The Schaffhausen train station is next to the Herblingen stop the larger of the two train stations in the Swiss city ​​of Schaffhausen . According to the entry in the land register, 65 percent of it belongs to the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) and 35 percent to Deutsche Bahn (DB). It is served by the owners' trains, but also by Thurbo trains, and serves as a border station between Switzerland and Germany .

history

opening

The Schaffhausen train station went into operation on April 16, 1857. On this day, the Swiss Northeast Railway (NOB) opened the Rhine Falls Railway via Andelfingen to Winterthur . The Rheinfallbahn was taken over by the NOB a few months before it opened on November 4, 1856. It set up rail connections beyond Winterthur to Zurich and Brugg and Romanshorn .

The terminus in Schaffhausen was at its current location, but at that time it was only a temporary solution, as a solid dispute about the location of the station had broken out between the NOB and the initiator of the Rheinfallbahn, Heinrich Moser : The NOB insisted on its current location while Moser campaigned for a train station on the banks of the Rhine.

Baden State Railways

On June 15, 1863, the Schaffhausen station was connected to cross-border traffic when the Baden State Railways opened the last stage of the Hochrheinbahn between Waldshut and Konstanz in 1863 . The Waldshut – Basel Badischer Bahnhof section went into operation as early as 1856. Schaffhausen was later also connected to Stuttgart via the Hochrheinbahn, Schwarzwaldbahn and Gäubahn .

Sea line to Constance

On November 1, 1894, the NOB opened the Feuerthalen - Etzwilen section, a section of today's lake line via Kreuzlingen and Constance to Rorschach. The short section over the Rhine bridge in Feuerthalen and the Emmersberg tunnel had not yet been completed because the construction of the Emmersberg tunnel was delayed due to a diaphragm . This remaining section was put into operation on April 2, 1895. Together with the Etzwilen – Konstanz line , which had already been opened to traffic by the Swiss National Railway (SNB) in 1875 , there was now a continuous connection to Konstanz. The lake line joins the train station from the north parallel to the Hochrheinbahn coming from Singen .

Route to Bülach

Although the Rheinfallbahn was seen as the Swiss continued to DB line from singing, she never attained international significance, because 1897 was the Eglisau-Neuhausen railway line , a rail link, which in Eglisau to the railway line Winterthur-Bülach-Koblenz and then in Bülach to the Bülach-Regensberg-Bahn connected and represented a much faster direct connection to Zurich ( Zurich main station ) and the Gotthard Railway . Most of the cross-border rail traffic rolled through Bülach, while the line through the wine country mostly only gained importance in local traffic.

Station expansion

The growing freight traffic required a major extension of the station in 1895/96. The station was given its shape, which was only adapted to the new needs in the 1950s / 1960s.

Trams

In 1901 the Schaffhausen tram was opened. It led to Neuhausen am Rheinfall and was supplemented in 1905 by the overland tram to Schleitheim . In 1964 the line to Schleitheim was shut down, in 1966 the one to Neuhausen, which served as the basis of today's trolleybus network .

Bombing on April 1st, 1944

The city of Schaffhausen was bombed by American planes on April 1, 1944 . A direct hit hit the south wing of the station building and destroyed the station and dispatch office with the ticket counter. 18 people died in and around the train station. Numerous people were also seriously injured. The damaged south wing was rebuilt in 1945/46 according to a project by architect Walter Henne.

From 1950

Since 1866 a passerelle in the axis of the Löwengässchen led over the tracks. In 1956 it was replaced by an underpass . In 1963, construction of the Herblingertal marshalling yard began north of the station .

In the 1990s , Schaffhausen was the stop on the InterCity line Nürnberg Hbf / Stuttgart Hbf– Milano Centrale , which was gradually discontinued until 2006.

At the end of the 20th century , the narrow south underpass was enlarged to make it accessible to the disabled. Some of the rooms in the station building were no longer needed by the railway companies. Shops were set up there.

Between 1999 and 2008, Cisalpino AG also operated the station, until 2006 with cross-border connections between Stuttgart and Milan , then with a daily pair of trains to Trieste Centrale . At the same time, ICE connections with ICE T tilting trains were introduced between Stuttgart and Zurich, which initially ran on the Rheinfallbahn to also serve Winterthur, but were then merged with the Cisalpino trains to form a new ICE route Stuttgart – Zurich via Bülach .

At the end of March 2010, the ICE trains were replaced by SBB Eurocity cars because the ICE-T suffered from axle problems. The travel time was only slightly longer due to the change of locomotive in Singen. Since then, the trains have been running as InterCitys. The pair of trains extended daily to Frankfurt am Main was retained. A switch back to ICE-T is planned as soon as they are allowed to travel at an arc speed again.

When Switzerland joined the Schengen area in 2008, the border between Switzerland and Germany lost its importance and the customs crossing at the train station was abolished, but the border guard remained and customs controls continue to be carried out on the trains.

From 2010

ZEB node system

After the station building, the counter systems, the underpasses and platforms have been renovated and renewed in recent years, an expansion of capacity is planned for the next few years. As part of the federal law on the connection of Eastern and Western Switzerland to the European high-speed rail network HGV , the Eglisau – Neuhausen railway was partially expanded to two tracks. This enabled the introduction of the half-hourly express train connection to Zurich from December 2012.

Long-distance trains from 2012
  • IR / IC Zurich HB – Schaffhausen every hour, without intermediate stops; every two hours as an IC to Stuttgart; Connection of the IR to Bern
  • RE Zurich HB – Schaffhausen every hour, shifted every half hour to IR / IC, with stops in Zurich Oerlikon and Bülach

The follow-up program to Bahn 2000 , the so-called “Future Development of the ZEB Railway Infrastructure” , envisages the Schaffhausen station as a hub . After opening of the new diameter line in the main station Zurich in 2015, the trains from Schaffhausen majority to X.15 and X.45 clock watch. This enables lean connections in Winterthur HB and Zurich HB . In addition, the installation of additional points and signals in the Neuhausen am Rheinfall and Schaffhausen stations enables faster train routing. The work should take place in 2014/15.

The fourth partial expansion of the Zurich S-Bahn , which is to be implemented by 2018, also brings changes and improvements for the Schaffhausen station.

As part of the Federal Agglomerationsgrogramms is to train Schaffhausen the railway improve within the canton and example for communities Thayngen and Neunkirch bring the quarter hour to Schaffhausen. In addition, diameter lines are to be created, for example the lake line from Stein am Rhein is to be linked with the Hochrheinbahn to the border in Erzingen . The cost of expanding the Schaffhausen station as part of the Schaffhausen S-Bahn totaled 9.7 million francs. The federal agglomeration program will cover CHF 3.47 million of this. The canton and the city of Schaffhausen each take over half of the remaining amount in co-financing. Among other things, the expansion provides for the creation of a sixth platform along Spitalstrasse, which was put into operation in December 2012. On September 25, 2011, the electorate of the canton of Schaffhausen approved the credit line for the Schaffhausen S-Bahn with a yes share of 76 percent.

Worth mentioning

In addition to a k kiosk , a pharmacy , a pastry shop and a convenience shop, there is a Burger King, a Pretzel King and an SBB travel center in the station.

The station is located entirely on Swiss territory, but 35% is operated by Deutsche Bahn . The property and network border between DB and SBB is just before the train station.

Trivia

The German Emperor Wilhelm II paid a major state visit to Switzerland in September 1912. He spent the last night before his return trip in Schaffhausen. His court train arrived at Schaffhausen station on September 7, 1912 at 2.15 a.m. and was parked on platform 5. At the time, it was common for crowned heads to spend the night on their train in a train station. The train was closely guarded by the army and the canton police. At 7.50 a.m., the imperial court train left Switzerland for Constance.
