history

The station building was completed on December 1, 1871 with the opening of the Nuremberg – Neumarkt railway line. In 1873 the line was extended to Regensburg. From June 1, 1888, the Sulztalbahn trains in the direction of Beilngries and Freystadt also ran from here. In addition to the station building for passenger traffic, a freight station was also built , through which goods from local companies in particular were handled.

On April 22, 1945, the station was almost completely destroyed in an air raid by the US Air Force . Numerous people, including refugees in a train parked in the station, were killed here.

After the end of the war, the station was rebuilt and expanded, and track 3 was also removed in the 1970s and the platform for tracks 2 and 4 was built there.

After passenger traffic on the Sulztalbahn ceased on September 25, 1987, the station lost its function as a transfer station to the Altmühltal. Shortly afterwards, the neighboring freight yard was also shut down.

In 1995, a separate platform was built for track 5, which was also equipped with a lift for disabled people from the start.

The former freight yard was demolished in 1996/1997, and today's bus station was built in its place. In the course of the construction work, the station building was completely renovated and the station square in front of the building was redesigned. Digital train destination displays were installed on the platforms and a "TrainingPoint" was set up in the station hall for Deutsche Bahn trainees , which existed until 2007.

Expansion for the S-Bahn
