The railway line Břeclav – Hrušovany nad Jevišovkou is a single-track branch line ("regionální dráha") and former main line ("celostátní dráha") in the Czech Republic , which was originally built by the kk priv. Lundenburg-Nikolsburg-Grußbacher railway . It runs in southern Moravia from Břeclav ( Lundenburg ) via Valtice ( Feldsberg ) and Mikulov ( Nikolsburg ) to Hrušovany nad Jevišovkou ( Grußbach ).
history
On September 4, 1870, the concession for a "Locomotive train from Lundenburg following the exclusive private Kaiser Ferdinands-Nordbahn via Nicolsburg to Grußbach for connection to the supplementary network of the privately owned Austrian State Railroad Company" was granted. This included the obligation to start construction within six months and complete it within two years.
The line was opened on December 30, 1872. The operation was initially run by the kk priv. Kaiser Ferdinands-Nordbahn (KFNB), and from 14 July 1874 by the kk priv. Österreichische Nordwestbahn (ÖNWB). On December 8, 1873, the branching line to Zellerndorf was opened.
On April 15, 1876, the line finally became the property of KFNB, which also took over management again. After the nationalization of the KFNB, the line came into the ownership of the kk Staatsbahnen (kkStB) in 1906 .
After the First World War , the entire railway area was claimed by Czechoslovakia , although part of the line near Feldsberg (Valtice) also ran in Lower Austria . Austria then offered Czechoslovakia to re-route the route across Moravian territory at its own expense, which was rejected by the Czechoslovak side. In the peace treaty of St. Germain , Feldsberg and the neighboring communities of Czechoslovakia were therefore awarded. The newly founded Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD) were now owned and operated .
On October 5, 1930, the branch line towards Zellerndorf, which had become insignificant due to the newly created border, was shut down and shortly thereafter dismantled.
After the Sudetenland was annexed to Germany in autumn 1938, the line came to the Deutsche Reichsbahn , Reichsbahndirektion Wien . In the imperial course book the connection was now included as KBS 462v Lundenburg – Grußbach-Schöngrafenau – Znaim . After the end of World War II , the line came back to the ČSD.
A special situation arose with the erection of the iron curtain from the 1950s. The border fence that was erected at the time was located between Sedlec u Mikulova and Mikulov directly on the track of the railway line.
In 1993 the route was transferred to České dráhy (CD) as a result of the division of Czechoslovakia into the independent states of the Czech Republic and Slovakia .
Today the route is only of regional importance. The 2009 timetable lists a total of 15 pairs of passenger trains on the route Břeclav - Znojmo on weekdays , which run every hour . The trains were almost exclusively carried by the ČD class 842 railcars , and diesel locomotives from the ČD class 714 were only used in exceptional cases .
From 2017 to June 2019, the section between Břeclav and Mikulov was extensively modernized. In addition to the renewal of tracks and systems, the Sedlec u Mikulova plant was built closer to the site and set up as a crossing station. After the work was completed, the line speed was increased from 80 to 120 km / h.
Route description
Between Boří les and Valtice město , the route uses the route of the former baroque Landshuter Allee for a few kilometers , which, starting from Valtice, aimed straight to the east towards Lanžhot (then: Landshut ). The railway line Břeclav – Hrušovany nad Jevišovkou opens up the southern part of the Lednice-Valtice cultural landscape .
