history
Gunzenhausen station was opened on August 20, 1849 together with the Oettingen – Gunzenhausen section of the Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn . On October 1, 1849, the continuation to Schwabach was put into operation and on March 1, 1854 the entire Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn from Hof via Bamberg , Nuremberg , Nördlingen , Augsburg and Kempten to Lindau went into operation. The route was led via Nördlingen and Gunzenhausen, because a direct route via the Franconian Alb was uneconomical for the conditions at the time due to the inclines required. On July 1, 1859, a railway line to Ansbach was opened to connect the city to the Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn. On July 1, 1864, this line was extended to Würzburg and on October 2, 1869, the extension from Gunzenhausen to Treuchtlingen followed . On October 1, 1906, the Donauwörth – Treuchtlingen railway line was opened, which ran directly over the Franconian Alb and made the detour via Nördlingen unnecessary. As a result, the Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn and thus the Gunzenhausen station lost its importance. In its largest expansion, the station had 15 tracks, which are now reduced to five.
In 1967 the Deutsche Bundesbahn put a new track plan push button interlocking into operation in Gunzenhausen , which replaced the previous mechanical interlocking . The shape signals of the station were replaced by light signals.
On September 29, 1985, the German Federal Railroad stopped passenger traffic on the Nördlingen – Gunzenhausen railway line and freight traffic on August 1, 1995. Since June 8, 2003, the route has been served by museum trains from the Bavarian Railway Museum . In addition, there is regular freight traffic to the Schwarzkopf works in Wassertrüdingen .
