The station Offenburg the Baden-Württemberg town of Offenburg is one of the main hubs of rail transport in South Baden .

The passenger station has seven tracks on four platforms . In Offenburg, the name “Offenburg Hauptbahnhof” is also widely used to distinguish it from the Offenburg Kreisschulzentrum stop on the Black Forest Railway . The Offenburg is in operation department listing under the name RO out.
The station had an important economic importance for the railway town of Offenburg, but lost it as a result of the closure of the repair shop and the marshalling yard .

The train station is about one kilometer north of the old town and can be reached by 18 different bus lines from the Central Bus Station Offenburg (ZOB), 50 meters away.

history
The station , located on the Baden main line and opened in 1844, received a smaller version of the reception building of the old Karlsruhe station from Friedrich Eisenlohr . When the station was expanded several times, a four-unit locomotive shed and workshop facility was created, from which the renovation from 1902 to 1908 resulted in the Offenburg repair shop . During the First World War , the station was attacked several times. The heaviest of these caused the entire central section of the reception building to collapse on July 22, 1918 with four direct hits. The Badische Hauptbahn was interrupted by the occupation of Offenburg and Appenweiers as a result of the Ruhr occupation in February 1923. Therefore, the trains of the Baden main line had to be diverted to Pforzheim via Donaueschingen , Hausach , Freudenstadt and Hochdorf by December 12, 1923 . During the Second World War , a 1.18 km long connecting curve between the Rhine Valley Railway and the Black Forest Railway was built as a bypass to the south of the station .
In 1989 it was first considered to outsource the Offenburg train station. Appenweier and Windschläg were discussed as possible locations at the time. Ultimately, however, the project failed due to the protest of the citizens of Offenburg, who did not want to give up their train station, which is also a landmark of the city.
TGV trains have been running from Paris via Strasbourg and Stuttgart to Munich since June 2007 . Therefore, since June 10, 2007, a half-hourly service with OSB multiple units from Offenburg to Strasbourg has been introduced. For this purpose, for example, all the Ortenau S-Bahn trains that were still ending were extended from Kehl to Strasbourg.
In 2004 a new platform was built and the former freight track 7 was made accessible for passenger trains. This track relieves tracks 5 and 6. At the end of 2006, all platform roofs were provided with new roof panels. In 2007, track 3 was renewed. In July 2009 the southern part of the platforms on tracks 1/2 and 3/4 was raised and extended. The platforms can be reached by elevator. By the end of October 2009, the south underpass tunnel towards the east of the city was pushed through and a new bus stop ( train station / east side ) was built so that the east of the city has been better connected to traffic since October 22, 2009. The Radhaus was opened here in 2013 , a fully automatic bicycle parking garage based on the model of the Smart Towers .
A renovation of the station building was planned for the period from the end of 2008, but will not be carried out now. The Europe-wide invitation to tender ran between November 2006 and January 2007.
future plans
The Rhine Valley Railway south of Offenburg and especially the Offenburg train station in the direction of Freiburg im Breisgau are seen as bottlenecks , as only two tracks are available for supra-regional freight , half-hourly to hourly regional and long-distance traffic with three trains in two hours. The construction of a third and fourth track between Offenburg and Basel is therefore planned , although there are violent protests from residents who prefer the tunnel variant below the Weststadt. However, this variant is again criticized by the residents of the Weststadt.
In the course of the new and upgraded line, no changes to the railway system of the station are planned, with the exception of noise protection walls.
An ESTW is to be built for Offenburg Rbf from May 2015 to June 2016 . Here, three tracks and thirteen switches are to be removed and six new switches installed. In addition, the drainage mountain should be omitted.
