The Schwenningen (Neckar) Station is one of two stations in Villingen-Schwenningen . The other is Villingen (Black Forest) .
location
The station is located on the Neckar , south of Schwenningen city center. It is 695 meters above sea level on the Rottweil – Villingen railway line . Originally the station was 540 meters long and up to 56 meters wide. The facility included a station building and a goods shed .
history
Schwenningen owes its connection to the railway to Johannes Bürk , who established the route via Schwenningen in order to promote the local watch industry , which also included his own factory. The original plans were to run the route via Niedereschach .
The station promoted Schwenningen's economic boom as an industrial city . The watch industry attracted workers from far away, including from the Stuttgart area. This explains why 436,410 travelers were counted in 1907, although Schwenningen only rose from village to town that year.
The station building was not completed until 1872.
Due to the industrial importance of Schwenningen, the station was the target of Allied air raids several times during World War II .
Investments
On the opposite side of the tracks, but to the west of the reception building, were once the freight yard buildings . After the site had been remediated and the last known duds had been defused , the site could be used for the 2010 Villingen-Schwenningen State Horticultural Show .
A historic signal box belongs to the station . It was built in 1869. Here the points were set using mechanical levers. It is located opposite the reception building on the Neckar. The building is no longer used for rail operations, but is a listed building . In the course of the state horticultural show, the pedestrian underpass that once connected the reception building with Neckarstrasse was shortened. It only extends beyond the second platform and the signal box, which has been secured with a new base.
