The Munich-Schwabing station was a freight yard in the Schwabing district of the Bavarian capital, Munich . It was opened in 1901 as the terminus of a local railway from Moosach and gained greater importance in local freight traffic thanks to numerous sidings . As a terminus , it was connected to the Munich North Ring with a branch line . With the closure of most of the sidings, the station lost its importance and was closed in 1987.
location
The Munich-Schwabing train station was in the north of Munich in the Schwabing district. To the west of the tracks ran the Leopoldstrasse , to the east the Berliner Strasse, on which the Ungererbad and the Soxhletstrasse tram depot, operated from 1913 to 1970, were located opposite the train station . In the south, the station tracks ended at Johann-Fichte-Straße. From 1965 to 1967 the tram line 6 , which had been relocated due to underground construction work , ran through Johann-Fichte-Straße and Berliner Straße next to the station tracks. From 1973 to 1979, the Schwabylon shopping center stood west of the station between the tracks and Leopoldstrasse . To the north of the station, the line crossed Schenkendorfstrasse by means of a bridge. In the further course of the railway line towards the north, Domagkstraße crossed the track on a road bridge and Frankfurter Ring with a level crossing . The tracks of the station were crossed by the Nymphenburg-Biederstein Canal .
The single-track, non-electrified branch line from Munich-Freimann ( VzG 5568), which was only used for freight traffic, ended at Schwabing station . Until 1947, there was also a connecting curve from Schwabing station to the Ingolstädter Straße junction , so that the connection to Munich's Nordring was made with a track triangle .
history
On October 1, 1901, the Royal Bavarian State Railways opened a single-track local railway from Moosach via Milbertshofen to Schwabing, which was used exclusively for freight traffic. At the end of the line, Schwabing station was set up, which, along with the Milbertshofen station that opened at the same time, was the first larger freight station in the north of Munich. In the following years, an industrial area developed around the station, which was made accessible by sidings . On March 4, 1902, the JA Maffei locomotive factory in Hirschau was connected to Schwabing station via a three-kilometer siding, which led to an increase in freight traffic. On June 5, 1909, the Bavarian State Railways opened another local line from Munich East station via Johanneskirchen and Freimann to Schwabing station, which was also introduced into the station from the north. To the north of Schwabing station, a triangle of tracks was created with the Moosach – Schwabing railway line, which closed Munich's north ring and made it possible to bypass Schwabing station.
In 1912, a siding to the municipal power station at the Schwabing hospital to the west of the station was put into operation. After the merger of JA Maffei with Krauss & Comp. At Krauss-Maffei , the locomotive factory in Hirschau was closed in 1935, which meant that part of the freight traffic in Schwabing ceased to exist. During the Second World War , the rail link from Schwabing towards Milbertshofen was destroyed by an air raid in 1945 and then shut down in 1947. As a result, the Munich-Schwabing train station was only accessible via the Freimann train station.
In the 1940s and 1950s, Schwabing served twelve sidings, which led to a large volume of goods. In the 1950s, the continued German Federal Railways in the station Schwabing for all day own Rangierdampflokomotive the series 54.15 , which until 1953 in Bw München-Ludwigsfeld , later in the Bw München Ost was stationed. From the 1970s onwards, more and more industrial companies in the vicinity of Schwabing station were closed and sidings were shut down, making the freight station much less important. On February 29, 1972, the siding to the municipal power station was given up. To simplify operations, the Deutsche Bundesbahn switched the branch line from Freimann to Schwabing to train control in the 1970s .
With the further decline in freight traffic, operations at Munich-Schwabing railway station were largely suspended until 1980 and the tracks were dismantled in 1982. Most recently, until October 31, 1987, only one siding to the Hurler warehouse next to the former platform 8 was served. With the abandonment of this siding, the German Federal Railroad closed the Schwabing station and the branch line up to kilometer 2.4 on the bridge over Schenkendorfstrasse on November 1, 1987. In August 1988 the tracks were dismantled and in 1990 the railway bridge over Schenkendorfstrasse was demolished. The sidings north of the bridge were initially still served. On September 1, 1995, Deutsche Bahn finally shut down the remaining section of the line from Freimann station up to kilometer 2.4.
After the dismantling of the tracks at the end of the 1980s, a residential area was built on the former station site on Berliner Straße, which was moved to the west, and the artificially created Schwabinger See . On the route of the branch line from Freimann to Schwabing, a tram line was built from 2007 to 2009, on which tram line 23 runs. The road bridge on Domagkstrasse over the former railway line was retained as a bridge over the tram route, and the new Schenkendorf bridge was built at the site of the broken bridge over Schenkendorfstrasse . Until the warehouse of the former Hurler company was demolished in 2013, the former loading ramp and the remains of the sidings lying under an asphalt surface were the last relics of the Schwabing freight yard. The new Schwabinger Tor district will be built on this area by 2017 .

Track systems and buildings
The terminus had eight station tracks, which were numbered from east to west, as well as various siding . Track 8 served as the main track on which the freight trains arrived and departed. With a usable length of 677 meters, track 8 was significantly longer than the other station tracks and only joined the main track at the bridge over Schenkendorfstraße. The parallel track 7 was connected to tracks 6 and 8 as a bypass . On track 6 there was a weighbridge , a loading gauge and a filling system from the Hurler company. Tracks 3 and 4 were located at a loading yard between the two tracks, which was equipped with a slewing crane. East from platform 1 were more sidings available, two of which a 113-meter long dock led and one as siding served. The side tracks were connected to the access track to track 1 and 2.
Between track 1 and the loading ramp, the Schwabing station's operations building, built in 1901, was located with offices and a loading hall . In this the command signal box of the station was housed. North of the loading yard stood the guards interlocking . Most recently, all points in the station were manually operated on site.
Track connections
The Schwabing freight yard was responsible for the operation of up to twelve sidings, which were connected to the station and the connection to the north ring.
On March 4, 1902, a three-kilometer siding was put into operation from Schwabing station to the JA Maffei locomotive factory, which took over the locomotive transport previously carried out with horse-drawn vehicles. The siding ran from the north head of the Schwabing train station in an eastward direction, crossed tram line 6 on Ungererstraße at the same level and led through the English Garden to the factory premises in the Hirschau. After the locomotive factory closed in 1935, the track was initially retained and was only dismantled in 1949 and 1950. A small remainder of the track at Schwabing station continued to serve as a siding to the Max Noack company. From this branched off in the station area another siding to the stone warehouse of the municipal civil engineering office . Today the Ernst-Penzoldt-Weg runs along the former track in the English Garden.
In 1912, an 800 meter long siding to the Schwabing hospital was built. It was used to transport coal to the municipal power station, which, among other things, supplied the Schwabing hospital with energy. The track was connected to track 8 of Schwabing train station, crossed Leopoldstrasse and led along Heckscherstrasse in a westward direction to the hospital. On the siding came a 1912 from Krauss & Comp. built steam storage locomotive with the wheel arrangement D-fl was used, which obtained its steam directly from the power station. On February 29, 1972, the siding was shut down. Additional sidings were connected to the siding on the west side of Schwabing station.
In the southern area of the station, a 125-meter-long siding branched off from track 8 to the Hurler warehouse on Leopoldstraße, which ran parallel to track 8. After the dismantling of the remaining station facilities by 1982, this track remained in operation until October 31, 1987, the last track fragments were removed in 2013.
To the north of the Schwabing train station, further siding were connected to the main line, which connected various industrial companies and the radio barracks .
