Additional equipment on each platform includes digital train destination displays and weather-protected seating. All platforms are connected to each other via a pedestrian underpass as well as the station forecourt to the east and the bus station to the west of the railway site.

Tracks 2 and 3 share a shared, 287 m long and 76 cm high, partially roofed central platform , which is connected to the pedestrian tunnel on both sides by means of fixed stairs.

architecture

Erlangen train station, around 1910

The station building, which is now a listed building, was built according to plans by Eduard Rüber as a single-storey sandstone block. It consisted of an open central building with a waiting room for travelers in the north and south. Between 1868 and 1870 the first renovation by Friedrich Bürklein followed , during which the entire building was increased and the veranda was converted into an open loggia with neo-Renaissance elements. In 1919 the loggia was redesigned into a closed porch, which was replaced by a modern waiting room in the 1950s. During the last renovation in 1991, the appearance before the post-war modernization was restored.

history

Erlanger train station, around 1917
The Erlangen train station from the southwest, around 1899

The station was opened by the Bavarian State Railways together with the Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn section from Nuremberg to Bamberg on August 25, 1844, the birthday of King Ludwig I. However, regular operation on the line could only start on September 1, 1844 after all construction work had been completed, passenger operations followed a month later on October 1, 1844. It became the connecting station with the opening of the Erlangen – Graefenberg ("Seku") secondary line on November 17, 1886. The trains of the secondary line usually ended on a track south of the reception building. Due to the increasing volume of traffic, which the single-track line was no longer able to cope with, the double-track line was opened to traffic in 1891 in the direction of Bamberg and in 1892 from Fürth. On October 1, 1894, suburban traffic was set up from Nuremberg main station , with one of its endpoints in Erlangen. The station was also the terminus for passenger trains on the Erlangen – Herzogenaurach line until passenger traffic was discontinued on September 28, 1984. The station experienced a further boom with the start of electric train operations on May 15, 1939. After the Second World War and the division of Germany , the traffic that had previously been on the Nuremberg – Bamberg line shifted north to the line via Würzburg , thus coupling the station from long-distance traffic. Its function as a hub was also lost when the "Seku" was shut down on February 17, 1963. In the late 1960s, in the greater Nuremberg area, as a forerunner for a possible S-Bahn system, an improved local transport offer with frequent intervals on the main lines was introduced, in which Erlangen was also integrated. The plans were concretized in the 1980s and Erlangen was set as the goal for the second stage of the Nuremberg S-Bahn network , but initially it was integrated into the VGN, which was founded on September 27, 1987. After the fall of the Berlin Wall and German reunification , long-distance transport to Berlin was expanded considerably.

In connection with the high-speed line Nuremberg – Erfurt and the S-Bahn to Forchheim , the track plan and the infrastructure of the station were adapted. The two outer tracks (1 and 4) have been used by long-distance and high-speed regional traffic since then, the two middle tracks (2 and 3) are reserved for S-Bahn traffic, for which the existing platform at S-Bahn level (140 m long and 76 cm high). The double track connection between tracks 2 and 3 at the southern end of the platform has been removed and replaced by changing tracks between all tracks north of the station. Between the bridge over Martinsbühler Straße and the bridge over the Schwabach , a turning track was built for the S-Bahn courses ending in Erlangen.

In the course of the expansion, track 1 was rebuilt so that trains can pass through the station at a speed of 160 km / h.

Other stations

In addition to the Erlangen train station, the Erlangen Paul-Gossen-Straße train station and the Erlangen-Bruck Hp stop are also located in the city . These are located south of Erlangen train station and are only served by the S-Bahn .
