history
State Railroad Time
When planning the Eastern Railway from Stuttgart to Ulm , the chief engineer Michael Knoll also planned a station southeast of Plochingen. Around 1900 people lived in the market town at that time. On December 14, 1846, the Royal Württemberg State Railroad inaugurated the Esslingen – Plochingen section . The next section to Süßen was completed on October 11, 1847. The first station building , no longer preserved, was a two-story sandstone building. Since 1852, the Ostbahn had a second track from Cannstatt to Plochingen . On September 20, 1859, with the opening of what was then the Upper Neckar Railway to Tübingen, the station became a hub station .
In 1900 the state railroad planned to build a left bank Neckarbahn , which should run from Stuttgart to Plochingen, in order to relieve the Ostbahn of freight traffic. The planners revised their concepts several times. In 1909 the railway line was supposed to end in Esslingen, but this variant was not realized either and the engineers gave up their idea. The state railway also rejected a railway connection from Neuhausen to Plochingen.
The increasing rail traffic made an expansion of the railway facilities inevitable. This included numerous new tracks, widening the platforms , new signal boxes and a new circular shed with a water tower . The reception building was built between 1905 and 1907 by the famous architect Theodor Fischer in Art Nouveau style. The workers' houses along the railway line also come from his plans.
On June 1, 1913, a hurricane caused great damage in Plochingen. The train station was also affected. The platform roofs could not withstand the force of nature.
Reichsbahn time
On June 1, 1933 , the Reichsbahn electrified the Stuttgart – Ulm line. This brought Plochingen a connection to the suburban traffic in Stuttgart for the first time . Most of the railcars from Stuttgart ended up in Esslingen.
During the Second World War , the station was the target of Allied air raids. On February 21, 1945, bombs fell on the area of the goods shed and on the railway road. The most devastating attack took place on April 4, 1945 with fighter-bombers that bombed the railway system. The travelers fled from a passenger train near the old Bahnhofstrasse. Seven of them were killed by gunfire. The nearby Wernau – Schnaitwald junction was also in operation for a short time . It was opened on February 15, 1945 to save freight trains from the direction of Tübingen in the direction of Ulm or vice versa, having to turn around at the Plochingen station, but was abandoned again in 1946.
Federal Railroad Time
The establishment of a port in Plochingen began in the 1950s . There were still plans to canalize the Fils as far as Göppingen and make them navigable. However, the building management decided against this and Plochingen remained the last port. The first ship docked on July 12, 1968. The Rheinkai on the left bank of the Neckar received a railway connection through the 195 meter long port railway bridge . It is particularly noticeable because of its curved shape. The Plochinger Hafenbahn begins in the southwestern track field of the station and can only be used from the direction of Göppingen or Wendlingen .
Due to the dense train sequence and for the planned Stuttgart S-Bahn , the Federal Railroad expanded the Esslingen – Plochingen section to four tracks. Completion took place on September 27, 1970, the station was only expanded in 1974.
On October 1, 1978, the first journey on the S1 line was in Plochingen. A new depot was built in Plochingen for the 420 series that will be used, and the old circular shed and water tower had to make way for this.
21st century
At Easter 2006, after an 18-month construction period, a new electronic signal box went into operation at Plochingen station . It consists of a sub-center (UZ) and outsourced ESTW (ESTW-A) in Plochingen, Esslingen and Ebersbach. A further expansion towards Ulm was taken into account.
The 80 million euro system is remotely controlled from the operations center in Karlsruhe and regulates train traffic over a total of around 50 kilometers. The area extends to Untertürkheim , Göppingen and Wendlingen. The system replaced five old signal boxes. The commissioning took place in stages in five nightly closed pauses between April 13th and 18th, 2006. A remote electronic signal box (ESTW-A) is to be built in Süßen station by the end of 2021, which is to be connected to the Plochingen sub-center.
Two edges on a central platform were temporarily increased from 38 to 76 cm to a width of 2.5 m during the closure of the high-speed route Mannheim – Stuttgart (from April to October 2020) so that ICE trains can stop there.
outlook
After the implementation of Stuttgart 21 and the new Wendlingen – Ulm route - according to a traffic forecast - the regional accessibility of the Plochingen port traffic cell by public transport, assessed according to the average travel time weighted according to traffic demand, should increase from 41 minutes (2010) to 33 minutes (2025 ) improve.
investment
From the station building , track 1 can be reached via a house platform . The through tracks 3/4, 6/7 and 9/10 are located on three central platforms that are accessible through an underpass . The stump track 59 connects to the central platform 9/10 in a southerly direction . The butt tracks 52 and 53 at the southern end of the middle platform 3/4 are only used as stabling tracks . Tracks 2, 5 and 8 are not on platforms and are not used by stopping trains to pass through the station. To the west of the platforms are several sidings for S-Bahn and freight trains. To the north of the station, the multiple units of the Stuttgart S-Bahn are serviced in the Plochingen S-Bahn depot . The central bus station (ZOB) is located next to the reception building.
Reception building
In 1907, the station building was very spacious. In terms of its symmetry, it differs from classic train station buildings in Württemberg . Although it has a long central building with a two-story central projection with a hipped roof , the two wing structures with their half- hipped roofs are different. While the eastern extension has four floors, its western counterpart has a fifth floor and a clock tower with a copper roof on the roof ridge. The total length of the building is 96 meters. In the public part of the building there is u. a. a train station restaurant, a newspaper kiosk, a travel center and a bakery. The upper floors, which are not open to the public, include a break room for train drivers .
Train traffic
Only Deutsche Bahn trains stop at Plochingen station in the 2019 timetable , around 300 per day.
