history
Hattingen (Baden) station is located on the Engen - Donaueschingen section, which was opened by the Baden State Railways on June 15, 1868 , while continuous operation on the Baden mountain railway through the Black Forest from Offenburg to Constance did not begin until November 10, 1873. It lies at the highest point of this section of the route, which overcomes the main European watershed between the Rhine and the Danube . The station is framed by the last two tunnels of the Black Forest Railway, the 180 m long Möhringer tunnel and the 900 m long Hattinger tunnel . The tight space in the cut in front of the Hattinger Tunnel made it necessary to attach the catenary masts to the wall.
In the interest of speeding up the trains from Stuttgart towards Lake Constance and Switzerland who built German State Railroad Company (DRG) at the beginning of the 1930s from Tuttlingen one as single-track main line running link which opens in the station Hattingen in the Black Forest Railway. This was opened on May 15, 1934 and since then has made it unnecessary to head the trains on the Stuttgart - Singen route in the former Baden-Württemberg "border station" Immendingen .
Hattingen (Baden) was not spared from the Second World War either. On February 13, 1945, the Hattingen train station became the target of Allied bombers, as Heinrich Himmler is said to have been in the Hattingen train station tunnel. On April 21, 1945, Hattingen was occupied by French troops.
Since September 25, 1977, both the Black Forest Railway and the Gäubahn have been electrified. Although passenger trains have stopped stopping at the train station away from the village since the summer timetable in 1980, there is still impressive operation there today. On the Gäubahn, IC trains dominate on the route Stuttgart - Zurich , which were particularly popular with railway photographers due to their varied covering with the electric locomotives of the 115, 120 and 181 series, while on the Black Forest Railway the RE double-decker trains Karlsruhe - Constance ensure a dense train sequence . In addition, freight traffic is still quite intensive on both routes , often in block trains . Interesting vehicles have been coming through Hattingen train station time and again since electrification . While the last old electric locomotives of the 194 series delighted railway enthusiasts in the 1980s , they were the "gray mice" RABe EC of the Swiss Federal Railways in the 1990s and the ETR 470 tilting technology trains of the FS and 415 of the DB in the first few years of the new millennium Fernverkehr AG .
In the 1990s there was still a loading track in Hattingen (Baden) on which historical agricultural machinery, among other things, was loaded.
The mechanical signal box of the Bruchsal J design from 1932 housed in the station building was in operation until September 4, 2004. Then the Hattinger track systems were integrated into the ESTW Immendingen, which is now remote-controlled from Karlsruhe.
