Railway lines

Singing is the starting point of the Gäubahn to Stuttgart . On this route, the city is, among other things, a stop for the intercity trains between Stuttgart, Singen, Schaffhausen and Zurich . The trains of the Black Forest Railway , which connects Singen with Offenburg and Konstanz , also stop in Singen . The Hochrheinbahn provides connections to Basel .

The Randen Railway from Singen to Beuren-Büßlingen was shut down and dismantled, the "Etzwilerbahn" , which was interrupted in Singen, via Rielasingen to Etzwilen in Switzerland is now used as a museum railway .

history

Singen owes its development from a farming village to an industrial city primarily to its role as a railway junction . The railway first reached the village in 1863, when the Hochrheintalbahn from Basel towards Constance was completed. Ten years later, the construction of the Black Forest Railway from Offenburg to Konstanz was completed, which met the Hochrheintalbahn in Singen. The Etzwilerbahn to Switzerland completed the connection network from which Singen benefited.

Large Swiss companies settled their German branches in Singen, not least because of the good rail connections. The factory workers came to work in large numbers in Singen by train. A separate railway was even built for commuters in 1912: the Randen Railway , which was shut down in 1966.

The railroad used to be one of the largest employers in Singen. The first station building was soon replaced by a solid station building, which is still slightly modified today. The freight yard , which used to be on the other side of the tracks right next to the factories, soon became too small. Therefore, in 1927 they built their own freight yard.

In 1989 the Hochrheinbahn section between Schaffhausen and Singen was electrified.

On June 7, 2008, the ICE multiple units 403 015 and 403 515 ( ICE 3 , 403 series ) were christened Singen (Hohentwiel) at Singen station .
