The Schweinfurt Sennfeld train station (also: Sennfelder Bahnhof ) is a train station in Schweinfurt on the Kitzingen – Schweinfurt railway line . It is one of a total of four train stations or train stops in the city and the penultimate station on the line that ends at Schweinfurt Central Station . The Schweinfurt Sennfeld train station was served by regional passenger traffic until 1987 , after which freight traffic continued until 2007 . A reactivation of passenger traffic on the Kitzingen – Schweinfurt railway line is currently (2020) being discussed. The station belonged to the Nuremberg Railway Directorate.

The Sennfelder Bahnhof is in the Hafen-Ost district , south of the Main , opposite the city center , at the driveway to the Ludwigsbrücke . The edge of the old town ( Georg Schäfer Museum ) can be reached on foot (650 meters) in just under 10 minutes via the Mainbrücken, which is why the station was also used by commuters until 1987.

Immediately to the east of the Sennfeld train station, the border between the independent city of Schweinfurt and the district of Schweinfurt or the municipality of Sennfeld runs across the track in the direction of Kitzingen . The distance to the center of Sennfeld (map) is 1.7 km. The train station was created at this point to enable travelers from the direction of Kitzingen to get off here, as the Sennfeld train station is much closer to the city center than the main train station that follows.

history

The Sennfelder Bahnhof was opened on November 23, 1903, together with the second section of the Kitzingen – Schweinfurt railway from Gerolzhofen to Schweinfurt Hauptbahnhof.

During the flood disaster in 1909, the substructure of the railway line between Sennfelder Bahnhof and Gochsheimer Höhe in Sennfeld was so badly undermined that rail traffic was stopped here and passengers were transported to the Sennfelder Bahnhof by barge.

On April 11, 1945, the Gerolzhöfer Bridge over the Main in Schweinfurt was blown up by the Wehrmacht . Until a temporary bridge was built in 1946, the Sennfeld station was the terminus of the Kitzingen – Schweinfurt railway line.

Passenger traffic on the Gerolzhofen – Schweinfurt railway line and thus also at Sennfeld station was stopped on May 30, 1987. The service of the goods connection to the BayWa warehouse immediately south of the train station was discontinued in 2001, as was the connection to the large, east-facing company premises of Alba Metall Süd Franken GmbH (Franken Rohstoffe) . The station area has been fallow ever since.

After some renovations, the reception building has since housed a Greek restaurant.

Projects

Three projects are currently (2020) planned or considered, in the implementation of which the station and its surroundings would be completely redesigned.

Reactivation of the Steigerwaldbahn?

A project is currently being discussed, which the incumbent Mayor Sebastian Remelé also endorsed at the beginning of 2020 and which would result in a reactivation of passenger traffic at Sennfeld station and a complete renovation of the station. In August 2019, a new concept for the long-discussed reactivation of the Kitzingen – Schweinfurt (Steigerwaldbahn) railway line was presented to the public by the transport planner Robert Wittek-Brix, in the form of a regional tram . As an integral train, it would be split from Kitzingen at the Sennfeld train station. One branch would, as in the past, travel on the existing railway line to Schweinfurt main station. The second branch would run as a tram over the Ludwigsbrücke through the inner city of Schweinfurt and finally be connected to the existing Schweinfurt – Meiningen railway line.
