The Schongau railway station is the station of the Upper Bavarian town of Schongau . In the through station , the Landsberg am Lech – Schongau line meets the Schongau – Peißenberg line . In addition, the Schongau station was the end of a railway line from Kaufbeuren, which is now closed . The station has three platform tracks on two intermediate platforms . It belongs to station category 5 of DB Station & Service and is served by around 20 regional trains of the Bavarian Regiobahn (BRB) every day.

Schongau station was put into operation in 1886 by the Royal Bavarian State Railways as the terminus on the line from Landsberg am Lech . With the opening of the line to Peißenberg in 1917, the station became a through station, after the completion of the line from Kaufbeuren in 1923 it became a separation station . In 1972 the German Federal Railroad stopped passenger traffic to Kaufbeuren, and the route to Altenstadt was still open for goods traffic until 1992. This was followed in 1984 by the suspension of passenger traffic from Landsberg to Schongau. From 1921 to 1984 there was a depot in Schongau with a twelve-hour roundhouse .

location

Bahnhofstrasse

Schongau train station is located east of Schongau city center, about 250 meters from the city center. The station building is to the west of the tracks and has the address Bahnhofstrasse 17. The station area is bordered to the west by Bahnhofstrasse and Hermann-Ranz-Strasse and to the east by Perlachstrasse and Helgolandweg. To the north of the station there is an industrial park, to the east and west of the tracks are residential areas. At the southern exit of the station, Staatsstraße 2014 and Bahnhofstraße cross the line with level crossings . To the south of the station, the route leads on a bridge over the Lech .

Three single-track, non-electrified branch lines met at Schongau station, two of which are still in operation today. On the Landsberg am Lech – Schongau railway line ( VzG 5365), which is known as the Fuchstalbahn , there is no longer any regular passenger traffic. It is served by the Augsburg Local Railway for goods traffic and used for special trips. The route from Schongau to Peißenberg (VzG 5444), also known as the Pfaffenwinkelbahn , is served in regional traffic by the Bavarian Regiobahn. The Kaufbeuren – Schongau line (VzG 5443), called the Sachsenrieder Bähnle , served regional and freight traffic until 1972. The last section from Schongau to Altenstadt was used by freight traffic until 1992.

In Schongau, the following course book sections meet or have met :

  • KBS 962 : Weilheim – Peißenberg – Schongau
  • KBS 966: Kaufbeuren – Schongau (until 1972)
  • KBS 982: Landsberg (Lech) –Schongau (until 1984)

history

From 1880 the city of Schongau campaigned for a rail link from Landsberg am Lech to Schongau. On April 21, 1884, the Bavarian state government decided to build a local railway on this line, which was to connect to the line to Kaufering and Augsburg at Landsberg station . Construction of the line began in 1885. The location of the Schongau train station was controversial. While the city of Schongau advocated a location north of the city, the Royal Bavarian Transport Authority wanted to build the train station east of the city on the Lechanger . Due to the lower costs, the location on the Lechanger was decided. To do this, a new road had to be laid from the northern city exit to the train station 40 meters below. The land required for the station was purchased for 68,333  marks , of which the city of Schongau contributed 30,416 marks. The Landsberg Ironworks Section was responsible for the work at the station. The first test drive from Landsberg to Schongau took place on September 25, 1886.

On November 16, 1886, the station was officially opened by the Royal Bavarian State Railways as the terminus of the Landsberg – Schongau local line. At the station there were three main tracks with two bulk platforms, in the south there was a goods shed with scales , and in the north there was another outbuilding. A locomotive station with a two-tier locomotive shed was housed in the southern station area. The three-storey reception building was not yet completed at the time of opening and was not put into operation until April 1889. A station restoration was carried out opposite the station building.

Around 1891 it was planned to connect Lechbruck , located southwest of Schongau, with Schongau via an extension of the Fuchstalbahn. However, this project did not come to fruition, and the Marktoberdorf – Lechbruck line was built instead .

Building of the railway maintenance office operated from 1912–1977 from the track side, March 2014

On February 14, 1910, the construction of a connecting line between the line from Weilheim to Peißenberg, which had existed since 1866, and Schongau station was approved. In the same year, construction work began south of the station on the bridge over the Lech, which was completed in December 1912. Since the railway line to Peißenberg was not yet completed, the bridge was initially only used to connect the new siding to the Haindl paper mill (now a UPM-Kymmene plant ). As a result, raw materials and paper could now be transported from the factory directly via Schongau station and the Fuchstalbahn. In 1912 a railway maintenance office was set up in Schongau . On January 10, 1917, the local railway from Peißenberg over the Lech Bridge to Schongau was opened, making Schongau station a through station. Since the importance of the station increased significantly with the opening of the new line, the Bavarian State Railways expanded the track system. They built a third platform for the additional passenger trains from Weilheim and Peißenberg. In 1919, construction began on a local railway, approved in 1909, from Schongau through the Sachsenrieder forest to Kaufbeuren station on the Bavarian Allgäu Railway . In 1921 a depot was built north of the station with a twelve-hour roundhouse and a turntable . On February 17, 1923, the Deutsche Reichsbahn opened the route to Kaufbeuren, also known as the Sachsenrieder Bähnle , which turned Schongau station into a separation station. The track systems were expanded again for this.

Since there were now 30 turnouts at the beginning of the 1930s, the Deutsche Reichsbahn put a mechanical signal box into operation. At the end of the 1950s, the platforms were modernized. From 1957 to 1959, the Deutsche Bundesbahn fundamentally rebuilt the dilapidated station building and expanded it to the south with an extension with an interlocking front. Because of the large number of freight and passenger trains, the DB opened a second mechanical interlocking at the northern exit of the station in 1959.

With the closure of the Peiting mine in 1968, freight traffic in Schongau decreased. On October 1, 1972, the German Federal Railroad suspended passenger traffic between Schongau and Kaufbeuren due to falling passenger numbers. On December 31, 1972, freight traffic between Altenstadt and Kaufbeuren was also discontinued and the line closed. There was only a minor freight traffic left on the section from Schongau to Altenstadt . Since this significantly reduced shunting activities in the station, part of the freight and shunting tracks in the eastern area of ​​the station was dismantled. In 1977 the railway maintenance office, which had existed since 1912, was dissolved, which was last responsible on the Landsberg – Schongau line to Denklingen and on the Schongau – Peißenberg line to Hohenpeißenberg . In 1983 (on the occasion of a new construction of a road bridge over the line at Schongauer Krankenhausberg) the track north of the station for a length of 1.5 kilometers parallel to the line from Landsberg was dismantled to Altenstadt and instead at the junction of the two lines with a new switch directly in the Landsberg – Schongau line introduced. In 1984 the Deutsche Bundesbahn also stopped passenger services between Landsberg and Schongau. Since then, only freight traffic has taken place on the route. The Schongau depot was no longer needed and was shut down in 1984. In 1992 and 1993 a new travel center with a ticket office was built in the reception building . In 1998 the building was rebuilt again so that there are now two ticket offices.

The goods shed is owned by the city of Schongau. At the end of 2014, the demolition of the goods shed was planned to use the area for parking spaces. This project has not yet been implemented (as of August 2020) and is not included in the parking space concept of the city of Schongau that was discussed in April 2016, but is still under discussion as of December 2017. The establishment of a green area in the area of ​​the goods shed is also being considered. In January 2018, the tree cover was removed from the affected area.

On May 17, 2016, Deutsche Bahn put a video travel center into operation at Schongau station , where tickets are sold via machines with video contact options to an adviser at another location. Ticket sales by a person present at the station in the previous travel center were discontinued at the same time.

Deutsche Bahn's plans for barrier-free track access, which became known at the beginning of 2017, were initially controversial, but the renovation will be implemented from June to September 2020 at a cost of 3.2 million euros.

The first station building at Schongau station was opened in April 1889. It was a three-storey brick building with an eaves saddle roof , which was provided with a one-storey dwarf house on the track and street side . The stairwell was housed in a semicircular extension on the north side. On the ground floor of the building there were service rooms, a waiting room for the third and one for the first and second class, and the apartments for the railway staff on the first and second floors. A wooden canopy was attached along the entire length of the track. At the beginning of the 1930s, the station building was given a small single-storey extension on the south side. The building, which was no longer sufficient for the high volume of traffic, could not be renewed due to a lack of financial resources and was only changed temporarily.

In 1957, the German Federal Railroad replaced the previous small extension on the south side with an elongated building with a flat sheet metal gable roof, which was equipped with social rooms and a signal box. In 1959 the dilapidated and too small old main building was extensively rebuilt and expanded. The semicircular staircase extension on the north side was demolished and the building was extended to the north. The dormitories were removed and the building was given a continuous, tile-covered gable roof. The single-storey signal box extension from the 1930s was retained in its previous form. In addition to service rooms on the ground floor, the building contained a waiting room with a ticket office . In 1992 and 1993 the building was rebuilt and equipped with a new travel center , which has had two ticket offices since 1998.

As of January 2008, the building was owned by Patron Capital , a London- based real estate investor group, which had acquired the building from Deutsche Bahn along with 131 other Bavarian station buildings . The city of Schongau tried to acquire the building itself or a local investor in order to renovate it together with its surroundings. At the beginning of May 2014 it was acquired by Bürgerbahnhof Oberland GmbH & Co. KG, who want to transform the building into a citizens' station based on the model used in Landsberg and Murnau .

At the opening, there were three main tracks in Schongau with two bulk platforms, which were designed as house and intermediate platforms . In addition, there was a stump track in the north and south for loading goods, one of which was on the loading ramp . Two butt tracks at the southern head of the station led into the two-tier locomotive shed of the locomotive station. The station had a total of seven points. For the additional traffic on the route to Peißenberg, the Bavarian State Railways expanded the tracks in 1917 and built another intermediate platform. In the north of the station, the tracks to the new depot were connected in 1921 and the shed tracks of the previous locomotive station were dismantled. For the line to Kaufbeuren, which went into operation in 1923, the track system was enlarged again and a third intermediate platform was built, so that there were now four platform tracks. At the beginning of the 1930s, 30 points were operated in the station. At the end of the 1930s, the Deutsche Reichsbahn renewed and fortified the platforms that had previously been Schüttbahnsteige.

The railway station's track system kept its large size until the end of the 1960s. In 1962, in addition to the four platform tracks in the eastern area of ​​the station, there were four other main tracks without a platform and four stub tracks for freight and shunting traffic. To the south of the reception building there were two more butt tracks at the goods shed. In the northern area of ​​the station, to the west of the platforms, there was one loading track on both sides and two on one side from the north on the loading road . At signal box I, the track to the depot branched off in the northern head of the station. Due to the decline in freight traffic from 1968 onwards, some of the freight tracks could be shut down in the following years. Since the 1970s, one platform track, the two tracks on the goods shed, the four butt tracks in the eastern area of ​​the station and the tracks of the depot and some other switches have been shut down and partially dismantled.

Schongau station now has three platform tracks with the numbers 2, 3 and 4, which are located on two intermediate platforms, with track 3 on both of these platforms. The track bed deepening of track 1, which had been abandoned for a long time, was filled in in May 2015. The two front tracks 2 and 3 used for passenger traffic are now butt tracks due to the closure of the northern points , which can only be used from the direction of Weilheim. Track 4 is continuous and can therefore still be used for special trips on the Landsberg – Schongau route. Today there are still four continuous tracks for freight traffic. To the north of the reception building there are three more butt tracks, to which the loading road connects. The entrance to the trains is not barrier-free , the platforms can be reached via a level crossing.

Signal boxes and signal systems

In the early years, the points of the station were set on site by point attendants . With the increasing number of points and signals, a mechanical signal box of the standard design was created in the newly built extension of the reception building in the early 1930s . In 1959, the Deutsche Bundesbahn put a second mechanical interlocking of the standard design into operation at the north end of the station west of the tracks, which is housed in a single-storey building with a hipped roof . The previous signal box became Signal Box II ( Sf ) and became the command signal box , which is responsible for the southern station area. The new signal box is, as signal box I, the guard signal box and controls the northern area of ​​the station.

The station is equipped with form signals . There is a group exit signal at the north and south exits of the station , the individual tracks are only secured with blocking signals . There are no entry pre- signals .

Depot

When it opened in 1886, a locomotive station was set up at Schongau station south of the reception building , which was subordinate to the Kempten depot . It consisted of a two-room engine shed and a workshop. The locomotive station was responsible for supplying the steam locomotives of the classes D IV and D VI that were used on the Fuchstalbahn.

With the opening of the Schongau – Peißenberg railway in 1917, the importance of the locomotive station increased significantly. Therefore, the locomotive station became its own depot in 1920 . In 1921 the Deutsche Reichsbahn completely redesigned the depot. In the northern area of ​​the station, to the west of the tracks, she built a twelve-long roundhouse and a turntable with a diameter of ten meters in front of the locomotive shed . In addition, an administration and social building with overnight rooms, a coaling plant and a workshop building were built. The old systems of the locomotive station were demolished. In the depot only were tank locomotives of the series 98.4-5 home, so the scales tracks a length of twelve meters was sufficient. To accommodate longer locomotives, four shed tracks were extended in the 1930s and a new turntable with a diameter of 20.5 meters was installed. This meant that the series 64 and 86 could also be placed in the Schongau depot. In 1950, 18 tank locomotives of the 98.4-5 and 86 series were stationed in Schongau and up to 140 railway workers were employed in the depot.

From the 1950s the steam locomotives on the routes around Schongau were increasingly replaced by Uerdingen rail buses and from the 1960s by diesel locomotives of the V 100 series and accumulator railcars of the ETA 150 series . From 1955 rail buses were also located in Schongau. Therefore, from the mid-1950s, fuel tanks and a filling station to supply diesel vehicles as well as a charging point for accumulator railcars were built. In the 1960s, diesel shunting locomotives of the V 60 and Köf II series were stationed in Schongau. Due to the decline in steam operation, the importance of the railway depot decreased. On January 1, 1966, it was dissolved as an independent department and became a branch of the Augsburg depot . At the beginning of 1975 there were still 32 railway employees at the Schongau depot who were responsible for minor repairs and the transport service. In 1984 the DB shut down the depot. At the end of the 1980s, the tracks and supply systems were dismantled and the building with the roundhouse and turntable demolished in 1997.

As a special feature, a siding to the Ranz leather factory began in the Schongau depot in the 1930s. The siding began on the coal wagon track and led to a segment turntable that covered a segment of a circle of around 90 degrees. A shunting locomotive transported the freight car from the depot to the segment turntable, from where it was pushed to the factory with muscle power. The connection was used regularly until the 1960s. In 1971 the factory and siding were shut down and the segment turntable dismantled at the end of the 1980s.

From 1886 Schongau was the end point of the passenger trains from Landsberg. In the opening year, three trains ran daily from Landsberg to Schongau, two of which served all stations on the route, while the third ran as an express train between Landsberg and Schongau without stopping. After the line to Peißenberg opened in 1917, almost all passenger trains from Landsberg and Weilheim continued to end in Schongau, so that there had to be changed trains. In 1923 the Sachsenrieder Bähnle was put into operation, which was used for passenger transport especially for excursions into the Sachsenrieder forest. From 1923 onwards, some passenger trains from Weilheim via Schongau to Sachsenried and Kaufbeuren were tied through, while the trains from Landsberg and Augsburg continued to end in Schongau. In 1959, 20 passenger trains ran from and to Kaufbeuren on weekdays, eight between Schongau and Landsberg and 18 from and to Weilheim. On October 1, 1972, the German Federal Railroad stopped passenger traffic to Kaufbeuren and in 1984 passenger traffic to Landsberg. In 1985, nine local trains ran between Weilheim and Schongau on weekdays.

Today only the Schongau – Peißenberg railway line is used for passenger transport. Schongau station has been served by the private Bavarian Regiobahn (BRB), a subsidiary of Veolia Verkehr , since December 14, 2008 in regional traffic. The trains of the BRB take DMUs of type LINT 41 in every hour of Augsburg on the Ammersee Railway and the Pfaffenwinkel train to Schongau.

Freight transport

Freight train of the Augsburg Local Railway and parked freight cars

Shortly after the opening in 1889, a wood pulp mill of Haindl Papier (today a UPM-Kymmene plant) was opened south of the Schongau train station on the other side of the Lech . Raw materials and paper were transported by carts between the train station and the factory, which resulted in a high volume of goods at Schongau train station. After the completion of the bridge over the Lech, the paper mill got its own siding in 1912. This enabled the factory to load its goods directly onto the freight trains in the direction of Landsberg and Augsburg , and there was no need for carts. With the opening of the line to Peißenberg in 1917 and the line to Kaufbeuren in 1923, freight traffic in Schongau rose sharply. Coal trains from the Peiting mine via Kaufbeuren into the Allgäu and via Landsberg to Augsburg now run at Schongau station . On the Sachsenrieder Bähnle , timber was also transported from the Sachsenrieder forest to Schongau.

Even after the Second World War , the volume of goods initially remained high. In 1959, four freight trains ran on weekdays to and from Kaufbeuren, four to and from Landsberg and ten to and from Peiting and Peißenberg. The closure of the Peiting mine in 1968 led to a sharp decline in freight traffic. On December 31, 1972, the DB stopped freight traffic on the Kaufbeuren route between Altenstadt and Kaufbeuren. Only a few freight trains remained between Schongau and Altenstadt. Since no more freight wagons from Peiting had to be moved in the direction of Landsberg and Kaufbeuren, there was also a significant decline in shunting activities. In 1976 the Deutsche Bundesbahn gave up general cargo traffic and in the 1980s it gave up wagonload traffic in Schongau. In 1992 the last freight trains between Schongau and Altenstadt were stopped.

Today in Schongau only the rail connection to the UPM-Kymmene paper mill is served as planned. Several times a week a freight train of the Augsburg local railway runs from Schongau via Landsberg and Kaufering station , where some of the wagons are handed over to DB Cargo , to Augsburg . There is currently no freight traffic on the Schongau – Peißenberg railway line. The last siding on the line to the Peiting industrial park served from Schongau was shut down in 2005. Before that there were handover trips by the Augsburg local railway from Schongau to Peiting. If the route between Landsberg and Schongau is closed, the route via Peißenberg to Weilheim, together with the Ammerseebahn, can serve as a diversion route.
