The Herrsching Station is an operating agency of the railway line Munich-Pasing-Herrsching in the Upper Bavarian municipality Herrsching . The Royal Bavarian State Railways put the station into operation in 1903 as the end point of the local line from Pasing to Ammersee . Since 1972 it has been a station of the Munich S-Bahn . The station building is a listed building .

location

Herrsching station is located west of the center of Herrsching, about 250 meters east of the Ammersee shore. The tracks run in a north-south direction and originally extended for a length of 1.1 kilometers from the northern outskirts of Herrschingen to Seestrasse, where the tracks ended. After several demolitions, the track system ends today about 300 meters further north near the station building. In the northern area of ​​the station, Rieder Straße crosses the tracks with a barred level crossing . To the east, the station is bounded by Ladestrasse, Bahnhofsplatz and Zum Landungssteg street, and to the west by Baderstrasse. To the south of the reception building, the Kienbach crosses under the station area. The station building has the address Bahnhofsplatz 1 and 3.

Herrsching is the end point of the single-track and electrified main line from Munich-Pasing ( VzG number 5541) and is on its 30.946 kilometers.

history

Construction and first extensions

On June 30, 1900, the Bavarian Prince Regent Luitpold approved the construction of a local railway from Pasing to Herrsching. In the original plan, the Herrsching terminus should be near Schönbichlstrasse at the foot of Leitenhöhe. As part of a re-planning of the route in the Steinebach area, the station was instead built about 600 meters further west near the banks of the Ammersee. In July 1902, construction work began on the station. Since the Herrsching railway systems came to rest on a railway embankment , major earthworks had to be carried out.

On July 1, 1903, the Royal Bavarian State Railways opened the Herrsching station as a second-tier station . As the terminus of the local railway, the station was equipped with three main tracks and one siding; there was a two- room engine shed , a machine house, a water house and a turntable . In addition, the station had a seven-meter-long weighbridge with a load capacity of 30 tons. The staff in Herrsching included a station director , who was also the manager of the Pasing – Herrsching line, a deputy to the station director and four employees to assist in the station service.

From the beginning, the Herrsching station was of great importance for excursion traffic to the Ammersee and the Andechs Monastery . However, the capacity of the station was no longer sufficient for the increasing number of trains. In 1904, the station had to accommodate up to four train sets on weekends, so that the Bavarian State Railways used the loading tracks next to the main tracks to park trains. However, this affected freight traffic and the freight wagons had to be parked in the neighboring Seefeld-Hechendorf station when there was a lot of excursion traffic . To improve capacity, the Bavarian State Railways therefore expanded the station from 1905 to 1906 and built an additional siding. In the course of the expansion, 457 meters of track were relocated and three additional points were installed. In 1905 the municipality of Herrsching built an information pavilion in the neo-classical style opposite the reception building for excursion traffic .

To further improve capacity, the Royal Bavarian State Railways put a mechanical signal box into operation between 1906 and 1910 . On December 1, 1910, they dissolved the management of the local railway Pasing – Herrsching, which was located in Herrsching. In 1910 and 1913 the Royal Bavarian State Railways built two service residential buildings for the railway staff.

Electrification and S-Bahn operation

As part of the electrification of the Pasing – Herrsching line, the Deutsche Reichsbahn provided the station's tracks with overhead lines from 1924 to 1925, and on August 1, 1925, it began electrical operations to Herrsching. The locomotive shed and turntable were no longer needed after the electrification, but the locomotive shed initially remained. At the beginning of the 1950s it was demolished except for the remaining residential wing.

In the last months of the Second World War , a hospital train was set up in the station due to the overcrowding of the auxiliary hospitals in Herrsching .

In 1953, the German Federal Railroad (DB) moved the barrier , which until then had been north of the locomotive shed, directly to the Rieder Straße level crossing. In the same year, the DB dissolved the Herrsching Railway Maintenance Department, which was responsible for the Pasing – Herrsching route. In the 1950s there were five railway workers per shift in Herrsching: a station manager, a dispatcher , a switch and gatekeeper , a station worker and a goods loading clerk. In 1960, the DB raised Herrsching station to the main service, to which the Seefeld-Hechendorf, Steinebach, Weßling and Gilching-Argelsried auxiliary services were subordinate. The station staff was also supplemented by a representative of the head of the department. On March 1, 1978, the DB converted the main service in Herrsching into a secondary service and on March 1, 1980, it became a branch of the Munich-Pasing train station. On December 1, 1984, it finally closed the Herrsching branch.

Platform with class 420 S-Bahn multiple units (1989)

For the planned S-Bahn operation, the Deutsche Bundesbahn rebuilt the Herrsching station from 1969 and equipped it with a new, raised central platform. The S-Bahn München took on May 28, 1972 Operating and Mr. Ching was the terminus of line S 5. 1985, the DB replaced the mechanical interlocking at a cost of five million German marks by a new track layout pushbutton interlocking . On September 1, 1994, Deutsche Bahn stopped freight traffic at Herrsching station. As a result, loading tracks and the course was built back in the South Head of the station, a conversion has since no longer possible.

From March 2013 to October 2014, Deutsche Bahn expanded the Herrschingen train station to be barrier-free . The platform and track systems were moved to the north and only begin north of the reception building. Instead of the previous underpass from the platform to the west side of the tracks, a ground-level connection was created at the new south end of the tracks. At the north end, the DB built a new underpass to connect the platform. By September 2015, a park-and-ride facility had been created on the former loading street .

Reception building

Station building from the track side (1903)

As the terminus and seat of operations management, Herrsching station received the largest reception building along the Pasing – Herrsching local railway. The building is designed in Art Nouveau forms and has a picturesque and folk character. The altogether 46 meter long building consists of two two-storey head buildings with eaves-standing crooked hip roofs , which are connected by a 22 meter long single-storey waiting hall. The waiting hall was originally open to the track side through five arcades and offered space for 350 people. The saddle roof of the waiting hall is supported by pillars with grooved decoration, which are modeled on triglyphs , Doric temple friezes . The arcade gussets are decorated with corrugated plaster fields. The southern end building has central projections with a tail gable on the track and street side , the northern end building has a decorative oriel applied as a thin layer on the north side. On the roofs of both end buildings are for rail and road side drag dormers placed. Originally there were curved plaster frames with colored plant ornaments on all windows and doors ; the windows are also equipped with wrought-iron window bars with plant motifs.

In the south end of the building there were three service rooms at the opening time, of which only two were used in winter, and two closed waiting rooms. The northern end building served as a residential building and contained five service apartments for the railway staff. For the mechanical signal box, a signal box porch was built on the track side of the southern end building between 1906 and 1910.

In 1938, the Deutsche Reichsbahn converted the station building. They reduced the open waiting hall by an arcade arch and set up a luggage room and the ticket office at this point . A toilet system was built in the area of ​​the previous luggage compartment. In the course of the modernization, the colored facade decoration was removed, making the building appear more sober and austere than at the time of construction. In 1950 a station management opened in the former waiting room.

In 2017 there was a travel center , train station toilets, a kiosk and a restaurant in the reception building. The building is a historical monument.

Outbuildings

To the north of the reception building, the Royal Bavarian State Railways built a one-story outbuilding with a hipped roof, in which the station toilets and a laundry room for the railway staff were located. After the toilets were relocated to the reception building, the outbuilding served as a bicycle storage hall from the 1930s; In 1977 business premises were housed in it. At the beginning of May 1983, the Deutsche Bundesbahn demolished the outbuilding. In its place, she erected a single-storey building with a half-hipped roof for the new track plan push button interlocking by 1985.

Further north there was a wooden goods shed with a loading ramp for handling goods , which was demolished after 2006.

To the west of the tracks was the two-tier locomotive shed in half-timbered construction , to which a two-storey residential wing with a gable-hipped roof was attached. In 1903, two service apartments and two overnight rooms were housed in the residential wing. In the early 1950s, the Deutsche Bundesbahn demolished the engine shed, the residential wing was retained and continues to be used for residential purposes.

There was a separate building for the railway maintenance office, which was located opposite the annex on the station square.

Platforms and track systems

In Herrsching, there were three main tracks west of the reception building from the beginning, which were located on a house platform and two intermediate platforms . To the east of the main tracks, north of the reception building, was the freight area with a loading track connected on both sides , from which two butt tracks branched off. The northern part of the stump track was linked to the loading road , the southern to the goods shed. On the west side of the tracks was the locomotive station with the locomotive shed, the turntable and a siding on both sides. To the south, the tracks converged to form two pull-out tracks that ended in front of Seestrasse. In the north end of the station two sidings branched off from 1906, which ran parallel to the main track to the north on both sides.

In the course of the expansion of the S-Bahn, the Deutsche Bundesbahn replaced the intermediate platforms with a 76 cm high and 210 m long central platform between the main tracks 1 and 2. Track 1 was dismantled to the stump track and ended from now on north of the reception building, so that direct access from The station building to the central platform existed. After 1994, Deutsche Bahn dismantled the loading tracks and the switches in the southern end, so that tracks 2 and 3 also became butt tracks. With the barrier-free expansion by 2014, the DB moved the central platform and tracks 2 and 3 to the north, increased the platform to 96 cm and equipped it with a platform roof. In addition to platform tracks 1 and 2 and siding 3, there is also an additional siding east of the main line north of the level crossing.

Signal boxes and security technology

When the station opened, the station's points were set on site. Between 1906 and 1910, the Royal Bavarian State Railways put a Krauss-type mechanical signal box into operation, which was used to set the station's points and form signals . The entrance signal for the station was set by the gatekeeper at the level crossing on Rieder Straße due to the great distance . The barriers on Rieder Straße were initially set using a hand crank, later the Deutsche Bundesbahn switched the level crossing to an electric drive.

On 23 July 1985, the German Federal Railroad took place of the mechanical interlocking a track plan pushbutton interlocking of Siemens -type SpDr S600 into operation, replacing the form of signals by light signals after the H / V signal system . Next to the Herrsching station, the new Hf signal box provides the Seefeld-Hechendorf station with a remote control . The DB took the barrier post out of service and equipped the Rieder Straße level crossing with a train-operated barrier system . From August 16, 1991, the pushbutton interlocking was remotely controlled from the operations control center in Munich-Pasing. On April 21, 2013, the Munich operations center took over remote control of the Herrsching signal box via the ESTW Munich-Southwest.

traffic

From the opening in 1903, three pairs of trains from Munich Central Station ended in Herrsching every day , and were supplemented by two additional bathing trains on the weekends in summer. Due to the high volume of traffic, the Royal Bavarian State Railways increased the number of passenger trains in the following years, so that in the 1914 summer timetable there were already eight pairs of trains running between Munich and Herrsching on weekdays and up to 15 trains on Sundays and public holidays. Thanks to electrification, the Deutsche Reichsbahn was able to further increase the number of trains: from 1925, Herrsching was the end point of 14 pairs of trains from Munich on weekdays, and up to 17 trains were used on days with excursion traffic. By the summer timetable in 1939, the number of trains increased to 18 pairs of trains on weekdays and 25 pairs of trains on Sundays with good weather. After the Second World War, the offer initially decreased, in 1947 there were only 14 trips on weekdays. In the 1953 summer timetable, Herrsching station was again served by 19 to 20 pairs of trains per day, and the number of trains remained largely constant in the following years.

When the S-Bahn began operating on May 28, 1972, the S 5 ran every 20 to 40 minutes from Munich Ostbahnhof to Herrsching. Since then, Herrsching station has been integrated into the Munich Transport and Tariff Association (MVV). Since December 2009, instead of the S 5, the S 8 line has ended in Herrsching, which goes to Munich Airport .

Freight traffic was always of little importance at Herrsching station. Among other things, agricultural products, cattle, coal and general cargo were loaded. The freight transport facilities of the station were used by excursion traffic, especially in the early years, which led to obstacles to freight traffic. On September 1, 1994, the Deutsche Bundesbahn gave up wagonload traffic in Herrsching, and freight traffic has stopped since then.

At the bus station on the Bahnhofsplatz, bus routes in the direction of Stegen , Andechs and Starnberg , which are integrated into the Munich transport and tariff network, stop .
