The Hall train station in Tyrol is a regional and mainline railway station for passenger and a freight and shunting. The station is located in kilometer 66.6 of the Unterinntalbahn (Kufstein – Innsbruck line) and is, among other things, a stop for the S-Bahn Tirol .

history

Until the opening of the Lower Inn Valley Railway in 1858, Hall was the terminus of the Inn shipping and thus the most important trading point in North Tyrol. In order not to lose this status, Hall campaigned for its own train station from the start. The Obere Lend, until then the port and wood storage area of ​​the salt works, and part of the Haller Au were used for this. The local railway Innsbruck – Hall in Tirol (LBIHiT) built from 1888 onwards ran as a tram to Solbad Hall and had no connection to the main line.

In the two world wars, the shunting yard in Hall played an important role in supplying the southern front. During the Second World War, additional track systems were even laid west of Loretto . Hall was therefore bombed several times during the Second World War. The first attack on December 19, 1944 did not yet affect the passenger station itself (it devastated the southwest of the city as well as the tracks), but on February 16, 1945 the facility was completely destroyed. Hall station was only rebuilt after the end of the war, and to this day shows the character of the simple internationalist post-war station architecture, as concrete posts with tall windows, well-proportioned, but otherwise completely unadorned.

The station was upgraded by the Tyrolean duty-free zone established in 1956 for regional goods traffic between Tyrol / Vorarlberg and South Tyrol / Trentino as well as international Alpine transit. As a result of the Innsbruck freight train bypass , the tunnel from Hall into the Wipptal, which already branches off between Baumkirchen and Mils, which was opened in 1994, a lot of traffic shifted to Wörgl (cargo and ROLA terminal). In future, the bypass will also represent the beginning of the Brenner Base Tunnel .

In 1978 the station received a new central interlocking . In 2012, the forecourt was adapted to modern requirements by around one million euros, and the track systems were renewed by a further nine million euros. In July 2013 there was a chemical alarm, but it went smoothly. The modernization and the barrier-free renovation was completed on November 11, 2019.
