The Pleinfeld station is the station of the Bavarian market town of Pleinfeld in the Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district and is a separation station on the main Treuchtlingen – Nuremberg line . The branching line to Gunzenhausen used to be part of the Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn , which reached the station in 1849, 20 years before today's main line.
history
On August 25, 1843, the law on the construction of the Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn was enacted, on October 7th, the Bavarian King Ludwig I made the decision to run the route from Donauwörth via Nördlingen and Gunzenhausen to Nuremberg . The Royal Ministry of State confirmed this decision on February 21, 1844. The first land acquisition in the area of Pleinfeld took place on September 23, 1845. On February 28, 1849, the orders for the production of the objects of the Pleinfeld railway station were awarded and on March 22, 1849 the track plan for the station approved by the Royal Railway Commission Munich.
The Gunzenhausen – Pleinfeld– Schwabach line was opened on October 1, 1849 - this closed the gap between Munich and Nuremberg. The magistrates of the cities of Ellingen and Weißenburg as well as the Pleinfeld market applied for the construction of a two-way railway from Pleinfeld to Weißenburg on April 7, 1861 . On May 17, 1861, the General Directorate of the Royal Transport Authority in Nuremberg applied for the tracks to be lengthened, as tree trunks of unusual sizes had to be loaded constantly. This request was made again on July 16, 1866.
The land required for the construction of the line between Treuchtlingen and Pleinfeld was determined on March 19, 1867, and on September 12, 1868 the purchase of land for the extension of the station was approved. The line was opened on October 2, 1869. On June 5, 1873, the expanded station was opened. After the track system was expanded, a main operating building, a loading hall, a water house, two public steps , the locomotive shed I in the old warehouse, the new locomotive shed II, a service building in the old operating building, two exchange attendant houses, water cranes , a scale and a turntable were available.
In the planning phase for further railway lines in Bavaria that began in 1875, the two connections Pleinfeld– Kelheim via Heideck , Thalmässing , Greding , Beilngries and Dietfurt as well as the line Pleinfeld– Schwandorf via Hilpoltstein , Freystadt and Neumarkt in the Upper Palatinate were planned, with between Pleinfeld and Georgensgmünd there was a dispute about the connection to the existing route. On April 9, 1904, Pleinfeld applied to build a marshalling yard , because in connection with the construction of the Donauwörth – Treuchtlingen line, Pleinfeld wanted to become a hub for shunting work and as a local goods exit station. Gunzenhausen and Donauwörth were chosen for operational reasons. This line was put into operation on October 1, 1906.
Pleinfeld's request of February 7, 1908 to take electricity for the electrical lighting from the railway's own power station was followed by an electricity supply contract on March 22, 1910. In 1911 the first sketches for a station renovation were made. The main administration did not agree to an improvement of the train station and line until July 23, 1933. The VES electromechanical signal box was put into operation on August 25, 1933, and electrification was completed in 1935 .
Towards the end of the Second World War , on March 5, 1945, the entire contact line in the station area was destroyed by American low-flying aircraft. The train operation with electric locomotives was maintained, however. The trains pulled in with momentum and were pushed back onto the line by steam locomotive . Ten freight cars exploded when an ammunition train was shot at in April 1945 . From June 13, 1945, the route to Gunzenhausen was again passable; from November 5, 1957, train reports on this route were no longer sent by telegram, but by telephone. The first Akkumulatortriebwagen type ETA 150 reversed on 20 March 1959 by Pleinfeld to Nördlingen.
In 1972 the goods handling facility was closed, from 1975 to 1976 the former station building was demolished and the station building and the platform underpass rebuilt, the track plan changed and the signal box converted to track plan technology. On February 1, 1975, the main office was dissolved, and Pleinfeld became a branch of the Weißenburg train station. The general cargo shipment has been discontinued. The branch office function was terminated on January 1, 1977. The new track plan signal box Dr S60 was put into operation on July 31, 1978. From February 15, 1982 this signal box took over the remote control of the Georgensgmünd station, which was followed by the Weissenburg station on June 1, 1987.
The ticket issue opened from 31 May 1982 only once a month for the sale of season tickets ; this ended in 1986 with the installation of ticket machines . On July 18, 1987, the station was incorporated into the main station in Roth. In 1994 he was assigned to the Nuremberg operating district. The delivery of freight wagons ended in the summer of 1999 and the wagon load tariff point no longer applies. Since the inauguration of the S3 S-Bahn line between Nuremberg and Roth on June 9, 2001, Pleinfeld has only been served by regional express trains from Nuremberg and Treuchtlingen - the journey time to Nuremberg is only 33 or 36 minutes. When the overhead lines were renewed in 2006, passing track 6 was no longer spanned and taken out of service.
