history
State Railroad Time
During the construction of the Remsbahn in 1861 , the Royal Württemberg State Railroad set up a station for Fellbach as the only station between Cannstatt and Waiblingen on Schmidener Feld . At the time it was about one and a half kilometers north of Fellbach and about one and a half kilometers south of Schmiden (Fellbach), on the boundary between the two communities. Even before the railway was built, Fellbach had almost 3,000 inhabitants and was one of the largest villages in the country.
On July 25, 1861 the Remsthalbahn opened . The reception building has been preserved and is still used as such today. It was built from light sandstone and has two full floors and a knee stick . Windows and doors on the ground floor are provided with round arches.
Between 1862 and 1869 the newly established post office also used the building. Then it was moved to Cannstatter Straße. In 1864 the state railway put a second track between Cannstatt and Fellbach into operation.
The volume of traffic rose continuously, as did the population of Fellbach and Schmiden, which both grew in the direction of the station.
Reichsbahn time
The Deutsche Reichsbahn enlarged the station between 1923 and 1925. A platform underpass was built for travelers.
At the end of the 1920s, the city of Stuttgart tried to incorporate Fellbach. On May 4, 1929, the Stuttgart trams extended their line network to the Fellbach Luther Church. For some commuters, this made a long-cherished wish come true, as the new means of transport in the town center saved the trip to the train station. The Reichsbahn felt this: In the annual balance sheet for 1928, the number of passengers was 337,868, by 1932 this figure had fallen to 228,417.
In October 1931 the local council negotiated with a representative of the Stuttgart city administration. As a condition for incorporation, the municipal councils demanded, among other things, the extension of the tram line to the train station, the closure of the level crossing in favor of a passage at the end of Bahnhofstrasse, as well as a rapid transit connection between Stuttgart and Fellbach.
The Stuttgart City Council discussed these and other demands and rejected the contract for the incorporation on March 8, 1932, which was planned for April 1, 1932. Fellbach remained independent and was granted town charter on October 29, 1933, as the "largest village in Württemberg" until then - now numbering over 11,000.
Federal Railroad Time
On October 2, 1949, the Deutsche Bundesbahn electrified the Bad Cannstatt – Waiblingen section. This started electrical suburban traffic between Stuttgart and Waiblingen. From 1959, waiting at the level crossing on Bahnhofstrasse was a thing of the past when an underpass was completed.
On January 1, 1973 Schmiden was incorporated after Fellbach and Schmiden had grown together for decades at the level of the train station.
Between 1979 and 1981, the station underwent extensive track plan changes as part of the expansion work for the S-Bahn, so the line between Waiblingen and Bad Cannstatt was expanded to four tracks. At the eastern end of the station over-control center and continue towards Waiblingen was a flying junction built from the Bad Cannstatt coming, in the direction of operating the train in Murr operated route line operation auszufädeln.
The expansion of the station and the subsequent sections of the route was part of the 2nd execution contract for the Stuttgart S-Bahn, which was concluded in 1975.
Rail operations
The station is served by lines S2 and S3 of the Stuttgart S-Bahn. The S-Bahn in the direction of Waiblingen stop on platform 1, on the house platform . Track 2 is used by trains going through to Waiblingen and has no platform. There are no longer any scheduled trains stopping on track 3; the track is used by trains going through to the west. The S-Bahn towards Bad Cannstatt stop on platform 4. Platform 5, without a platform, serves as a passing track for trains heading towards Bad Cannstatt.
Fellbach station is assigned to station category 3. It has a relay interlocking of the type DrS60 and is now operated remotely from Waiblingen.
