history
In February 1891, a Munich – Kochel railway committee was founded. This favored the extension of the Isar Valley Railway leading from Munich to Wolfratshausen, some of which was already completed, to Bichl. There a connection to Kochel was to be established via the extension of the Kochelseebahn from Penzberg to Kochel, which had been planned since the 1880s . As the Lokalbahn Aktien-Gesellschaft (LAG), the operator of the Isar Valley Railway, also showed interest in the extension of the Kochelseebahn, but the Royal Bavarian State Railway (k.bay.St.b.) wanted to operate the route itself, the Royal Bavarian State Railway took it in June 1894 the plans to build the line. However, the LAG did not deviate from the plan to extend the Isar Valley Railway to Bichl. In June 1895 she received a concession for planning and in June 1896 the concession to build and operate the line. As a result, the Royal Bavarian State Railroad feared the occurrence of losses, as their route from Munich via Tutzing to Kochel was longer than the planned extension of the Isar Valley Railway. Therefore, the LAG received the condition that the extension of the Isar Valley Railway could not be opened before the Kochelseebahn opened. Since the construction of the state railway line was delayed, the station could not be put into operation until May 23, 1898 together with the line extensions.
The Isartalbahn and Kochelseebahn were given separate tracks, which were only connected with a switch connection at the end of the station in the direction of Kochel. Another switch connection followed at the northern end of the station. The station had a reception building, a goods shed and a loading ramp on the eastern side facing the town. There were two tracks with platforms for passenger trains. The station building was a three-story building with two pavilions attached to the side. The Isar Valley Railway was introduced into the state train station and had a platform with a transfer track. It also had a two-room engine shed with a turntable and a trolley shed. Both sheds were located north of the reception building. On March 4, 1925, the station was electrified with the Kochelseebahn.
On August 1, 1938, after long nationalization efforts, the local railway company was transferred to the state. Due to its importance, the station was the target of several bombing attacks during the war, and the formerly larger and more stately reception building was destroyed. The Glass Train, on the other hand, was able to survive the war undamaged, hidden in one of the engine sheds. In the 1950s the remains of the old reception building were demolished and a new one-story building was erected. The Isar Valley Railway was shut down for all traffic on May 31, 1959, as a renovation of the superstructure would have been necessary. This was not considered worthwhile by the Deutsche Bundesbahn .
Infrastructure
Until June 2010, the station had three tracks on two platforms. Track 1, which has not been accessible since June 2010 due to the expansion of points, was located on the house platform , but was no longer used for passenger traffic. Tracks 2 and 3 are located on a central platform , which can only be reached via a level crossing from the house platform. The station is not barrier-free and has a small dynamic train destination display . In the reception building there is a mechanical signal box, which is manned by a dispatcher , and a waiting room. The station still has form signals to this day .
The train station has been making barrier-free access since March 2013, with a new 76 cm high central platform with two platform edges being built. The renovation should be completed by December 2013, when the new Werdenfels network of Deutsche Bahn goes into operation. After commissioning, the regional trains from Kochel in Tutzing will be coupled to the regional trains from Weilheim , so that there will be an hourly service with new series 442 vehicles to Munich.

traffic
In 1944 the station was served daily by six Kochelseebahn trains that ran from Tutzing to Kochel. In 1944, three passenger trains ran daily on the Isar Valley Railway from Munich's Isar Valley Station via Wolfratshausen to Bichl, of which two continued to Kochel. Even during the time of the LAG, there were continuous trains from Munich Isartalbahnhof - Kochel. Until December 2013, the hourly regional trains were driven by locomotives of the 426 or 425 series and ran from Tutzing to Kochel . From Monday to Friday in the morning and evening rush hour, the trains ran from Tutzing via Starnberg and Munich-Pasing to Munich Central Station . Since Deutsche Bahn won the tender for the Werdenfels network in 2011, new class 442 railcars have been in use since December 2013 . These are combined in Tutzing with the regional trains from Weilheim , so that every hour to Munich is guaranteed. In addition, individual amplifier trains run between Tutzing and Kochel during rush hour. In the station Bichl finds Train meeting of trains instead of the kochelsee railway outside the rush hours.
