The Lauterecken-Grumbach station is the station of the Rhineland-Palatinate Country City Lauterecken . It is located in the network area of ​​the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar (VRN) and belongs to tariff zone 793. Since the station originally also opened up the Grumbach community, which was a few kilometers away and the seat of a Prussian office , it was given the appropriate addition. It was on May 1, 1904 as the separation station for opened at full length this year Glan Valley Railway Homburg - Bad Münster and operated since 1883, in Kaiserslautern starting Lauter Valley Railway put into operation. The former was gradually shut down in the Lauterecken catchment area from the mid- 1980s ; since then it has only been the terminus of the Lautertalbahn. With the start of the draisine operation on the former Glantalbahn between Altenglan and Staudernheim in 2000, it is also a draisine station.

location

Local situation

Location of the train stations in Lauterecken

The train station is located on the north-western outskirts of Lauterecken. To the east of it runs parallel to the urban Bahnhofstrasse . The southern station area is crossed at the same level as the main road. Several commercial establishments extend to the west and north-east. The federal highway 420 to the west and the Glan to the east also run parallel to the train station, but at a distance of several meters as the crow flies . It has parking spaces , a bus stop and toilets . A barrier-free access is only partially available.

Railway lines

The now closed Glantalbahn passed the city of Lauterecken only on the north-western edge. The Lautertalbahn, which is still in operation today, circles the south-eastern outskirts of the city in an arc to finally flow into the Glantalbahn. The station is located at the 75.2 kilometer of the Glantalbahn. Since the kilometerage begins west of Homburg and has a kilometer jump at Altenglan , Lauterecken-Grumbach station is 51.4 kilometers from Homburg main station .

history

First train station and stop at Lauterecken (1883–1904)

When the Lauter Valley Railway opened in 1883, Lauterecken was given a train station on the south-western outskirts of the city. When choosing a location, attention was paid to the fact that connecting the route to the Glantalbahn, which was already discussed at the time, is as easy as possible to implement.

Even after the Lower Glantal Railway - the northern section of the later Glantal Railway - to Odernheim was built as a direct extension of the Lauterstraße in 1896 , the station remained. Lauterecken also got a stop on demand between Friedhofsweg and the former federal highway 270 with the Lauterecken stop. This should serve to better connect the north of the urban area and the surrounding communities to the railroad.

The breakpoint had a small reception and utility building. With the construction of the Lauterecken-Grumbach train station, the stop lost its function.

In the course of planning the rest of the Glantalbahn in the direction of Altenglan and Homburg, however, it turned out that Lauterecken station was in an unfavorable location with regard to linking the two routes. The new connecting station between Lauter and Glanstrecke was to be named Lauterecken-Grumbach and be located on the north-western outskirts of the city just under 200 meters north of the station opened in 1896. Its construction turned out to be very complex. The dam had to be raised two meters high due to the high risk of flooding in the neighboring Glan . A total of 250,000 cubic meters of material came from neighboring quarries. In the northern area it received a two-tier engine shed , a turntable with a diameter of around 16 meters, a water tower including a water crane, a small coal mine, an investigation pit and overnight accommodation for railway personnel.

Most of the superstructure was completed on January 21, 1904, and a test drive took place on March 25 between Homburg and Lauterecken-Grumbach. With the opening of the entire Glantalbahn Homburg – Bad Münster on May 1, 1904, the new station was finally opened. It was one of a total of 26 en route stations along this newly created railway line. As a result, the country town of Lauterecken, which then had around 2,000 inhabitants, briefly had three train stops. The breakpoint established in 1896 was dispensable due to the newly created hub station. The previous Lauterecken station lost its previous function and was downgraded to a stopping point; it was closed in 1912 due to a lack of profitability.

Development up to the end of the Second World War (1913–1945)

Railway station in 1910

In 1913 a wooden barrack was built between the signal box and the railway maintenance office. A year later , when the First World War broke out, it was used to feed the troops, as military trains sometimes traveled the route every day at intervals of one and a half hours. In this context, a toilet facility with a capacity for 100 people was built behind the said barracks.

After the First World War, the victorious powers created the Saar area , in which the southern section Homburg - Jägersburg of the Glantalbahn was. As a direct result of this separation, Homburg became the changing station between the Reichsbahn and Saareisenbahnen , so locomotives from the local railway depot were no longer used on the Glantalbahn. As a replacement, the Reichsbahn stationed another two locomotives in the Lauterecken-Grumbach station in addition to the five existing ones. However, the Reichsbahn did not implement plans to expand the locomotive shed for this purpose.

On April 1, 1937, the Reichsbahn dissolved the Ludwigshafen directorate to which the station had previously belonged. In contrast to the rest of the Lautertal Railway, which had been part of the Saarbrücken Directorate since May 1 of the previous year , it came to the Mainz Directorate together with that section of the Glantalbahn that was north of Altenglan . A military exercise took place in the Palatinate between September 24 and 27, 1938 . Lauterecken-Grumbach was one of the destination stations for the troops from Frankfurt am Main .

From mid-1944, the aerial warfare hit the station during World War II . Allied air forces attacked him repeatedly because of the importance of the Glantalbahn for German supplies behind the western front. This made traffic almost impossible during the day. Several attacks on the train station took place between December 6 and December 31 of that year. All the tracks near signal box 2 fell victim to this. The engine shed burned down and was not repaired in the following years, only accommodations for engine drivers were put back into operation after the war. In March of the following year there was another heavy air raid on the station, in which several residential buildings in the city were affected.

Post-war period and German Federal Railways (1945–1993)

On October 1, 1948, the locomotive station was closed . At the end of the 1970s , the same thing happened with the Lauterecken railway maintenance facility, which for decades had been responsible for maintaining the Glan and Lautertal railways in the city's catchment area. In 1983 the Lautertalbahn celebrated its centenary; For this purpose, a set of the Trans-Europ-Express (TEE) operated between Kaiserslautern and Lauterecken-Grumbach.

After passenger traffic had come to a standstill along the Glan Valley Railway in 1981 on the Homburg – Glan-Münchweiler section and in 1985 on the Altenglan – Lauterecken-Grumbach section , the section between Glan-Münchweiler and Odernheim was officially downgraded to a branch line on September 29, 1985 . Since there was no longer any freight service between Ulmet and Offenbach-Hundheim before that, there was no longer any regular traffic south of the latter station before goods traffic in this area also ended a few years later . Passenger transport between Lauterecken-Grumbach and Staudernheim ended on May 30, 1986. The last train arrived at the station late at 18:38. Since Meisenheim and Odernheim only had two railway stations along this section and trains from Kaiserslautern only served the former, there was no longer any regular traffic between Meisenheim and Odernheim.

Class 515 and 815
railcars at Lauterecken-Grumbach station (1986)

The Lautertal Railway and the Landstuhl – Kusel railway were the only two railway lines in the region that were spared the wave of decommissioning of branch lines in the region. On June 9, 1986, the German Federal Railroad and the State of Rhineland-Palatinate signed a state treaty that divided all railway lines in the state into three categories. The profitability of the Lautertalbahn should therefore be checked.

In 1992, the DB initiated the decommissioning procedure for the Altenglan – Lauterecken section, but this was suspended on December 31, 1993 when the DB became Deutsche Bahn AG . On July 6th of the same year a weed spraying train drove the section again, which also formed the last continuous train journey. Freight traffic to Meisenheim also ended on February 27, 1993.

Deutsche Bahn and opening of the draisine route (since 1994)

In the 1990s , the station along the Lautertal Railway was the only one that had a platform roof. In the same decade, the renovation of the house platform took place, which has since been 55 centimeters high. The inauguration of this measure was accompanied by a party to which the then State Secretary in the Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry of Transport , Günter Eymael , was invited. Due to the name, he initially mistakenly searched for the station in Grumbach.

At the turn of the year 1995/1996 the Glantalbahn section Altenglan-Lauterecken-Grumbach was closed. On May 10, 1996, the Federal Railway Authority approved the closure of the northern Glantalbahn section to Staudernheim on July 1 of this year.

In the meantime, an expert opinion came to the conclusion that reactivating the lower Glantalbahn section Lauterecken– Staudernheim would make economic sense. A realization of this project failed for financial reasons. In order to prevent a final shutdown including the dismantling of the route, students at the University of Kaiserslautern had plans to operate a railroad handcar on the Glantalbahn between Altenglan and Staudernheim . One of the supporters of this project was the Kuseler district administrator Winfried Hirschberger , who finally succeeded in implementing it in 2000. Lauterecken-Grumbach train station has been a handcar station on the Glan route since 2000 and one of three rental stations alongside Altenglan and Staudernheim.

In January 2001, the redesigned station forecourt was inaugurated, which had previously served as a transfer point to buses in the region. In the period from December 16 to 18, 2005, the DB converted the Lautertalbahn, where the previous mechanical interlocking technology of the Bruchsal G type had previously been used for over 100 years, to electronic technology, which was originally planned in autumn of the previous year.

Buildings

Reception building

Due to its great transport importance, Lauterecken-Grumbach station was given a larger reception building than most of the other stations on the strategic railway. Just like most of the station buildings along the Glantalbahn, the sandstone structure was typical of the Palatinate Northern Railways . It has a rectangular floor plan. Its construction was partly eaves and partly gable.

The main wing received a roof with a cross-shaped design. On the northern side there is an extension which originally comprised only one floor including a one-sided hipped roof. In order to allow the locomotive staff to stay overnight, the building was given an extension, which did not take into account the architecture of the rest of the building. The roof has several small dormers that are decorated with wood.

Signal box at Lauterecken-Grumbach station

Signal boxes

The station also had two mechanical signal boxes of the Bruchsal G type , each of which was subordinate to a dispatcher . Stellwerk I still exists today and is a listed building . This is a three-axis square construction. Its upper floor is made of bricks and has iron shelves. It also had a tensioning cellar. It is located in the south-western area of ​​the station at the former marshalling yard not far from the junction of the two railway lines. An electronic signal box in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse has been controlling the railway systems since 2005 . This resulted in the shutdown of the last one along the former Glantalbahn on December 17th of that year. Signal box II was located in the northern area of ​​the station west of the tracks and has since been demolished.

Water towers

The station had a water tower in its northern area (see also the picture of the western entrance), which was a steel construction and which was given a concrete casing. It was demolished in 1989. Since there were voices who had advocated placing it under monument protection, this measure aroused criticism accordingly. Originally there was another water tower, which was also made of steel, directly between the junction of the Glan and Lautertal railway. During World War II he served airplanes of the Allies often as a target. This caused damage. Nevertheless, children used it as a kind of shower during this time, especially in the summer after air raids.

Platforms and track systems

For decades, the railway station's tracks took up a whole kilometer. Compared to the small size of the city of Lauterecken , they were very extensive. After the suspension of passenger traffic on the Glantalbahn, the tracks in the northern area of ​​the station were used for a short period of time to park dispensable freight wagons before the DB dismantled them. After the Second World War, the facility was divided into a total of four roadway inspection districts. Three of these tracks were used for passenger traffic. To date, the station has two platforms . The house platform was renovated in the 1990s. Most of the trains on the Lautertalbahn stop at him. The central platform was mainly used for trains on the Glantalbahn and is mainly used for special trips. To the west and northeast of the platforms were numerous shunting tracks for freight traffic.

In addition, the station also came more to the south and northwest sidings . The Holzmann quarries had one to the north of the station . It originally ended shortly after the intersection of today's federal highway 420 . After a cable car was built from the two quarries, it was shortened because the loading took place between the train station and the street. In the direction of Wiesweiler there was the loading facility of the Holzer quarry , whereby a field railway with a track width of 600 millimeters connected this with the actual quarry. In 1950 the Lauterecken textile works , which had been founded a year earlier, received two sidings. The building materials dealer Bahn-Schneider also had one , whose track has not been used since around 1990. It was located in the area where the Lautertalbahn joins the Glantalbahn.

Draisine 147 m 26 cm Draisinen direction Altenglan and Staudernheim

Other structures

At the time of its construction, the station had a two-room engine shed in its northern area. Its architectural style was based on that of most of the station buildings along the Glantalbahn. In front of him there was a turntable and immediately next to him there was an annex that was used for overnight stays by railway employees. The latter contained eight bedrooms, a lounge, a washroom and two toilets. There was also another toilet house.

At the beginning of the 1980s, a charging station for the battery-powered railcars of the DB ETA 150 series was built in Lauterecken-Grumbach . However, the latter only operated on the routes around Lauterecken until the end of the decade.

traffic

passenger traffic

Long-distance transport

In 1945 and 1946, a pair of express trains ran on the route between Saarbrücken and Koblenz that were only available to a limited extent for civil traffic . This was also the last train running continuously on the Glantalbahn, including the Odernheim – Bad Münster section that was closed at the beginning of the 1960s; this train stopped next to Altenglan also in Lauterecken-Grumbach station.

Local transport

Winter timetable for the 1977/78 season

After it opened in 1904, a total of six pairs of trains ran on the Glantalbahn. In the following decades there was hardly any through traffic between Homburg and Staudernheim or Bad Münster; rather, sections such as Altenglan – Lauterecken-Grumbach or Lauterecken-Grumbach – Staudernheim were used. From 1904 to 1934, there were between four and six pairs of trains traveling on the Lautertal Railway every day. From 1906 there were additional trains between Lauterecken and Wolfstein . In the 1930s in particular, the timetables had numerous corner connections, including those on the Kaiserslautern – Lauterecken – Grumbach – Altenglan – Kusel route. In 1905 a total of 32,966 tickets were sold at Lauterecken-Grumbach station. In 1934 the number rose to 41,215.

In 1962 the DB stopped the Sunday traffic between Altenglan and Lauterecken-Grumbach. From 1965, two pairs of express trains ran on the route Zweibrücken - Mainz , which ran on the Glantalbahn and which stopped in Lauterecken-Grumbach. Its initiator was the then mayor of Zweibrücken and member of the Rhineland-Palatinate state parliament, Oskar Munzinger . This is why these trains were popularly known as the “ Munzinger Express ”. Due to the lack of a connection between Odernheim and Bad Münster, these trains had to go to Staudernheim , turn their heads there and then use the Nahe Valley Railway eastwards . In 1967 there was another couple between Homburg and Gau Algesheim . From 1970 these connections were officially only local express trains before they were completely eliminated in 1979. From 1975 onwards, traffic was completely idle on Sundays and public holidays. Seven years later, the service came to a standstill on Saturdays.

Since 2000 there has been regular weekend traffic on the route again. Since then, the trains between Kaiserslautern and Lauterecken-Grumbach have been running every hour.

Freight transport

In 1920 a local freight train ran from the Ebernburg freight yard on the Alsenz Valley Railway, which served the stations between Bad Münster and Lauterecken-Grumbach and then ran as a through freight train to Homburg. Another local freight train was responsible for the stations between Lauterecken-Grumbach and Homburg. If necessary, another through freight train ran from Homburg to Lauterecken-Grumbach. After goods traffic on the Glantalbahn had significantly declined after the Second World War, there were only transfer trains from the junction stations on the relevant sections until they were abandoned .

Due to the numerous quarries in the immediate vicinity, the station was of great importance in freight traffic. With the Lautereck sandstone, several important structures such as the Ludwigshafen Railway Directorate, the Frankfurt Opera or parts of the Berlin Reichstag were built - in some cases even before the opening of the station .

From December 12, 1948, freight trains were running that transported gravel from the surrounding quarries to France. The trains starting in Kirn drove over the Glantalbahn to Sarreguemines , with wagons being attached at Lauterecken-Grumbach station. The textile factory Lauterecken received around 400 tons of cotton per month from Bremen; in shipping it was almost irrelevant. It was the last freight transport customer of the railway within Lauterecken before it closed on March 31, 1993.

In 1905 a total of 70,357.92 tons of goods were received or dispatched. After the Second World War, however, there was a significant decline in freight traffic in Lauterecken-Grumbach. In 1972, 9823 tons were received and 1156 were dispatched, but ten years later the amount fell to 8092 and 398 tons, respectively.

Bus transport

There has been a bus stop on the station forecourt for many decades.

It is served by the bus routes

  • 266 Lauterecken - Wiesweiler - Offenbach am Glan - Glanbrücken - Obereisenbach - Kirrweiler - Homberg - Unterjeckenbach - Herren-Sulzbach - Grumbach / Deimberg - Buborn - Hausweiler
  • 268 Offenbach am Glan – Wiesweiler – Lauterecken – Medard / Cronenberg – Ginsweiler – Reipoltskirchen – Nussbach – Adenbach – Odenbach – Meisenheim – Bad Sobernheim

  • 271 Kusel – Rammelsbach – Altenglan – Patersbach – Erdesbach – Ulmet – Rathsweiler – Niederalben – Eschenau – Sankt Julian– Gumbsweiler –Glanbrücken – Offenbach am Glan – Wiesweiler – Lauterecken

All lines are operated by DB Regio Bus Mitte GmbH , a subsidiary of DB.

Draisine traffic

The Lauterecken-Grumbach train station, along with the Altenglan and Staudernheim train stations, is one of a total of three borrowing stations for draisines. Accordingly, like the other two stations, it can be used as a starting point for trolley tours, as well as an end point for tours starting in Altenglan or Staudernheim.
