The Bietigheim-Bissingen station (until December 31, 1974 Bietigheim (Württ) ) is a railway junction in Bietigheim-Bissingen , where the Württemberg Western Railway separates from the Frankenbahn . With its eight platform tracks, it is the largest train station in the Ludwigsburg district . It is served by regional trains and the S5 line of the Stuttgart S-Bahn .

history

Connection to the northern railway

With the further construction of the northern line , which was supposed to connect Stuttgart with Heilbronn , operations from Ludwigsburg to Bietigheim could begin at Bietigheim station on October 11, 1847 . The station was about two kilometers outside the city on the Laiernwald. Efforts on the part of the city administration to build the station closer to the city were rejected by the management of the state railway . In addition to the reception building , there was initially a building with additional service apartments, a goods shed and a locomotive depot . On July 25, 1848, the remaining section of the northern line between Bietigheim and Heilbronn was put into operation.

Bietigheim becomes a railway junction

According to the proposals of Charles Vignoles of 1843/44, the western line leading to Bruchsal should separate from the northern line near Tamm . But senior building officer Karl Etzel suggested in July 1845 that the route branch off further north - in Bietigheim. Here the valley of the Enz , the crossing of which was inevitable, could be bridged at its narrowest point. While Vignoles' plans would have required a 46 m high and 515 m long viaduct at the Bissinger Sägmühle , Etzel managed with a bridge that is only 26 m high and 287 m long . Despite a longer route, 400,000  fl were saved. The State Railways trusted their experienced designer to build the Bietigheim railway viaduct without hesitation, and the Ministry of Finance agreed in February 1846.

The fact that Etzel was in a relationship with the daughter of the Württemberg Finance Minister Karl von Gärttner , who came from Bietigheim and whom he married in 1847, gave rise to speculation that Etzel was doing his future father-in-law a favor by turning his home town into a railway junction.

Since 1852, the northern line from Stuttgart to Bietigheim had a second track . The track of the Westbahn was built on the left side of the reception building. The station was now an island station . The new line went into operation on October 1, 1853. On December 8, 1879, the first trains rolled on the Backnang – Bietigheim line . This connection enabled the freight trains coming from Backnang to be directed directly towards Mühlacker or Heilbronn and vice versa. At that time, Bietigheim station was the second largest station in Württemberg.

In 1887 the first factories were located in the outer station suburb. Among other things, in 1899 Linoleum-Werke Nairn AG , which was renamed Germania Linoleum-Werke AG a year later . On the western side of Bahnhofstrasse (today's Stuttgarter Strasse ) residential and commercial buildings as well as a hotel were built . A settlement was also built in the Bissinger district near the train station .

In 1910 the company H. Balz & Co. from Stuttgart proposed to let a trackless electric tram run between the old town and the train station . The local council conferred on the offer, but had to reject it for cost reasons.

Reich and Bundesbahn time

In 1940, the Deutsche Reichsbahn expanded the northern line between Ludwigsburg and Bietigheim to three tracks. The fourth track that had already been planned did not follow until 41 years later. In the immediate vicinity of the train station, the Bietigheim transit camp was built in 1942 , in which around 1,500 Russian and Polish forced laborers were housed and who were deported to the eastern regions in the event of illness. Several air raids caused severe damage to the entire facility. The station buildings were only poorly rebuilt. The railway line to Backnang was not rebuilt and the section between Bietigheim and Beihingen-Heutingsheim was closed. A leftover piece was still used as a pull-out track , but has since been blocked by buffer stops and thus shut down.

With the electrification of the Ludwigsburg – Bietigheim section, the station was connected to the Stuttgart suburban traffic on November 10, 1950 .

On January 1, 1975, the city of Bietigheim and the community of Bissingen an der Enz merged and formed the city of Bietigheim-Bissingen. This led to the renaming of the station. The station name Bietigheim was colloquial, even when the first S-Bahn entered its new terminus on May 31, 1981 .

modernization

The modernization of the station began in October 2015. Among other things, all four platforms are to be accessible by elevator and a uniform platform height of 76 cm should be created. Since May 2017, the work worth six million euros has been completed. These should start as early as 2013, and corresponding discussions between the federal, state, rail and city authorities had dragged on. The first cost estimate from September 2010 was 3.9 million euros, the cost calculation from March 2014 was 4.8 million euros, and the partial cost estimate from June 2015 was 5.8 million euros. The measure is part of a 117 million euro station modernization program in Baden-Württemberg.

In Bietigheim-Bissingen, additional parking spaces are to be created for newly purchased S-Bahn multiple units. The Stuttgart Region Association decided on April 22, 2020 to commission a corresponding planning ( service phases 1 to 4).

Reception building

first reception building from 1847

The first reception building in the arched style common at the time was probably built according to plans by Michael Knoll . It was two-story and had a little tower with a clock and two bells. The eight-axis building was probably built from ashlar . On the first floor there was a cornice level with the window sills. Due to the missing risalites , the continuous gable roof and the joint pattern , the reception building was clearly structured horizontally. The center was emphasized by the four-axis central vestibule and the bell tower. The station building from 1847 had two waiting rooms on the ground floor , an office for the station management, a cashier, a luggage room and a staff room. Apartments for the railway staff were on the first floor.

In 1887 an additional administration building was added to the station. It stood right next to the first reception building and had a waiting room and a restaurant.

In 1958 construction began on the new reception building, which was inaugurated on June 27, 1961. Helmuth Conradi , who also designed the new Heidelberg Central Station , planned it as a two-story building with a one-story annex on the right. The flying roof on the right in front of the reception hall and the four-story tower with a clock on the left balance out the building optically. The drawn-in window fronts of the reception building emphasize the concrete skeleton. There are service rooms in the tower and on the upper floor. The previous buildings remained and were only demolished later.

The Bietigheim-Bissingen station is a railway junction. According to Deutsche Bahn AG, it corresponds to station category 2.

Four tracks lead into the station from the south. The two inner tracks are primarily used by the S-Bahn , the two outer ones for regional traffic. At the northern end of the station, the Württemberg West Railway separates from the Franconian Railway.

Tracks 1 and 2 are freight tracks and do not have a platform . The trams to Wörth and Bad Wildbad start on platform 3. Track 4 serves the regional trains coming from Karlsruhe and Heidelberg to Stuttgart. The S-Bahn to Stuttgart Schwabstrasse begins on platform 5. The S-Bahns end on track 6 before they are parked in the rear track field. The regional trains to Karlsruhe and Heidelberg stop on track 7. Track 8 is assigned to the regional trains coming from Heilbronn and Würzburg to Stuttgart. Track 9 is normally not used, only as a sideline if other tracks are occupied or blocked. Regional trains to Heilbronn and Würzburg stop on track 10.

Numerous tracks are available as parking and shunting areas for freight trains .

The Bietigheim-Bissinger interlocking is a relay interlocking of the type DrS60.

Regional traffic

From Stuttgart via Bietigheim-Bissingen, the regional trains of line 17 travel together to Mühlacker, where the second part of the train is winged every two hours (as the Fliegender Heidelberger RE 17B with connection to an RB 17C starting in Mühlacker or a direct RB 17C).

Former connecting railway to Rommelmühle

A non-electrified connecting line used to lead from the freight section of the Bietigheim train station to the Rommelmühle in the Bissingen district. The approximately two and a half kilometers long industrial track went into operation in 1903 together with the new mill building opened in the same year. It largely followed the course of Bahnhofstrasse down into the valley of the Enz and overcame an altitude difference of almost 50 meters. Large parts of the route - similar to a tram - were laid on grooved rails on the side of the road surface . The track was on the right-hand side when viewed in the direction of the mill, which means that on the return journey to Bietigheim, the freight trains came head-on towards the road traffic. At the mill, the line branched out into two stump tracks , there was no possibility of moving . The beginning of the route in Bietigheim was designed as a hairpin and therefore always required a change of direction . Because of these two operational requirements at the ends of the line, the trains to the Rommelmühle were usually hauled by a locomotive at the front and rear.

Rail operations ended in 1994, that is two years before the mill was shut down. In the last few years of operation, the mill was only operated with bulk goods wagons during the summer grain season . In addition, the BayWa warehouse in Bissingen had its own loading ramp on the route to the mill, which went out of service even earlier.

A special feature of the route were the steam locomotives operated special trains operated by the Society for the Maintenance of Rail Vehicles (GES). They were carried out for a while - mostly on the occasion of the Bissinger wooden block festival , which takes place every four years in spring . For this purpose, the construction of a temporary platform at the Rommelmühle was necessary. The last of these special trips took place in 1992.

The so-called Gleisweg is now a paved bike and footpath.
