history
1879-1918
The station was opened on June 15, 1879, when the Vizinalbahn from Weilheim was the last of its kind to open in Bavaria. At that time the station had three through tracks that joined in front of a turntable. There was also a locomotive shed west of the tracks. The first modifications were made in 1889 when the local railway to Garmisch-Partenkirchen was put into operation by the local railway company (LAG) and the station became a through station . In 1897 the station area was redesigned again in the form of the new Ammergaubahn station a few meters southwest of the state station. At the same time, a depot was built south of the Ammergaubahn station for the locomotives used on the Ammergaubahn.This was necessary because the railway line to Oberammergau was the first railway line in Germany to be operated with single-phase alternating current with a low frequency, while the main line was not operated until 1924 / 25 was electrified.
1918-1945
The next redesign took place in the years 1927–1930 when the underpass, which still exists today, was built and the platform edges were fortified. In addition, the station was equipped with signal box equipment in the form of two guard signal boxes and a dispatcher command post. The station was expanded again for this command post. For the 1936 Winter Olympics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the railway line between Huglfing and Hechendorf was expanded to two tracks. In the course of this expansion, Murnau station received several additional sidings. This second track, however, was dismantled again between Murnau and Huglfing during the Second World War.
1945-1993
On January 1, 1954, the Murnau depot was dissolved as an independent department and incorporated into the Garmisch-Partenkirchen depot as a branch. In 1954 the Murnau-Oberammergau railway was equipped with the usual electricity system, which means that the same electricity system was used throughout the station. Since May 3, 1960, the Ammergaubahn trains have been calling at the state station when the old local station was closed. The platform barriers lost their function in 1966. The station was connected to the long-distance network in 1979 with the introduction of intercity connections.
The station became better known in 1985 when Siemens handed over one of the first electronic interlockings to what was then the Deutsche Bundesbahn on December 13th . This ESTW went into independent operation in 1988 and was replaced in 2008 by a satellite from the ESTW Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
The "carving station manager" Josef Schranz (1899 to 1986), who decorated the station restaurant with self-made carvings, also achieved fame. From 1949 to the early 1980s, his restaurant was a popular meeting place, also for the numerous railway enthusiasts who wanted to experience the locomotives of the E69 series in scheduled operation on the local railway to Oberammergau .
Since 1994
In the years from 2008 the station and the surrounding area were redesigned for the last time. The tracks that were no longer needed were dismantled and the platforms and the underpass were converted to make them accessible. This expansion took place in the course of the modernization of the route in the course of the Alpine World Ski Championships 2011 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. In the years 2007–2008, the old goods hall was demolished and the site was built over with a Park + Ride car park and a new bus stop. In 2012, the station was converted into a citizens' station based on the model of the Landsberg station and the reception building was completely modernized.
In August 2013, the renovation was awarded the special prize for tourism by the Pro Schiene Alliance in the Station of the Year competition.
By the end of 2014, the platforms in Murnau will be equipped with new passenger information displays similar to those in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The aim of this measure is to improve passenger information at Murnau train station.
Infrastructure
The Murnau train station has four platform tracks. Track 1 is on the house platform , tracks 2 and 3 on a central platform . Track 4 is a stump track at the southern end of the house platform. The station is completely barrier-free and has dynamic passenger information. In the reception building there is a kiosk, toilets and a Deutsche Bahn travel center. There used to be several sidings east of the platform tracks , which were dismantled in 2008.

Murnau Ort stop
Immediately at the entrance signal from Oberammergau, at the bridge of the Ammergaubahn over the Garmisch route, is the Murnau Ort stop. ( Location ) It consists of a simple side platform on the track. Operationally, the stop is part of the Murnau station.
Murnau local train station
Together with the construction of the Ammergaubahn to Oberammergau , the LAG built its own station for this line in 1898 a few meters east of the state train station. ( Location ) The station had two platform tracks that were on a central platform . There was also a freight track west of the platform.
In May 1960 the station was shut down for passenger traffic and the trains of the local railway drove into the state station. However, the tracks remained in place and in 2000 they could still be used to park trains. It was not until 2005 that the switch was expanded into a local train station and the area of the train station was built over in 2009 in connection with the construction of a new underpass for the state road to Saulgrub .
The station building is similar to the one in Oberammergau, but overall a little smaller and never had side wings, as was the case in Oberammergau until a few years ago. The building, together with the former railway administration building and a former official residence, is a monument on the basis of the Monument Protection Act of October 1, 1973, the file number is D-1-80-124-7 .
