The Rottendorf station is the station of the Lower Franconian community Rottendorf near Würzburg . The railway line Nuremberg – Würzburg and the railway line Bamberg – Rottendorf merge at Rottendorf station .

history

After the two sections Bamberg - Haßfurt (August 1) and Haßfurt– Schweinfurt (November 3) of the Ludwigs-Westbahn had already been opened in 1852 , the line with the Schweinfurt– Würzburg section was extended on July 1, 1854 opened. Rottendorf received a train station on this last section of the route.

One year after the opening of the station Rottendorf was the by architect Gottfried von Neureuther designed station building completed.

In 1865, almost ten years after the completion of the Bamberg – Schweinfurt – Würzburg railway, the "Bahn-Querspange" Würzburg – Kitzingen - Nuremberg was opened , which today represents the fastest connection between Würzburg and Nuremberg. As a result, the Rottendorf station became a separation station . In the course of the following decades the station was expanded to seven continuous tracks.

Before the completion of the direct railway line Nuremberg – Würzburg via Kitzingen , Neustadt an der Aisch and Fürth , which could not be realized because of the difficult terrain in the Steigerwald area , the eastern part of the Ludwigs-Westbahn was of great importance in east-west long-distance traffic . After the direct route from Nuremberg to Würzburg was built in 1865, the Bamberg – Schweinfurt route lost its long-distance traffic. Until the division of Germany in 1945, the Rottendorf – Schweinfurt section was still used by long-distance trains to Thuringia and Saxony .

On July 1, 1886, there was a serious head-on collision between two trains between Würzburg and Rottendorf, killing 16 people.

Between 1905 and 1908, the Bamberg – Rottendorf line was expanded to double tracks due to the increased volume of traffic.

During the Second World War , an anti-aircraft gun was installed in the eastern area of ​​the station until 1943 to protect the station and the town.

On October 2, 1954, the electrification of the Nuremberg – Würzburg line went into operation. The Bamberg – Rottendorf line followed in 1971 and 1972.

Until the 1970s, Rottendorf was a loading station for agricultural and commercial goods. Since then, the station has only been used for passenger traffic .

The Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan of 1973 provided for an upgraded line between Würzburg and Nuremberg, with continuation to Augsburg. These expansions, which entailed a three-track expansion of the Würzburg – Rottendorf section, were built between 1976 and 1999.

Due to the increased need for personnel, there were gainful employment and employment opportunities in the area of ​​the train station and the railway for many citizens of Rottendorf until the 20th century. As a result, Rottendorf developed into a " railway village ".

Track and platform systems

Rottendorf station has a total of seven continuous tracks , five of which have a platform . Track 1 on the house platform and track 2 on the first central platform serve the trains that run on the Bamberg – Rottendorf railway line. Track 3 serves as a sideline for both railway lines. Track 4 has no platform and is used by goods and long-distance trains to pass through. In the direction of Würzburg, track 4 branches off to track 3 in the station area. On track 5, which shares the outer of the two central platforms with track 6, the regional trains from the direction of Nuremberg stop to continue to Würzburg . Platform 6 is used by trains in the direction of Kitzingen - Neustadt (Aisch) - Nuremberg. The slightly lower platform 7 is used by freight and long-distance trains on the Würzburg – Nuremberg route.
