On October 18, 1877, a restoration was the first to move into the partially completed building. The temporary structure was demolished in November 1877. With the opening of the Backnang – Murrhardt section , the new station building was inaugurated on April 18, 1878. It consisted of a long, two-and-a-half-story central building with two three-story wing structures, which were covered with a hipped roof. The ground floor was made of sandstone. The doors and windows were provided with arches. The upper floors were made of brick, the lintels and cornices made of sandstone formed a contrast.
Since 1873 it was clear that in Backnang a branch of the Murrbahn to the Nordbahn should be made in order to relieve the Stuttgart railway junction . The state railway carried out this project until December 8, 1879, when it put the Backnang – Bietigheim line into operation. This route branches off at the southern end of the station and descends from there into the Murrtal.
The city administration put on the Hexenstäffele to create a new footpath from Kalten Wasser (today Eduard-Breuninger-Straße ) to the train station. She inaugurated it on July 19, 1879. The original course was changed in 1928. On September 12, 1888, part of Dilleniusstrasse was renamed Untere Bahnhofstrasse (since 1929 Bahnhofstrasse ), and Güterbahnhofstrasse was renamed Obere Bahnhofstrasse .
During the Second World War , Backnang was the target of several air raids. A fighter-bomber attack on February 22, 1944 damaged a total of 59 buildings, including the station building.
Federal railway time and era of the Deutsche Bahn AG
From 1962 to 1965, the German Federal Railroad expanded the Waiblingen – Backnang section to two tracks and electrified it, while integrating it into the Stuttgart suburbs . Nevertheless, the railway did not use electrical operation between Stuttgart and Backnang on most of the through trains, since the then necessary change of locomotives in Backnang would have resulted in longer travel times.
On March 20, 1973, demolition of the almost hundred year old reception building began to make room for a new building. The new one-story building was opened to the public on August 20, 1975.
Backnang was planned as the terminus since the beginning of the planning of an S-Bahn for Stuttgart and the surrounding area in the 1960s. On September 27, 1981, the S-Bahn line S 3 Backnang - Schwabstraße was opened.
Until 1985, express trains ran in Backnang on the Stuttgart – Nuremberg route, which had a scheduled stop here.
On May 31, 1996, the lines to Marbach and Crailsheim were electrified. Diesel operation ended in Backnang.
On December 8, 2012, the extension of the S 4 S-Bahn line between Marbach and Backnang was opened.
outlook
The S-Bahn station is to be made barrier-free by 2030.
Rail operations
The station is a railway junction where the Backnang – Ludwigsburg line branches off from the Waiblingen – Schwäbisch Hall-Hessental line. The S-Bahn in the direction of Ludwigsburg start on platform 1 . Track 2 is mostly used by freight trains going through to Ludwigsburg. The Regional Express trains to Stuttgart stop on platform 3, and on platform 4 the direction Schwäbisch Hall-Hessental . The S-Bahn to the airport or Vaihingen start on platform 5 .
Since December 8, 2012, the S4 S-Bahn has been running to Backnang. For this purpose, from December 2005 to December 2012, Deutsche Bahn AG expanded and rebuilt the Backnang – Ludwigsburg line and the stations between Marbach and Backnang.
According to Deutsche Bahn AG, the Backnang station corresponds to station category 3.
