The Großhesselohe station , originally called the Großhesselohe state station, was a station on the Munich – Holzkirchen railway line . The former station building is registered as a monument in the Bavarian list of monuments.
location
The former station building is located at Bahnhofsplatz 2 in the Großhesselohe district of the municipality of Pullach in the Isar valley south of the Munich – Holzkirchen railway line, about 100 m west of the Großhesseloher bridge . About 400 m west of the station there is still the old railway bridge, on which the Isar Valley Railway used to cross the tracks leading to the Großhesseloher Bridge.
history
The station was built during the construction of the Bavarian Maximiliansbahn . The Munich – Großhesselohe section was put into operation in 1854. Since the continuation of the route was delayed by the necessary construction of the 300 meter long Großhesseloher bridge over the Isar, Großhesselohe was the end of the route for about 3 years. The next section, Großhesselohe – Rosenheim, was not opened until 1857, and Großhesselohe station became a through station.
With the completion of the Braunau railway bridge in 1871, the Großhesselohe station lost its importance for long-distance traffic, as a large part of the long-distance connections were made over the shorter new route. However, due to the nearby forest management , it remained important for excursion guests from Munich.
In 1962, the train station was used as a backdrop for the film Broken Chains (Original title: The Great Escape). For this purpose, the station building and the platform roof were provided with a sign "Neustadt".
After the introduction of the S-Bahn to Wolfratshausen and the conversion of the Isartalbahnhof Großhesselohe into an S-Bahn station, the Großhesselohe station was shut down in 1981.
description
The parts of the former station building that have been preserved date from around 1870. These are the two head buildings of the station, the platform hall originally located in between has no longer been preserved. The head buildings are two-story brick buildings, one in a T-shape, the other in an L-shape. Parts of the upper floor are clad in wood. The buildings have flat gable roofs.
Near the train station at Bahnhofsplatz 4 and 5 there are two similar two-story brick residential buildings with a gable roof. They originally belonged to the train station and are now also a listed building.
