Former breakpoint Schwabisch Gmund South (until 1934 Gmünd South ; colloquially South Station ) is a cultural monument in Schwabisch Gmund . It is located on the route of the disused Hohenstaufen Railway, which is now used as a cycle path .
history
After the Hohenstaufenbahn between Schwäbisch Gmünd and Göppingen was released for construction in 1905, the general management of the Royal Württemberg State Railways under construction adviser Korherr created the plans for all stations on the route. Before the line opened in 1911, the stop was completed in 1909. It was designed for a large number of people to accommodate the commuters from the local silverware factories.
It is designed with a single-storey reception building with a warehouse , waiting room and counter as well as a two-storey service housing building attached to the east . A four-bay veranda has been added to the former side of the track, originally to protect the waiting passengers. A toilet was built to the west. Art Nouveau style elements can be seen on the building .
After the line was closed in 1984, the tracks were dismantled in 1986/87 and then replaced by a cycle path. In 1989 the Südbahnhof was restored and has since been used by a restaurant of the same name . The catering business is now closed and the house is used purely for private purposes.
