history

On August 25, 1843, the Bavarian government passed the law on the construction of the Ludwigs-Süd-Nord-Bahn , which was to run from Hof via Bamberg , Nuremberg , Nördlingen , Augsburg and Kaufbeuren to Lindau on Lake Constance . On September 1, 1847, the Royal Bavarian State Railways opened the single-track section from Augsburg via Bobingen and Buchloe to Kaufbeuren. In the small town of Bobingen, a through station with two platform tracks and additional loading tracks was built. The station received a two-story entrance building in exposed brick and a goods shed south of the entrance building. By March 1, 1854, the entire route of the Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn from Hof ​​to Lindau was completed, which increased train traffic at Bobingen station.

With the construction of a military training area near Lagerlechfeld in 1866, a railway connection was required to transport material and troops. In 1874, construction work began on a railway line through the Lechfeld from Bobingen via Lagerlechfeld to the Kaufering station on the Bavarian Allgäubahn . On May 15, 1877, the Bavarian State Railways put the line, also known as the Lechfeldbahn , into operation, making the Bobingen station a separation station. The station was expanded until 1880 to accommodate the additional traffic and the increased number of passengers. The station building was supplemented in the north by a single-storey extension with waiting rooms and an open waiting hall. A third platform, additional sidings and a turntable were built to the east of the previous track system . After the expansion, there were 18 points in the station. For the change attendants, who were responsible for operating the points, a change attendant's house was built at the northern and southern exit of the station.

wooden platform roof from 1902

In 1902 the Ludwigs-Süd-Nord-Bahn between Augsburg and Buchloe, which was already being prepared for a second track, was expanded to double tracks. The Bavarian State Railways redesigned the tracks of the Bobingen train station again. She replaced the previous bulk platforms with fortified platforms that were equipped with wooden platform roofs. The height same transitions were a platform underpass between domestic and central platform replaces. The station received two new mechanical signal boxes in switch towers and a command signal box , for which part of the open waiting hall was bricked up. During the First World War , in 1915, a siding to the artificial silk and powder factory of Köln-Rottweil AG was put into operation in the south of the station , which today connects the Trevira factory to the station. At the end of the 1930s, the Deutsche Reichsbahn modernized the station building and plastered it. For the command signal box, a new signal box front was built on the track side of the building.

In 1966, the Deutsche Bundesbahn put a new track plan push button interlocking into operation in the signal box front of the reception building , which replaced the two mechanical signal boxes. In the 1980s, the Bobingen railway maintenance depot, which at times employed over 20 railway workers, was dissolved. Most recently she was responsible for the section from Augsburg Morellstrasse to Westerringen and on the Lechfeldbahn to Klosterlechfeld . In the 1970s and 1980s, local freight traffic continued to decline and was discontinued in the 1990s. In the period that followed, part of the freight tracks was dismantled and the freight shed demolished. The integration into the Augsburger Verkehrsverbund 1985 and into the Allgäu-Schwaben-Takt in 1993 led to an upturn in passenger traffic and a steady increase in the number of passengers.

construction

Reception building

Station building from the track side

The station building, erected in 1847, is a two-storey brick building with a gable roof , which has a return on the track and street side. The building, which was initially made of exposed brick, is decorated with a cornice between the ground floor and first floor . The windows are designed as segment arch constructions and were originally provided with hinged shutters. The four gables are color-coded and each has a round window . When it opened, there were three service rooms on the ground floor, an anteroom with ticket office and a waiting room. On the first floor there were living rooms for the railway staff. The entrances to the street and to the platform were both reversed. In 1877, a single-storey extension was attached to the building in the north, which has a floor area almost twice as large as the original building. It consisted of an open side of the track waiting hall with traufständigem gabled roof and an adjoining brick building with gable constant gabled roof, where the station toilets were housed. Between the waiting hall and the previous building there was a brick building under the gable roof, into which the waiting room and the baggage handling from the main building were relocated. In 1902 this walled area was enlarged to accommodate the command signal box. At the end of the 1930s, the Deutsche Reichsbahn plastered the exposed brick building. For the command signal box, a new brick porch with a corrugated iron roof was built on the northeast corner of the two-storey building , which now houses the push-button signal box. The waiting room and the station toilets are still open today (2014), the ticket office is closed.

Platforms and track systems

At the opening of the station Bobingen next to the continuous main track was a siding available. The station had a house platform and an intermediate platform, which were designed as bulk platforms. To the south of the reception building there were further loading tracks and a loading ramp . During the expansion to the separation station, the Bavarian State Railways built a further intermediate platform east of the previous platforms from 1877, several platform-free storage and freight tracks and a turntable in the northern station area. During the double-track expansion in 1902, the platform system was redesigned. Instead of the Schütt platforms, a new paved house and central platform as well as an additional intermediate platform was built . A new platform underpass was built between the main platform and the central platform, and the two platforms were given a wooden roof. The intermediate platform could still only be reached via a level crossing from the central platform and remained without a roof. In addition, additional sidings were put into operation. In 1975 there were four platform-less stabling and freight tracks east of the four platform tracks, one of which was a stub track . Another dead end provides the connection to BayWa . There were three loading tracks at the goods shed, one of which was a butt track and the siding to the Hoechst paintworks. At the northern end of the loading tracks, a small locomotive shed made of corrugated iron, which has been preserved to this day, was used to accommodate the station's own small locomotive .

From the 1990s, part of the freight tracks was dismantled. Two of the sidings in the east still exist, one of which has now been closed. In the south-west of the station, two of the three loading tracks and two butt tracks are still in operation. The northern connection point to main track 1 was shut down, however, so that the loading tracks can only be reached from the south. Although the local freight traffic has ceased, the loading route can still be used today. As planned, the loading tracks will only serve as a connection to the Trevira siding, formerly Farbwerke Hoechst. The platforms have remained largely unchanged since 1902 and have been equipped with the wooden platform roofs to this day. They are not barrier-free . In the meantime, the central platform and the intermediate platform, which is still connected at the same level, have been equipped with guide strips for the blind .

Signal boxes

In the early years, the station's points were set by change attendants on site. 1902. Bavarian State Railways took two mechanical guard interlocking in operation, were housed in two-storey towers switches. Signal box 1 was located at the northern exit of the station west of the tracks, signal box 2 was located at the southern station exit to the east of the tracks. For the control of the two guard interlockings there was a command interlocking at the reception building . In 1966, the German Federal Railway replaced the guards interlockings by a still-operated track plan pushbutton interlocking the type Lorenz Sp Dr L30 that was installed in the signal box porch of the reception building. The two no longer needed switch towers were demolished at the end of the 1960s.

traffic

passenger traffic

On September 1, 1847, regular passenger traffic began at Bobingen station. In the first year of operation, two pairs of passenger trains ran between Augsburg and Kaufbeuren. With the opening of the entire Ludwigs-Süd-Nord-Bahn in 1854, the number of trains in Bobingen increased significantly. From 1877 the trains of the Lechfeldbahn, which were of little importance in passenger traffic, also stopped. In the opening year 1877, three pairs of trains ran from Augsburg via Bobingen and Kaufering to Landsberg. In 1914 Bobingen was served by two express trains and four passenger trains on the Ludwigs-Süd-Nord-Bahn Augsburg-Buchloe , while the express trains ran through the station without stopping. There were other suburban trains between Augsburg and Schwabmünchen. Seven pairs of trains ran on the Lechfeldbahn between Augsburg and Landsberg, four of which continued on the Fuchstalbahn in the direction of Schongau . In 1939 the Deutsche Reichsbahn used eight pairs of passenger trains between Augsburg and Buchloe, some of which continued to Kempten, three between Augsburg and Schwabmünchen and six pairs of trains on the Lechfeldbahn between Augsburg and Kaufering. After a temporary decline in World War II , the number of trains rose again from the 1950s on both routes, but fell again in the 1960s and 1970s, particularly on the Lechfeldbahn. In 1971 five pairs of trains were still running in the direction of Landsberg and Schongau. Up until the 1960s, the company's own passenger traffic took place on the siding to the Hoechst paintworks. In the morning, a train drove for the employees from the loading ramp at Bobingen station to various stops on the factory premises and back again in the evening. In 1985, the Bobingen train station and the lines to Schwabmünchen and Klosterlechfeld were integrated into the Augsburg Transport Association, which resulted in an upswing in passenger traffic. In 1993, the Deutsche Bundesbahn introduced an hourly service on both routes with the Allgäu-Swabia cycle .

Class 642 as a regional train to Augsburg

Bobingen station is currently integrated into the Allgäu diesel network and the Augsburg I diesel network:

Diesel network Allgäu: regional express trains of the DB Regio run every two hours from Augsburg to Memmingen and Bad Wörishofen with train sharing in Türkheim . Here are diesel railcars of series 642 and series 612 used.

Diesel network Augsburg I: The Bayerische Regiobahn ( Transdev ) runs every two hours from Augsburg to Füssen with amplifiers from Augsburg to Buchloe, some of which are extended to Marktoberdorf . The Lechfeldbahn is also served by the Bayerische Regiobahn with hourly regional trains from Augsburg to Landsberg or Kaufering. Additional regional trains between Augsburg and Bobingen provide approximately 10 to 15 minute intervals on this section. LINT railcars are used in single or multiple units.

In the outskirts of the day, the station is served by individual trains from Kempten, Lindau and Oberstdorf to Augsburg with class 612 diesel multiple units.

Freight transport

former track at the Fasan explosives factory

The local freight traffic in Bobingen was initially of little importance. From 1877 military trains to Lagerlechfeld branched off from the Ludwigs-Süd-Nord-Bahn to the Lechfeldbahn in Bobingen. During the First World War, the station gained greater importance in freight transport from 1915 with the construction of the siding to the artificial silk and powder factory. The freight trains were driven within the plant with a two-axle steam locomotive, which was named Frieda . At the end of the 1920s, a three-axle steam locomotive called Liesl was added. With the construction of the Fasan explosives factory next to the artificial silk factory in 1938, freight traffic increased on the now expanded siding. A steam storage locomotive was procured from Borsig for transporting goods to the explosives factory , in 1939 the Frieda steam locomotive, which was no longer needed, and the Liesl locomotive a few years later, were retired. After the Second World War, the siding for servicing the Hoechst paintworks was continued and a second steam storage locomotive was acquired in 1956.

For local freight and shunting in Bobingen own was small diesel locomotive of Köf III stationed, which was housed in a corrugated iron locomotive shed. The transport of sugar beets was important at Bobingen station . The DB assembled the freight wagons loaded with sugar beets from the neighboring stations in Bobingen into block trains that were driven to the sugar factory in Rain . From the 1970s onwards, freight traffic continued to decline due to increasing individual traffic. At the beginning of the 1970s, the military freight traffic on the Lechfeldbahn ended. In the 1970s, the DB stopped general cargo loading in Bobingen and withdrew the small locomotives in the early 1980s. In December 1992 the transport of sugar beet was given up and a few years later the local freight traffic was completely stopped. Today, goods traffic is only carried out on the siding to the Hoechst paintworks , Trevira since 1996 . The two steam storage locomotives were taken out of service there in spring 1997. Since then, diesel locomotives lead the series 360-364 of DB Cargo freight transport on the siding by. While at times up to three trains a day arrived at the plant, now only two to three freight trains run a week.
