The Thann-Matzbach Station is an operating agency of the railway line from Munich to Simbach in the district of Thann of the Upper Bavarian municipality Lengdorf . The Royal Bavarian State Railways put it into operation in 1887 as a Thann-Lengdorf stop . When the local railway to Haag branched off in Thann in 1900, it became a separation station and was named Thann-Matzbach . Since the branch line was closed in 1991, it has only been an intermediate station .

location

The Thann-Matzbach station is on route kilometers 38,472 of the single-track and non-electrified main line from Munich East via Mühldorf to Simbach ( route number 5600), which crosses the municipality of Lengdorf in a west-east direction. The single-track and non-electrified branch line via Isen to Haag (route number 5722) began in Thann-Matzbach at kilometer 0.000 and branched off to the east of the station to the south.

The Thann-Matzbach station is located in an open field outside of closed localities . Until 1978 it was in the municipality of Matzbach , since then it has belonged to the municipality of Lengdorf . To the west of the station, the tracks run directly north of the village of Thann with the St. Nikolaus branch church. The center of Lengdorf is about 1.5 kilometers south of the Thann-Matzbach train station and had its own Lengdorf station on the branch line to Haag. Furthermore, in the vicinity of the train station, the places Brandlengdorf are about 500 meters southeast and Niedergeislbach about one kilometer northeast. The station is connected to the connecting road between Thann and Brandlengdorf in the south via a spur road. At the eastern entrance signal , the road from Brandlengdorf to Niedergeislbach crosses the track. To the east of the reception building, a dirt road underpass and at the west end at Thann a dirt road bridge crosses the tracks. The Geislbach runs north of the tracks .

history

Thann-Lengdorf stop

As part of the planning for the Munich – Simbach main line, the municipality of Isen applied for the establishment of a station near Niedergeislbach in the municipality of Matzbach on February 17, 1868 . Since the main line should have an incline of 1: 200 at this point , the General Directorate of the Royal Transport Authority refused and decided to set up a station in Walpertskirchen, seven kilometers to the west, instead .

Thann-Lengdorf stop with restoration (1898)

After the opening of the main line, the community of Lengdorf tried again from 1872 to find a station near Niedergeislbach, but initially remained unsuccessful. In 1887 the Royal Bavarian State Railways in the municipality of Matzbach finally set up a stop at barrier post 34 near Thann , one kilometer west of Niedergeislbach, for 1,082  marks . The Thann-Lengdorf station went into operation on June 20, 1887 as a stop with limited freight service. The converted building of the barrier post served as the station building.

With the start of operations, there was a significant shift in traffic in passenger and animal transport from the Hörlkofen , Walpertskirchen and Dorfen stations to the Thann-Lengdorf stop. In the year of operation in 1888 it already exceeded the neighboring Walpertskirchen station in ticket sales by 1,800, and in 1893 with 11,248 tickets sold by almost 4,000. Soon after the opening, a station restoration was built south of the station .

Expansion to the separation station

In the 1890s, the Royal Bavarian State Railways decided to use Thann-Lengdorf as a branch station for a local railway to Haag. Construction work on the line began in November 1898. The stopping place Thann-Lengdorf became the station expanded and from a station V. Class of station IV. Class incremented. The branch station was given very simple equipment: between the main line's track and the operations building, the Bavarian State Railways only laid another platform track for the local railway, to which a bypass track and a siding were connected. Since Lengdorf received its own station on the local railway, the Bavarian State Railways renamed the Thann-Lengdorf station to Thann-Matzbach on September 20, 1900 . On September 27, 1900, the Thann-Matzbach-Haag local railway began operations.

Because of the steep gradient in the area of ​​the station, shunting movements on freight trains were not permitted for safety reasons, so Thann-Matzbach did not receive any equipment for freight traffic. The Bavarian State Railways therefore used the neighboring Walpertskirchen station , six kilometers away , to transfer goods wagons from the local railway to the Munich – Simbach main line , to which the wagons were transported from Thann-Matzbach in so-called shunting trains .

Entrance building and outbuilding (1904)

In the 1901 operating year, 30,844 tickets were sold in Thann-Matzbach. The simply equipped station proved to be inadequate for the strong increase in traffic. In 1901, the Bavarian State Railways equipped the station with a mechanical signal box . In 1903 they built a new three-story station building and an outbuilding instead of the previous small post building. In order to develop Thann-Matzbach into a fully-fledged station for train crossings and freight traffic, the Bavarian State Railways began extensive earthworks in 1905. In 1905 they replaced the level crossing east of the building with an underpass and built a new bridge over the tracks at the western end of the station near Thann. The continuous main track was swiveled north from 1906 to 1907 and a siding was set up in its previous location . From 1908 to 1909, the Bavarian State Railways re-routed the railway systems and reduced the maximum incline from 1: 200 to 1: 400 so that shunting movements in the station were possible. In addition, the station in the west received additional sidings and a loading ramp . The renovations from 1903 to 1909 cost a total of around 169,600 marks, 104,690 marks of which were due to the reduction of the gradient. By 1914 two additional sidings were added to the east of the station.

On October 13, 1909, shortly after the construction work was finished, two freight trains collided in the western exit of the station. The cause was a mistake by the dispatcher after the crossing of the trains had been moved from Dorfen train station to Thann-Matzbach. 13 railway workers who were braking on the freight wagons were injured.

Decline

In 1959 one of the three sidings in the east of the station was dismantled. On September 29, 1968, the Deutsche Bundesbahn stopped the passenger train service on the branch line from Thann-Matzbach to Haag, whereby the Thann-Matzbach station lost its importance as a transfer point. As a result, the Deutsche Bundesbahn completely dismantled the eastern sidings.

After the Isen – Haag section of the branch line was shut down in 1974 and the remaining freight traffic was significantly reduced in 1983, the Deutsche Bundesbahn reduced the western storage group of the station to a dead end in June 1985. A parking lot was created at the site of the adjacent building, which was demolished at the same time. On December 31, 1991, it finally shut down the remaining Thann-Matzbach-Isen section and in 1992 dismantled the tracks on the branch line. This means that Thann-Matzbach station was only an intermediate station for train crossings on the main line.

On December 23, 2003, the community of Lengdorf bought 12,000 square meters of railway area south of the track system and from December 2004 built a P + R facility with 146 parking spaces.

construction

Buildings

When the Thann-Lengdorf stop was set up, the Bavarian State Railways converted the caretaker's house at barrier post 34 into a station building. In return, the single-storey gable roof building was given an extension in the west, in which a service room and a waiting room were accommodated. In 1903 the Bavarian State Railways demolished the building, which had become too small for the new construction.

Entrance building from the street side (2014)

The new station building of the Thann-Matzbach station went into operation on September 22, 1903. It is a three-storey building with a tiled hipped roof on an area of ​​18 m × 10 m. In contrast to the older high-rise buildings of the main line, which were made of exposed brick , the building was plastered ; the facades were divided by structural plaster elements and a cornice . On the ground floor there was a vestibule with a ticket office , a second and third class waiting room and a service room, and the service apartments for the railway staff on the two upper floors. On the track side it was provided with a platform canopy designed as a pent roof and a wooden extension for the signal box on the northwest corner. With the establishment of a new signal box, the reception building received a new canopy and a bricked signal box front building in 1958. In July 1985, the Deutsche Bundesbahn replaced the structural plaster elements on the facades with smooth exterior plaster. In 2005, Deutsche Bahn closed the ticket office in the building. In 2014 the reception building was sold to a community of architects and converted into a refugee home in 2015 . The interlocking front will continue to be used by Deutsche Bahn.

To the west of the reception building, the Bavarian State Railways erected a single-storey outbuilding with a gable roof in 1903, in which the station toilets, laundry room , petroleum chamber and wooden storage room were located. In the 1940s, the Deutsche Reichsbahn expanded the building to include common rooms for railway employees. In the summer of 1985 the outbuilding was demolished.

Platforms and track systems

Platforms from the east, on the left the buffer stop of the disused track 1 (2017)

The Thann-Lengdorf stop was only equipped with a bulk platform on the track. After the expansion into a branch station, Thann-Matzbach had a second 212-meter-long platform track for the local railway in addition to the main line track, which was connected to the main track west of the station building via a simple switch connection. A 73 meter long bypass track was connected to the local railway track to the west of the switch connection; A 70 meter long siding branched off east of the station building.

After completion of the expansion work, the station was equipped with three main tracks from 1909 . The track of the local railway was on the house platform , to the north of it the 663 meter long siding and the continuous main track of the main railway were on intermediate platforms . In the west of the station, a storage facility with two butt tracks was connected to the local railway track , between which there was a switch connection for moving . The loading dock was on the southern siding. In the east from 1914 three stub tracks branched off from the local railway track for the storage of freight cars. A track connection between main and local train tracks only existed in the west of the station.

From 1959 the local railway tracks were gradually dismantled. Since track 1 was closed, only the continuous main track (track 3) and the sideline (track 2) have been in operation; both tracks are equipped with 38 centimeter high platforms.

Signal boxes and signal systems

Signal box of the standard design from 1959 (2017)

After the expansion to the station, the Royal Bavarian State Railways centralized the point and signal operation in Thann-Matzbach from 1900 to 1901. The station received a mechanical signal box of the Krauss type as well as entry and exit signals . In 1959, the Deutsche Bundesbahn replaced the previous signal box with a mechanical signal box of the standard design, which was housed in a new signal box front structure. The last form signals of Bavarian design were in operation in Thann-Matzbach until 1984 and were then replaced by standard form signals.

traffic

passenger traffic

From its opening, the Thann-Lengdorf stop was the stop for all passenger trains between Munich and Simbach. In 1891 four pairs of trains stopped every day, and from 1895 five pairs of trains . In 1899, a pair of express trains from Munich to Simbach stopped temporarily . From 1900 three mixed pairs of passenger and freight trains ran daily on the local line between Thann-Matzbach and Haag, from which it was possible to transfer to the main line trains at Thann-Matzbach station. From the 1920s, one express train from Munich to Mühldorf and two express trains in the opposite direction stopped at Thann-Matzbach station. Until the Second World War, the supply of trains remained largely constant.

In the winter timetable 1951/52, the Deutsche Bundesbahn served the station with five pairs of passenger trains and two pairs of express trains from Munich to Mühldorf and Simbach every day, which were supplemented by a pair of passenger trains between Munich East and Dorfen from Monday to Friday . In addition, five pairs of trains started daily in Thann-Matzbach via the branch line to Haag and one to Isen. By 1966, the number of trains in Thann-Matzbach increased to seven to eight pairs of people on weekdays and two pairs of express trains between Munich and Mühldorf. Passenger traffic on the branch line to Haag ended in 1968; Finally, five pairs of trains ran on weekdays, one of which only went to Isen. With the discontinuation of the transfer function, the express train stops in Thann-Matzbach were also given up.

With the 1972 summer schedule, most local trains stopping in Thann-Matzbach only ran between Markt Schwaben and Mühldorf. In the 1980s, the Deutsche Bundesbahn reduced the number of trains on weekends until, on Sundays and public holidays in 1991, only a single train from Mühldorf to Munich stopped in Thann-Matzbach. From 1991, individual trains ended at Thann-Matzbach station on weekdays. In 2002 the Südostbayernbahn tied all trains to Munich again. During the week, four regional trains from Munich to Mühldorf and five in the opposite direction stopped in Thann-Matzbach ; On Sundays, however, only one pair of trains continues. In the following years the Südostbayernbahn increased the number of stopping trains; however, there is still no clock traffic . In the 2020 timetable, twelve trains in the direction of Mühldorf and nine in the direction of Munich stop from Monday to Friday, ten trains in the direction of Mühldorf and six to seven in the direction of Munich at the weekend.

Freight transport

As a stop with a limited freight service , Thann-Lengdorf was initially only used for the transport of animals. In 1890 pigs , calves , sheep and goats were loaded, which brought the station an income of 850 marks. After the expansion to a station, the Bavarian State Railways in Thann-Matzbach only loaded cattle and milk. The general cargo and wagonload traffic instead took place at the Lengdorf stop on the local railway, so that the Thann-Matzbach station did not have a goods shed .

From 1900 to 1909, two shunting trains ran between Thann-Matzbach and Walpertskirchen on weekdays to transfer freight wagons from the local railway to the main line. After the gradient had been reduced, from 1909 the shunting work for the wagon handover took place directly in the Thann-Matzbach station. Freight traffic from Thann-Matzbach to Haag was carried out in mixed trains with passenger traffic until 1957 . After the discontinuation of local freight trains , the Deutsche Bundesbahn operated the route from Thann-Matzbach to Haag with a pair of transfer goods trains from Dorfen every working day , which from 1974 only ran to Isen. Most recently, the branch line from Thann-Matzbach was operated with a handover from Markt Schwaben . On December 1, 1991, the German Federal Railroad stopped freight traffic between Thann-Matzbach and Isen.
