business

The Eckernförde train station has three tracks with a platform .

  • Track 1: the house platform serves the continuous trains Kiel - Flensburg and Flensburg - Kiel, in the off-peak hours partly the trains Kiel - Eckernförde - Kiel
  • Track 2: In the off-peak hours, some of the trains running on the entire route stop here, as well as some of the Kiel – Eckernförde – Kiel trains
  • Track 3: RB Kiel – Eckernförde – Kiel

The length of the platforms was (rounded to full meters) 225 meters for track 1, 370 meters for track 2 and 426 meters for track 3. The latter was dismantled to a butt track . Tracks 2 and 3 used to be on a central platform . As a result of the shortening of track 3 and after modernization measures in 2016, in which the platform edges were increased to 76 centimeters, both tracks are provided with an outer platform that can be reached via a restricted pedestrian crossing . After the modernization measures, the platform on track 1 is 207 meters long, that on track 2: 218 meters and that on track 3: 169 meters.

The Kiel – Flensburg railway line is operated every hour by the Schleswig-Holstein regional railway (with deviations in the marginal hours) ; the half-hourly trains between Kiel and Eckernförde were temporarily (2010/2011) operated by the Nord-Ostsee-Bahn . On most days, Eckernförde is served between around 4:30 a.m. and around 1:20 a.m.

Kiel – Flensburg railway line

Bus transport

The ZOB Eckernförde is located on the former goods handling site south of the station building . Inner-city and regional bus lines go from him to Kiel, Kappeln, Owschlag, Schleswig and Rendsburg, among others. Stadtverkehr Eckernförde carries out the city ​​traffic , the regional bus traffic operates the car power .

history

Eckernförde was mentioned as a planned train station very early in German railway history around 1844. The place should be the end point of the "Rendsburg – Eckernförde Railway" as well as a train station of a route from Kiel via Gettorf, Eckernförde and Missunde to Schleswig.

The Kiel-Eckernförde-Flensburg Railway Company (KEFE) opened the Kiel – Eckernförde section on July 1, 1881 and the Eckernförde – Flensburg section of the then new railway connection on December 21 of the same year. Traffic developed satisfactorily, so that the Prussian State Railways took over the railway on July 1, 1903. This was transferred to the Deutsche Reichsbahn on April 1, 1920 .

Railway depot Eckernförde

Since KEFE could not find enough space to build a railway depot with a locomotive line, locomotive shed , water tower, turntable and coaling facilities neither in Kiel nor in Flensburg , these were built in the area of ​​the Eckernförde train station. The locomotives and trains were deployed from Eckernförde. With the takeover of the railway line by the Prussian State Railways, these facilities lost their importance. On October 31, 1925, the Eckernförde depot had the following locomotives:

On an unspecified date after April 1, 1926, the office was downgraded to a locomotive station, after which operations were planned from Kiel and Flensburg.

In 1932, the locomotive station was subordinated to the Neumünster railway depot . In 1941 responsibility changed to the Kiel depot. From the 1960s to the beginning of the 1990s, the station was only assigned one diesel locomotive to maintain the port railway operations . The locomotive shed, which consisted of two three-track rectangular segments, had to give way to a parking lot after the port railway was shut down.

Narrow-gauge station

The Eckernförde-Kappelner Schmalspurbahn-Gesellschaft opened a railway line to Kappeln on January 26, 1889, with the terminus at the north end of the Eckernförde station on its own tracks ending there. Two of the tracks were used for passenger traffic.

The next station of the company was the Schwansener Bahnhof (later: Kreisbahnhof ) 500 meters further north . On April 1, 1903, the Eckernförde district took over this railway line (henceforth: Kreisbahnen ) and opened a second to Owschlag on October 30, 1904 , which existed until 1954.

To distinguish between the "Kreisbahnhof Eckernförde" and three other Eckernförde district railways stations (" Carlshöhe ", " Schnaap " and, from 1947, "Hasenheide"), the name Eckernförde State Station , at times Reichsbahnhof Eckernförde and after the Second World War a period long Eckernförde Hauptbahnhof was introduced. Regular operations of the Eckernförde district railways were discontinued in 1958.

business

The fact that after the Second World War the British Military Governors of Schleswig-Holstein ( Regional Commissioners ; the first was Hugh de Crespigny ) resided in the Altenhof manor house , but had their offices in the Somerset House in Kiel , led to the route being repaired and resumed relatively quickly of the rail traffic after the end of the war between Kiel and Eckernförde with a morning and an evening connection and a single stop at Altenhof train station. The trains only had a single passenger car for the population and a saloon car for the British military governor. At the end of the war, the Eckernförde train station was the target of refugee transport trains. On May 1, 1945, reaching command special train Auerhahn of Karl Doenitz , of Plön coming, Eckernförde. The next day the train, which was under the command of Lieutenant Asmus Jepsen , left the station in the direction of Flensburg, but only reached Sörup station . Asmus Jepsen became a victim of the Nazi naval justice shortly afterwards due to problems with the train .

At times, the station's staff consisted of around 50 employees.

From 1972 to 1999, the Eckernförde station was considered a long-distance station due to individual D and IC train connections on the weekends - these included the Eckernförde – Koblenz (initially from Flensburg), Cologne – Eckernförde and Düsseldorf – Hannover – Eckernförde connections . These were mainly used to transport Bundeswehr soldiers. In the first few years after the opening of the seaside resort Damp 2000 in 1972, special IC trains ran from Cologne to Eckernförde and back for weekend vacationers. As a long-distance trains also were the express trains (so-called. " Hedge Neil trains "), which since the 1960s weekdays Flensburg with Goslar and Bad Harzburg or Kreiensen combined and an occasional weekday express train connection from Eckernförde (Mondays from Flensburg) to Cologne , which drove as an express train on the route sections (Flensburg−) Eckernförde − Kiel and Hagen −Köln.

At the beginning of the 1980s there were plans to shut down the Kiel – Flensburg railway north of Eckernförde or to shut down the whole. At the end of 1983 these plans were shelved again.

The first reception building of the Eckernförde train station - built in 1881/82 according to plans by the Kiel architect Heinrich Moldenschardt and then expanded several times to around three to four times its original size - was demolished in 1973 after it had been used as a film set for a part of the TV adaptation of Hans Fallada's novel Farmers, Bonzen and Bombs . Only the signal box extension remained until the completion of the new reception building in 1974. Shortly before, the construction of the freight station (today: ZOB area) to the south of the station building had to give way. The multiple expansions of the first reception building included the addition of a waiting room and a prince's room in 1901, additions for the railway post office, hotel, restaurant, and railway workers' apartments.

The current station building consists of four hexagons and a two-legged part in the north.

outlook

The station building, which was built in 1973/1974, was to be replaced by a new building by around 2017, which, in addition to the rail service areas and the station mission, should offer space for a cinema and retail stores. No corresponding plans had been completed by May 2017, and it is uncertain whether these plans will be carried out.

Project Stadtregionalbahn Kiel

As part of the StadtRegionalBahn Kiel project , one of the lines should run to Eckernförde and be served twice an hour - this planned line should run between Kiel-Suchsdorf and Kiel Central Station on a different route across the university. According to these plans, the line should be electrified, a second station should be built in Eckernförde in the south of the city and the Eckernförde station should be called "Eckernförde Hauptbahnhof". After a negative decision by the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district council in December 2014, the plans for Eckernförde are no longer being pursued.

Eckernförde Süd stop

In August 2018, plans were announced to build the Eckernförde Süd stop (in the Sandkrug district ) , which had already been planned as part of the StadtRegionalBahn Kiel project . This station is to be built immediately north of the confluence of the Domstag in Berliner Straße and opened in 2020/21.
