history
On May 23, 1887, the Freiburg - Neustadt railway was opened. In the period that followed, a continuation of the Höllentalbahn from Neustadt in the direction of Donaueschingen was discussed in two variants:
- Neustadt - Rötenbach - Löffingen - Bräunlingen - Hüfingen - Donaueschingen
- Neustadt - Hammereisenbach - Hüfingen - Donaueschingen
The city of Löffingen requested the first variant in a total of nine petitions between 1881 and 1887. This was also supported by the city of Freiburg and the Chamber of Commerce for the Freiburg district. The better technical feasibility, the shorter travel time and the military importance also spoke in favor of the first route. Due to a lack of financial resources, however, the construction of the line towards Donaueschingen was delayed.
At a railroad meeting in Löffingen at the end of 1887, the Lord Mayor of Freiburg demanded the implementation of the first variant via Löffingen to Donaueschingen. Paul Tritscheller and Franz Josef Faller , two members of parliament from Lenzkirch and manufacturers, supported this demand.
On November 25, 1896, the second chamber of the state estates in Karlsruhe decided to continue building the Höllentalbahn with a surprising route change: Neustadt - Kappel - Rötenbach - Löffingen - Reiselfingen ( Seppenhofen ) - Bachheim - Unadingen - Döggingen - Hausen before Wald - Hüfingen. Almost three months later, a law signed by Grand Duke Friedrich I finally laid down this route.
At the ceremonial opening of the rear Höllentalbahn on August 19, 1901 (at the same time as the Elztalbahn was extended to Elzach) in the presence of Grand Duke Friedrich I, Prince Max-Egon zu Fürstenberg and high officials, the Mayor of Löffingen, Karl Kuster, was awarded the Cross of Merit of the Zähringer Löwen awarded. At the same time, the chief engineer Otto Hardung, who was entrusted with the construction, received the Knight's Cross First Class and the Donaueschingen Mayor Fischer received the Knight's Cross Second Class with oak leaves. Regular intercourse began a day later.
When the timetable changed in December 2003, the Kleber Express , a hedge express train running from Freiburg via Donaueschingen , Bad Saulgau and Memmingen to Munich , was discontinued, meaning that there has not been a free connection from Löffingen to Freiburg since then.
construction
The entrance building of the Löffingen train station was built with the opening of the rear Höllentalbahn. A two-storey brick building according to the typical Baden station layout with one-storey additions on both sides and a separate toilet building formed the station ensemble, which was completely destroyed in World War II and only rebuilt in 1957. It is located northeast of the tracks. Today's reception building consists of a two-storey main building with a gable roof and a single -storey building with a gable roof to the north, in which there is a waiting room for travelers. To the north there is an extension that used to be used for goods loading, but is no longer used today. Today there is a train station restaurant in the southern part of the building .
The station has a total of three tracks, two of which have a platform . Track 1 is mainly used in both directions. Track 2 on the intermediate platform is only used for scheduled or unscheduled train crossings. Since the access to platform 2 is via a level crossing, the station is classified as largely barrier-free according to the Deutsche Bahn . However, getting on and off the trains is not barrier-free.
The points and signals of the station are set by a mechanical interlocking of the standard design, which is located in an interlocking front building at the reception building. The station is equipped with form signals .

traffic
passenger traffic
The Neustadt – Donaueschingen section - and thus also the Löffingen train station - is served every hour. Interregio-Express trains run every two hours from Neustadt via Löffingen and Donaueschingen (with a change of direction ) and on to Ulm . In between, the two-hour Regional Express trains run from Neustadt via Donaueschingen and the Black Forest Railway to Villingen and then on to Rottweil via the Rottweil – Villingen line . At the weekend , a regional express train pair from / to Rottweil, which on weekdays only leaves Neustadt, is already driven from Titisee. The trains on the rear Höllentalbahn are operated by DB ZugBus Regionalverkehr Alb-Bodensee .
Since 2009, in the summer months of July to September and for the first time also in winter 2012/13, special steam trains of the IG 3-Seenbahn have been running on individual weekends on the route between Titisee and Löffingen and on the Dreiseenbahn branching off in Titisee .

Freight transport
On the Höllentalbahn, only the Neustadt paper mill is served by rail. The freight train on the section between Neustadt and Donaueschingen runs several times a week as required and crosses the passenger trains in Löffingen.

future
As part of the " Breisgau-S-Bahn 2020 " project, the still missing Höllentalbahn section is to be electrified by December 2018 [obsolete] in order to enable continuous trains from Breisach via Freiburg , Neustadt and Donaueschingen to Villingen .
