The Nürtingen station is a railway junction on the Neckar-Alb railway from Plochingen to Tübingen , where the valley railway branches off to Neuffen . It is served by a pair of intercity trains, regional trains and trains of the Württembergische Eisenbahngesellschaft .

history

opening

The Royal Württemberg State Railroad opened the first section of the Upper Neckar Railway from Plochingen to Reutlingen on September 20, 1859 . Nürtingen, conveniently located on the Neckar located and as official district , it also received a rail connection. The station was built east of the city.
The reception building at that time is still preserved. It also housed the post office until 1893 , when it was given its own building south of the reception building.

Nürtingen becomes a railway junction

At the end of the 19th century , the city of Neuffen tried to get a railway connection. This was made possible by a private railway. Since June 1, 1900, the railway line to Neuffen, called Tälesbahn , has branched off from the Upper Neckar Railway in Nürtingen . At the same time, the management of the state railway was planning a railway line that would branch off in Nürtingen on the left bank of the Neckar to Kirchentellinsfurt . However, she rejected this project. Also in 1900 the state railway put a second track into operation on the section Unterboihingen - Neckartailfingen .

Nürtingen recorded increasing population numbers. With new residential and commercial buildings, but also industrial and commercial operations, the city grew towards the train station.

Reichsbahn time

As early as 1926, the city administration and the tourist office declared the reception building too small and no longer up to date. The Deutsche Reichsbahn did not share this opinion and refused to finance a new building. Only when some Nürtingen industrial companies declared their willingness to participate in the costs and the post office wanted to take over the old building did the Reichsbahn agree.

The new reception building was built north of the former building. Its inauguration took place on November 19, 1934. As early as October 1, 1934, the Reichsbahn electrified the line from Plochingen to Tübingen .

outlook

The Stuttgart Region Association decided on April 22nd, 2020 to commission planning (work phases 1 to 4) to adapt the platforms required for an extension of the Stuttgart S-Bahn to Nürtingen.

Reception building

In Nürtingen, both the station building from 1859 and the new building from 1934 have been preserved.

Entrance building from 1859

Entrance building from 1859 (status 2010)

The station building from 1859 is a two-story building with a gable roof . Windows and doors on the ground floor were provided with round arches (still recognizable today). It originally measured a length of 25.78 meters and a width of 14.32 meters. From the street side, the travelers entered a slim counter hall. The building provided space for a waiting room and service rooms for railway employees and the post office. The building was later added to the south. On the upper floor there were apartments for the railway staff. In 1893, the post office received its own structure south of the reception building. In 1934 the Post took over the reception building from the Reichsbahn.

Entrance building from 1934

The station building from 1934 is - in keeping with its time - very representative but functional. The main part of the building (central building and two two-story wing structures) originally measured 43 meters in length and 14.5 meters in width. To the north a stairwell protrudes with a length of about 4.5 meters as a risalit , in the length of which a one-story extension is connected. To the south, too, the Deutsche Bundesbahn enlarged the building in 1949 by adding a five-meter-long one-story extension.

The length of the counter hall in the central building is no longer preserved due to interior renovations. Originally it was 24 meters long and 7.12 meters wide. The room height is 6.6 meters. The large window front on the street side illuminates the hall. The central building continues on a single story to the east.

The building is covered with several hip roofs, the one-story part of the central building with a flat roof.

On November 19, 1934, the Reichsbahn inaugurated the building.

Rail operations

The station has three platform tracks. The trains in the direction of Metzingen stop on track 1, the main platform , and on track 2 in the direction of Wendlingen . The WEG trains to Neuffen start on platform 3 .

The station Nürtingen is from the Deutsche Bahn AG in the station category out third

Trivia

The Nürtingen station gained national recognition through the Harald Schmidt Show on December 19, 2001: In it, the events at the station were re-enacted on a model railway system and jokingly commented on by Harald Schmidt , who grew up in Nürtingen. The model from the show was later exhibited in the station building. The art professor Andreas Mayer-Brennenstuhl sees this as a trigger for the renovation of the station, even if the model hardly had anything to do with the actual situation on site.

According to the third expert draft of the Deutschland-Takts , three long-distance trains per hour and direction are planned in the future, including a two-hour pair of trains from / to Amsterdam.
