The Munich South Station (also Südbahnhof) is a freight station and former local transport station in Munich . It is located on the Südring , which connects the main station with the Ostbahnhof , in the west of the Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt district in the Schlachthofviertel . Today there are no more buildings from the passenger station.
history
With the railway line Munich – Mühldorf – Simbach , which opened on May 1, 1871, an intermediate station, initially called Thalkirchen , was created on the double-track section from Munich Central Station to Ostbahnhof , which has been called Munich South since October 15, 1876 . Early plans to only handle goods here were discarded in favor of a full-fledged station with a representative reception building. In order to bypass the main station, which was designed as a terminus , a single-track connection to Pasing branched off here , from which today's double-track Munich South – Munich-Laim line emerged in 1893 .
The Münchner Lokalbahn Aktien-Gesellschaft (LAG) built the Isar Valley Railway from Munich to Bichl from 1891 , the northern end of which from 1892 was the so-called Isar Valley Station, southeast of the Munich South station. The initially planned settlement at Dreimühlenstraße, which provided for a crossing of the state railway and LAG at the eastern end of the southern station, was rejected by the city of Munich. For freight traffic, a connecting curve was created between the two stations, which was retained as the siding of the gas-fired thermal power station south after the section between Munich-Isartalbahnhof and Großhesselohe-Isartalbahnhof was gradually discontinued between 1964 and 1989 .
A standard Sp Dr S60 track plan pushbutton interlocking from Siemens has been in operation at Munich South Station since 1967 . The signal box is housed in a five-storey building in the western area of the station, which is located south of the tracks next to the underpass of Lindwurmstrasse . The points and signals are set via two control tables , one of which is only used for shunting.
Freight transport
Before the opening of the Munich-Laim marshalling yard (1892/93), the Munich South station took on essential train formation tasks for long-distance freight traffic on the lines to Simbach and the Rosenheim – Salzburg line . For a long time, the local cargo handling played an important role in the food supply of the city of Munich, as the city cattle yard was opened in 1878 and the wholesale market hall in the vicinity of the Südbahnhof in 1912 . The former has not been supplied by rail since the late 1980s, while the wholesale market hall essentially only purchases bananas by rail. Furthermore, the Stadtwerke's cogeneration plant rarely receives oil in tank wagons. Since the station itself still has many tracks, it is often used to park construction trains.
passenger traffic
With the opening of the Poccistraße underground station on May 28, 1978, passenger traffic was severely restricted. Passenger transport was transferred to the subway , which serves the Poccistraße stop nearby, which is served by the U3 and U6 lines . Since June 1, 1985, passenger trains have stopped at the Südbahnhof.
The former historic station building from 1870 was demolished in July 2005. Only some of the platforms are still there.
Proposals for the management of a second S-Bahn main line across Munich's Südring provided for a new building not far from the old Südbahnhof with a link to the Poccistraße subway station . These plans in 2001 were rejected in favor of a second trunk line tunnel. However, critics of the tunnel continue to see the expansion of the southern ring as an alternative. However, this was officially rejected on the basis of several comparative studies, most recently in 2009. The construction of a new regional train stop in Poccistraße is still being pursued.
