The Ebermannstadt station is a passenger station in the small town of Ebermannstadt in Upper Franconia . It is a through station on the Forchheim – Behringersmühle branch line .
location
The train station is in the south of the city, about a six-minute walk from the city center.
history
The station was put into operation with the opening of the local railway between Forchheim and the then district town of Ebermannstadt on June 1, 1891. Due to some disagreements among the communities in Wiesenttal with regard to the route, the planned route to Gößweinstein (or Behringersmühle ) was initially discontinued instead, on October 4, 1915, the eleven-kilometer extension of the railway to Heiligenstadt went into operation. The First World War severely affected the expansion of the railway lines in Franconian Switzerland at this time . When this came to an end, the Deutsche Reichsbahn took up further expansion of the railway line to Behringersmühle, but was only able to complete it in short sections for financial reasons. The section to Muggendorf was completed on June 15, 1922, to Gößweinstein station on July 9, 1927, and finally to Behringersmühle on October 5, 1930.
From this point on, operations were designed for the Forchheim – Behringersmühle route ; travelers to Heiligenstadt had to change trains at Ebermannstadt station. The station thus served as a branch station, even if the two railway lines were not operationally separated until the Gasseldorf station north of Ebermannstadt.
On the Ebermannstadt – Heiligenstadt section , with the increase in motorized individual traffic and the associated decrease in passenger numbers, on May 29, 1960, for passenger traffic, and on May 26, 1968, for freight traffic as well, and the route was completely dismantled a little later.
Investments
North of the station is the infrastructure border between DB Netz and the Franconian Switzerland Steam Railway (DFS). Scheduled passenger traffic to Forchheim only uses track 1, which ends south of the reception building. The rest of the station is largely used by DFS. In the south of the station, DFS has its operating facilities with a locomotive shed.
Traffic today
Forchheim - Ebermannstadt
On the Forchheim - Ebermannstadt section, one-piece diesel multiple units of the 650 series (Stadler Regio-Shuttle) operated by the private transport company agilis have been running hourly since the takeover on June 12, 2011 . Compared to the previous operation by Deutsche Bahn , more train services also run in the evening and there is a more frequent frequency, even on weekends.
After operations close at around 11 p.m., the multiple unit that had been in service until then will be parked in Ebermannstadt.
Ebermannstadt - Behringersmühle
Passenger traffic on the Ebermannstadt - Behringersmühle route ceased on May 30, 1976. Freight traffic had never played a major role on this section of the route, so the Deutsche Bundesbahn planned to dismantle the track systems. There was resistance to the foreseeable development as early as 1974, when the Franconian Switzerland steam railway finally managed to buy the railway line.
Historical steam or diesel locomotives have been running as museum trains according to a fixed timetable since 1980, now from May 1st to October 31st on every Sunday or public holiday.
