history

First Garmisch-Partenkirchen train station (1895)
Former depot between the tracks of the Mittenwald (left) and Ausserfernbahn, 2009

The first Garmisch-Partenkirchen station was completed on July 25, 1889 as the terminus of the local railway from Munich. It was a terminus station on the Partenkirchen district, it was north of the Partnach between Professor-Carl-Reiser-Strasse and Herbststrasse. The station was initially connected to Munich by four to six pairs of trains a day .

On July 1, 1912, Garmisch-Partenkirchen received a through station for the line extended to Mittenwald , which moved closer to Garmisch because the previous station could no longer be expanded. The line was electrified on April 25, 1913 as part of the continuation of the Mittenwald Railway to Innsbruck. In May 1913, the station received a further connection with the Ausserfernbahn to Reutte , making it a separation station . This was electrified from the start.

For decades, the operating stops of the Austrian corridor trains from Innsbruck to Reutte were a specialty . They changed direction in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, but changing passengers was not permitted.

On December 12, 1995, in the railway accident in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, a Regional Express collided head-on with the glass train 491 001 in the north end of the station . One was killed, 51 injured and the glass train was badly damaged.

A significant dismantling of the track system took place in 2000, among other things the number of through tracks was reduced from nine to four.

On June 26, 2002, DB AG put the electronic interlocking into operation; in the following years the interlocking area was expanded to include the Mittenwald, Farchant, Oberau, Eschenlohe, Murnau, Uffing, Huglfing and Bad Kohlgrub stations and connected to the Munich operations center. The signal box from Garmisch-Partenkirchen has been operated since August 1, 2007.

In October 2013 the locomotive shed at the former Garmisch-Partenkirchen depot was demolished. The last structural remains of the depot were demolished in October 2015 for rebuilding.

Platforms and track systems

View towards Mittenwald

In addition to the main platform, there are two other platforms. A five-track storage and freight yard spreads out behind it.

The platforms are covered and accessible via lifts from the manufacturer Otis and stairways. The platform roofs were renewed from October 2009 to January 2011 and the platforms were given guide strips for the blind. From the mid-1960s until Whitsun 1999, a treadmill display with punched card control was used as a train destination display on the platforms. From August 1999 this was replaced by a case- leaf display from Adtranz , and in 2009 the current LCD displays from AEG MIS were installed. The station building houses shopping facilities and a travel center. There is a connection to the public bus network including the local buses of the Garmisch-Partenkirchen municipal utility.
