The Echterdingen train station is located at the 22.7 kilometer of the Stuttgart-Rohr – Filderstadt railway line and is a station in the Stuttgart S-Bahn network . According to the railway building and operating regulations, however, it is not a train station , but a stopping point .
history
Filderbahn time
Echterdingen's first rail connection took place on December 12, 1888, when the Filderbahn-Gesellschaft opened the narrow-gauge steam tram line Degerloch-Möhringen-Hohenheim . The breakpoint was on Möhringen , at the Landhaus Landhaus , at the intersection of the road from Degerloch to Echterdingen and that from Möhringen to Plieningen . The distance to the place itself was around four kilometers. A refuge was set up for travelers.
On August 22, 1891, planning began for a new line from Möhringen to Echterdingen , the construction of which was approved by the Foreign Ministry on April 14, 1896. The narrow-gauge railway continued from Echterdingen to Neuhausen . Its inauguration took place on December 23, 1897, and regular operations began the next day. Also on December 24, 1897, the station on the Möhringen – Hohenheim route was given the name Landhaus. This name can still be found today in the network plan of the Stuttgarter Straßenbahnen AG . However, due to the relocation of the route in 1906, the existing stop is further south.
The Echterdingen station building no longer exists. It was a unit train station of type IIIa with a long goods shed. It resembled the building that was still preserved in Bernhausen . There was a service room and two waiting rooms on the ground floor, and an apartment on the two upper floors. The change of gauge to standard gauge on the Möhringen – Neuhausen line took place on November 1, 1902.
Route takeover and closure
On October 1, 1920, the Deutsche Reichsbahn opened the Rohr –Echterdingen railway line . It acquired the Echterdingen – Neuhausen section from the city of Stuttgart , which bought the Filderbahn. At the same time, the connection from Unteraichen to Echterdingen was discontinued. On the line from Unteraichen to Leinfelden , which was built to compensate for this , the municipal Filderbahn stopped passenger traffic in 1922.
The passenger trains to Vaihingen did not have the expected number of people. The municipal administrations of Echterdingen and Leinfelden therefore negotiated with the Stuttgart city administration, the Reichsbahn and the Stuttgarter Straßenbahnen AG about a connection to Möhringen. Construction work began in the spring of 1927 and on March 31, 1928 the first interurban tram reached the Echterdingen-Ort terminus. The railway line of the Reichsbahn continuously lost its importance until the German Federal Railroad stopped the passenger traffic on August 1st, 1955.
reactivation
In the 1960s, the traffic expert Professor Walther Lambert carried out investigations into the construction of an S-Bahn network for Stuttgart and the surrounding area. He advocated reactivating the Stuttgart-Rohr – Echterdingen route and, from there, a new route to the airport .
In 1984, the Federal Railroad began expanding the two-track system and electrification. Completion took more time than planned and could only take place on April 18, 1993. The old station building was demolished and the new train station built as a trough structure . The reasons for this are the introduction of the new route to the airport, the avoidance of a level crossing on the main road and the noise protection. On the western Filderbahnstrasse, a new square has been created with six bus platforms (two of which are on the main street) and two entrances to the train station, which has a central platform. A footbridge with platform access at the level of Burgstrasse connects Filderbahnstrasse with Ziegeleistrasse and the residential area In den Gärtlesäckern (still undeveloped in 1993). To the east of it, a parking garage spans the two tracks.
The car park built in the early 1980s is to be renovated for 4 million euros.
Rail operations
The stop is served by lines S2 and S3 of the Stuttgart S-Bahn. Track 1 is used for trains in the direction of Rohr, track 2 for those in the direction of the airport / exhibition center.
The station Echterdingen corresponds, according to the Deutsche Bahn AG of Bahnhof Category 4th
