The Geltendorf train station is the largest train station in the Bavarian community of Geltendorf and a railway junction in Upper Bavaria . It is the crossing station of the Bavarian Allgäu Railway from Munich to Lindau and the Ammerseebahn from Mering to Weilheim . It is also a station on the Munich S-Bahn . The station has five platform tracks and belongs to station category 3 of DB Station & Service . It is served daily by around 150 Deutsche Bahn AG , Bayerische Regiobahn (BRB) and Länderbahn trains, including 50 S-Bahn trains . The station is located in the area of the Munich Transport and Tariff Association (MVV) and is used by over 6000 travelers every day.
The Geltendorf station was put into operation on June 30, 1898 together with the Ammerseebahn. It is located at the intersection with the Allgäu Railway, which opened in 1873. For the S-Bahn service that started in 1972, the station was fundamentally rebuilt from 1968 to 1970 and the subsequent lines were partially electrified . In addition to the Geltendorf train station, in the community of Geltendorf there is the Walleshausen train station , the disused Kaltenberg train station , and the also disused Wabern (Paar) stop , all of which are located on the Ammerseebahn.
location
The Geltendorf train station is located south of the center of Geltendorf in the south of the district of Geltendorf Bahnhof. The railway line represents the border between the communities of Geltendorf and Eresing . The station building is located north of the tracks and has the address Am Bahnhof 6. The Bahnhofstrasse connects the station with the center of Geltendorf, about two kilometers away. About 1.5 kilometers south of the train station is the Eresing Monastery of St. Ottilien . Until it was drained in 1916, the Emminger Weiher was located directly south of the tracks .
Geltendorf is the crossing station of two railway lines. The Bavarian Allgäu Railway from Munich via Buchloe and Kempten to Lindau am Bodensee ( VzG 5520) is a double-track main line . It is electrified for S-Bahn operations between Munich and Geltendorf. In addition to regional traffic, some international long-distance trains run on it . The Ammerseebahn from Mering near Augsburg via Geltendorf and Dießen to Weilheim (VzG 5370) is a single-track main line that is only served in regional traffic. It is electrified between Mering and Geltendorf. Geltendorf station is the operational center of the line.

history
Construction and operation until 1968
On May 1, 1873, the last section of the Allgäu Railway from Munich to Kaufering was opened, completing the entire route from Munich to Lindau . This route also led through the municipality of Geltendorf. In Geltendorf, however, no train station was built because the place was two kilometers north of the line.
After plans for a railway line from Augsburg to Lake Ammersee and on towards the Alps had already been made in the early 1870s , the Bavarian state approved the planning of the Ammerseebahn from Mering near Augsburg via Dießen am Ammersee to Weilheim in 1886 . In the autumn of 1886 the construction of the local railway began. Originally, the crossing between the Ammerseebahn and Allgäubahn was planned in Türkenfeld . The monastery of Sankt Ottilien , however, persuaded the Augsburg Railway Directorate to run the route via Geltendorf and Sankt Ottilien, as it needed a railway connection to bring building materials to the site. At the intersection of the two lines, the railway management planned the Geltendorf junction station. Originally, the name Eresing was intended because the station was closer to Eresing than to Geltendorf, after all it was called Geltendorf . From September 1897 the station served as an unloading station for the building materials for the St. Ottilien monastery church. On June 30, 1898, the Royal Bavarian State Railways began passenger traffic at Geltendorf station, at the same time as the Ammerseebahn from Mering to Schondorf was opened . On December 23, 1898, the extension from Schondorf to Weilheim was put into operation.
To the north of the tracks, a single-storey wooden station building and a goods hall were built in Geltendorf. A switch tower was built in the western and eastern parts of the station. In the south there was a two-story water house, which contained two water tanks on the upper floor and service rooms for the employees of the railway maintenance office in the basement. In the east and west of the station, barred level crossings were set up for the newly built roads to Eresing and Türkenfeld. Around 1900 a three-story residential building for railway employees was built east of the reception building. In 1905 and 1906, the Bavarian State Railways expanded the Allgäu Railway to double tracks due to the increasing volume of traffic. The Geltendorf station was expanded to five tracks and received a platform underpass . The level crossings, which were no longer useful due to the high density of trains, were replaced by underpasses. In 1907, the Bavarian State Railways built an elevation-free crossing between the two railway lines in the west of the station , where the Ammerseebahn coming from the north crosses under the Allgäu Railway and then runs south of the Allgäu Railway into the Geltendorf railway station. The old route, which branches off directly to the north in the west of the station, was retained. In 1912 a second three-storey railway workers' house was built east of the existing house. In 1913, the Ammerseebahn was raised from the local line to the main line.
During the First World War, there was a subcamp of the Puchheim prisoner- of- war camp east of the train station from 1915 to 1921 , whose prisoners also had to work on the railway systems. In 1916, the Bavarian State Railways replaced the water house in the south of the station, which could no longer be used after the Emminger pond had been drained, with a new water reserve north of the railway facilities.
In the 1930s, the Deutsche Reichsbahn redesigned the station facilities. The wooden station building was demolished in 1930 and replaced by a single-storey brick building. In addition, a new goods shed and additional railway houses were built. The Reichsbahn expanded the track system and the water house, which had not been used since 1916, was removed. The Deutsche Reichsbahn installed a water crane for the steam locomotives between tracks 4 and 5 . Between 1937 and 1938, the Bahnmeisterei II was built in the eastern part of the station and further ancillary buildings in the western part. During the Second World War , bunkers were built for railway employees at the station. However, the Allies did not destroy the station because of its low strategic importance. Between June 18, 1944 and April 27, 1945, concentration camp prisoners were transported through the Geltendorf train station on both railway lines. As a hiding place for ammunition transports, the Deutsche Reichsbahn reactivated the old route of the Ammerseebahn in the strike spawn, on which the track was still lying. After the end of the war, the Reichsbahn dismantled the track on the old route in 1947. From 1951 to 1952, the Deutsche Bundesbahn expanded the Bahnmeisterei II with a second building.
Conversion for S-Bahn operations
From 1968 the Deutsche Bundesbahn fundamentally rebuilt the station for the planned S-Bahn operation. The platforms were modernized, lengthened and raised to a height of 76 cm. The service buildings on the central platforms were demolished and the wooden roofs were replaced by new roofs. The previously existing platform barriers were lifted and dismantled at the beginning of the 1970s, and passengers could now enter the entire station area without being monitored. On July 30, 1968, the Federal Railroad switched operations from the previous mechanical interlockings to a track plan pushbutton interlocking and replaced the Bavarian form signals from the era of the Länderbahn with light signals . The old switch towers were demolished in 1970. On September 29, 1968, the DB began electrical operations on the Allgäu Railway between Munich and Geltendorf. This measure reduced the travel time between Munich and Geltendorf from 78 to 40 minutes. By September 7, 1970, the DB also electrified the Ammerseebahn between Augsburg and Geltendorf in order to set up a diversion line for the busy Munich – Augsburg line . In the same year, the no longer required water crane and the diesel pump at the end of the platform on tracks 4 and 5 were dismantled. In the western and eastern head of the station, the DB changed the position of the continuous main tracks.
As early as 1971, class 420 railcars were running in advance of the S-Bahn between Geltendorf and Munich Central Station . On May 28, 1972, the Munich S-Bahn was finally put into operation and Geltendorf became the terminus of the S4 S-Bahn. In the 1970s, a shunting electric locomotive crashed into a passenger train standing on platform 2, causing property damage. In 1979 the DB dissolved the main service in Geltendorf, the station was first assigned to Kaufering and later to Buchloe . On December 9, 1993, the German Federal Railroad took the loading track out of service. In 1995 she dismantled the two points on the loading track. In 1996, Deutsche Bahn dissolved Bahnmeisterei II. In 2000 the ticket offices in the reception building were closed.
From 2005 to 2008 the DB carried out major renovations in Geltendorf. From 2004 the platform underpass, which previously only connected the central platforms and the main platform, was extended to the south. In the south of the tracks, a park-and-ride area was created by December 2006 , for which sidings 9 and 10 were dismantled. In August 2005, the DB renewed the main platform and replaced the wooden platform roof from 1905 with a larger metal roof. From 2006 to April 2007, the station was made barrier-free and equipped with elevators. On September 25, 2007, Deutsche Bahn demolished the freight hall and dismantled the loading platform, so that a bus station could be built on the area that was freed up by 2008.
In 2013, Deutsche Bahn is continuing the renovation of the station. In February 2013, she began installing new catenary masts in the station area. On April 27, 2013, the DB began the renovation of the central platform of tracks 2 and 3. During the renovation of the stairs to the platform underpass from April to August 2013, a temporary wooden walkway was built for passengers over tracks 1 and 2, which includes the house platform connected to the central platform. In 2014, the platform on track 3 was increased from 76 cm to 96 cm to enable barrier-free access to the S-Bahn. In addition, the platform was equipped with guide strips for the blind and the platform roof from 1968, which was demolished in 2013, was replaced by a new roof construction. In October and November 2014, the underpass to the west of the station and the crossing structure between the Allgäu Railway and the Ammerseebahn were replaced by new buildings. To do this, the railway station's tracks had to be interrupted and train traffic stopped for a week.
In November 2016, Deutsche Bahn put an electronic signal box into operation in Geltendorf . The previous light signals based on the H / V signal system have been replaced by Ks signals . Due to the simultaneous decommissioning of the track plan push button interlocking in the reception building, Geltendorf station is no longer occupied.
In November 2018, Deutsche Bahn opened a video travel center at the Geltendorf train station, which is operated from Kempten .
construction
Reception building
The first station building in Geltendorf was a single-storey, elongated wooden building with a gable roof , in which there was a waiting hall, a command signal box , as well as rooms for administration and traffic control.
In 1930 the Deutsche Reichsbahn replaced the wooden building with a simple new building with a flat hipped roof . The building is kept in the home style and still has one story. It contains a waiting room and some train service rooms. The ticket offices were in operation until December 1, 2000. Today the waiting hall is only accessible from the track side. The station toilets and, since December 12, 2006, a DB Service Store were located next to the station building. The toilets have been permanently closed since 2008 due to vandalism damage and investment backlogs.
In 2020 the toilets and the building were demolished. It will be replaced by a new building.
Platforms and track systems
The station has five platform tracks, which are located on a house platform and two central platforms . To the south of it existed until about 1970 five platform-free freight and sidings . From the southernmost siding, a stump track branched off to the west and east , from which the track leading to the east connected to a small locomotive shed . There was also another dead-end siding east of the second central platform. To the west of the station, in front of the goods hall, there was a loading siding with nozzles connected to track 1 towards the west . The loading track was taken out of service on December 9, 1993 and finally shut down on July 27, 1995 by removing the switches. Sidings 9 and 10 were dismantled in 2004 to create a park-and-ride area, and in 2007 the DB also dismantled the loading platform. In 2014, sidings 7 and 8 were dismantled by upgrading the eastern switches to butt tracks that can only be approached from the west.
Today, in addition to the five platform tracks, there are three platform-less sidings south of the platforms and the stump track east of the second central platform, which are used to park S-Bahn trains and LINT-41 multiple units of the BRB. All platforms are covered and, since April 2007, have been barrier-free with elevators . An underpass connects the two central platforms with the main platform and the park-and-ride area in the south of the station. Since 2001 there has only been a digital destination indicator on the house platform . The platform roofs were initially designed as wooden beam structures with a gable roof. When modernizing the platforms for S-Bahn operations in 1968, the DB replaced the wooden roofs of the two central platforms with more modern constructions. The wooden roof on the house platform was only replaced in 2005.

Signal boxes
At the opening of the switches and signals were two mechanical guard interlocking controlled, which were housed in two-storey towers switches. Signal box I was in the east, signal box II in the west of the station. Furthermore, a command signal box was housed in the reception building. On June 30, 1968, the Deutsche Bundesbahn shut down the mechanical interlockings and put a new Lorenz Sp Dr L30 track plan pushbutton interlocking in operation in the reception building , which was called the Gf interlocking . The switch towers were demolished in 1970.
On November 23, 2015, Deutsche Bahn put a new electronic interlocking (ESTW) into operation, which replaced the previous push-button interlocking . For this purpose, a modular building was built as an ESTW branch at the Geltendorf train station, which is remote-controlled from the operations center in Munich . The ESTW is responsible for the section from Türkenfeld to Epfenhausen on the Allgäu Railway , and on the Ammerseebahn it provides the section from the southern exit Walleshausen to St. Ottilien .
Railway maintenance offices
There were two railway maintenance depots in Geltendorf. Railway maintenance depot I was located 200 meters west of the station north of the tracks. It consisted of two buildings with overnight rooms for the locomotive staff, workshops and storage rooms as well as two service apartments. The buildings have been preserved and inhabited to this day.
Between 1937 and 1938, Railway Maintenance Department II was built 200 meters east of the station south of the tracks. The main building was a brick-built, single-storey, gable-free building with a gable roof. From 1951 to 1952, the DB erected a second largely identical building to the west of the first. A few years later, both buildings were connected by an eaves transverse structure. There is also a trolley shed and some storage rooms on the site of the railway maintenance office. The Geltendorf railway maintenance office was responsible for the area from Schwabhausen to Türkenfeld on the Allgäu Railway and from Egling to Riederau on the Ammerseebahn . It was closed in December 1996 and the buildings have been preserved to this day.
traffic
passenger traffic
In long-distance traffic, Geltendorf is not served as planned. Four pairs of trains on the EuroCity line 88 from Munich to Zurich pass through the station without stopping.
The Geltendorf station has been served by individual trains of the alex (until 2010: Arriva-Länderbahn-Express), which is operated by the Länderbahn , since December 9, 2007 . The remaining alex trains run through the station every two hours without stopping. The alex wrong with diesel locomotives of the series 223 and modernized compartment cars of different types. The regional express -lines Munich-Memmingen and Munich-Kempten associate with diesel locomotives of the series 218 and 245 with double-deck coaches in each case every two hours as well as railcars of class 612 . The Bavarian Regiobahn (BRB) serves the Munich – Füssen route every two hours with LINT railcars .
In addition, trains of the Bavarian Regiobahn from Augsburg-Oberhausen to Schongau with type LINT 41 railcars stop every hour . In the rush hour , individual amplifier trains run between Augsburg and Geltendorf. Repeater trains running every hour between Geltendorf and Peißenberg run every half hour during rush hour.
Geltendorf is also the terminus of the Munich S-Bahn line S4 with electric railcars of series 423 runs.

Freight transport
Even before it opened for passenger traffic, the Geltendorf train station was used from September 1897 to unload the building materials for the St. Ottilien monastery church. From around 1928 to 1988 cattle were loaded in Geltendorf and transported to the market in Sendling . From the 1970s onwards, a freight train from Augsburg traveled via the Ammerseebahn to Geltendorf and then via the Allgäu Railway to Munich, which was pulled by a class 150 or 117 electric locomotive . At the end of April 1988 the Deutsche Bundesbahn stopped the no longer profitable transport of cattle. In the 1960s were at the station occasionally Handcars the Klv Series 11 shipped for repair of freight cars. In addition, agricultural equipment and peat from the Pflaumdorfer and Emminger Moos were loaded . Since the loading track in front of the goods hall was not electrified, a class Kö II shunting locomotive was stationed at Geltendorf station from the 1950s to the 1970s . Later a Köf of the 333 series from Kaufering or Buchloe was used. On December 9, 1993, the German Federal Railroad took the loading track out of service. In the 1990s, Deutsche Bahn carried out handover trips from Geltendorf to Walleshausen and Utting with class 212 or 290 diesel locomotives . In 2005 freight traffic ended at Geltendorf station.
future
It is planned to expand the Munich – Buchloe – Memmingen – Lindau railway line and to electrify the previously unelectrified section of Geltendorf – Buchloe – Memmingen – Lindau. In the long term, electrification of the Geltendorf – Weilheim railway line is also planned.
