The Lörrach-Stetten train station is one of a total of seven train stations and stops in the southern Baden city ​​of Lörrach and, along with the Lörrach Dammstraße stop, one of two train stops in the Stetten district . The station is on the Wiesentalbahn from Basel Badischer Bahnhof to Zell im Wiesental and is the end point of the garden railway coming from Weil am Rhein .

Location and infrastructure

The train station is located in the south of the Lörrach district of the same name. Since the border between Germany and Switzerland is nearby , the Stetten train station is a border station . However, this function no longer comes to light, since the entire Wiesentalbahn - also on Swiss territory - is owned by Deutsche Bahn AG .

Until the station was converted into an S-Bahn stop, the station had two tracks. Since then, only the continuous track on the house platform (track 1) has remained. The area of ​​the track and the former platform are still preserved from the former track 2 .

Other train stations in the city are Lörrach Hauptbahnhof and Lörrach-Haagen / Messe . The station building of the Lörrach-Stetten station is a listed building .

The Lörrach-Stetten stop as well as the Lörrach Schillerstraße , Lörrach Schwarzwaldstraße and Lörrach Haagen / Messe stops are part of the Lörrach main station .

history

The station was officially opened on June 5, 1862 as part of the first private railway in Baden , the Wiesentalbahn Basel - Lörrach - Schopfheim , established by the Wiesenthal Society , in the presence of Grand Duke Friedrich von Baden . Regular operations began two days later. The continuation up the valley as "Hintere Wiesenthalbahn" was carried out on February 5, 1876 by the Schopfheim-Zeller Railway Company . From July 7, 1889, the narrow-gauge Zell – Todtnau railway , which was also known as the “Obere Wiesentalbahn”, was able to travel continuously from Basel to Todtnau.

Since the German Empire required the Grand Duchy of Baden for military reasons to build an efficient railway from Weil am Rhein to Säckingen , for which the existing Lörrach – Schopfheim line was to be used, the strategic line Weil am Rhein – Lörrach- Stetten in operation. The railway line between Weil am Rhein and St. Ludwig , which was also built for strategic reasons, was opened on February 11, 1878, connecting Alsace , conquered in the Franco-Prussian War , with the Reich in the far south. The western continuation of the St. Ludwig – Weil am Rhein – Lörrach bypass was formed by the now closed Wehratalbahn , which branched off from the Wiesentalbahn at Schopfheim to Bad Säckingen on the Hochrheinbahn . With the opening of the bypass railway (St. Ludwig–) Weil am Rhein – Lörrach, Stetten station became a railway junction .

As one of the first routes in Germany, the Wiesentalbahn - and with it the Stetten train station - was electrified together with the Wehratalbahn in 1913. Initially, single-phase alternating current with a frequency of 15 Hertz and a voltage of 15 kV was used.

In 1924, the Stetten station, along with the Lörrach , Steinen and Brombach stations , recorded particularly high ticket sales.

On June 15, 2003, traffic on the Basel Bad Bf - Zell (Wiesental) route was taken over by SBB GmbH , the German subsidiary of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), and integrated into the network of the trinational Basel S-Bahn . Since then, the S5 and S6 S-Bahn lines have been running at Lörrach-Stetten station . While the S6 runs over the entire Wiesentalbahn to Basel SBB , the S5 branches off in Lörrach-Stetten onto the Gartenbahn and runs to Weil am Rhein.

traffic

S-Bahn traffic

On the Wiesentalbahn , the S6 of the Basel S-Bahn runs from Basel SBB via Lörrach and Schopfheim to Zell im Wiesental . As a rule, the S6 runs every 30 minutes between Zell and Basel.

The S5 line also runs every 30 minutes on the Gartenbahn and beyond to Steinen . This creates a 15-minute cycle in the core area between Lörrach-Stetten and Steinen.

On Sundays and public holidays, the S6 only runs every hour, but the S5, which otherwise ends in Steinen, is also linked every hour over Steinen to Zell. On the route from Zell (Wiesental) to Loerrach-Stetten there is a 30-minute cycle on Sundays and public holidays.

S 5 Weil am Rhein - Lörrach-Stetten - Lörrach Hbf - Steinen (- Schopfheim - Zell (Wiesental) ) 30-minute intervals (between Steinen and Zell only on Sundays and public holidays)

Bus transport

The bus lines 6, 7, 8 and 16 of the Regio Verkehrsverbund Lörrach (RVL) connect Stetten with the other city and districts of Lörrach as well as with Weil am Rhein and Riehen (Switzerland), with only lines 6 and 16 stopping directly at Stetten train station. The new bus line 9 has had its start / end point at Stetten train station since June 2016. In addition, the regional bus routes 7300 ( Basel - Lörrach - Todtnau - Titisee ) and 7301 ( Lörrach - Grenzach - Rheinfelden ) also stop at Lörrach-Stetten station.

future

As part of the “ IBA Basel ” project, the Greens parliamentary group in the city of Lörrach proposed to expand the station into a junction between the S-Bahn , tram and bus. However, this project competes with the planned new construction of the “Riehen Zollweg” transfer hub for buses, trams and S-Bahn trains on the state border between Lörrach (D) and Riehen (CH).

In addition, every quarter of an hour is required and checked on the S6 between Basel and Lörrach during rush hour .
