The Munich-Freiham train station is an operating point on the Munich-Pasing-Herrsching railway line . It is located at Gut Freiham in the Bavarian capital of Munich and has three tracks. The Royal Bavarian State Railways opened the station as a stop in 1903 and upgraded it to a train station in 1908 . In 1975 the Munich-Freiham train station was closed to passenger traffic. In the freight traffic of the connecting track branching off in Freiham to the Krailling tank farm , it is still in operation today as a depot .

location

Freiham train station is located northwest of Gutshof Freiham and west of the new Munich district of Freiham . The station building is located south of the tracks on Wattplatz. In the east of the station, Freihamer Allee crossed the track system with a barred level crossing until September 2013 . They linked the manor to Bundesstraße 2 north of the railway line . After the level crossing was closed, a new pedestrian underpass was built to replace it by 2015 . In the west, the federal highway 99 crosses an underpass under the tracks.

The station is located on route km 5,262 of the double-track and electrified main line from Munich-Pasing to Herrsching am Ammersee ( route number 5541).

history

In 1899 Hugo Ritter and Edler von Maffei provided the Royal Bavarian State Railways with a plot of land for the construction of the Central Workshop in Aubing . As a condition for the reasonably priced surrender of the property, he demanded the construction of a separate stop for his Freiham estate . The Bavarian State Railways agreed to this condition. On July 1, 1903, the Freiham stop went into operation together with the local railway from Pasing to Herrsching am Ammersee. Located away from larger settlements, it only served to develop the nearby Freiham estate. Freight traffic was therefore of particular importance in Freiham, while there was little passenger traffic. A railway employee was stationed at the stop.

The stop was raised to the station with the installation of a sidings in 1908 and received a mechanical signal box . By July 23, 1913, the Royal Bavarian State Railways added a second track to the railway line between Pasing and Freiham, making Freiham the provisional endpoint of the double-track expansion. In 1925, the Deutsche Reichsbahn electrified the line and the station. On November 1, 1935, the Economic Research Association opened a siding from Freiham train station to the Krailling tank farm, in which operating materials for the Wehrmacht were stored. To the west of the station, a transfer track system with three tracks was built on the siding.

In the 1960s, the city of Munich planned a new Freiham housing estate east of the train station , for which a future number of 20,000 passengers a day was forecast. That is why the Deutsche Bundesbahn expanded the station for the planned S-Bahn service despite its low passenger volume and built a new central platform in 1970 . The previous station building was replaced by a single-storey new building with a flat roof. On May 28, 1972, the Munich S-Bahn started operations and Freiham train station was renamed Munich-Freiham . When the city of Munich withdrew the plans for the new district in 1975, the Deutsche Bundesbahn decided to give up what they believed to be unprofitable passenger traffic stops. For the summer schedule on June 1, 1975, the DB stopped passenger services at Munich-Freiham station. In contrast, the station remained in operation for freight traffic.

Instead of the previous mechanical interlocking, the Deutsche Bundesbahn put a track plan pushbutton interlocking in the station into operation in 1977 . At the same time, it equipped the level crossing at Freihamer Allee with a train-operated half-barrier system. On March 1, 1978, the DB dissolved the Freiham ancillary service and incorporated the station into the branch office in Munich-Neuaubing station. The local freight traffic was discontinued in 1980, since then the Freiham train station has only served the traffic to the siding. In the course of the double-track expansion between Freiham and Weßling, the central platform that had remained until then was demolished in 1981. On September 27, 1894, the second track to Unterpfaffenhofen-Germering went into operation.

To serve the new commercial area south and the planned residential development north of the railway line, the Munich-Freiham S-Bahn station was built around 800 meters east of the old freight station in a relatively short time . The breakpoint opened on September 14, 2013. At the same time as the opening of the new stop, the level crossing at Freihamer Allee was closed, as the long closing times in combination with the existing half-barriers represented a danger.

construction

Reception building

The station's first station building from 1903 was a single-storey building with planking and a gable roof . It contained a waiting room , a duty room and a bedroom for the railway staff. In 1908, the Bavarian State Railways added an elongated wooden signal box with a saddle roof to the north-west corner of the building, in which the station's mechanical signal box was housed. The building was demolished as part of the renovation for S-Bahn operations.

The new station building is a single-storey building with a flat roof . It consists of the main building, in which the waiting room is located, and an extension with some service rooms. On the track side there is an interlocking front building, in which since November 22, 1977 a track plan push button interlocking of the Siemens standard design SpDrS60 has been located. The signal systems of the Munich-Neuaubing and Unterpfaffenhofen-Germering stations were remotely activated from the signal box . This was remotely controlled from August 16, 1991 by the operations control center in Munich-Pasing , which was responsible for controlling the entire railway line from Munich-Westkreuz to Herrsching. Since April 21, 2013, the signal box has been remote-controlled by the ESTW München-Südwest from the operations center at Donnersbergerbrücke . After the cessation of passenger traffic, the station building was retained and continued to be operated by Deutsche Bahn . The waiting room is locked and is now used as a work and lounge area for the local maintenance staff.

Track systems and platforms

When the station opened, there was only one continuous main track with a platform and a loading track west of the reception building. With the expansion to the station in 1908 Freiham also received a siding. When the second track was built in 1913 and the siding in 1933, the track systems were each expanded. In 1938 Freiham train station had three main tracks; siding 1 was on the house platform , between tracks 2 and 3 there was an intermediate platform . To the west of the reception building was a side track connected to track 1 on both sides, from which the loading track, which is also connected on both sides, and the rail connection to the tank farm branched off. The station's freight shed stood south of the loading platform.

In 1970, the Deutsche Bundesbahn built a new 210 m long and 76 cm high central platform for S-Bahn traffic between tracks 2 and 3, which could be reached via a level crossing under the supervision of the dispatcher. After the end of passenger traffic, the central platform was demolished again in 1981. The loading track was dismantled after the local freight traffic ceased. The three main tracks of the station are still in operation. Track 1 is used by the freight trains on the siding and can also be used for overtaking. Tracks 2 and 3 are the continuous main tracks and are used by the S-Bahn trains passing through.

traffic

passenger traffic

In the first timetable in 1903, three pairs of passenger trains stopped daily between Munich Centralbahnhof and Herrsching at the Freiham stop. By the summer schedule of 1914, the number of trains stopping in Freiham rose to six in the direction of Herrsching and seven in the direction of Munich. After electrification, 26 pairs of trains stopped in Freiham from Monday to Friday in 1925 and around 21 pairs of trains at the weekend; Despite the low number of passengers, the station was served by almost all trains on the route on weekdays. In the 1939 summer timetable, Freiham train station was served by around 35 pairs of trains on weekdays, four of which started and ended in Freiham in the direction of Munich.

From May 28, 1972, the S5 line of the Munich S-Bahn from Herrsching to Munich East served the station every 40 minutes; during rush hour it was compressed to a 20-minute cycle. Nevertheless, the number of passengers remained low, in 1973 about 50 to 70 travelers used the station every day, most of whom were residents and workers of the estate and day trippers. Since June 1, 1975 the Freiham station is no longer served by passenger traffic.

Freight transport

In the local freight traffic, the Royal Bavarian State Railways initially loaded mainly agricultural products from the Freiham estate. With the commissioning of the rail connection to the tank farm of the Economic Research Association, freight traffic in Freiham increased significantly from 1935. In 1941, tank car trains transported 368,000 tons of fuel over the siding. To ensure the connection of the tank farm during the Second World War , the Wehrmacht built a second connection in 1940 from Gauting station on the Munich – Garmisch-Partenkirchen railway to the tank farm. Even after the end of the war, the tank farm remained important, in 1948 606,000 tons of fuel were delivered via Freiham train station.

The local freight traffic at Freiham station ended around 1980 with the discontinuation of public wagonload traffic , the service of the siding remained. The Krailling tank farm operated by IVG was served almost daily by tank car block trains until December 2014 , and DB Cargo also supplies a liquefied gas storage facility via the connection .
