The Kirchheim (Teck) Bahnhof (1864-1899 Kirchheim u. Teck ) is the main station of Baden-Wuerttemberg Mittelstadt Kirchheim unter Teck . The current station is on 6,465 kilometers of track of the Wendlingen (Neckar) Kirchheim (Teck) to Oberlenningen leading Teck Railway and the line S1 of the train Stuttgart and the Regional line operated RB 64th

history

The 6.11 kilometer section from Unterboihingen (today Wendlingen) via Ötlingen to Kirchheim u. Teck was put into operation on September 21, 1864 as the first private railway in Württemberg . The route was operated by the Kirchheimer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft . With effect from January 1, 1899, the Royal Württemberg State Railways took over the railway, which opened the extension to Oberlenningen on October 1 of the same year. To this end had the previous Kirchheimer reception building , which was originally located - as a classic railway terminus in front position behind the - buffer stops was rotated 90 degrees and some are moved to the west. The new Kirchheim train station was named Kirchheim (Teck) .

On September 15, 1908, the Royal Württemberg State Railways also opened a branch line from Kirchheim to Weilheim . Although this route only began at today's Kirchheim (Teck) Süd stop ( Kirchheim (Teck) Vorstadt until around 1940 ), the trains on the branch line were tied through to Kirchheim (Teck) from the start.

When the timetable was changed on September 26, 1975, the Teckbahn was largely swiveled in the Kirchheim area. The train station close to the city center was abandoned and moved further south to the outskirts. The Teck-Center shopping center was built on the site of the old (second) Kirchheim train station . The abandoned route between Ötlingen and the first Kirchheim train station ( Kirchheim and Teck ) was built over , among other things, by the Stuttgarter Straße .

Passenger traffic from Kirchheim to Weilheim (Teck) was switched to rail buses on September 25, 1982 . Around 1985 the freight traffic in the section Holzmaden –Weilheim was also abandoned, the section officially closed on March 31, 1988 and then disengaged. Most recently, on August 1, 1995, the remaining section from Kirchheim to Holzmaden, which was still served by freight traffic until September 25, 1994, was completely closed.

As early as the 1970s, the Deutsche Bundesbahn planned to continue the S-Bahn from Plochingen via Wendlingen (Neckar) to Kirchheim (Teck). However, the implementation took several decades and only took place on July 23, 2008. On December 12, 2009 the S-Bahn line S1 of the Stuttgart S-Bahn reached Kirchheim for the first time. To park the trains, a new parking facility was created in Kirchheim in the western area of ​​the station.

Reception building

The reception building of Kirchheimer station now houses a tourist center of Deutsche Bahn and a newsagent. The bakery is currently being rebuilt.

Rail operations

The station has three platform tracks, two of which are used as scheduled. Track 1, a stump track northeast of the house platform (track 2), serves the regional trains in the direction of Oberlenningen . Track 2 is on the house platform and serves as the arrival and departure track for line S1. Between the two through tracks 2 and 3 was a butt track. Track 3 on the former central platform serves occasionally as a siding for trains or as a replacement if no trains can be dispatched on track 2 due to disruptions.

According to Deutsche Bahn AG, the Kirchheim (Teck) station corresponds to station category 5.

Up until December 2009, regional trains operated by DB Regio AG ran on the single-track, non-electrified line between Wendlingen (Neckar) –Kirchheim (Teck) –Oberlenningen . They ran twice an hour from Wendlingen to Kirchheim and once an hour from there to Oberlenningen. In the morning and in the evening the trains were partially tied to and from Plochingen .

Today Kirchheim is on from Wendlingen to Oberlenningen leading Teck Railway connected to the railway network. As far as Kirchheim, this railway line is integrated into the Stuttgart S-Bahn network and is served by the S1 line every 30 minutes. In the further course to Oberlenningen (with a few exceptions) regional trains of the RB 64 (formerly R81) run every hour. In addition, several freight trains run to Dettingen and Oberlenningen every day.

All lines operate at uniform prices within the Stuttgart Transport and Tariff Association (VVS).

future

The route from Kirchheim to Oberlenningen is to be modernized so that better connections to the S-Bahn can be established in Kirchheim. This includes increasing the maximum speed and the technical security of level crossings . However, there are currently no concrete plans.

See also plans a re-opening of Weilheim route and subsequently a new railway line to link with that of Göppingen to Bad Boll leading Voralbbahn ago, which is also shut down. In the regional traffic plan of the Stuttgart region of 2001, the establishment of such a connection is classified under "high urgency". Here, too, there are no more specific plans.
