The Besigheim Station is located at kilometer 29.8 of the Franconia Railway. According to the railway building and operating regulations, however, due to the dismantled points, it is no longer a train station , but a stopping point .
history
Right from the start of the planning for the northern line , which was to connect Stuttgart with Heilbronn , the Besigheim municipal councils showed keen interest in a connection. The Oberamtsstadt together with the Husarenhof had around 2,400 inhabitants. The city fathers hoped that the route via Besigheim would lead to rapid industrialization.
On July 25, 1848, the Royal Württemberg State Railroad opened the northern section of the Bietigheim – Heilbronn line. The Besigheim station, around 500 meters from the city gates, was in the meadows and fields near the road to Löchgau . The two-story station building remained the only structure west of the Enz Bridge until 1850. Only then did the city begin to grow in this direction. It all started with a residential building (today Bahnhofstrasse 19) and one year later, in 1851, the Zur Eisenbahn inn .
The local council now expressed its negative opinion on the railway and noted the disadvantages. Most of the population consisted of poor Wengerter families . They had no use from a fast connection to the big cities. On the contrary, the railway line prevented them from cultivating their vineyards, as the route still passes them today. Craft businesses closed as the industry promised higher incomes. Through traffic decreased on the once important state road. This was noticed not only by the inns that catered for the carters and travelers, but also by the city administration, which recorded declining income from paving and bridge payments.
In 1868 the situation changed. With the construction of a bridge over the Neckar, east of Besigheim, the residents of the villages of Mundelsheim , Hessigheim and Ottmarsheim could now reach the city and the train station more quickly. The number of passengers and the goods to be loaded - especially sugar beets and chicories - increased.
In 1873 the Trikotwarenfabrik Mattes, Lutz & Müller was the first industrial company to set up shop in Besigheim. At the end of 1874, the local trade association asked for the station to be expanded, but the state railway did not comply.
In 1880 the royal government classified the Besigheim paving and bridge money as out of date. The city had to forego the road toll in the future and lost a source of income.
In 1883 the old oil mill on the Neckar was converted into an industrial mill and from 1889 onwards it was called the Besigheimer Ölfabrik . After a major fire in 1904, the management decided on a new location north of the train station (today BASF ). So the factory could get a siding.
In 1888 the post office moved into its new building in the immediate vicinity of the train station. The vacated rooms in the station building were now available to the state railway, which was able to delay the expansion of the building again.
On September 15, 1894, the state railway put a second track between Bietigheim and Nordheim into operation. In 1901 she expanded the station building with a one-story extension on the northern side.
On April 1, 1945 there was a bomb attack in the area of the train station and Bietigheimer Strasse. Four people were killed.
On June 1, 1959, the Deutsche Bundesbahn began electrical operations between Bietigheim and Heilbronn. The station building then received another one-story extension on the southern side.
In the 1990s, the city administration made greater efforts to redesign the station forecourt. This was achieved in 1999. A new office building and a car park for rail travelers were created. Besigheim station has now been reduced to a stopping point. There are no longer any siding.
The ticket office at Besigheim train station, which was also used as a "junior company" for trainees of Deutsche Bahn, was supposed to be closed in March 2001. After the resistance of some local and state parliament members against the closure, the ticket sales were assigned to a private agency in April 2006, which, however, discontinued this in March 2008 due to a lack of profitability. The former counter hall has been used as an event space since 2009.
The guard signal box below the Niedernberg, which has been closed since 1995, was demolished in autumn 2011 because no interested parties could be found for a renovation.
Rail operations
The stop is served by regional trains and by individual regional express trains on the Stuttgart - Würzburg route in the early morning and late evening. Trains to Heilbronn , Osterburken , Mannheim and Würzburg stop on platform 1, and trains to Stuttgart and Tübingen on platform 2 . Trains run every 30 minutes on the Stuttgart – Heilbronn route on weekdays.
The Besigheim station corresponds, according to the Deutsche Bahn AG of Bahnhof Category fifth
Regional traffic
After the transport companies Abellio Rail Baden-Württemberg and Go-Ahead Baden-Württemberg submitted the tender for the operation a. a. of the Neckar Valley network and thus replaced the DB Regio Baden-Württemberg , the railway lines were fundamentally revised for the timetable change in December 2019. Since then, Go-Ahead has been serving the RE 8 regional express line to Würzburg and Abellio the RE 10 and RB 18 lines to Mannheim and Osterburken .
Due to delivery problems for the Bombardier Talent 2 multiple units, Abellio was only able to partially implement the original timetable. With the 2019 timetable change, lines RE 10a and RE 10b will therefore start in Heilbronn instead of Tübingen . The RB 18 line begins in Stuttgart and is used by borrowed BR 425 trains. In order to still be able to guarantee a 30-minute cycle on the Stuttgart-Heilbronn route, DB Regio is temporarily operating the additional RE 10 line from Stuttgart to Heilbronn with double-decker cars on behalf of Abellio .
