The Dießen train station is the station of the Upper Bavarian market Diessen . It is located on the Ammerseebahn from Mering via Geltendorf to Weilheim . The station has two platform tracks and belongs to station category 6 of DB Station & Service . It is served by around 50 trains of the Bavarian Regiobahn every day .
When it opened on June 30, 1898, it was the northern end point of the line coming from Weilheim, and when the entire line was completed on December 23, 1898, it became a through station . The station building in Dießen is a listed building . In addition to the Dießen train station, there are also the Riederau and St. Alban stops in Dießen am Ammersee .
location
Dießen train station is located in the east of the town center of Dießen directly on the banks of the Ammersee . The station building is to the west of the tracks on Bahnhofstrasse and has the address Bahnhofstrasse 15. To the east of the station is the landing stage for the Ammersee ships, which connect Dießen with Herrsching on the east bank of the Ammersee. To the east of the tracks, Seestrasse runs along a green area. There is a level crossing at the same level in the south and north of the station .
The Ammerseebahn from Mering via Geltendorf to Weilheim ( VzG 5370), where the train station is located, is a single-track and non-electrified main line. It is run by Deutsche Bahn as the route book 985 Augsburg –Weilheim.
history
Initial considerations for the construction of a railway line from Augsburg via Mering to the west bank of the Ammersee and further in the direction of the Alps already existed in the 1870s. In 1872 a railway construction committee was founded in Dießen and in 1886 the planning of a line from Augsburg to Dießen was approved. In the autumn of 1896 the construction of the local line from Mering to Weilheim, known as the Ammerseebahn, began.
On June 30, 1898, Dießen station was opened as the end point of the section from Weilheim to Dießen. From Dießen, ships alternately operated across the Ammersee to Schondorf , where there was a connection to the Mering– Schondorf section that was opened at the same time . On December 23, 1898, the gap between Schondorf and Dießen was closed. At first the station had a makeshift wooden barrack with a gable roof as a reception building. Due to the increasing importance of the railway station in the excursion and freight transport, the built Royal Bavarian State Railways from December 1901 to October 1902 a larger brick station building in home style , which consists of a two- and a three-storey building with a gabled roof, which are connected by a semi-open waiting hall. As the subsoil near the Ammersee was very soft, the building was erected on piles that were about 200 up to 13 meters deep. The original wooden barracks were moved to Riederau station in 1902 , where they replaced a corrugated iron hut . In 1906, part of the railway embankment in the station area was washed away by a flood of Lake Ammer, which meant that train traffic had to be suspended for a long time.
In addition to its importance in the excursion traffic from Augsburg and Munich to the Ammersee, the Dießen train station was of great importance as a transshipment point for wood and agricultural products. In 1913 the Ammerseebahn was raised from a local line to the main line due to the increasing volume of traffic . For the additional trains, the station received another siding (track 3) and loading track 4. In 1924, a post office building with a hip roof , which is now a listed building, was built opposite the station building in Dießen . In 1937, the Deutsche Reichsbahn put a two-storey mechanical signal box of the standard design into operation in the north of the station , which was called Signal Box 1. In 1938 the reception building was given a signal box front building with a mechanical command signal box (signal box 2), and the waiting hall was slightly changed.
In 1957 the building was slightly rebuilt again. In 1962, the curve in the southern area of the station was defused and the tracks were moved up to 20 meters to the east. In 1972 the Deutsche Bundesbahn closed the station's second ticket office and shut down the goods shed. In the 1980s, almost all loading and siding tracks were closed and some of them were dismantled, including the former coal track (track 4). From there, whole truckloads of coal could be tipped into a deep coal bunker for the Ammerseedampfschifffahrt. The coal bunker was connected to the steam bridge via a narrow-gauge railway, on which the coal was transported in small wagons. This practice could be observed until shortly before the end of steam navigation on the Ammersee, in 1975. After the end of the coal loading, the narrow-gauge railway was completely dismantled. At the end of the 1990s, Deutsche Bahn shut down the third platform track, the signals were crossed out until the final decommissioning of track 3 in 2007 (marked as invalid).
In 2002 the station building in Dießen was placed under monument protection. In order to create space for an extension of the station car park in the north-west of the reception building, the loading tracks, which had already been closed in the 1980s, and the no longer required goods ramp at Stellwerk 1 were dismantled in 2003. In April 2004, the vacant goods shed was demolished to make room for a bus stop. The coal bunker was demolished in November 2011 due to poor building fabric. The ticket office in the reception building was closed on November 1, 2009 and a new side platform was put into operation on November 16, 2009 . On November 28, 2009, the DB opened a new electronic signal box that is remote-controlled from Utting. The mechanical signal boxes were taken out of service and the facilities expanded in the following period. The wire-operated flood barrier in the south that had existed up until then was deleted without replacement, the mechanical barrier in the north at signal box 1 has been electronically controlled since November 2009. Dießen train station has been vacant since then. The former signal box 1 was taken over by a private person.
construction
Reception building
The station building of Dießen train station, which has been a listed building since 2002, was built between December 1901 and October 1902. It is kept in the home style and consists of a three-story building in the north and a two-story building in the south, which have gable roofs and stand at the gable to the rails. The service rooms and a service apartment were located in the northern part and the overnight rooms for train drivers in the southern part. The two buildings are connected by a covered waiting hall open to the track side. The waiting hall originally closed off on the track side with five arcades , the middle of which was designed in Art Nouveau style. The arches were removed during the renovation of the waiting hall in 1938 and replaced by simple wooden supports. The upper floors of the buildings are paneled with wood. To the north of the station building was a flat service building that was demolished in the 1980s, and a signal box extension was added to the track side of the three-storey building. At the main entrance there is a wall painting showing a fisher woman with the Dießen coat of arms and a potter with the Bavarian coat of arms and the German imperial eagle . On April 1, 2007, Deutsche Bahn sold the station building to a private person, who in February 2011 sold it to the community of Dießen for EUR 106,000.
The former premises of the dispatcher and the ticket office were empty for a long time, and from 2010 a post office was housed in the counter. In 2014 and 2015, the station building in Dießen was rebuilt and renovated in two construction phases. Until March 2015, the open waiting hall was closed with a glass facade on the track side and housed a tourist information office and the post office previously located in the counter. A kiosk and a café were built in the signal box front building and in the counter room by autumn 2015. The wooden ceiling and the old wall tiles were preserved due to the monument protection requirements and the coloring of the walls was matched to the original colors. The first construction phase cost 549,000 euros, a total of around 1.1 million euros was estimated.
Track systems
As an important intermediate station on the Ammerseebahn, the station originally had relatively extensive track systems. In the early years there were two platform tracks and additional loading tracks. In 1913, two more main tracks were added to the east of the existing facilities with a third platform track and a platform-free loading track. Track 4 without a platform was later turned into a stump track by dismantling the switch in the direction of Weilheim . After the Second World War, there were three platform tracks at Dießen station, which were located on a house platform and two central platforms . To the east of the platform tracks was the siding , which was connected to track 3 in the direction of Utting and designed as a butt track (track 4) and served as a coal track. In the west of the station there was a loading track connected to track 1 on both sides, which served the loading ramp at the goods shed with two connections to the south and north and the loading road as an open loading track . From this loading track branched off to the west, another loading track and a siding with small locomotive sheds . In the 1980s, almost all loading and sidings were closed and some of them were dismantled; the three platform tracks remained. Tracks 1 and 2 were used for train crossings, while track 3 served as a retaining track for holiday and freight traffic and as a siding for special and service trains. At the end of the 1990s, track 3 was closed, but fragments of it have been preserved to this day.
On October 16, 2009, a newly built 55 cm high side platform was put into operation to replace the central platform on track 2, which is offset to the north of the station building and the main platform. The house platform on track 1 was modernized and also increased to 55 cm. Both platforms are equipped with guide strips for the blind and connected to each other via a level crossing.
| track | Usable length | Platform height | use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 120 m | 55 cm | Trains in the direction of Mering |
| 2 | 120 m | 55 cm | Trains in the direction of Weilheim |
Signal boxes
Until the modernization of the Dießen train station in the 1930s, the signal box facilities of the Dießen train station were outdoors on the platform. In 1937 the Deutsche Reichsbahn put a two-storey mechanical signal box of the standard design into operation in the northern exit of the station , which was called Signal Box 1 and served as a guard signal box . In 1938 it opened a mechanical command signal box of the standard design in the newly built signal box front building. The tensioning systems of the command interlocking were located in the basement of the reception building, for the guard interlocking they were installed in the basement of the interlocking building.
On 28 November 2009, the DB took a new Diessen electronic interlocking of the type Scheidt & Bachmann in operation. It is controlled remotely from an electronic signal box in Utting . The two old mechanical signal boxes were shut down and the station's form signals were replaced by light signals based on the Ks signal system. In the two-storey building of the guard interlocking, the interlocking equipment was expanded and the building was sold to a private person. The command signal box (signal box 2) was also gutted in the course of the renovation of the reception building in 2015 and the signal box front was incorporated into the newly established café.
traffic
passenger traffic
In 1914, five passenger trains and one express train stopped at Dießen and ran the entire length of the Ammerseebahn, as well as one passenger train from Geltendorf to Weilheim. After the First World War , the number of trains was increased so that in 1934 eight pairs of trains served Dießen station a day, five of which were passenger trains and three express trains. From around 1918, the Dießen train station was also served by express trains from western and northern Germany to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Until 1943 a pair of express trains stopped daily from Berlin Anhalter Bahnhof via Augsburg and Garmisch-Partenkirchen to Innsbruck . In the 1920s and 1930s, the station was also very important for excursion traffic from Augsburg to the Ammersee. During the Second World War and the post-war period, the volume of passenger traffic fell again, in 1950 five passenger trains continued to run, but only one express train. In the 1950s, the volume of traffic rose sharply, so that the Deutsche Bundesbahn doubled the number of trains. In the timetable year 1960, nine passenger trains, two express trains and one express train ran again at Dießen station. Because of its great importance in excursion traffic, additional bathing trains ran from Augsburg to Diessen in the summer. In the period that followed, the number of passenger trains was reduced and more express trains were used. In 1975 there were only seven local trains , but also four express trains and two express trains. By 1990, more local trains were replaced by express trains, by 1990 the number of local trains had dropped to four, with eight express trains running simultaneously and one express train. From 1988, the FD Ammersee from Dortmund to Mittenwald stopped in Dießen , and in 1991 it was the last pair of express trains on the Ammerseebahn. By end 2008 inverted from Augsburg to Weilheim hourly regional trains the Deutsche Bahn , with diesel locomotives of the class 218 and n-wagon or railcar of the series 628 and 642 were operated. In addition, individual regional trains from the direction of Schongau with class 642 diesel multiple units ended at Dießen station.
Since 14 December 2008, the station is in every hour through the features of the Bavarian regional train (BRB) of Augsburg-Oberhausen about Weilheim to Schongau with diesel railcars of the type LINT 41 served. During rush hour, additional amplifier trains run from Geltendorf to Peißenberg every hour, so that every half hour is established.
Freight transport
The Dießen train station was originally of relatively great importance in freight traffic, with mainly general cargo and agricultural products such as milk being loaded. For the Ammerseedampfschifffahrt coal was also loaded in Dießen, for which there was a separate coal bunker on track 4. Between the coal bunker and the jetty there was a small, narrow-gauge wagon train to transport the coal . There was a separate small locomotive shed at Dießen station for the freight locomotives. Since the local loading traffic fell sharply after the Second World War, traffic via the goods shed was discontinued in 1972. In 1985, 14 freight wagons were delivered to Dießen every month, the station was served from the direction of Weilheim. Until the 1990s, a cattle train regularly stopped on the third platform track. Today there is no longer any scheduled freight traffic at Dießen station.
