Rimsting (train station), Königslinde

The station was built at 20.6 km on the Rosenheim - Salzburg railway line , which runs past Rimsting to the east and whose route separates the village from the west bank of Lake Chiemsee . The facility, which was planned on the outskirts of town, was made accessible by connecting roads for the neighboring towns of Breitbrunn , Gstadt , Eggstätt and Hemhof , for which it served as the only public transport connection for a long time. From the train station, paths led to the Urfahrn peninsula to the so-called Rimstinger crossing to the Fraueninsel and Herreninsel .

history

In 1881 the Royal Bavarian State Railways opened the Rimsting station exclusively for the Bavarian King Ludwig II . Normal passenger trains did not serve the station. For the king, the train station was a transfer point to visit the construction site of the Herrenchiemsee Palace . In 1886 the station was abandoned when the king died. The pavilion built as a lounge for the king was moved to Prien am Chiemsee . Today it is a listed building there . In October 1895 the station was reopened as a regular station. The current station building was not built until 1910 to 1911. In 1940 the station was also equipped with a loading ramp, a loading lane and a goods shed . In 1981 the last passenger train stopped in Rimsting. A siding for the delivery of liquefied gas still exists for freight traffic , so that the former train station is still an alternative connection point . The former station building still exists today and is a listed building. A cultural meeting place has been housed there since 2006.

In 1995, for the 150th birthday of King Ludwig II, a small monument in the form of a man-high steel column was erected in his honor a few meters south of the station building. The inscription indicates that the king arrived here by train and then drove across the Chiemsee.
