The Feuerbach station is a station in the network of the Stuttgart S-Bahn in the district Feuerbach .

Around 21,000 people get on, off or transfer at Feuerbach train station every day. 320 to 330 trains stop daily as scheduled .

history

In the course of the opening of the central railway from Stuttgart to Ludwigsburg , the Royal Württemberg State Railway put the Feuerbach station into operation on October 15, 1846. It is one of the oldest train stations in Württemberg. At that time he was about a kilometer outside the village, on the road towards Cannstatt . The old one-story entrance building was built about 200 meters from the Prague tunnel .

In 1852 the northern line between Stuttgart and Bietigheim received a second line track . Industrialization had begun for the former wine-growing community. In 1864 the Jobst quinine factory was established as the first large-scale operation . The first extensions to the station took place in 1871 and 1872. The station building was given another floor and the freight yard took up larger areas. The station was already one of the most frequented in Württemberg at the end of the 19th century.

The volume of passenger and freight traffic grew. Other large companies such as Leitz and Bosch (1910) settled here. The royal government granted Feuerbach town charter on March 15, 1907 after the population had risen to over 12,000. The small train station was no longer up to its tasks and a renovation was necessary. A larger reception building and a more powerful freight yard were created. The planning and construction management were provided by the state railway administration , while the Stuttgart architects Bihl & Woltz received the order for the facade design. In 1909 the present station building was inaugurated. The builders planned it so that travelers could enter it at ground level from the forecourt. The platforms are raised by one floor. This design was new in Württemberg.

The building consists of a long two-story central building with two three-story wing structures. The entrance is in the middle. Above it is a small tower with two clocks.

On November 16, 1925, the Reichsbahn completed the four-track expansion between Stuttgart Hbf and Feuerbach. On May 1, 1933, the city of Feuerbach was forced to be incorporated into the city of Stuttgart. With the electrification of two tracks, on-site operations between Stuttgart Hbf and Ludwigsburg began on May 15, 1933 . The station was renamed Stuttgart-Feuerbach on June 1, 1933.

On November 30, 2012, a group of three loaded freight wagons that had run away in the Kornwestheim marshalling yard and was rolling in the direction of Stuttgart Hbf, was directed from the Zuffenhausen signal box onto track 1a. The cars drove over the buffer stop and damaged, among other things, the platform and its roof. The accident resulted in damage of 670,000 euros. A resident of the station building remained seated on most of his damage, as the total liability of Deutsche Bahn was limited to a total of 300,000 euros. In 2014, an investigation was initiated against two railway employees for dangerous interference in rail traffic . An expert opinion from the Federal Railway Accident Investigation Board is pending (as of September 2016).

On December 17, 2015, a person got his arm in the door of a S-Bahn that started shortly afterwards and died.

In August 2016, elevators were to be put into operation on the two remaining platforms (status: 2013). In addition, the platforms should be raised by 2018. The elevators are to be built at the level of the station building. An alternative location is being considered. The installation of the elevators, now in the underpass built as part of Stuttgart 21, was postponed to 2019.

Renovation in the course of Stuttgart 21

Construction work in the station (October 2016)

As part of the Stuttgart 21 project , the station is to be rebuilt in ten construction phases over around four and a half years. For this purpose, lock-out breaks are primarily planned at night and on weekends.

The eastern outer platform is to give way to the long-distance railway tracks of the Frankenbahn, which are to be pulled apart, between which a 25 per thousand steep ramp is to lead from the connection in the north head of the station the access of the new tracks to the planned Feuerbach tunnel with portal in the southern station area, at the level of Kruppstrasse under the Prague tunnel . The central platform will be accessed by a new platform underpass. Railway operations are to be maintained throughout the entire phase. After the construction work has been completed, the previous long-distance railway tracks are to be used as construction tracks for dismantling measures.

In the course of the construction work for the trough structure in front of the Feuerbach tunnel, a baggage tunnel and a pedestrian underpass between the station forecourt and Kruppstrasse were closed. They stand in the way of the long-distance railway tracks to be lowered and should be concreted over. The existing pedestrian underpass between the station forecourt and Siemensstrasse in the reception building should only be usable up to platform 2. As a replacement, a 6 m wide pedestrian underpass was built at Wiener Platz. It was opened as a temporary measure on July 2, 2018 and should be completed by May 2019.

Construction work began on October 30, 2012. By December 2012, new catenary masts were erected and the filling of the platform underpass began. In 2013, the demolition of the eastern platform began to make room for the new track system. According to Deutsche Bahn, construction work was delayed after sand lizards were found that should have been relocated. In order to begin construction of the Feuerbach tunnel, a hearing process on the abstraction of groundwater must also be completed.

In June and July 2015, the two long-distance tracks were relocated to the east, in the former area of ​​the eastern platform. In September 2016 the S-Bahn track outside the city was relocated from the west to the east side of the central platform.

In mid-September 2017, the inner city track of the S-Bahn was swiveled to the middle platform (location of track 2) to create construction clearance in the area of ​​track 1. At the beginning of May 2018, the track was returned to its original position.

State of construction at Feuerbach station in December 2018: The S-Bahn tracks are at their end, the platform on track 2 has been renewed, the Feuerbach tunnel can be seen between the S-Bahn and mainline tracks.

In November 2018, the S-Bahn track outside the city was swiveled into its original position on the west side of the central platform. The eastern half of the middle platform was demolished to make way for the mainline railway track in the city center. In July 2019, the long-distance railway track in the city center was moved there to make room for the tunnel ramp to the Feuerbach tunnel. The shell is to be completed in mid-2021 (as of June 2018).

Elevation of the platforms

At the end of 2015, the station was one of four of the 83 stations on the Stuttgart S-Bahn whose platforms were not accessible via elevators or ramps. The station is also not considered to be barrier-free due to the platform heights being too low and the platforms in curves and the associated gaps . The step-free expansion should be implemented by 2014 (status: August 2012). The platforms are then to be modernized and raised. Now (as of 2015) two elevators are to be built in 2017 and 2018 and then the platforms are to be raised for 2.5 million euros. Because of the curve, a gap of up to 32 cm should remain. The increase of platform 2 from 76 to 96 cm is planned by the end of 2018.

In the summer of 2014, the Stuttgart Region Association agreed to assume the planning costs of 455,000 euros for the raising of the platform on track 1 . The measure was canceled shortly before Christmas 2016. According to DB, the offer made in November 2016 was 5.5 million euros, almost twice as high as the amount provided for in the funding application for funding under the State Municipal Transport Financing Act. In April 2017, the Feuerbach district advisory board criticized the short-term cancellation of the construction work on the platform of track 1. Deutsche Bahn announced that it would make the increase after the Stuttgart 21 construction work. The financing must be reorganized for this. The increase planned from February 2017 is therefore to be postponed to 2021 at the earliest.

Further expansion

A feasibility study financed by the Stuttgart region and the state, the final version of which should be available in early 2018, estimates the cost of upgrading the former WEG track for S-Bahn (extension of the platform, electrification) at up to 7.5 million euros. The VRS Transport Committee spoke out in favor of this measure in mid-November 2017. In the future, half-hourly S-Bahn amplifier trains from the S6 line from Weil der Stadt are to end at the platform.

The expansion of the station to a regional station is being considered. The implementation of the P option , an additional track connection with the main train station, is a prerequisite for this.

Rail operations

In terms of rail operations, Stuttgart-Feuerbach is a stopping point with four through tracks. Track 1 is assigned to the S-Bahn to Stuttgart Schwabstraße, track 2 to the S-Bahn to Backnang, Böblingen, Bietigheim and Weil der Stadt. Tracks 3 and 4 are used by regional and long-distance trains passing through.

There is also stump track 1a, which is operationally assigned to Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen station. Until 2013, individual trains of the Württemberg railway company turned there during rush hour ; these were tied to and from the Strohgäubahn .

Feuerbach station is assigned to station category 4.
