The station is a railway junction and is located on the Rosenheim – Salzburg , Traunstein – Ruhpolding and Traunstein – Garching lines .
location
The train station is located in the center of the city of Traunstein. To the south-east, the station is bounded by the Bahnhofplatz, where the station building is located. The station building has the address Bahnhofplatz 5 . To the north, Wasserburgerstrasse passes under the railway facilities. Güterhallenstrasse runs north-east of the railway site.
history
The Royal Bavarian State Railways opened the Traunstein station on May 7, 1860 as the provisional terminus of the Rosenheim –Traunstein railway line . On August 1, 1860, the station became a through station and the railway line to Salzburg was completed. The station had the status of a railway and postal administration. The three-storey station building was made of brick ; the building had single-storey extensions on the street side and on the left and right. The building housed apartments for railway employees, offices, waiting rooms and ticket offices.
In the following years, Traunstein developed into a railway junction . On August 31, 1891, the Traunstein – Traunreut railway line was opened. Four years later, on August 17, 1895, the Traunstein – Ruhpolding line went into operation. In 1899 a pedestrian bridge , which had to give way for a passenger tunnel as early as 1927 , was built over the track system. On December 1, 1902, the Traunstein– Waging local railway was opened. In 1928 the Rosenheim – Salzburg line was electrified. As a result, the railway maintenance office was expanded to include a contact line maintenance office.
On April 18 and 25, 1945, a large part of the railway system was badly damaged in air raids . The reception building could not be rebuilt, the ticket office and the other facilities were set up in wooden barracks. Between 1953 and 1954, the Deutsche Bundesbahn and the Free State of Bavaria opened a new building. This housed, among other things, ticket offices, a bookstore and other operating rooms. The cost of the new building was DM 740,000.
The reception building was renovated in 1997, and today the building houses a bank branch and a travel center, among other things . Due to a lack of profitability, Deutsche Bahn gave up loading goods in the same year. In 2016 the station was made barrier-free .
Infrastructure
Signal boxes
In the beginning, point attendants set points and signals by hand. The first mechanical interlocking systems were installed around 1900 . These were replaced in July 1969 by a track plan signal box of the type Sp Dr S60. The Übersee station is remote-controlled from this signal box.
Platforms and track systems
In 1877 the station had two platform tracks. In addition, there were two more tracks and several butt tracks for freight traffic . Goods sheds , loading ramps and loading lanes were also located on these . In the period that followed, the railway station's tracks were rebuilt several times due to the commissioning of additional lines and the double-track expansion of the Rosenheim – Salzburg line. Among other things, with the opening of the railway line to Ruhpolding, track 1a was created. In 1940 there were six platform tracks and extensive track systems for parking trains and goods traffic. The locomotive shed , the goods shed, as well as the loading ramp and loading street were located on these tracks .
The track and platform area was significantly rebuilt in 2016. All tracks from track 1b and southeast of it were dismantled. The former engine shed and the railway maintenance building were also removed. The platform on track 2 no longer exists either. All stopping passenger trains in the direction of Salzburg now enter platform 1. Track 2 is now used exclusively as a through and overtaking track. In the course of this renovation, the platform height on track 1 was increased significantly. This happened a few years ago in the area of tracks 3, 4 and 5. Instead of the tracks and buildings in the southeastern station area there is now a parking lot. The platforms on tracks 1 and 3 were built for long-distance traffic with a height of 76 centimeters. All other platforms are 55 centimeters high. These are mainly used by local trains.
traffic
The station is located between the larger Rosenheim and Salzburg stations and is an intercity system stop. It has served as a distribution station since the branch lines to Waging , Ruhpolding and Trostberg were built.
The Traunstein train station is served by Intercity and Eurocity trains in long-distance traffic with Austria . The Eurocity lines 62 and 32 run together every two hours. One pair of trains runs on line 62 from Munich to Klagenfurt , two pairs of trains go from Frankfurt am Main to Klagenfurt, another from Frankfurt to Graz , one from Frankfurt to Linz and a pair of trains from Saarbrücken to Graz. One pair of trains on line 32 runs from Münster or Dortmund to Klagenfurt and is called Wörthersee . With one pair of trains per day, line 26 also stops between Hamburg-Altona and Berchtesgaden , which runs under the name Königssee , and line 60 between Karlsruhe and Salzburg.
The ÖBB - Railjet trains from Munich via Vienna to Budapest pass through the station every two hours without stopping. In addition, the ÖBB corridor trains between Salzburg and Kufstein via the Rosenheim curve do not stop here .
