The Schondorf (Bay) station is an operating point of the Ammerseebahn from Mering via Geltendorf to Weilheim . It is located in the Upper Bavarian municipality of Schondorf am Ammersee . Around 50 trains of the Bayerische Regiobahn (BRB) stop in Schondorf every day .
When it opened on June 30, 1898, it was the southern end point of the line coming from Mering. With the extension to Weilheim, it became a through station on December 23, 1898 . The 1898 built and 1934 reconstructed station building and goods shed are under monument protection .
location
Schondorf station is the northernmost station on the Ammersee and about 800 meters from its shore. It lies between the two districts of Oberschondorf in the west and Unterschondorf in the east, separated by the railway line . The two formerly independent communities were merged in 1970 to form Schondorf am Ammersee. The station building is to the east of the tracks on Bahnhofstrasse and has the address Bahnhofstrasse 45. Directly opposite the station building is the new Schondorf town hall, which was built in 1970 with the merger. To the north of the station there is a level crossing that connects State Road 2055 east of the tracks with State Road 2346 west of the tracks. With another level crossing at kilometer 30.18, the state road 2055, here called Uttinger Straße, crosses the route south of the train station. To the south of the reception building, a pedestrian underpass connects Bahnhofstrasse with the Ringstrasse to the west of the tracks.
The Ammerseebahn from Mering via Geltendorf to Weilheim ( VzG 5370), where the train station is located, is a single-track and non-electrified main line . The German railway leads them as timetable route 985 Augsburg -Weilheim.
history
The first plans to build a railway line from Augsburg via Mering to the west bank of the Ammersee and further in the direction of the Alps were made in the 1870s. In 1886 the planning of a local railway from Mering via Schondorf to Dießen was approved. In the autumn of 1896, the Augsburg Railway Construction Committee began building the line from Mering to Weilheim, known as the Ammerseebahn.
On June 30, 1898, the Royal Bavarian State Railways opened Schondorf station as the southern end point of the Ammerseebahn section from Mering to Schondorf. At the same time, the section from Dießen to Weilheim was put into operation. Alternatively, ships ran across the Ammersee between Schondorf and Dießen. When the gap between Schondorf and Dießen was closed on December 23, 1898, Schondorf station became a through station .
The station was given a brick-built three-storey station building with a crooked roof , to which a half-open waiting hall was attached to the south. In addition, a bricked goods shed was built in 1898. In the 1930s, the Deutsche Reichsbahn significantly redesigned the station. The station building was rebuilt in 1934, and the waiting room was also redesigned. A pedestrian underpass was built in the south of the station , which connects Oberschondorf, west of the tracks, with the station. In 1938, the Deutsche Reichsbahn relocated the technical equipment that had previously been outdoors on the platform to a signal box front building on the track side of the reception building.
In the 1980s, the Deutsche Bundesbahn equipped the southern level crossing at km 30.18 with an automatic half-barrier system and closed the associated barrier post. In 2005, Deutsche Bahn greatly simplified the track systems at Schondorf station and dismantled all the side tracks that were still there.
In 2000, the Schondorf town council decided to merge the two level crossings in the north exit of the station to form one crossing. Up to now, the level crossings were operated mechanically by the dispatcher using barrier winches, which were located in the open in front of the reception building. The DB replaced it in the summer of 2012 with a fully electronic system.
In August 2011, the community of Schondorf submitted an application to demolish the listed goods shed in order to build a bus lane there. In a referendum on May 25, 2014, the majority of Schondorfer voted for demolition. In November 2016, the Landsberg District Office finally refused the demolition, as "the goods shed is a historically and artistically important monument".
On January 11, 2013, a BRB LINT railcar derailed at the entrance to Schondorf station on the southern switch. This resulted in property damage of around 300,000 euros. The section from Schondorf to Utting was closed until January 13th.
construction
building
The Schondorf station building, which is now a listed building, was built for the opening of the station in 1898. In 1934 the Deutsche Reichsbahn completely redesigned it according to the specifications of the Heimat style . It is a three-storey traufständiges walled building with a footprint of ten to 14 meters. It originally had a hipped roof with three dormers on the track side. Later this was converted into a gable roof with a dormer on each side of the track and the road. There are cornices between the individual floors . The gable fields of the attic are clad with wood. The window frame of the gable window catches the eye with its turned middle section. On the south side of the building there is a sundial in which the year 1934, the year of the renovation, is integrated. To the south of the reception building there is a single-storey extension that includes the closed waiting room with ticket office . To the south of this there is a single-storey outbuilding that houses the station toilets. The waiting room and outbuilding are connected by a half-open waiting hall with a gable roof, which is made of an open wooden beam construction. Like the reception building, the waiting hall dates from 1898 and was rebuilt in 1934.
On the track side, the signal box front building connects to the waiting room. It was built in 1938 and replaced by a new building in the early 1990s due to its dilapidation. In the front of the signal box there is a mechanical signal box of the 1936 standard design, which still sets the points and signals in the station to this day (as of 2018). The main building of the reception building contains service rooms. The tensioning mechanisms for the switches and signals are located in the basement , the counterweights are set up on the opposite side of the track due to the low basement height.
Schondorf station is now the only station on the south branch of the Ammerseebahn that still has an accessible and heated waiting room. The last only temporarily manned ticket office was closed on May 31, 2016.
To the north of the reception building is the solid goods shed from 1898. It is a single-storey building with a gable roof, in the same design as it is in Utting and was in Geltendorf until 2005. Due to the insufficient capacity, it was extended by two wooden sheds, which were demolished again in 2005. The goods shed, which is no longer used today, is a listed building.
Track systems
Originally the train crossing station had extensive track systems. Track 2 was the continuous main track and was located on a central platform . In addition, there were a passing track (track 1), which at the main platform lay, and in the west the platform loose track 3 with a loading ramp . From track 3 a chain siding from a Leichtbauplattenwerk the company Prix. At the goods shed there was a loading track with nozzles connected in both directions to track 1 . In the post-war period, the Deutsche Bundesbahn expanded the switch on track 3 in the direction of Utting and installed a buffer stop so that the track became a dead end . In the 1980s, the DB dismantled track 3 so that it only served as a connection to the siding. The loading ramp on platform 3 was demolished. At the loading track, the connection to the north and the track connection were dismantled so that it could only be reached from the direction of Utting. In August 2005 the DB further dismantled the track system. The loading track and the siding to the Prix company were dismantled. By relocating the switches and signals, the usable track length on the main and siding was shortened by about a third.
With the continuous main track on the central platform and the siding on the main platform, the station still has two tracks. The central platform is connected to the main platform via a level crossing. Because of their low height of 22 cm, the platforms are not barrier-free . The station still has form signals that are controlled by a mechanical signal box.
| track | Usable length | Platform height | use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 111 m | 16 cm | individual trains in the morning rush hour |
| 2 | 196 m | 16 cm | Trains in the direction of Geltendorf and Weilheim |
traffic
passenger traffic
From December 24, 1898, continuous passenger trains between Mering and Weilheim stopped at Schondorf station. From the elevation of the Ammerseebahn to the main line in 1913, express trains also served the Schondorf station. In 1914, for example, five passenger trains stopped daily from Augsburg to Weilheim, one from Geltendorf to Weilheim and one express train from Augsburg to Garmisch-Partenkirchen . With the increase in traffic in the 1930s, the Deutsche Reichsbahn increased the number of trains. In 1934 eight regional trains ran on the route, five of which were passenger trains and three express trains. During the Second World War and the post-war period, the volume of traffic fell sharply, and the express trains disappeared completely in 1943.
It wasn't until the 1950s that express trains started running again on the Ammerseebahn. In 1955, nine passenger trains from Augsburg to Weilheim, one from Geltendorf to Weilheim and two express trains from Augsburg to Garmisch-Partenkirchen stopped in Schondorf. On weekends, the DB used an additional bathing train from Augsburg to Dießen for excursions to the Ammersee. The importance of the station in excursion traffic, however, remained behind the stations of Utting , Riederau and Dießen due to the great distance to the Ammerseeufer . In the years that followed, the number of trains remained largely constant, commuting between 11 and 13. As a result of rationalization measures, the DB replaced many local trains with express trains in the 1980s . In 1990 the station was served by four local trains and eight express trains. With the Werdenfels cycle , Deutsche Bahn introduced the hourly cycle on the Ammerseebahn for the 1995 summer timetable .
Since December 14, 2008, trains of the Bavarian Regiobahn (BRB) have been running every hour from Augsburg-Oberhausen to Schongau , which are driven by LINT 41 diesel multiple units . During rush hour, the BRB uses additional repeater trains from Geltendorf to Peißenberg every hour, which run every half hour on this section.
Freight transport
In freight transport, mainly agricultural products and cattle were loaded at the loading ramp. Until the 1960s, the DB served the station in local freight traffic with a "collector" who delivered or picked up cars at all stations along the route. Until the 1980s, there were still individual handover trips from Geltendorf to Schondorf. In 1985, the DB brought five wagons to Schondorf every month. From the 1960s onwards, the block trains to the Prix lightweight panel plant, which ran over the siding branching off in Schondorf until the beginning of the 1990s, represented the largest part of Schondorf's goods volume. In 2005, loading and siding were dismantled. Today there is no longer any freight traffic at Schondorf station.
