From 1896 to 1955 the station was the starting point for the tram-like design of the Müllheim – Badenweiler local railway .
location
The Müllheim station is located on the southernmost section of the Rhine Valley Railway , roughly halfway between Freiburg im Breisgau and Basel . His address is Bahnhofstrasse 1 .
history
Opening of the Müllheim train station and the Rhine Valley Railway
The Müllheimer station was along with the stretch of Freiburg (Breisgau) Hbf -Müllheim (Baden) to that of Mannheim over Karlsruhe and Freiburg to Basel leading Rheintalbahn opened on June 1, 1847th Around two weeks later, another section of the Rhine Valley Railway to Schliengen followed , and by 1855 the entire route to Basel was open.
On July 17, 1911, a train derailed due to excessive speed in a slow speed area set up due to a construction site in the Müllheim station.
In 1955 the Rhine Valley Railway and with it the Müllheim station was electrified .
Development into a railway junction
Mullheim – Mulhouse railway line
In 1865 there were first petitions from some neighboring communities to the Grand Duchy of Baden to build a railway line from Müllheim to Mulhouse . The Baden government passed a law on March 30, 1872 concerning the installation of a railway from Müllheim to Neuchâtel, possibly to Mulhouse . Construction work on the line began at the end of 1876. The line was opened on February 6, 1878, to supply the area around Mulhouse with food and wood from the area around Müllheim.
On October 12, 1939, the Rhine bridge between Neuenburg and Chalampé was blown up during the Second World War . The German railroad rebuilt the bridge on a single track between 1940 and 1941. The German troops destroyed the bridge on their retreat on February 9, 1945.
The branch line from Müllheim to Neuchâtel was electrified by May 1965 .
From the summer of 1975 there were only four pairs of trains between Mulhouse and Müllheim. On May 31, 1980, passenger traffic on the section Müllheim (Baden) –Neuenburg (Baden) was stopped. However, the route continued to be used for freight traffic .
In October 1998 there was a special trip with a Regio-Shuttle of the Breisgau-S-Bahn GmbH . Feasibility studies in spring 2004 confirmed that the line had a positive cost-benefit factor. After a three-week trial run, the opening ceremony for the resumption of passenger traffic took place on August 27, 2006. From 2006 to 2012 it was offered again on certain Sundays and public holidays as part of an event traffic. Since December 9, 2012 there have been up to seven connections a day between Baden and Alsace , with at least one pair of trains going directly to Freiburg (Breisgau) main station . French X 73900 ( Baleine Bleue , German blue whale ) have been used since then .
Local railway Müllheim – Badenweiler
In 1894, the so-called “Badenweiler Bähnle”, the Müllheim-Badenweiler Eisenbahn AG (MBE), was founded with the significant participation of the railway construction and operating company Vering & Waechter . On February 15, 1896, the operation was opened as a steam-powered tram . Initially, Vering & Waechter ran the business itself, and in 1899 the Deutsche Eisenbahn-Betriebsgesellschaft (DEBG) took over management. The steam trains were replaced on April 7, 1914 by electric vehicles that were operated with 1000 volts direct current.
From March 1, 1955, the state of Baden-Württemberg became the owner of the MBE and on March 29, 1955, the local railway came to the Mittelbadische Eisenbahnen . They found that the railway was in very poor condition and modernization could not be financed. It shut down all rail traffic on May 22, 1955 and dismantled all of the MBE track systems by 1970. Only the station building in Badenweiler is still preserved today.
Tracks and platforms
The Müllheimer Bahnhof has a total of four platform tracks, of which track 4 is a butt track at the southern end of the platform of tracks 2 and 5; the other tracks are through tracks. All tracks have an entry height of 36 cm. This means that there is a large difference in height when boarding the trains. Only the French TER Alsace trains offer a reasonably barrier-free entry. Next to track 5 there are four platformless tracks, which are occasionally used by freight trains.
| track | Usable length | Platform height | Current usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 415 m | 36 cm | Trains in the direction of Freiburg / Offenburg / Karlsruhe |
| 2 | 360 m | 36 cm | Trains in the direction of Weil am Rhein / Basel |
| 4th | 71 m | 36 cm | Siding , i. d. R. for trains in the direction of Mulhouse ( stump track ) |
| 5 | 360 m | 36 cm | Trains to Neuchâtel (DB) and Mulhouse (SNCF) |
traffic
Müllheim is in the tariff area of the Regio-Verkehrsverbund Freiburg (RVF).
Long-distance transport
Until the late 1980s , Müllheim was a regular stop for night trains with through coaches to Copenhagen and Moscow . Since December 2013, an Intercity ("Baden-Kurier") has stopped every day on the way from Basel Bad Bf to Munich Hbf in Müllheim.
A pair of TGV trains has been running from Freiburg via Mulhouse to Paris since August 2013, and had to make an operating stop in Müllheim until December 2015 . This was converted into a regular stop when the timetable changed in December 2015. Since then, Müllheim has had a direct connection to and from Paris.
From April to October 2014, due to construction work on the old railway line between Schliengen and Efringen-Kirchen , the Müllheim station was the stop of the hourly ICE . For this purpose, the station was provided with a 400-meter-long platform structure that compensated for the height differences. This platform structure was removed again in October 2014.
