Railway stations in Saxony-Anhalt

The Quedlinburg station was in 1862 as a transit station on the southern edge of the city Quedlinburg built. The neo-Gothic entrance building from 1862 stands along with the other facilities of the almost closed Gründerzeit ensemble under monument protection .

Since the former standard-gauge line to Frose was changed in 2006 in the Quedlinburg – Gernrode section, it has been the connecting station for the meter-gauge line of the Selketalbahn to the standard-gauge, continuous line from Halberstadt – Thale . From 1908 to 1969 there was also the line to Blankenburg , the so - called Quäke .

Of the four other former Quedlinburger stations or stops is only required maintenance Quedlinburg- Quarmbeck present.

location

Location in Quedlinburg

The train station is located on the eastern side of the Bode about 850 meters from the market square of the historic town center. There are two squares in front of the station: Bahnhofsplatz and Friedrich-Ebert-Platz. The station is connected to the city via the station bridge, which was rebuilt after a devastating flood in 1925 and renovated in the late 1990s. With the adjacent streets Rathenaustraße and Harzweg, the train station is located on Quedlinburger Ring. Numerous metal and industrial companies were located in Klopstockweg at the rear of the station and thus connected to the freight station. Companies such as the roller foundry used the connection to the rail network. When industry broke away in the early 1990s, the volume of goods fell, so that the freight yard was abandoned. In its place there is now the tax office's employee parking lot as well as a park-and-ride parking lot for bicycles, cars and buses, including an access road from Güterstrasse and Stresemannstrasse. The building complex of the former company Mertik Maxitrol was renovated and converted into the tax office of the Harz district .

The station was opened on July 2, 1862 with the railway line from Halberstadt to Thale. The reception building and other buildings date from the opening time. In the following years a number of industrial companies settled in the railway sector. In 1885, with the opening of the line to Gernrode and Ballenstedt, Quedlinburg became a small railway junction. In 1908 the railway line to Blankenburg was opened. In order to accommodate the trains, the station had to be rebuilt. During the renovation, the new platform 1 West and a new water tower were created .

The Quedlinburg train station also played an important role in times that were not peaceful. During the First World War , the Quedlinburg train station was used to transport prisoners of war who were transported to or from the prisoner-of-war camp on the Ritteranger, two kilometers northwest of Quedlinburg. The first prisoners reached Quedlinburg on September 24, 1914. In March 1920, during the Kapp Putsch , the railway area was fought over. Preserved images of the shot down station tunnels testify to this, without the fighting being known in detail.

Shortly before the end of the Second World War , the Allies suspected that V2 weapons were being transported via the Quedlinburg train station . However, the planned bombing failed to materialize, as did the rest of the city. The background for this assumption is a factory in Nordhausen, where V2 weapons were manufactured. This belonged to the Dora-Mittelbau concentration camp , of which branch offices were set up in September 1944 in Quedlinburg and Traunstein, among others. It was therefore erroneously assumed that such a production facility existed in Quedlinburg, but these branch offices were not related to V-weapons production and repair. Nevertheless, in April 1945 a freight train with individual parts of the V2 actually stood on a siding near the gas works. The engineers Rössler and Bühring brought this train close to Ditfurt on April 10 , where American units took it over.

In 1969 passenger traffic on the railway to Blankenburg was stopped. Connections in the urban area were still served until 1993.

Until 1988 the passenger trains were driven by steam locomotives.

When the metal industry collapsed at the Quedlinburg train station in the early 1990s, the importance of the freight and marshalling yard declined. Therefore this was partially shut down. The first tracks were dismantled in the mid-1990s to enable a company to expand on Stresemannstrasse. When Deutsche Bahn was renovating the track on the Magdeburg – Thale line, the sidings in the direction of Magdeburger Strasse were cut and the line was made single-track before the Badeborner Weg level crossing. At the same time, the signaling technology was converted.

In December 2003, the Minister of Transport of Saxony-Anhalt, Karl-Heinz Daehre, signed an agreement with the Harzer Schmalspurbahnen GmbH to connect the Selketalbahn to Quedlinburg and a corresponding project for the Quedlinburg train station. With the reconstruction of the south-eastern station area by the Harz narrow-gauge railways, the last tracks of the former Quedlinburg freight station disappeared. Instead, there is now a parking lot for bicycles, cars and buses. A barrier-free transition to the central platform was also created from this. Before that, only access through the tunnel was possible. The 182 meter long central platform was renovated in three months in 2007 and handed over in June 2007. A total of € 450,000 was spent to raise the platforms, relocate the paving and build a guide strip for the blind. However, since the station ensemble is also a listed building, both the platform roof, the pedestrian tunnel exits and the original natural stone platform edges have been preserved. However, the part of the platform behind the tunnel access was removed; before the refurbishment, there was a track crossing between platforms 1 and 2/3.

In the future, the site of the former marshalling yard is to be upgraded. The route connection to Thale will be maintained, especially in terms of tourism. The future of the pedestrian tunnel is being considered. Different agencies are responsible for the renovation of the buildings, as part of the building and the ground floor of the reception building were sold by DB Station & Service AG .

In spring 2009, on behalf of Mitteldeutsche Baustoffe (MDB) GmbH ( Sennewitz ), the already disused and separated second track between the Magdeburger Strasse level crossing and the former connection to the Groß Orden was renovated. A rail loading system for gravel and greywacke was built in the area of ​​the former coal station. Here, the goods from the Bode gravel works in Ditfurt, two kilometers away, and from the quarry near Rieder, twelve kilometers away, are loaded from the truck onto the railroad. The plan was to resume operations from the end of July 2009 following the restoration of the siding on June 24, 2009 and the laying of two kilometers of new track, but a trial run could not start until October 2009; regular operation began on May 12, 2010 Annual tonnage of around 200,000 t is targeted. Trains up to 590 meters long are to be used. The 126-ton diesel locomotive (type Voith Maxima 40 CC ) used for this purpose was christened Quedlinburg on May 27, 2011 .

Since May 30, 2011, the station mission in Halberstadt has been responsible for looking after the station in Quedlinburg.

Station sign made of email on platform 1

After the renovation of platform 1 including the renewal of the underpass with the installation of elevators was initially planned for around 3 million euros by 2018, implementation is now planned for 2020. In this context, platform 1 is to be extended from a current construction length of 151 m (current useful length 138 m) to a useful length of 180 m. This is justified with regular special trips. Otherwise, platforms are provided in the Halberstadt – Thale area with a length of 140 m. Initially, the pedestrian underpass was not refurbished, as the barrier-free access to platform 3 opened up the central platform. In more recent plans, the renewal of the pedestrian underpass including the installation of elevators on the house and central platform is planned. In the course of the renovation, platform 1 will also be raised to a height of 55 cm. As a result, a separation from the area of ​​the station building is necessary, as this is not lifted. A ramp should connect both areas. The platform roof is being renovated and retained in its previous version due to the preservation of historical monuments. An extension in the course of the platform extension is not planned. In 2018, platform 1 initially only received a new asphalt surface so that the new Abellio railcars can also stop when the timetable changes in December. Further construction work, consisting of the new construction of the platform tunnel, the installation of elevators and the renovation of the house platform including roofing, is now planned between February 2020 and December 2021, around 3.5 million euros will be invested for this.

architecture

building

The station has an almost closed ensemble from the time it was founded. It consists of a listed neo-Gothic station building from 1862, a locomotive shed from 1862, 1889/1892, a goods shed, one of the oldest preserved turntables in Germany from 1889, an express goods shed and a toilet block. It also includes a Schäfer type water tower from 1907/1908. A recreation building dates from 1906, the signal boxes from 1907/1908, a toilet from 1908, a ticket office from 1909 and a water crane from around 1955.

The interior of the neo-Gothic reception building is decorated with stained glass, which was redesigned in 1906. These were made by the company Müller and represent views of the castle hill and the town hall . The station is entered in the Quedlinburg monument register.

Signal boxes

Former signal box Qmf

In the area of ​​the Quedlinburg train station there were two signal boxes: Qmf and Qo. The dispatcher sat in the central signal box (Qmf) built in 1908; the signal box was mechanically of the Jüdel type . The building at the Stresemannstrasse level crossing was given up in 2007 as part of the HSB's renovation work and the rail routes that were no longer available. The sign "Qmf" has already been removed. All tasks were bundled in Quedlinburg-Ost (Qo, at the Güterstrasse level crossing). A mechanical interlocking of type E / GS II was located here . The third Quedlinburg-West interlocking located in the Quedlinburg area was responsible for the Quäke marshalling yard of the same name. With the abandonment of the Blankenburg – Quedlinburg railway line and the station that was no longer usable, Qw had less responsibility. In the end it was only the gatekeeper house for the Gernröder Weg level crossing. This also became taskless with the gauging and the technical security of the level crossings and is now out of service. Like Qmf, Qw was previously equipped with the Jüdel type mechanical movement.

In the Quedlinburg urban area (only the core city of Quedlinburg) there are ten level crossings, two of which are exclusively agricultural roads. At the end of the 20th century, the full barrier systems were manually operated. The gatekeepers were active in Gernröder Weg, in the Quedlinburg East, Middle and West signal boxes and at the Magdeburger Straße level crossing. Initially the level crossing in the Güterstraße was electronically operated by the Quedlinburg-Ost signal box, then the BÜ Gernröder Weg and Neinstedter Feldweg followed. In the course of the renovation of the Harz narrow-gauge railways in 2005/2006, the level crossings affected were converted to automatic systems with half barriers. These are also connected to the traffic lights at Gernröder Weg / Harzweg and Harzweg / Stresemannstraße. As a result, the roads leading to Stresemannstrasse are kept free at the same time and those in Gernröder Weg are kept free with a time delay with traffic flow measurement so that there can be no backlog at the intersection. The Stresemannstrasse level crossing was previously triggered by the directly adjacent Quedlinburg-Mitte signal box (QmF). Just like the next level crossing in Albert-Schweitzer-Straße, the barrier booms were raised and lowered by wire rope. Today the level crossings are partly controlled several times. The level crossing in the station area in Stresemannstraße can be operated fully automatically by the Quedlinburg-Ost signal box.

Necessary renovation work on the level crossings further north-east failed for a long time due to the will and co-financing of Deutsche Bahn. For example, Magdeburger Strasse (formerly the B6, now a feeder to the B6n) with footpaths and cycle paths on both sides was completely renovated, except for the level crossing area. The lack of renovation meant that pedestrians and cyclists had to use the street, with a footpath only on the northern side and pedestrians having to cross the busy street. At the same time, up to the end of 2013, this was the last fully barred level crossing that was still manually operated by a gatekeeper. The full barrier in Badeborner Weg was last electronically operated from this gatekeeper's house. The level crossings at Magdeburger Strasse, Badeborner Weg and Güterstrasse were to be redesigned in spring / summer 2013 as part of the flashing light program. The plan was not implemented until the end of 2013. The level crossings northeast of the train station were provided with automatic half-barriers with light signals. For this, the last gatekeeper's house in Magdeburger Strasse had to be demolished. Only in the Güterstrasse are currently (as of February 2018) full barriers with a flashing light in operation, as there are security problems with the entry of trucks to the adjacent supermarket.

Feature is the functional yet at the level crossing Stresemannstrasse pedestrian tunnel .

Extensions and conversions

In 1992 the station forecourt was fundamentally rebuilt. After the traffic lights could no longer withstand the increased individual traffic, the first roundabout was built in Quedlinburg against the protest of the residents . This involved the redesign of the bus station, which was given an access via Harzweg and its own exit in the roundabout. Seven bus stops with barrier-free access were created. Two more stops are located along Bahnhofsstraße.

Reception building

The hall of the reception building used to have space for numerous counters, timetables, smaller shops, later the Mitropa restaurant, a station hairdresser, a newspaper kiosk and ticket machines. After Deutsche Bahn withdrew from ticket sales, the Q-Bus Nahverkehrsgesellschaft took over a counter and since then, as a service point, has been selling tickets for Deutsche Bahn, Abellio, the trains of the Harz narrow-gauge railways and the buses of the Q-Bus and the Südharz transport company (exclusively for buses from the Harz district to the Salzland district).

Companies

Since many companies broke away, industrial companies are no longer active in the area of ​​the train station. A building materials company has set up shop at the east end. There is also a games library in another part of the reception building and a snack bar at the taxi stand. Another snack bar at the bus station was demolished after several fires.

Art in area B

There are now studios in several former railway buildings. A disused freight track was used as a draisine route as part of art projects . The aim of Areal B (Areal Bahnhof) is to preserve and visually improve the area, especially after many of the track systems have been dismantled. Several sculptures and installations were created, the majority of which had to be removed in the course of the preparation of the parking lot for the Harz narrow-gauge railways.

On September 16, 1993, the owner of a hotel at the train station installed the steam locomotive 52 8147-2 (52 2642) built in 1942 as a memorial on the hotel forecourt directly on the station grounds. Due to major rust damage and the change of ownership of the hotel, the locomotive was auctioned in June 2006. The Ostertalbahn was awarded the contract, which used parts of the dismantled locomotive to improve their own.

classification

Quedlinburg is part of the northern Harz network and serves as a local transport system stop. The next larger train stations in Halberstadt and in the state capital Magdeburg can be reached without changing. The train stations in Halle (Saale) and Hanover and thus long-distance lines can be reached via Magdeburg or with a change . The Harz 3-node model has existed since May 30, 1999 , which means that in the three towns of Quedlinburg, Halberstadt and Wernigerode, a timed timetable enables cheap transfers between the trains and the bus network. Relocating the junction from Quedlinburg to Thale, as was planned in 2005, has meanwhile been discarded due to the connection to the HSB. Between 1,000 and 2,000 people (as of 2005) use the Quedlinburg station for passenger rail transport.

Magdeburg – Thale

→ Main article : Magdeburg – Thale railway line

From today's perspective, the Magdeburg – Thale line consists of a total of three sections that were historically realized in two sections: while the Magdeburg – Halberstadt section was opened on July 15, 1843, the extension to Thale only followed in 1862. The maximum speed on the line is 100 km / h in sections and should be increased to 120 km / h in the next few years. The traffic on the Magdeburg – Thale line was operated from December 11, 2005 to December 8, 2018 by Transdev Sachsen-Anhalt under the HEX (Harz-Elbe-Express) brand. LINT-41 multiple units were mainly used . The 2009/2010 timetable contained a connection to Thale Hauptbahnhof every hour from hour 5 to hour 22 and after midnight a connection to Magdeburg central station from hour 5 to hour 21. For December 2018 to December 2032, Abellio Rail Mitteldeutschland was obliged to take over operations on the current scale in the so-called Saxony-Anhalt diesel network .

While the capacity utilization of trains in the Thale – Quedlinburg area fell by 5 to 15 percent between 1998 and 2005, it remained roughly the same on the Quedlinburg – Halberstadt section.

The Harz-Berlin-Express ( Berlin Ostbahnhof  - Potsdam  - Magdeburg  - Thale) has been offering a continuous connection for day trippers from the Berlin area on weekends since December 2005. On Saturday and Sunday mornings and Sunday evenings, trains run from Berlin Ostbahnhof via Halberstadt (here train separation with the train part in the direction of Ilsenburg and Vienenburg) to Thale Hbf. Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening runs in the direction of Berlin. The trains run between the Harz Mountains and Magdeburg on the orders of the State of Saxony-Anhalt, onwards in the direction of Berlin as an independent service. From 1997 to 2005, DB Regio operated a weekend excursion train between Berlin and the Harz Mountains, which has been to Quedlinburg since 2002.

Since July 2009, the newly built loading station in the Magdeburger Strasse industrial park in Quedlinburg has been loading graywacke from Rieder and gravel from the Kiessee in Ditfurt onto freight wagons. To this end, Mitteldeutsche Baustoffe GmbH built and rebuilt around 2000 meters of tracks parallel to the main line so that trains up to 590 meters long can be handled.

The Balkans

→ Main article : Frose – Quedlinburg railway line

The Balkans was a nickname for the Frose – Quedlinburg railway line, which opened in 1868 from Frose to Ballenstedt and in 1885 to Quedlinburg. The line was used by the Quedlinburg – Aschersleben line (formerly KBS 332 ). Most recently, the so-called piglet taxes drove on this branch line . To increase the attractiveness, the timetable was changed in 2001, so the trains ran between Quedlinburg and Ballenstedt every hour and between Ballenstedt and Aschersleben every two hours. In 2003 a signal box fire in Ballenstedt Ost was used as an opportunity to initially cease operations between Gernrode and Ermsleben, on December 13, 2003 Ermsleben followed to Frose and finally the last train from Quedlinburg to Gernrode on January 31, 2004. Operation is ensured by the PlusBus 240 (Quedlinburg – Ballenstedt – Aschersleben).

The Selketalbahn

→ Main article : Selketalbahn

Even before traffic on the route to Frose was stopped, there were plans to extend the narrow-gauge Selketalbahn , which began in Gernrode, to Quedlinburg in order to increase its attractiveness. Originally, the connection was to be made using a three-rail track . After the regular-gauge line was shut down, these plans were discarded and the Gernrode – Quedlinburg section was switched to meter gauge. Due to the well-preserved railway embankment , the construction time was just under a year, with almost all level crossings being modernized or replaced by automatic systems. Platform 3 has since been the stop of the Selketalbahn, which has a siding in addition to a bypass for moving the steam locomotives. In addition, a new water crane was installed at the end of the platform . From Quedlinburg there are several train trips a day via Gernrode to Eisfelder Talmühle , two of which are steamed daily. Special trips lead directly to the Brocken several times. The number of passengers on the Selketalbahn has increased by 20 percent due to the extension to Quedlinburg.

The Quaker

→ Main article : Blankenburg – Quedlinburg railway line

Via the former branch line from Blankenburg via Timmenrode to Quedlinburg with the branch line from Timmenrode to Thale Bodetal (opened 1907/1908), the Quedlinburg station was only served by passenger traffic from April 1908 to June 1969. In addition to the Quedlinburg-West marshalling yard, there were also the Dippenword and Maaßmühle stops for the so-called Quäke. The fact that the route built by the Halberstadt-Blankenburg Railway was not originally planned can be seen from the fact that another platform had to be built in Quedlinburg . Platform 1 West was offset behind the station building; a transfer track was required for the end of the line, as was a water crane just before the Stresemannstraße level crossing. This is the only witness that is still visible today. Parts of the line were shut down because they were severely damaged by an excessive load of freight trains from Rübeland during the line closure Blankenburg – Halberstadt . From 1975 the tracks between Thale and Weddersleben were demolished, in the Quedlinburg area the Waggonfabrik (RAW) operated freight traffic until 1993. Between 2003 and 2005, the tracks in Quedlinburg were dismantled. In the area of ​​the station, the last remains of the track disappeared with the renovation by the Harz narrow-gauge railways in 2005. Individual track connections can currently still be found at the Albert-Schweitzer-Straße level crossing.

Regional traffic

In the 2019 timetable year, Quedlinburg will be served by the following lines:

line	Line course	Tact
RE 11	Thale - Quedlinburg - Halberstadt - Oschersleben - Magdeburg	060
HBX	Thale - Quedlinburg - Halberstadt - Oschersleben - Magdeburg - Potsdam - Berlin	Fri-Sun
HSB	Quedlinburg - Bad Suderode - Gernrode - Alexisbad - stairs - Eisfelder Talmühle	6 trips a day

bus

The bus station is located directly southwest of the train station, from which 12 regional bus routes run by the Harz transport company in the current timetable . Plus buses run every hour to Wernigerode via Blankenburg (line 230) and to Aschersleben via Ballenstedt (line 240). Other destinations are Halberstadt (line 233), Heteborn via Hedersleben (line 235), Opperode via Ballenstedt airfield (line 241), Wippra via Harzgerode (line 242), Thale (lines 251, 252, 253) and Stolberg via Güntersberge (line 255 ). The Salzland roundabout company (KVG) also provides a connection from Aschersleben via Hoym with the TaktBus (line 140). The Quedlinburg city line (line 206) runs five times a day from Monday to Friday. The HVB is in the eastern Harz Transport and Tariff Community .

FlixBus drives to Quedlinburg several times a day on lines 051 (Berlin – Düsseldorf) and 129 (Hamburg – Munich).

Private transport

For individual arrival and departure there is both a short-term car park at the station square and, since 2006, a paid park-and-ride car park on the site of the former freight yard. There are bus parking spaces available there. The city's central taxi pick-up point is on Bahnhofsplatz. Bike-and-ride spaces are available in sufficient numbers both on platform 1 and in the parking lot of the Harzer Schmalspurbahn (HSB).

The station can be reached via the Quedlinburger Stadtring without having to cross the old town. The two exits to the Autobahn 36 (formerly the expressway B 6n ) are four kilometers away, the B 79 three kilometers.

Other Quedlinburg stations and factories

Former signal box Quedlinburg-West

Quedlinburg-West

Built as a freight yard from 1907, Quedlinburg-West was used as a passenger stop for a short time after the Second World War . It was equipped with a main (Quäke track) and five side tracks, a turntable , water crane and locomotive shed. After the marshalling yard was relocated to the "Hauptbahnhof" in Quedlinburg in the early 1950s, the sidings were used for the wagon factory until 2003. After their dissolution, the tracks were dismantled.

Dippenword

The Dippenword stop was on the Quaker. The name is probably derived from the family name Dippe, who owned an orchard on this site. The breakpoint was popular for day trippers to Altenburg.

Maaßmühle

The Maaßmühle stop, located on the Quäke, was also created a few years after the section was opened. It was named after the granary and oil mill of the Biehnert company, located directly at the breakpoint.

Quedlinburg-Quarmbeck

The stop, located directly on Landesstraße 239 (Quedlinburg – Bad Suderode) on the Frose – Quedlinburg line, was put into operation on October 2, 1936 under the name Römergraben for the nearby airfield in Quarmbeck. Today there is still an old bus shelter on the platform. The stop (when the Selketalbahn needs to stop) is not connected to the Quarmbeck settlement via a footpath, so pedestrians have to use the road for around 450 meters.

Quedlinburg wagon factory

The Quedlinburger Waggonfabrik, founded in 1927, was located south of the Bode and west of the former Schäferwiese. It had a connection to the Quäke at kilometer 16.20. Mainly tank and acid tank wagons were repaired here, more rarely other freight wagons and, until the 1960s, also passenger wagons. From 1963 to 1964, over 300 acid tank cars were manufactured in Quedlinburg. As an independent company, the plant had around 60 employees. It was not until 1971 that the company was assigned to the Reichsbahn repair shop "Einheit" Leipzig . There were no locomotives of their own for the on-site shunting service, so these had to be requested. Steam and diesel locomotives were used here until 1972, after which a Kö II was used until 1988 and a V 60 was used until the plant was closed on December 31, 1993. After the suspension of passenger traffic on the Quäke, track 1 west of the (main) station was also used as a siding. But parts of the line to Weddersleben also served as a shunting area. After the closure at the end of 1993, the buildings were offered for sale. Due to their desolate condition - parts of the roof collapsed on April 6, 2004 - they were demolished in early 2005.

As a result of the uprisings of June 17, 1953 , the employees of the wagon factory stopped working on June 18, 1953, whereupon 22 people were arrested.

Others

The railway stations in Thale and Quedlinburg played in the novel Cécile of Theodor Fontane a role:

“... they were now driving towards Quedlinburg, behind whose abbey church the Brocken was already looming. The land that one passed became more and more a garden land, and like strips of grain usually stretch across the field, flower beds ran through the wide area here. […] 'Just look,' said the older one. 'The two towers there. The next one, that must be the Quedlinburger, that is clear, an old woman can feel that with a stick. '"

- Theodor Fontane : Roman Cécile (Chapters 1 and 6)

The Quedlinburger Bahnhof was the location for the following films:

In the junction stations, the clocked railway lines should meet at a certain rhythm so that passengers can change within a few minutes - even to and from bus lines. An important component - the 3-node model for the Harz region with the Halberstadt, Quedlinburg and Wernigerode nodes as the core and connections to Blankenburg and Vienenburg - will be in operation from May 30th. Then the hourly corner connection Blankenburg – Halberstadt – Wernigerode / Vienenburg, which was temporarily abandoned in September 1998, will work again. "
