history
In the course of the construction of the Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn , the first long-distance railway in Bavaria , a train station was planned in Nördlingen , as it was hoped that it would be connected to the Württemberg rail network . Since at that time the locomotives were not powerful enough to be able to lay a route over the Hahnenkamm without problems, the route “around the outside” was chosen: Donauwörth – Nördlingen – Oettingen – Gunzenhausen – Pleinfeld; there were also economic and cost-relevant aspects. There were also feared problems with dam slides in cuts, which actually occurred in 1906 when the Donauwörth – Treuchtlingen line was built.
The 42.4 kilometer long section of the Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn Donauwörth – Nördlingen – Oettingen was built by the Royal Bavarian State Railways , opened on May 15, 1849 and in the same year continued in sections to Nuremberg . In 1861 there was a state treaty between the kingdoms of Bavaria and Württemberg, in which Nördlingen, next to Ulm , was established as the second border station between the two state railways. The Bavarian section of the Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt-Nördlingen railway from the border was also built by the Kingdom of Württemberg ; in Nördlingen it merges with the Augsburg – Nördlingen railway , built in 1849 by the Kingdom of Bavaria . The Royal Württemberg State Railways operated the 3.75 km long section between the border and Nördlingen on a lease basis. In Nördlingen there had been a separate terminus station with its own entrance hall for the Württemberg line since 1863. This is still reflected today in the fact that there are two kilometers on the route , which begin with their zero points at Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt station or at Augsburg main station and meet in Nördlingen; accordingly there are also two route numbers .
As a border station, the layout was now laid out symmetrically: the Bavarian part in the south, the Württemberg part in the north. There were in each case: head platforms with platform hall (directly adjacent to the wings of the building), goods area (with two tracks in front of the station over the city-side station square in order to connect the two goods stations directly; the goods were reloaded in the early days, since a Württemberg locomotive was not able to pull a Bavarian carriage - and vice versa); the actual train station with its facilities (waiting rooms, etc.) was used twice, up to and including the own Bavarian and Württemberg toilet building.
The mean local time was decisive for bourgeois Nördlinger life in the form of solar time ; the railway administrations, on the other hand, were forced to keep two time calculations side by side until the law on the introduction of a uniform time determination was introduced. The internal service was based on the local time of the main station of the district or the capital of the country and the service timetable was published according to this time calculation for the entire railway area. Since the Royal Württemberg State Railways based themselves on the Stuttgart local time , but the Bavarian train traffic on the Munich local time, there was a time difference of nine and a half minutes for the two (railway) times used, until they too, together with the other station clocks German Empire, on June 1, 1891, were converted to the uniform Central European railway time.
Trains starting in Nördlingen continued to start from the corresponding head platform. The trains in the direction of Dombühl , for example, also departed from the Württemberg terminus on platform 3. With the routes to Aalen, Donauwörth, Dombühl, Wemding and Gunzenhausen, Nördlingen station was an important railway junction of regional importance, but which was not regularly served by long-distance trains.
The leveling of the first long-distance railway represents the first major survey in Bavaria and was carried out by the civil engineers of the state railway during the preparation and construction of the lines. The first official survey in the Kingdom of Bavaria did not take place until 1868/69 with the measurements for the Bavarian Precision Leveling . Here, the polygons were also based on the railway lines running through the kingdom, scaled with Bavarian feet and Parisian feet . On April 29, 1869, Bavaria introduced the metric system by law at the turn of the year 1872 (see Old Weights and Measures (Bavaria) ). The altitude table of the Royal Bavarian State Railways at the station building in Nördlingen shows "446.2752 m above sea level".
At the time of the Bavarian State Railways the following facilities were housed in the station building: on the ground floor two stairwells with a forecourt, a "Waiting room I. Class", a "Waiting room II. Class", a "Waiting room III. Classe ”, anteroom,“ Jourbureau ”, a room for the station attendant, a room for the“ Special Cashier ”and a room for the“ Railway Office Board ”, the“ Telegraphen Bureau ”, the“ Railway Expedition ”, the“ Post Expedition ”, the porter, the “arrestant's location”, the registry and two areas for “Schenke u. Buffet "between the waiting rooms of the" II. and III. Class ".
After the city of Nördlingen bought the reception building from an investor in 2013 , renovation began in 2016. After completion in February 2020, a branch of the Donau-Ries district office with around 50 employees moved here, including the vehicle registration office and a job center.
Investments
The Württemberg depot with a three-hour locomotive shed, its own turntable and the locomotive handling systems was located in the area of today's dispatcher interlocking (interlocking 2); however, none of it has survived. Only traces of the turntable pit can still be made out.
Today the Bavarian Railway Museum (BEM) is housed in the former Bavarian depot in Nördlingen . The Bayern train operating company (Bavaria Rail), a private railway company (PSC), has its headquarters in the former. Bavarian freight depot. It leads u. a. the freight traffic on the routes in the surrounding area, as well as the train traffic of the BEM.
There are two signal boxes ( dispatcher in the north and switchman in the south); these are mechanical signal boxes of the » Jüdel « type and were built in 1929. Therefore, the station shows shape signals . The third signal box for the depot was demolished.
future
The barrier-free conversion of the platforms is to follow in 2021. Here all platforms are raised to 76 cm, which makes boarding a train much easier. The entire roof of the house platform is to be demolished and two shelters are to be set up. A new, shortened roof is being built on the central platform.
At the beginning of 2020 there was a breakthrough for the reactivation of the Hesselbergbahn to Dinkelsbühl. From 2024 at the latest, regional trains will run every hour via Dinkelsbühl and Feuchtwangen to Dombühl.
From 2022 Go-Ahead Bayern will take over Lot 1 of the Augsburger Netze, which includes the services of the previous Fugger-Express.

Local rail transport
The regional railway line operated by DB Regio as the Fugger-Express uses Alstom Coradia Continental multiple units (class 440). The route to Gunzenhausen is only used by passenger trains in summer (otherwise only freight traffic). Diesel and steam locomotives are used.
