The Sulzbach (Saar) train station , along with the Sulzbach (Saar) Altenwald stop, is one of two train stations in the small town of Sulzbach / Saar in the Saarland . The train station of Category 5, the Deutsche Bahn AG (DB) has two platform railroad tracks and is in the tariff area of the Saarland traffic group (SaarVV).
location
The train station is located in the center of Sulzbach / Saar in the street Am Bahnhof . A siding to the Altenwald mine used to branch off from it .
history
With the commissioning of the Neunkirchen - Saarbrücken section in 1852 as a continuation of the Palatinate Ludwigshafen - Bexbach Ludwigshafen Railway, which was completed in 1849 and which was tied to Neunkirchen as early as 1850, the Sulzbach (Saar) station was created. The main line was intended to transport coal from the Saar area to the Rhine . While the Bavarian side was initially considering defining St. Ingbert , which was then still Bavarian, as the western end point, this was dropped under pressure from Prussia , since a long-term connection to Saarbrücken should only lead through its own territory . Therefore, Bexbach was targeted, from where the extension later via Neunkirchen and the Sulzbachtal took place.
Reception building
The station building of the Sulzbacher Bahnhof was built between 1938 and 1940 in place of a half-timbered predecessor as a two- and one-storey building complex in clinker construction. The signal box for the Sulzbach station and the Friedrichsthal station is located in a porch on the platform side at the level of the platform, but is controlled remotely from Neunkirchen during normal operation. The station building is a listed building.
Platforms and tracks
There are several tracks in the station area of Sulzbach (Saar). The first two tracks, which are located on a covered central platform, are available for passenger traffic when viewed from the station building . Access is via a tunnel and is not barrier-free, since March 20, 2017, work has been carried out on renovation and barrier-free access. Five more tracks are used for freight traffic . Formerly there was a goods shed and a loading street with a head ramp on the side opposite the station building. They are no longer in use, but they are still there.
traffic
Only regional trains of line 73 stop at Sulzbach train station every 30 minutes from Saarbrücken to St. Wendel (every 60 minutes to Neubrücke (Nahe) ). The RE trains on line 3 in the direction of Mainz no longer stop in Sulzbach since the takeover by vlexx at the December 2015 timetable change.
