The Steinsfurt station is the station in the Steinsfurt district , which belongs to the Baden-Württemberg city of Sinsheim . In the station the Kraichgau-Stromberg-Bahn branches off to Eppingen from the Elsenztalbahn ( Heidelberg -) Neckargemünd - Bad Friedrichshall .
The station has two platform tracks. It is located in the transition area between the Rhein-Neckar transport association (tariff zone 186) and Heilbronn local transport (tariff zone 401).
location
The station is located southwest of the Steinsfurt town center near the Evangelical Church . His address is Ansbachstrasse 33 . The reception building is located along with the bus station and the square in front of the station on the eastern side of the tracks, where a P + R - parking with around 100 spaces (and two disabled parking spaces ) is available. In addition to the reception building, there are also around 40 covered bicycle parking spaces . In the south of the station area, Ansbachstraße crosses the railroad tracks by means of a level crossing . Ansbachstrasse also connects the train station with the town center. To the west, the station is bounded by a vegetated slope on which Schulstrasse and Giebelstrasse run. These two streets flow into Pfohlhofstraße , which spans the tracks with a bridge in the north of the station . A staircase connects the platforms with Schulstrasse.
The station itself is designed as a separation station and is located at route kilometer 12,913 of the Elsenz Valley Railway ( VzG route number 4114). In the area around Steinsfurt this has been developed as a single-track and electrified main line . The zero point of the kilometers on this route is in Meckesheim . At the same time, the station is also the starting point (route km 0.0) of the Kraichgau-Stromberg-Bahn branching off here (VzG route number 4115). The tracks on both lines cross the Elsenz on a bridge south of the platforms .
The adjacent operating points are toward Bad Friedrichshall of 7 km train station Grombach , towards Eppingen 2.5 km away breakpoint rows and towards Neckargemünd of only about 800 meters away breakpoint Sinsheim Museum / Arena. This is connected to the Steinsfurt train station as part of the train station (Bft).
history
Start time
As early as 1862, the Grand Ducal Baden State Railways opened the Elsenz Valley Railway on the section from Heidelberg via Neckargemünd to Meckesheim in order to be able to connect the area of the southern Odenwald to the rail network. On June 18, 1868, the opening trip on the extension via Sinsheim and Steinsfurt to Bad Rappenau followed . Six days later, the line was opened to public transport together with the train station of the then still independent municipality of Steinsfurt.
The opening of the station brought an economic boom for the then poor and agricultural community. The construction of the railway line near Steinsfurt also involved the operation of quarries near the village. Due to its importance for the place, the station was often a motif for postcards from Steinsfurt.
On August 5, 1869, the extension from Bad Rappenau to Jagstfeld was put into operation, where there was a connection to the rail network of the Royal Württemberg State Railways (KW St. E.). This enabled train connections from Heidelberg in Baden via Steinsfurt to Heilbronn in Württemberg .
A little later, ideas came up to build a connecting line from the Kraichgaubahn near Eppingen via Steinsfurt and on to Helmstadt or Waibstadt in order to connect there to the Badische Odenwaldbahn to Mosbach . After submissions from the surrounding communities and taking note of the traffic-related advantages for the Grand Duchy of Baden - the route could be run continuously across Baden areas - the Baden government approved a railway line from Eppingen to Steinsfurt in 1879 . After overcoming a financial crisis, a government resolution for railway construction was passed in 1897, which was also passed by law on February 25, 1898 . So on June 15, 1898, construction work for the 12.86 km long Eppingen – Steinsfurt side line began. After a little more than two years of construction, it was finally inaugurated on November 15, 1900.
From the beginning, however, the train station in Sinsheim was the starting point for the trains in the direction of Eppingen. While the tracks there were generously expanded, Steinsfurt remained a rather smaller stopover. The extension from Steinsfurt to Helmstadt or Waibstadt was not realized after it was questioned as uneconomical as early as 1879.
Further development
For 1914, 32 trains per day were recorded for Steinsfurt station, with half of the trains from Steinsfurt continuing in the direction of Eppingen and the other half serving the route in the direction of Jagstfeld. In the summer timetables of 1939 and 1941, 26 trains served the station on weekdays. By 1943, the number of trains running on weekdays had been reduced to 20. This did not change in the course book of 1944 either.
From the mid- 1950s years, the attempted German Federal Railways , from steam locomotives hauled passenger trains through Uerdingen railbuses or (VT 95 and VT 98) by diesel to replace run passenger trains.
On January 1, 1973 Steinsfurt was incorporated into Sinsheim . The station was not renamed Sinsheim-Steinsfurt - as was the case with the incorporations of Hoffenheim and rows to Sinsheim.
A cessation of traffic on the route to Eppingen planned for 1976 could be averted after protests by the neighboring communities.
In 2004 the ailing bridge over the Elsenz was replaced by a new one. As part of this measure is also the former, both sides tailed was siding (track 3) mined, which was partially built but a little later (see below) again.
Since September 1, 2007, the station has been declared smoke-free .
Expansion for S-Bahn traffic
Until 2009, only diesel-powered trains could run in Steinsfurt station due to a lack of electrification . Here came DMUs Series 628 and locomotives of the series 218 before n cars used. In the summer of 2009, the station was upgraded for S-Bahn traffic as part of the project “Electrification and expansion of the local transport infrastructure on the Elsenztal and Schwarzbachtalbahn ” as part of the second expansion stage of the RheinNeckar S-Bahn. In the area of the bridge on Pfohlhofstrasse, the track had to be lowered by 60 cm to 1.10 m to make room for the overhead line . The height of the platforms has also been adapted to the boarding height of the railways, which enables barrier-free boarding. In addition, the new platform entrances enable barrier-free access to all platforms. The platform equipment was renewed, for example new, glass shelters for waiting travelers were installed.
Associated with the promotion of TSG 1899 Hoffenheim to the Bundesliga, there was also an increase in special trains for home games in the Rhein-Neckar-Arena . The special trains go to the Sinsheim Museum / Arena stop, but a siding (track 3) had to be relocated at the Steinsfurt train station in order to be able to park the special trains during the season. At the end of the game, the train is shunted back to the stop at the arena. Track 3 is designed as a butt track and is connected from the direction of Sinsheim. It has no platform edge .
Since the 2009/2010 timetable change in December 2009, the S5 line of the RheinNeckar S-Bahn has been serving the Steinsfurt station. This was accompanied by longer operating times, especially in the evening and night, as well as minimally shorter travel times.
Steinsfurt as a stop for the Heilbronn tram
After extensive renovation of the Steinsfurt - Bad Friedrichshall section, the S42 light rail line on the section from Sinsheim via Steinsfurt to Bad Rappenau was put into operation at the 2014/2015 timetable change , before going to Heilbronn Hauptbahnhof / Willy-Brandt- in spring 2015 . Place could be extended and has been operated over its entire length ever since. The Stadtbahn allows you to travel from Steinsfurt to downtown Heilbronn without having to change trains .
Railway systems
Reception building
The two-storey station building dates from the time of the railway construction and was made of sandstone . The building has a hipped roof covered with red roof tiles . All elements are arranged symmetrically as far as possible. In the past four doors led from the building to the house platform . In the course of upgrading the station for S-Bahn traffic, the building was extensively renovated. Today it is privately inhabited.
Signal boxes
Until October 24, 2008, two mechanical interlockings were responsible for operation in the Steinsfurt station. A dispatcher (Fdl) and a switch attendant (Ww) were on duty at these signal boxes. With the commissioning of the electronic interlocking "Elsenztal" these became superfluous. Since then, the station has been controlled remotely by the dispatcher, Meckesheim 2, from the operations center in Karlsruhe. At the same time, the shape signals that were still present in the station were replaced by modern light signals and the level crossing on Ansbachstrasse was renewed. The former signal box 2 is still preserved.
Track systems
- Track 1 is the continuous main track of the Elsenz Valley Railway Neckargemünd - Bad Friedrichshall.
- Track 2 is the branching main track of the Kraichgau-Stromberg-Bahn to Eppingen.
- Track 3 is used to park special football trains for TSG 1899 Hoffenheim's Bundesliga home games.
Platform 1 is the main platform of the train station, platform 2 is designed as an intermediate platform, but has only one edge of the platform towards platform 2.
A former railway siding from platform 1 to an adjacent operation no longer exists.
