The station Göppingen is a transit station on the 1850 continuously opened Fils Valley Railway Stuttgart - Ulm (kilometer 42.1). It is listed under the name TGO in the operating center directory.
location
The train station is located on the southern outskirts of Göppingen . To the east is the large marshalling yard and freight yard , which is still used occasionally. To the west follows the decommissioned and dismantled smaller of the two goods areas, in which a general cargo loading hall existed until 2012 . The central bus station (ZOB) is also located there .
Construction of the station
In the reception building of the station, there are two kiosks , a bakery , a bookstore and the DB Travel Center . Lockers are also available. The former baggage and express goods hall is no longer used today. A bicycle parking garage operated by the city and an e-bike station have been on the premises since 2013.
The station has seven platform tracks (tracks 1 to 7), but most trains only use tracks 4 (towards Stuttgart ) and 6 (towards Ulm ). Only individual trains run on tracks 1, 5 and 7, tracks 2 and 3 are not used by regular trains in the current timetable (as of 2020 [obsolete] ).
Track 1 served the traffic of the disused Hohenstaufenbahn to Schwäbisch Gmünd until 1986 , track 7 served some trains of the disused Voralbbahn to Boll (cessation of passenger traffic on May 27, 1989, final closure on December 15, 1997). In addition, until October 2014 another track with the number “13” ended on the eastern side of the platform for tracks 6 and 7. Most of the Voralbbahn's trains departed on this track. Track 13 was dismantled in October 2014.
The extensive shunting track system is only used today by the Leonhard Weiss company based near the train station . All other industrial sidings from the station are closed. Similarly, the first in the 1970s, on the other hand has been Fils as one of the most modern plants of its kind newly built container rail mid-1990s shut down. The access track over the Ernst-Bosch-Brücke now serves as a rail link to the junkyard located on this site .
history
The Filstalbahn, which only opened continuously in 1850, reached Göppingen in 1847, so that the station could go into operation on October 11th of that year.
On April 6, 1893, the extension of the reception building was approved and this was then carried out according to the plans.
From 1914 to 1917 the station was expanded and rebuilt again - taking into account the Hohenstaufen Railway to Schwäbisch Gmünd and the Voralb Railway to Boll, which was still planned at the time. From the electrification of the route in 1933, Göppingen was also partially integrated into the Stuttgart suburban traffic .
During the Second World War there was an air-raid shelter for 80 people on the station forecourt .
On May 27, 1964, after two and a half years of construction, the new reception building planned by Hellmut Kasel was opened. At the end of the 1960s, a new goods handling hall was built, which was demolished after being shut down in summer 2012. In 2003 a new pedestrian walkway was opened, which connects the train station barrier-free with all platforms and the Jahnstraße on the other side of the Fils.
Both edges of the central platform were temporarily increased from 38 to 76 cm to a width of 2.5 m during the closure of the high-speed line Mannheim – Stuttgart (from April to October 2020) so that ICE trains can stop there.
