development

Location of the train station on the Hanover freight bypass

The Linden-Fischerhof station was built in 1872 near the village of Linden during the construction of the Hanover South – Altenbeken railway line by the Hanover-Altenbekener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (HAE). On the branching in Weetzen Deister train was so in the Deister be brought into the then independent Linden mined coal. A branch line ran from the Fischerhof station to the Küchengarten station , via which other industrial companies in Linden received a railway connection.

Surname

The name Fischerhof is based on a farmstead with fish ponds and a guest house, which has been on today's station grounds since the beginning of the 18th century. The facility belonged to the von Alten family . With the incorporation of Linden into Hanover, the name changed to Hanover-Linden, from Linden-Küchengarten to Hanover-Küchengarten, so that the distinction between the two Lindener railway stations could be omitted. In the vernacular, however, the term "Fischerhof" was always present, sometimes incorrectly in the term "Fischerbahnhof".

traffic

History of passenger traffic

In the early years, passenger traffic was less important than freight traffic. With increasing industrialization, this changed rapidly, because more and more commuters from the Deister area took the train to the industrial plants in Linden. The half-timbered reception building from 1872 was demolished in 1966 and replaced in 1969 by a modern functional building about 250 meters further east. The intermediate platforms were replaced by a central platform with an edge height of 38 cm. A tunnel now led from the station building to the island platform. A new construction of the station further east was planned for EXPO 2000, but could no longer be implemented because of the many pending renovations. The island platform was raised with a makeshift construction made of wood to 76 cm edge height. The previous Hannover-Linden station was given up for passenger traffic in May 2006 and replaced by the Hannover-Linden / Fischerhof S-Bahn station, 500 meters to the east, on the eastern track apron.

S-Bahn station

On the occasion of the 2006 soccer World Cup , the new connecting station between the S-Bahn and the Stadtbahn was completed: Today's Hannover-Linden / Fischerhof S-Bahn station is located on the widened bridge over the Ricklinger Stadtweg, and the elevated platform of the Stadtbahn, which connects the two Stadtbahns, is under the bridge -August-Holweg-Platz and Fischerhof / Fachhochschule stops replaced. The platforms of the Stadtbahn and S-Bahn are connected by stairs and an elevator. With the relocation, the station was moved from its previously remote location closer to the residential areas of Ricklingen and Linden-Süd. Above all, the station will now be linked directly to the tram lines 3, 7 and 17 as well as the bus lines 100 and 200. The Hanover University of Applied Sciences is in the immediate vicinity, and the HDI-Arena is within walking distance . The stop is not a separate operating point, just a part of the station. When giving the name, the old name from the time before Linden was incorporated into Hanover was used, after the name Hanover-Linden / Ricklingen had also been discussed.

Today's passenger traffic

Since 2000, the station has been served exclusively by S-Bahn Hanover trains for passenger traffic. It offers a direct transfer option to the Hanover tram .

Freight transport

The machine factory Georg Egestorff , later Hanomag , was one of the first locomotive factories in Germany, right at the Fischerhof station . Its temporary owner was the railway company Bethel Henry Strousberg , who also owned the HAE . Due to the direct rail connection, the locomotives no longer needed to be transported by road through the city to the state train station. On the occasion of the completion of the Hanover freight bypass in 1909, the Linden-Fischerhof station was significantly expanded and received a drainage mountain. In 1930, the route to the kitchen garden was closed. The connections at the kitchen garden were now operated via the Lindener Hafenbahn , which connected the freight bypass railway at Hannover-Linden Hafen station.

Hannover-Linden has a long tradition as a train station for fast freight traffic (so-called “red network”). Freight trains with swap bodies and semi-trailers are formed and disbanded here. Here, too, groups of wagons are put together for the “night jump”, partly over the high-speed line from Hanover to Würzburg , and hung up in the morning. In addition, Hannover-Linden serves as a distribution station for single wagon traffic in the economic area around Hanover. Service trips go from here (clockwise) to the Lüneburg Heath, to the OHE network , to Fallersleben , Alfeld , Voldagsen , Hameln , Barsinghausen and to the ports in Hanover. There is a connection to the Seelze marshalling yard in the pre- and post- carriage . Hannover-Linden is the only remaining central freight station for Hannover. This is also where the circus and showman trains are unloaded. Railway construction logistics in the Hanover area are also served from here. The supply to and removal from the railway construction sites takes place from here.

Operating facilities and railway stations

The main workshop of the HAE was located south of the train station; it was closed after its nationalization. The buildings were demolished in 1909/10 for a station extension. The locomotive station, which has existed since the station was founded, has been expanded into a depot with roundhouse. The Hannover-Linden depot was dissolved in 1965 and demolished in 1968. A container handling facility with a portal crane was built on the vacated area .

Container terminal of the freight yard

Today, the station has several side tracks on the north side of the main line , some with main light signals , a loading street with a head ramp and a filling station for diesel locomotives . On the south side there are also side tracks with main signals, a west-east shunting system with a drainage hill in operation . The process operation still requires the use of stumbling blocks .

On the north side of the west head there is also the signal box Lf, type SpDrS 60. In addition to the train station, it controls the Ronnenberg stations, the Empelde branch, the Hannover-Linden Hafen train station to the west and the Hannover-Waldhausen and Hannover-Waldheim branches to the east. The adjacent signal box districts are Weetzen (type SpDrS 60V), Hannover-Ahlem (E43), Hannover Hbf ( ESTW , BZ Hannover), Hannover-Misburg (SpDrS 60) and Hannover-Wülfel (SpDrS 60). The Empelde and Hannover-Bornum stops are in the parking area.

Vehicle stationing

The first diesel locomotives stationed in Hannover-Linden were V 60 , which were replaced by the V 90 . Since 2012, these have been almost completely replaced by locomotives of the Gravita type , DB series 261 and 265.

Local traffic connection

From 1877, the station was able to transport people to the neighboring city of Hanover by horse-drawn tram to Königsworther Platz . The route was electrified around 1900 and became the terminus of a Hanoverian tram line . In 1954, the Hanover tram route from Lindener Bahnhof to the Black Bear , which had existed since 1892, was shut down. With the construction of the Hanover expressways, the Göttinger Straße, which runs alongside the station, became part of the B6 . As a result, the station was cut off from local public transport and the residential areas of Linden-Süd and Ricklingen and lost its importance for passenger traffic.

Explosion accident in 1969

On June 22, 1969 , a freight car loaded with ammunition for the Bundeswehr exploded in the Hanover-Linden freight yard . Eight members of the Hanover fire brigade and four employees of the Deutsche Bundesbahn were killed, for whom a memorial plaque was placed near the accident site. In order to bring this closer to the public, the board has been located at the Linden / Fischerhof tram stop at the entrance to the S-Bahn since 2007 .

Place of deportation

Between 1941 and 1945 Jews, Sinti and Roma were deported from the Hanover and Hildesheim administrative districts to various ghettos and concentration camps in eight collective transports from the Hanover-Linden train station . The Ahlem Israelite Horticultural School served as a collection camp for the first seven deportations . The first train brought about 1,000 people to Riga on December 15, 1941 . Two further transports took place on March 31, 1942 to Warsaw and on July 23, 1942 to Theresienstadt . Another transport went straight to the Auschwitz concentration camp .

In 1996 representatives of Sinti and Roma erected a memorial stone for the deportees at the train station in front of the access to the platforms at the time.
