history
Planning and construction
When the engineers Charles Vignoles and Karl Etzel were concerned with the course of the future railway from Stuttgart to the Baden border, Großsachsenheim was initially disregarded. Crossing the Enz was considered problematic . Vignoles suggested bridging it at the Bissinger sawmill in order to get to Kleinglattbach . Etzel, on the other hand, came up with the idea in July 1845 that the western line should only branch off from the northern line in Bietigheim . He planned a viaduct at the narrowest point of the Enz valley, over which the railway line reached the ridge above the Metter . The city of Großsachsenheim and the villages of Kleinsachsenheim and Metterzimmer thus also benefited from the railway.
The mayor's office immediately expressed its negative opinion about the construction work for the new means of transport, as the transport of the building materials severely damaged the roads. The cost of restoration was charged to the city treasury.
State Railroad Time
On October 1, 1853, the Royal Württemberg State Railroad opened the Bietigheim– Bruchsal line and the Großsachsenheim stop , which was in the immediate vicinity of the city. A special feature of the Württemberg part of the Westbahn that only appeared here and in Illingen . The other stations were mostly kilometers away from the settlements. The two-storey entrance building made of sandstone has been preserved. Between 1859 and 1862 the Westbahn from Bietigheim to Mühlacker received a second track.
For unknown reasons, the Orient Express derailed on February 27, 1893 after it had rushed through the Großsachsenheim train station in the direction of Stuttgart . The locomotive and baggage car overturned. The engine driver suffered minor injuries. Many onlookers came to the scene of the accident. For the just 13 travelers, an involuntary stay in Großsachsenheim was on the agenda. After an hour and a half, they were able to continue their journey with a replacement train . The Großsachsenheim – Bietigheim section was completely closed for twelve hours.
As an expansion measure, the reception building received a one-story extension on the western side in the 1890s. The ticket office was located there.
On November 14, 1914, the state railway completed another renovation. The station received a large central platform and a third track. A one-story annex was built to the west of the reception building. The access to the platform underpass was created between this and the station building. In contrast to the roof structures made of steel, which were more common at the time, almost exclusively wood was used in Großsachsenheim, which is easy to recognize from the elaborate timber frame on the roof of the central platform. In 1918 the state railroad laid a fourth track for passing trains.
Reichsbahn time
The large industrial settlement was limited. The city tried to sell the area east of the train station. A cigar factory stood there until a fire broke out. In 1935, Gottlob Spiess and Friedrich Kienle acquired the site and founded a stamping plant that was connected to a siding .
During the Second World War was southeast of the city, on the road to Oberriexingen , an air base . The Wehrmacht used the station to supply material, vehicles and personnel .
Federal Railroad Time
On October 6, 1951, the Deutsche Bundesbahn began operating electric trains on the Bietigheim – Mühlacker section and integrated it into the Stuttgart suburban traffic .
In the course of the administrative reform, the community of Kleinsachsenheim agreed to be incorporated into Großsachsenheim on December 1, 1971. For this reason, the city was renamed Sachsenheim on November 24, 1971 . The Federal Railroad continued to run the station under the old name until it changed the name to Sachsenheim on June 1, 1975 .
Rail operations
Regional trains and Karlsruhe city railways serve the station . Trains no longer stop on platform 1, on the former house platform . The track is used exclusively by freight trains in the direction of Bietigheim. The trains in the direction of Bietigheim stop on track 2, and on track 3 in the direction of Vaihingen (Enz). The platform-free platform 4 is available to trains passing through to Vaihingen (Enz).
