The Blumberg-Zollhaus station (formerly official, today still known as Zollhaus-Blumberg ) is a train station in the town of Blumberg in the Black Forest-Baar district . It is the highest station of the Wutachtalbahn and next to the Weizen station also the most important one. Today the Museumsbahn Wutachtal e. V. as well as year-round individual trains in the Ringzug system have their starting and ending points. The address of the train station is Bahnhofstraße 1 .

history

The Zollhaus-Blumberg train station was built in 1889 and was initially only accessible from the south. A year later the Wutachtalbahn was connected to the Black Forest Railway near Immendingen and thus completed. Since the station is still on a raised bog, it was built on 224 spruce piles. These are 25 cm thick and 4 m deep.

Daily passenger traffic on the Wutach Valley Railway was finally discontinued on January 1, 1976 for reasons of profitability. Despite numerous efforts to reactivate daily passenger traffic, this goal has not yet been implemented.

In 1977, one year after regular passenger traffic was discontinued, a museum railway, now well-known across the region, was put into operation on the middle section of the Weizen- Blumberg-Zollhaus , which carried over two million passengers by 2006.

At the 2004/2005 timetable change on December 11, 2004 , the so-called “ 3-Ringzug ”, a S-Bahn- like service in the Tuttlingen districts , was introduced in the northern section of the Blumberg-Zollhaus-Hintschingen section, which is also called the Aitrach Valley Railway after the Aitrach River , Rottweil and Schwarzwald-Baar . Since then there has been a regular service in local rail passenger transport on part of the Wutachtalbahn . At the same time, the Zollhaus-Blumberg station was renamed the Blumberg-Zollhaus for better orientation .

Investments

Originally there was an extension with a toilet house on the west side of the reception building. The unexpectedly rapid increase in the volume of goods resulted in the wooden goods shed being extended in the eastern part . Since 1992 the former goods shed complex has housed the railway museum, the museum of the Wutachtalbahn, which is well worth seeing .

The mechanical equestrian signal box built in 1886 in Constance of the Bruchsal standard type was restored with the generous help of the State Monuments Office and transferred to Blumberg in 1996. The signal box is now a listed building .

Freight transport

On October 31, 1995, freight traffic on the northern section of the Wutach Valley Railway was suspended between Immendingen and Blumberg-Zollhaus . Since then there has been no more freight traffic in Blumberg-Zollhaus.

Bus transport

The SBG Südbadenbus GmbH operates the bus network in and around Blumberg.

There is a bus reversing loop right next to the train station. The Zollhaus Bahnhof (bus) bus stop is located here . However, only a few buses run there. The Zollhaus B27 stop on the main road is served by all lines that run through Zollhaus.

hikes

The Blumberg-Zollhaus train station is the starting point for the two hiking trails, Sauschwänzle-Weg and Sauschwänzle-Discovery Tour , both of which lead along the Wutach Valley Railway.

Further stops in Blumberg

Blumberg-Zollhaus station is the most important station in Blumberg. In addition to this, there is also the Blumberg-Riedöschingen ring train stop in the Riedöschingen district. The Hp Blumberg-Riedöschingen was laid out about 200 m below the former Riedöschingen station when the route was renovated in 2004.

At the Sauschwänzlebahn the stops are at Epfenhofen, Fützen and Hp Wutachblick , the first two stops are double-track stations and the last is a simple single-track stop. According to the current timetable (as of 2018), the BB trains only stop on the descent (towards Fützen), but not on the ascent (towards Epfenhofen) at the Wutachblick station. Exceptions are introduced in 2018 migrations of BB, which hold at the request and on the ascent in Hp Wutach view. The reason for the subsequent construction of the Wutachblick stop is the direct access to the Wutachflura or the Upper and Middle Flura Trail.
