The Flieden station is a separation station in the East Hessian community of Flieden , where the Flieden – Gemünden line branches off from the Kinzig Valley Railway Fulda – Frankfurt am Main . According to the current state of planning, the Flieden train station is not on the upgraded / new line from Hanau to Würzburg / Fulda .
history
The Flieden station was opened with the completion of the Kinzig Valley Railway on December 15, 1868. Between the Fulda valley and the Kinzig valley is the Hessian ridge , which the route between Flieden and Schlüchtern had to cross. With the tunneling technology of the time , the required tunnel length for a level crossing could not be achieved and a direct crossing would have required steep ramps . Therefore, the route was led over a hairpin in Elm . This solution was operationally complex: the locomotives had to be relocated in the hairpin bend and the heavy freight trains had to be relocated for the still steep climbs . Therefore, the Fliedener Bahnhof also had an attached railway depot in which the required locomotives were kept and serviced.
Due to the high work involved with the hairpin, the construction of the Schlüchtern tunnel through the thistle lawn began in 1909 in order to shorten the route. The new tunnel was put into operation on May 1, 1914. The now continuous Kinzigtalbahn branched off in Flieden from the line that had continued from Elm to Gemünden since 1879 , Flieden became a separation station and lost a large part of its operational importance. Due to the elimination of the detour via Elm, the railway line between Flieden and Schlüchtern was shortened by 7 km, so that within Flieden station there is a kilometer jump from 85.2 to 92.2 kilometers.
As the locomotives became more and more powerful, the tensioning services to Elm for trains to Gemünden were no longer necessary and the depot was given up.
Today there is a substation and a locomotive shed for tower cars at this point .
The station received an extensive park-and-ride facility in the 1990s and was renovated between 2006 and 2007 , with a new, handicapped-accessible underpass and a new bus stop being installed in addition to the platform renewal . With the exception of the main platform (track 1), which is not in use, all platforms have since made it possible to board the trains at the same height. The station building is a listed building.
In 2019, various works for an electronic signal box in Flieden were tendered. It is to replace the relay interlocking (DrS 57), which may no longer be converted. In the course of the new signal box, changes to the track plan are also planned.
traffic
Until the new timetable 2006/2007 on 10 December 2006, the line was to Gemünden every two hours by regional trains the relation served Bebra-Fulda Flieden-Gemünden. At the request of the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV), the starting point of the trains was moved from Fulda to Schlüchtern, where there are connections to Fulda and Frankfurt (Main). Now the course of the train goes from Schlüchtern over the connecting curve on the opposite side of the Distelrasentunnel to Elm and Gemünden. The regional trains run every two hours between Schlüchtern and Jossa , and every hour from Jossa. During construction work on the connecting curve Schlüchtern – Elm, the trains begin or end in Flieden or are replaced by buses between Schlüchtern and Sterbfritz. From Flieden, the Flieden – Gemünden railway is served by brisk freight traffic, sometimes by long-distance trains at night, as the Hanover – Würzburg high-speed line is primarily used for freight traffic at night. On the Kinzig Valley Railway Fulda – Flieden – Hanau – Frankfurt am Main, the Flieden station is served every hour by Regional Express trains. With a journey time of 13 minutes there is a quick connection to Fulda. The Rhine-Main area , where many Flieden commuters work, is also around an hour away.
With around 260 passenger and freight trains per day (as of 2007), the Kinzig Valley Railway is one of the busiest railway lines in Germany .
