The Eben im Pongau train station is located in the Austrian state of Salzburg im Pongau . It is the station of the Ennstalbahn in the municipality of Eben im Pongau . The train station is a regional traffic stop , the reception building is a listed building .

history

The railway line Selzthal - Bischofshofen - Wörgl (Styria - Tyrol), at times also called Giselabahn , was built by the Kaiserin-Elisabeth-Bahn . It was opened on August 6, 1875. This closed an important gap in the Austro-Hungarian railway network. The Eben train station was particularly important as a transfer point to Katschbergstrasse (today B99) as an important transition to Salzburg's Lungau and Carinthia . Since the construction of the Tauern Railway (via Gastein) in 1909 and even more so of the Tauern Autobahn  (A10) in the 1970s, this aspect has lost its importance. In addition, it is the apex of the route, it lies directly on the valley pass that connects the Salzachtal and Ennstal , and also gave the town of Eben its name. Therefore it was possibly changed here.

While many of the larger stations - including the inner-Alpine lines - fell victim to the bombings of World War II, the station, which was already insignificant at the time, was preserved in its original condition from the 1870s. It was therefore placed under monument protection.

Structural matters

Reception building, front side

The reception building of the station is about 25 meters long, two-story building with a gable roof . In terms of its layout, it corresponds entirely to the uniform pattern of the station buildings of the monarchy period, with a waiting room on the high ground floor and service apartments on the upper floor.The facade is in the style of the neo-Renaissance with partly stone, partly imitation plinths , stuccoed corner blocks , surrounding ornamental roof cornices and wide window window surrounds designed. Today it presents itself in a cool broken oxide red - the upper floor is brightened - colored with gray-white veneer. The original canopy on the platform side is not preserved.

The station has 175 parking spaces and around 150 bicycle parking spaces. It was redesigned to be barrier-free at the beginning of the 2010s (lift, toilet, parking spaces).

business

The railway line is still an important alpine transversal from the Alpine foothills to Southeast Europe and an east-west connection within Austria , but only regional trains stop here from Bischofshofen to Radstadt , partly via Schladming to Sankt Michael in Upper Styria . All passenger trains are part of the Salzburg Transport Association  (SVV). The journey time to Bischofshofen is a good 20 minutes, to Radstadt 8 minutes and to Selzthal about 1½ hours.

The station serves as a passing point for the single-track Ennstalbahn.
