The Munich Marienplatz train station is a Deutsche Bahn stop, a stop for the Munich public utility company and one of the most important transfer stations in the area of the Munich Transport and Tariff Association .
This is where the main S-Bahn line running in the east-west direction meets the U3 / U6 underground lines running in the north-south direction . At peak times, up to 24,400 people transfer here and 8,000 people get on and off.
Construction of the station began in October 1966 and was completed after five years in October 1971. The total costs amounted to DM 26 million (converted and adjusted for inflation approx. EUR 49.4 million). In 2007, 175,400 people boarding, disembarking and transferring passengers used the stop every weekday.
construction
The train station extends over four levels below Marienplatz , the New Town Hall and the Marienhof .
The distribution level in the 1st lower level contains a shopping arcade and access to the S and U-Bahn platforms. The entrances to the S-Bahn were equipped with two passimeter houses , which were, however, converted into sales kiosks.
Track 1 of the S-Bahn in the direction of Munich Ostbahnhof is located in the 2nd low level with platforms on both sides, with exit on one side and entry on the other side ( Spanish solution ). The platforms are each 210 meters long and 96 cm high. There are also various supply rooms on this level.
In the 3rd low level there is platform 2 of the S-Bahn in the direction of Munich Hauptbahnhof , also with platforms on both sides. The platforms are each 210 meters long and 96 cm high. There are also numerous supply rooms here.
The two platforms of the subway are in the lowest, 4th low level. The track in the direction of Münchner Freiheit runs under Dienerstraße in the east of the Marienhof, the track in the direction of Sendlinger Tor runs below the Weinstraße. Therefore, the two platforms of the subway are quite far apart. The subway station was designed by Alexander Freiherr von Branca . From here, the second-highest escalators in the Munich subway system lead directly up to the distribution level (mezzanine) under Marienplatz and Marienhof.
Expansion work
After the referendum to build the Allianz Arena in October 2001, the underground level was expanded from spring 2003 to summer 2006 for 42 million euros. Up until the 2006 soccer World Cup , the two platform tunnels were widened by two new tunnels running parallel to each other. The new tunnels connect to the existing ones with eleven openings in the wall; in the southern area, additional openings for the S-Bahn entrances were built. The entire construction work took place during ongoing operations. In addition, the platforms were raised by four centimeters to ensure that the underground trains can be boarded at ground level.
The tunneling was carried out in a special process, which should prevent subsidence of the earth's surface and especially the historic New Town Hall. For this purpose, much smaller project tunnels were built above the tunnels to be built, through which the ground was solidified with an icing system. Under the protection of the ice sheet, the actual tunnel could then be excavated without any significant subsidence of the soil and thus damage to the building. Without the icing process, construction work would have been delayed by about a year.
On May 29, 2006, the two extension tunnels were provisionally released for passenger service. After the World Cup, leaks still had to be repaired and the incomplete cladding of the walls had to be completed.
In the future, as part of the construction of the second S-Bahn main line , another S-Bahn station is to be built under the Marienhof , which is to connect to the existing underground structure in the north and cross the U3 / U6 route at a height of about five meters.
Renovation and redesign of the mezzanine floor
From 2011 to October 2015, the train station was renovated and the mezzanine was completely redesigned according to plans by Allmann Sattler Wappner . a. Relocation of the stalls to the edge and new floor, ceiling and wall coverings. The lighting design (LED lighting, etc.) comes from Ingo Maurer .
