The Untertürkheim station consists of two parts: the passenger station on the Stuttgart S-Bahn network and a freight station to the north . The abbreviation in the directory of operations centers is "TSU".

history

For Untertürkheim , the railway age began on October 22nd, 1845 with the opening of the first railway line in Württemberg . The first section of the Zentralbahn connected the small wine-growing community with its upper administrative town of Cannstatt , which is just under five kilometers away . On November 7, 1845, the line was extended to Obertürkheim .

The first station building was one-story and roughly identical to those in Cannstatt and Obertürkheim . Untertürkheim developed into a popular destination for day trippers who used the new means of transport. Bathers and hikers came from nearby Stuttgart . At the goods loading point, mostly agricultural products were shipped in the direction of Stuttgart.

The royal Württemberg railway administration planned to relieve the Stuttgart main station from 1890 . A bypass line was supposed to create a direct connection between the east and north lines for freight trains . The choice fell on Untertürkheim station as the starting point for the new route and as the location for a new freight and marshalling yard , and the end point was Kornwestheim station . Construction work began in the spring of 1894. The new freight and marshalling yard was built on Cannstatter Strasse (since 1936 Augsburger Strasse ) and ceremoniously opened in 1896 in the presence of King Wilhelm II .

The length of the track field was about 2300 meters and was on average 125 meters wide. It was equipped with an administration and several service buildings, loading ramps for goods and military transports, five signal boxes for 162 points , a separate stop for the railroad workers and a locomotive shed with four stands and a water tower .

The reception and administration building that still exists today was built at the passenger station. Consists of two wings and a central hall. In the southern wing there was a post and telegraph office until 1960. In the north was the parcel and express goods acceptance. A residential building was added for the railway employees.

The Remsbahnkurve has existed since May 1, 1897, and enables a connection between the freight yard and the Remsbahn . The railway line to Kornwestheim has been double-tracked since September 23, 1904. After a few years, the marshalling yard was already overloaded. Planning for the expansion began in 1906.

In order to relieve the Ostbahn, the construction of a left bank Neckarbahn was up for debate between 1900 and 1907 . During the initial planning, a branch to Untertürkheim was only planned at the level of Wangen . Finally, it should only separate from the Ostbahn in the Untertürkheim freight yard. However, the project never came to fruition.

In 1911, the project to expand the freight yard failed due to the lack of space. Instead, the railway administration decided to build a larger marshalling yard in Kornwestheim . At the Untertürkheim freight station, only local freight traffic should be started in the future. Additional tracks to the Cannstatter Güterbahnhof were put into operation on November 17, 1912 for this purpose. On November 13, 1923, the connection to the newly created freight station in Gaisburg (closed in the mid-1980s) followed, and in 1933 the electric suburban traffic in Stuttgart began . Since 1958, the Stuttgart-Untertürkheim-Stuttgart Hafen railway has also joined the station.

In 1981 a new central signal box from Siemens went into operation, which was one of the largest of its kind in Germany . On a total of 215 km of track, with around 250 points and 300 signals, around 2,750 train and shunting trips were controlled by four employees every day. The 40 million DM system replaced twelve mechanical interlockings and electromechanical interlockings . This enabled 44 employees to be released for other tasks. The relay interlocking is to be integrated into a digital interlocking in Stuttgart by 2025 .

Rail operations

The station is served by the S1 line of the Stuttgart S-Bahn. Track 6 was rebuilt for S-Bahn operations. Track 5 is assigned to the S-Bahn in the direction of Bad Cannstatt , track 6 to those in the direction of Esslingen . Individual regional trains run on track 2 , which connect Kornwestheim and Untertürkheim via the “Schusterbahn”. Tracks 1, 3 and 4 are used by trains passing through, with platforms 3 and 4 on platforms.

Untertürkheim station is assigned to station category 3.

In the 1980s, the marshalling yard was declared a satellite of the Kornwestheim marshalling yard and therefore lost its importance. No more goods are loaded. The numerous tracks serve as sidings for freight trains. In the meantime, some rails have been dismantled on the partly overgrown terrain. As part of the “ Stuttgart 21 ” project, the track field for the new Untertürkheim parking station is to be used again.

The Untertürkheim train station is to be equipped with ETCS Level 2 (as of May 2019).
