The Kinding (Altmühltal) Bahnhof is a regional station at kilometer 58.6 of the Nuremberg-Munich high-speed railway .

The station is to the west of the Upper Bavarian market in Kinding , not far from the federal highway 9 . Along with the Allersberg (route km 25.4) and Ingolstadt Nord (km 86.8) stations, it is one of three regional stations on the new Nuremberg - Ingolstadt line . The facility is located directly between the Schellenberg Tunnel (650 m) to the north and the Irlahll Tunnel (7260 m) to the south .

In addition to Allersberg , Limburg Süd and Montabaur (both on the Cologne – Rhein / Main high-speed line ), which is located to the north on the same route, Kinding is one of four German passenger stations that can be driven through at 300 km / h as planned.

The station was opened with a ceremony on December 6, 2006 and has been served by trains since December 10, 2006. In the operating point directory it is listed under the abbreviation MKIG and is classified in station category 6 ( regional traffic stop ). The station is assigned to the Rosenheim station management .

Transport links

The station has been in operation since December 10, 2006 and is served by regional trains. Until then, only ICE trains ran on the route that passed the station without stopping.

Since the timetable change in December 2006, the regional express trains of the Munich-Nuremberg Express have stopped at Kinding station, which can reach speeds of up to 200 km / h . The trains run every two hours, sometimes every hour on weekends, between Nuremberg and Ingolstadt, with most trains going through to Munich. Trains run from track 1 (east of the continuous main tracks) in the direction of Nuremberg, and from track 4 in the direction of Ingolstadt and Munich.

An initial bus service between Greding and Kinding was largely discontinued due to low demand.

Infrastructure

The station under construction in July 2004
An InterCity passes the Kinding train station in the direction of Nuremberg without stopping

The four-track train station is about one kilometer from the Altmühltal junction of Autobahn 9. It has a park-and-ride car park with 100 spaces for cars and several bays for buses. From there a ramp leads to track 1, while in the direction of track 4 an underpass runs under the tracks, each of which is followed by a ramp.

You won't find a reception building at Kinding station. A sub-center for the line's electronic signal box is installed in the only building at the station .

Railway system

The two middle of the four tracks can be driven at 300 km / h, the two outer platform tracks at 100 km / h

The station has two continuous central tracks, which can be driven on at 300 km / h and which have slab tracks with UIC-60 rails . It is not necessary to reduce the speed to pass through. Stopping trains travel over switches at a maximum of 100 km / h to the platform tracks of the two outer platforms . At the north end of the station in the Schellenberg tunnel there is a track changeover with four points that branch off at 130 km / h.

The platforms were extended from the original 170 to 186 meters each. The two platform tracks have a conventional ballasted track with an S54 rail profile and can also be used as overtaking tracks to enable trains with priority to overtake. A weather protection system with six seats is installed on each of the platforms.

A special feature of the station are the southern platform switches, which are located in the particularly wide north portal of the Irlahll tunnel . This measure was necessary to accommodate the full length of the two platform tracks between the two tunnels. In the Schellenberg tunnel north of the station there is also a track change with four points. For this tunnel, near its south portal, immediately north of platform four, a rescue area with a turning facility for rescue vehicles was created.

Altmühlbrücke

Before entering the Irlahll Tunnel, the route crosses the Altmühl with four tracks (route km 59.4). The 79 m long and 26.15 m wide bridge consists of two parallel continuous girders , each of which accommodates two tracks. The spans of the girders, which were built as two-part box girders with an overall height of 2 m, are 24.5 + 30 m + 24.5 m.

The crooked transition between the bridge and the embankment is remarkable . The longitudinal axis of the bridge and the axis of the bridge bearings in the transverse direction form an angle of 60 degrees. The Federal Railway Authority issued a special permit ( approval in individual cases ) for this crooked transition between the bridge and the dam.

The structure was erected with a shoring in a construction period of 20 months.

history

background

In 1985, the Kindingen municipal council strictly refused to run the new line via Ingolstadt.

The expansion of the Allersberg and Kinding overtaking stations into regional stations was already provided as an option in the regional planning documents for the route.

An overtaking station was planned at Kinding in mid-1990. A stop for regional trains was not guaranteed due to an unsecured volume of traffic in the spring of 1991.

In the regional planning assessment of the route presented on June 20, 1991, the Bavarian Ministry of the Environment made the German Federal Railroad a requirement, among other things, to develop the Allersberg and Kinding overtaking stations into regional stations.

planning

According to the planning status of August 1993, Kinding was planning a passing station with one laterally correct passing track. The facilities for a regional train station were planned. The effects of regional train stations in Allersberg and Kinding was the subject of an information event at the government of Middle Franconia in mid-1993. Deputies and mayors from the Roth district campaigned for the train stations. An hourly service with 16 train pairs per day was planned.

As part of the planning approval procedure , around 50 objections were received against the plans for new lines in Greding up to the end of March 1993 , which were summarized by the city and handed over to the Federal Railroad. The main point of criticism was the land requirement of the route. In addition, an expansion of the overtaking station into a regional station was requested.

According to the planning status from mid-1994, the station was designed as a purely overtaking station , which should have been expanded into a regional station if necessary. To the north and south of the station, track changes between the main tracks with four points each were planned.

At the beginning of April 1995, the archaeological exploration began in the Altmühl and Anlaut valleys. The DB and the monument protection authority each assumed half of the costs of 4.2 million DM.

At a regional conference at the end of June 1995, Bavaria's Minister of Economic and Social Affairs Otto Wiesheu again emphasized that the Free State would order both train stations from DB and that it would have to finance the infrastructure. A final decision should be made in October. Shortly afterwards, the mayors of 13 communities in the catchment area of ​​the route criticized the lack of clear statements.

In April 1998 the Free State of Bavaria ordered the expansion of the overtaking station into a regional station. Two 170 m long outer platforms were planned. According to the planning status of 1999, track changes with four points each were planned in both station heads.

The structure was part of the planning approval section 52 of the new line and was part of the central lot .

construction

Ceremonial "closing the gap" on May 13, 2005

During construction of the station was part of the contract section center of the new line, which of Hochtief was built (Munich).

According to information provided by Deutsche Bahn in 2005, the platform for trains traveling in the direction of Nuremberg had to be extended “for signaling reasons”.

Symbolic gap closure

On June 13, 2005, the celebratory " closing of the gap " of the high-speed line was celebrated on the eastern platform track, the insertion and welding of the last track section of the new line. For this purpose, an eleven meter long section of track was cut out on the northern platform track 1 before the celebrations and moved into the adjacent Schellenberg tunnel by excavator. A few hours later it was welded again in the presence of a few hundred guests. The corresponding weld seam can still be seen at the level of the signal box building.

business

Old and new world record locomotive in the train station

The bus network in the Eichstätt district was fundamentally changed for the commissioning of the station.

After a year of operation, DB Regio took stock at the beginning of December 2007. With almost 100 passengers a day, the station's development fell short of expectations. The demand was mainly focused on morning and evening commuter trains.

The tariffs for journeys to and from the train station were initially the tariffs of the Deutsche Bahn and the Franconian bus services . With the timetable change in December 2013, the station was integrated into the Greater Nuremberg Transport Association (VGN). Since then, the tariffs of the VGN to the north and those of the INVV to the south have been in effect.

Fast trips

On August 4, 2011, a Velaro D multiple unit reached a speed of 352 km / h during a test run in Kinding station.

On September 2, 2006, a big celebration for the 357 km / h world record run by a EuroSprinter locomotive took place at the station . In addition to the world record locomotive, the French record locomotives CC 7107 and BB 9004 were exhibited on the western platform.

Remains of the former Kinding train station

The station building of the former Kindinger station

In the immediate vicinity below the current station is the historic reception building of the former Kinding station on the Altmühltalbahn . Passenger traffic on the associated section between Beilngries and Kipfenberg ceased on October 2, 1955. The section was closed on June 3, 1970 and has since been dismantled. The old station building is still used and maintained by a local tennis club. Only the Altmühltal cycle path that runs past generates regular traffic.

Costs and financing

The station was financed outside the financing agreement for the Nuremberg – Ingolstadt – Munich project concluded in December 1996 between the Federal Ministry of Transport and Deutsche Bahn. The station was part of a € 306 million package with financial contributions from third parties, to which, in addition to the three regional stations on the route, the costs for the S-Bahn expansion between Munich-Obermenzing and Dachau, the removal of 14 level crossings between Ingolstadt and Munich were included. The cost of the station is not publicly known.
