history

Planning of the north and west railways

In the years 1843 and 1844, the planning for the route of the railway lines around Stuttgart was in full swing. The engineer and surveyor Charles Vignoles planned to have the route leading to Bruchsal branch off from the route leading to Heilbronn near Tamm . His colleague Oberbaurat Karl Etzel revised his proposal and advised against it in July 1845. He recommended separating the Western Railway from the Northern Railway at Bietigheim and thus prevailed.

The Königlich Württembergische Staatsbahn assumed great interest in a station on the part of the community of Tamm. But the local council and a citizens' committee saw no advantage in the new means of transport and decided on June 1, 1846 not to accept the offer - a mistake with grave consequences, as it soon turned out.

On October 11, 1847, the state railway opened the Ludwigsburg - Bietigheim section , which it expanded in 1852 to include a second track .

Efforts of the community

The railway management did not agree to renewed discussions with the request to build a station and referred to the Asperg and Bietigheim stations , which are within reach.

On the Enz , the raftsmen brought tribes from the Black Forest to the region. Many went ashore in Bissingen. In the vicinity of Tamm, but already in the Asperger district, a new wood collection point was built in the 1860s. With this the Tammer wanted to draw attention to themselves. However, the railway administration again referred to the Asperg and Bietigheim stations, which were ready for quick removal. And she knew that with the completion of the Enztal and Nagoldtalbahn , rafting would be a thing of the past.

In the spring of 1874 the local council asked the members of the Ludwigsburg Oberamt for support. He recommended petitions to the railroad management and ministers from Midnight . Industrialists also took part, on the one hand the Franck brothers from Ludwigsburg , who employed 40 tammers in their chicory factory , and on the other hand Adolf Reihlen from Stuttgart, owner of the Stuttgart sugar factory , who wanted to benefit from the sugar beet cultivation at Tamm. The mayors of the town of Markgröningen and the communities of Bissingen and Untermberg also endorsed the train stop. The citizens' representatives mentioned the sacrifices the population had to put up with for the railway. The few level crossings hampered the farmers in cultivating the fields and the Backnang – Bietigheim railway line, approved in 1873, will in future split up further plots at Fißlerhof.

Opening of the train station

Finally the management agreed and built the Thamm station , which was ceremoniously opened to traffic on December 10, 1877. The three-story entrance building that was built at that time still exists today. There followed a moderate settlement of industrial companies south of the station. The village grew to the west. The lake meadow to the north remained undeveloped and to the east the boundary with Asperg prevented. In 1904 the spelling of the place name changed to Tamm.

Reich and Bundesbahn time

To relieve the train station in Bietigheim, a bypass line was to swerve north of Tamm from the northern line and merge with the western line in front of the Metterzimmer stop . Although approved in 1937, construction was never started. In 1940 the northern line between Ludwigsburg and Bietigheim was given a third track.

On November 10, 1950, the Deutsche Bundesbahn electrified this section and expanded the Stuttgart suburban traffic . From this the S-Bahn Stuttgart had developed, which has also served Tamm since May 31, 1981, after which the Ludwigsburg – Bietigheim-Bissingen section was supplemented by a fourth track.

Around 1973 the industrial area Ludwigsburg Nord (Tammerfeld) was connected to the railway network by means of a siding from the Tamm train station. Another siding used to lead to the industrial area of ​​Tamm Nord to the northwest of the station.

Rail operations

The station is served by the S5 line of the Stuttgart S-Bahn. Track 1 is used by trains going through to Ludwigsburg. Passengers no longer have access to the house platform. The S-Bahn to Stuttgart Schwabstraße stop on platform 2, and on platform 3 to Bietigheim. Track 4 does not have a platform. It is designed exclusively for passing trains to Osterburken , Heidelberg , Karlsruhe and Würzburg .

According to Deutsche Bahn AG, the Tamm train station corresponds to station category 4.
