The Maxhütte-Haidhof station is currently the only station with local public transport in the middle center of the city triangle Burglengenfeld , Teublitz and Maxhütte-Haidhof .

history

In the middle of the 19th century, extensive brown coal deposits were discovered in the Sauforst near Burglengenfeld . In the vicinity of Haidhof, an ironworks was built by the Eisenwerk-Gesellschaft Maximilianshütte in 1851/53 , which was later called Maxhütte for short . In 1856 the private initiative Actiengesellschaft der Bavarian Eastern Railways was founded with the aim of connecting Eastern Bavaria to the national rail network. Original plans included a guided tour through the Vils valley for the route from Nuremberg via Amberg to Regensburg . In order to develop the lignite and iron ore deposits, however, it was decided to route the route to the east via Schwandorf .

For the construction of the Bavarian Eastern Railway, 65 stations had to be planned under the direction of chief engineer Heinrich von Hügel by the middle of the 19th century. The “Heidhof” station building was the 18th station on the Nuremberg – Amberg – Regensburg route in 1859. Originally, the station was in the Ibenthann district, west of Haidhof. At first it was the only building far and wide. The costs for the “reception building, two-story, solidly built in stone” amounted to 8,128.19 guilders. A massive goods shed for 4,700 guilders and a wooden "exit building" at a price of 317.31 guilders were also built on the site of the station .

The Sulzbacher ore mines were bought by Maximilianshütte in 1859 . Ore mines and smelter were connected by the new railway line. In 1869, branching off the Regensburg – Weiden railway line , an industrial branch line was opened to the nearby Maximilianshütte plant. 30 years later, this line was extended to Burglengenfeld and passenger traffic started. In 1967 this was discontinued. Freight traffic continues to take place on the route.

The station has been called Maxhütte-Haidhof since 1957 .

In 2000, the station forecourt was rebuilt, and two years later a Park & ​​Ride facility opened there. From 2007 the station was made barrier-free .

In 2011 the city of Maxhütte-Haidhof acquired the station building from a private person who had bought it from Deutsche Bahn a few years earlier. After the city decided to demolish the building in the summer of 2012, a “historical working group” was founded to help preserve the building.

The ailing reception building is currently (as of November 2017) being restored. The plans include a café, among other things.

Furnishing

The reception building before the renovation; before that the track to Burglengenfeld

The station has three main tracks, two of which are equipped with platforms. In front of the station is a marshalling bay with six tracks, which dates from the time of the former Maximilianshütte ironworks. The underpass was equipped with lifts for barrier-free access to the railway tracks .

Transport links

There is a taxi rank and a bus stop at the train station to connect to the city triangle. However, these connection offers are often criticized as poorly timed and insufficiently. A Park & ​​Ride car park is also attached to the station.

The train station's passenger transport links lead to Regensburg and Schwandorf .

In autumn 2015 the Pro Städtedreiecksbahn initiative was founded, which calls for the reactivation of the Haidhof – Burglengenfeld railway line. For a possible reactivation of passenger traffic to Burglengenfeld for local public transport, the station forecourt through which the track leads to Burglengenfeld would have to be significantly redesigned, as the existing platform no longer complies with the applicable regulations.
