Railway stations in Coburg
In Coburg there are two passenger stations, two stops and a freight station .
Coburg train station
The Coburg train station is the main station for the city of Coburg and the surrounding area. The railway lines to Bad Rodach , to Ernstthal am Rennsteig via Sonneberg , to Lichtenfels and Nuremberg and to Kulmbach begin here . Since December 2017, individual ICE stops have also been available from the Nuremberg – Erfurt high-speed line .
The station has five tracks, a service center and several shops in the reception building. All bus lines of Omnibusverkehr Franken and also the Coburg city bus lines (SÜC) stop at the train station . In autumn 2007, construction began on the central bus station (ZOB) with twelve stopping places and three waiting places. Completion was scheduled for the end of 2008, but was delayed until the end of August 2009. The ZOB is intended to link the three local transport products rail , city bus and regional bus and thus make local transport in Coburg more attractive.
Creidlitz station
The Creidlitz train station is located at the southern end of Coburg on the Werra Railway at kilometer 134.77 between the Coburg train station and the Grub am Forst stop . Despite having two platforms, the station is rather insignificant today, as only the regional trains to Coburg and in the opposite direction to Lichtenfels stop here. The trains to Lichtenfels and Coburg depart as scheduled from the eastern house platform 1. The station building made of red brickwork was built at the end of the 19th century. Due to its age, it is one of the most important station buildings in the Coburg region and is a listed building. In the course of the construction of the Itzgrundbahn to Rossach, the wedge station with two platforms was built in 1900, and a platform was added again in 1911 with the construction of the second track to Coburg. The two tracks of the Werra Railway run on the eastern side, the Itzgrund Railway track on the western side and, parallel to it, a second track for the goods shed. In 1950 the station including the branch to Rossach was electrified. In 2004 the line to Rossach was closed. Since the section in the direction of Lichtenfels is single-track, there are frequent train crossings in the station. Until 2016, the station still had form signals and manually operated level barriers . As part of the double-track expansion of the line to the Niederfüllbach connecting curve , the shape signals were replaced by modern Ks signals . These are controlled by a new signal box controlled by the Coburg signal box. The manual barrier system was replaced by a motorized one in November 2017.
Next to the train station is the Creidlitz / Bahnhof bus stop of the same name, which is served by one line of the city bus and several OVF buses. As part of the expansion of the railway line to connect the Coburg train station to the Nuremberg – Erfurt high-speed line , the station building will be demolished and a new stopping point will be built a little further north.
A street underpass in the area of Creidlitzer Strasse and a pedestrian and cycle path underpass in the Fabrikweg area are to be built in the station area. A corresponding change in the development plan is complained about. Irrespective of this, the relevant planning approval documents should be submitted at the end of March 2017 (as of January 2017).
Coburg-Nord stop

The Coburg-Nord stop is between the Coburg train station and the Dörfles-Esbach stop at 1.3 km of the Coburg – Ernstthal railway on the Rennsteig . It was built on the route of the disused line to Eisfeld and put into operation together with the Rödental- Mitte station on December 11, 2005. The platform is 140 m long and is located directly behind the Coburg tax office on Rodacher Straße.
Coburg-Neuses stop
The Coburg-Neuses stop is between the Coburg train station and the Wiesenfeld stop at 1.99 km. The breakpoint used to be a train station, but was then downgraded to a breakpoint. Here trains of the agilis transport company stop, which operates the Coburg – Bad Rodach route, which run every hour. The stop has two tracks, the continuous main track on the platform and the side track with a branch to the waste-to-energy plant. The station is of little importance as there are very good bus connections to Neuses. The station building has been the clubhouse of the Eisenbahnfreunde Steinachtalbahn -Coburg e. V.
Coburg-Beiersdorf stop
The stop in Beiersdorf on the Coburg – Bad Rodach railway line was closed due to insufficient passenger numbers and a sufficient bus connection to the district. As part of the “Bavarian Stations Offensive”, in which 40 new stops are to be created across Bavaria by 2023, another stop is planned in Beiersdorf. Trains are scheduled to stop from December 2020. Deutsche Bahn expects 160 boarding and disembarking passengers per day. The signing of the construction contract became known on April 9, 2020. Construction work on the 110 m long and 55 cm high platform is scheduled to begin in September 2020; commissioning is still planned for December 2020. Land (75%) and DB Station & Service (25%) share the construction costs of around 900,000 euros .
Freight depot
The freight station is located south of the Coburg passenger station at line kilometers 131.94 of the Werra Railway.
