Railway stations in Baden-Württemberg

The Denzlingen station is a separation station in Baden-Württemberg , where the Elztalbahn Denzlingen - Elzach branches off the main line Mannheim – Karlsruhe – Freiburg – Basel (Rhine Valley Railway). It is served by trains from Deutsche Bahn AG (DB) and Breisgau-S-Bahn GmbH (BSB) and has a total of four platform tracks. The station belongs to station category 4.

history

The history of the Denzlingen station began with the commissioning of the Offenburg - Freiburg (Breisgau) Hbf section of the Rhine Valley Railway from Mannheim via Karlsruhe and Freiburg to Basel on July 30, 1845.

The Elztalbahn in the direction of Waldkirch was finally completed in 1875 on the initiative of the city of Waldkirch. The city of Waldkirch transferred the operation, which opened on January 1, 1875, to the Grand Ducal Baden State Railways . It was not until 1901 that the Elz Valley Railway was extended by twelve kilometers to its current end point in Elzach .

In 1955, the entire route of the Rhine Valley Railway and with it the Denzlingen station was electrified .

In 1997 the Elztalbahn was selected by the Breisgau Regional Transport Association (ZRF) together with the Breisacher Bahn as a pilot route for the integrated regional transport concept "Breisgau-S-Bahn 2005". In the following years, the range of passenger services was expanded and the railway facilities were comprehensively renovated and renewed.

The underpass to the central platform was built in the early 1980s, at the same time as the Vörstetter Strasse underpass. Previously, the central platform was accessible to passengers via a ford over the tracks. A sliding barrier between the tracks was opened with a clear announcement by the station employee on duty before a train arrived on track 2, and again after it had left - similar to today in Waldkirch, but manually. The position of the ford is still recognizable today (2018) by the corrugated curb on platform 2 opposite the station building.

Reception building

The rather imposing reception building of the Denzlinger Bahnhof now houses a bakery branch on the ground floor . The upper floor is privately owned.

Track systems

Denzlingen station has three continuous main tracks, all of which have a platform . Another platform track with the number 5 branches off from main track 1 in a northerly direction, which is the starting point of the Elztalbahn. There are also two sidings without a platform .

  • Track 1 is the continuous track on the house platform . Today all regional trains of the Deutsche Bahn in the direction of Offenburg run here.
  • Track 2 is a through track and shares a central platform with track 3 . The DB trains to Basel and the BSB trains to Freiburg stop here.
  • Track 3 on the central platform of track 2 is now only used as a sideline for trains heading south.
  • The BSB trains in the direction of Waldkirch and Elzach stop on track 5 , which branches off from track 1 in the north .
  • The tracks 6 and 7 , which as a stump tracks for freight transport are used, are still visible today and are used by Deutsche Bahn as sidings used for work trains. The municipality of Denzlingen plans to dismantle these tracks and use the area for a P + R parking garage.

Access to the central platform is through an underpass with stairs and ramps. There are no elevators here. This means that boarding the trains that run here is barrier-free.

Train connections

Denzlingen is served by 120 trains a day. There are direct connections to Basel , Freiburg im Breisgau , Offenburg and Karlsruhe . The community belongs to the Regio-Verkehrsverbund Freiburg (RVF).

Long-distance transport

As planned, no long-distance trains stop in Denzlingen . The next station, which is scheduled for long-distance traffic, is Freiburg (Breisgau) Hauptbahnhof. However, the Denzlinger Bahnhof occasionally serves as a substitute stop during construction work around Freiburg Central Station, i.e. when long-distance trains have to use the Freiburg freight bypass .

Local transport

Denzlingen is served by the Regional Express trains between Offenburg and Basel as scheduled. There are also - mostly during rush hour - individual regional trains between Basel or Neuchâtel to Offenburg and sometimes further to Karlsruhe .

On the Elz Valley Railway to Waldkirch and Elzach, the Breisgau S-Bahn runs every 30 to 60 minutes. Most trains on the Elztalbahn already start in Freiburg.

Bus transport

The central bus station (ZOB) with six bus platforms is located to the east of the two goods stabling tracks . The regional and urban bus routes that connect the station with the surrounding cities, towns and villages operate there. A bus line complements the Elztalbahn in the direction of Waldkirch and Elzach (line 7206). A seventh bus platform is located to the south of the bus station and separates the bus station and the reception building. Only buses and taxis run there in the event of a rail replacement service .
