The station building is in the south and has the address Bahnhofplatz 6.

history

planning

Until 1860 Mühldorf was only a small place with just under 2,000 inhabitants. Only the rail connection brought a major boom in terms of economy and population. In the years that followed, citizens' groups were formed to support the construction of the railway to Mühldorf. At that time Mühldorf was located in the so-called " rail-less square ", the borders of this square formed the cities of Salzburg , Rosenheim , Munich , Landshut and Passau . There were different proposals for the construction of railway lines from Freilassing , Traunstein or Rosenheim to Regensburg or from Munich to Freilassing or Passau. The decision was finally made in favor of a route variant from Munich via Mühldorf and to Simbach in the direction of Austria , this should also relieve the existing Munich – Rosenheim – Salzburg line . In a law of October 5, 1863, only the construction of a line from Munich towards the border to Austria near Simbach was decided. The decision to also join Mühldorf was made afterwards. Finally, a line was built over Markt Schwaben , Dorfen and Mühldorf.

Construction and opening of the station

Construction was delayed by the Franco-Prussian War and it was not until May 1, 1871 that the Mühldorf railway station was officially opened with the opening of the Munich - Neuötting railway line . The route was extended to Simbach a month later. The Bavarian Ostbahnstrasse planned during which a connection from Plattling to Rosenheim ,. Citizens' initiatives and Gustav von Schlör , an honorary citizen of the city of Mühldorf, who was appointed shortly before the opening, support the project, as the Mühldorf train station is to become a hub . Mühldorf then became the separation station on May 1, 1876, when the railway line to Rosenheim was opened. On October 15, 1875, Mühldorf received a connection via Neumarkt-Sankt Veit to Plattling. The desired hub station was also realized and continued to grow over the next few years. Originally it was planned that the newly opened railway lines would be on track 1, but it soon turned out that the existing track systems were no longer sufficient. This created five platform tracks, two tracks for through freight traffic and four butt tracks for freight traffic. A local freight facility was built across from the reception building. A locomotive shed was built east of the station for the Bayerische Ostbahn. The station became the starting point for further railway lines. Starting from Neumarkt Sankt Veit, a railway line to Pocking was opened on September 1, 1879 , and in 1888 it was extended to Passau. On October 8, 1883, a railway line to Landshut followed , but it also only branches off the Mühldorf – Plattling railway in Neumarkt-Sankt Veit. On May 1, 1897, a railway line to Altötting was completed. This was extended to Burghausen on August 9th . A few days later, on August 16, a local railway to Tüßling was opened, which was extended on December 1, 1908 as a connection to the Tauern Railway to Freilassing. On November 14, 1910, the Traun-Alz Railway was opened from Mühldorf to Traunstein , which branches off the Mühldorf – Freilassing railway in Garching . The station facilities were expanded again and again in the following years. Freight traffic also gained great importance in the 1930s due to the emerging Bavarian chemical triangle. So the construction of a new marshalling yard was necessary. This went into operation in 1942 as the most modern marshalling yard at the time. It was controlled by eleven electromechanical signal boxes, eight of which still existed in 2000. One of them now serves as a museum signal box . Today the operation is regulated by an electronic interlocking .

The Frontenhausen-Marklkofen-Plattling section of the Mühldorf-Plattling railway line was closed on December 13, 1969. On September 27, 1970, passenger traffic was stopped on the Neumarkt-Sankt Veit-Frontenhausen-Marklkofen section. In the meantime, this section of the route continued to be used in freight traffic.

In 1978 the old station building was demolished and replaced by a new one.

Railway depot Mühldorf

With the opening of the station, a depot was opened at Mühldorf station. The depot, which belonged to the Royal Bavarian State Railways, was initially a branch of the Simbach depot, which was on the Austrian border. With the opening of the route from Rosenheim to Neumarkt-Sankt Veit of Bayerische Ostbahn AG, a separate locomotive depot was created for this company. The depot of the Bayerische Ostbahn AG was integrated into the state railway in 1876 and demolished in the following years. Due to the increasing number of passengers and freight in the 1920s, the railway systems grew and new locomotives were needed. In 1926 the Deutsche Reichsbahn upgraded the plant to an independent service center and stationed Prussian and Bavarian locomotives of the 24, GtL 4/4, Pt 2/3, S 3/6, G 10, T16 and T18 series in Mühldorf. In 1959 the Simbach depot became a branch of the Mühldorf depot. After the Second World War , operations were mainly carried out with class 38, 50, 57, 64 and 94 locomotives. Up to 1971, in addition to rail buses and diesel locomotives, steam locomotives were also used in Mühldorf. In 1978 the depot was demolished and replaced by a new depot for diesel operation. Today, the Mühldorf depot is mainly used for locomotives of the 218 and 225 series . The class 225 replaced the class 217 locomotives that had been stationed since 1965. At the end of 2011, the last class 217 locomotive, which was stationed at the Mühldorf depot, was put on hold.

Signal boxes

Between 1941 and 1949, eleven signal boxes were built in Mühldorf, the most important of which are:

  • The interlocking system (Ma) was put into operation in 1942. It was an electromechanical signal box of the Siemens & Halske design in 1912; it was shut down as a result of the change in the freight train concept.
  • In 1943 the electromechanical command center (Mb) went into operation, it was of the Siemens & Halske 1912 design and was the only one in operation until 2006.
  • Another electromechanical interlocking of the type VES 4-row lever mechanism was put into operation in 1944. The dispatcher east was responsible for this signal box (Mfo) .
  • There was also a separate signal box (Mfw) for the dispatcher west . The signal box of the VES 4-row lever system, opened in 1942, is still there today as a museum signal box of the Friends of the Historical Railway Association in Mühldorf eV.
  • The Mm interlocking of the type VES 2-row lever system, which was put into operation in 1943, was another electromechanical interlocking in the Mühldorf station area.
  • In addition, the passenger station (Mp) had its own electromechanical interlocking, type E43, which was put into operation in 1949.
  • In addition, a Mühldorfer Weststellwerk (Mw) was opened in 1943. This was the only mechanical signal box in the Mühldorf station.
  • The control system MSR32 from Siemens took over the control of the discharge mountain. It was put into operation in 2000 and includes electrical local turnouts. With the closure of the discharge mountain in 2006, however, this system went out of operation again.
  • In 2000, Siemens built the electronic interlocking Mühldorf (Mf) and the electromechanical interlocking was decommissioned, but the command interlocking was only completed in 2006, after all work on the electronic control system had been completed.

Marshalling yard

In the 1920s, a chemical triangle was built southeast of Mühldorf; this resulted in a large volume of goods traffic in the area around Mühldorf. In Mühldorf at that time there were eleven tracks for freight traffic, but these tracks were not enough to cope with the increasing freight traffic. So it was decided to build a new marshalling yard. Construction work began in 1939. A drive-in group was created with seven elevated tracks as a drive-in group, these were 650 to 700 meters long. Behind the entry group, a drainage mountain and a seven-track exit group for through freight trains were built. In addition, another drainage mountain with eight direction tracks was created for local freight traffic. The tracks were 170 to 220 meters long. In addition, 18 freight tracks were built that were not on the drainage mountain.

After its completion, the marshalling yard was the largest of the Deutsche Reichsbahn . It was also one of the most efficient marshalling yards.

Freight transport

Because of the Bavarian chemical triangle, the station is of great importance in freight traffic. 800 freight wagons are handled here every day. The discharge mountain was put back into operation in 2004 and again in 2018. According to the new logistics concept of Deutsche Bahn, the station is the center of freight traffic in the chemical triangle, as it is from there that freight wagons can be further distributed in the direction of Munich and Landshut. In the future, the freight trains will also head for international destinations and seaports on the North or Baltic Sea .

Connection to bus and private transport

The train station is the center of the Mühldorf bus network. There are connections to the surrounding area and to the city center of Mühldorf. The basic frequency of the buses is every hour. There are around 560 chargeable parking spaces in total near the train station. This high number of parking spaces was made possible by the construction of a car park opposite the reception building with 390 parking spaces. There are also three bicycle racks on which 283 bicycles can be parked.

future

In 2008, construction work on the barrier-free expansion began. However, they were interrupted in 2009 by the European Union , as they co-financed the project due to the expansion of the Munich – Mühldorf – Freilassing railway line to become the international main line and wanted to see the plans for the renovation. The EU then called for partial re-planning. After a year and a half, construction work was continued in autumn 2010.

The station is on the planned main line for Europe from Paris via Munich, Mühldorf and Vienna to Bratislava . The Munich – Mühldorf – Freilassing section is to be electrified, double-tracked and expanded for higher speeds.
