The Stuttgart-Weilimdorf train station is a station in the Stuttgart S-Bahn network in Stuttgart-Weilimdorf . According to the railway building and operating regulations, it is not a train station , but a stopping point .

history

In the mid-1860s, the royal Württemberg railway administration planned a railway line from Stuttgart to Calw . This should branch off from the northern railway in Feuerbach or Zuffenhausen and lead through the Strohgäu to Leonberg . In 1865 the state parliament decided to run it via Zuffenhausen. This decision had a negative impact on the community of Weil im Dorf. The route only touched the northwestern boundary.

The closest station was almost two kilometers away in Korntal . Its inauguration took place on September 23, 1868. Since Weil had significantly more inhabitants in the village than Korntal, the station was temporarily given the name Kornthal-Weil in the village and, from 1904, Korntal-Weil in the village . You could get to it via Ludwigsburger Strasse (today's Solitudestrasse) or Bahnhofweg (today's Karl-Frey-Strasse).

In the years 1913 and 1914 drafts for a line of the Stuttgart suburban tram were made, which should run from Feuerbach via Weil im Dorf to Gerlingen . But because of disputes over the route and the outbreak of World War I, the project could not be realized. It was not until 1926, when the Feuerbach municipal tram started operating , that a solution was found for the citizens of Weil in the village.

In May 1962 the Stuttgart municipal council was presented with the general traffic plan commissioned in 1957. The transport scientist Professor Walther Lambert developed a local transport concept for the state capital and the surrounding area. His design also took Weilimdorf into account - the spelling of which had changed in 1955. At the Black Forest Railway, between the Korntal and Ditzingen stations , a new stop was to be created for the city district.

From the end of the 1960s, an industrial area was created along the railway line. At the end of the 1980s, the Federal Railroad, as designed by Lambert, built a new stop. This was handed over to its intended use on December 3, 1988 with the associated park and ride system .

outlook

The S-Bahn station is to be made barrier-free by 2030.

Rail operations

The stop is served by lines S6 and S60 of the Stuttgart S-Bahn. It has two through tracks. Track 1 is assigned to the trains to Stuttgart Schwabstraße, track 2 to the trains to Weil der Stadt and Böblingen.

The platform edges are about 20 cm lower than the entry height of the vehicles, so entry is not barrier-free.

Weilimdorf station is assigned to station category 5.
