The Bieberehren – Creglingen line was a branch line in Franconia that crossed the border from Bieberehren in Bavaria to Creglingen in Baden-Württemberg . The 6.14 km long and standard gauge branch line branched in Bieberehren from the Gaubahn from with which it was operationally always closely linked, and followed from there the course of the Tauber upstream.
history
After Bieberehren was already connected to the railway network by the Gaubahn from 1907, Creglingen was finally also connected to the route covered here on November 17, 1909. Although two thirds of the route lay in the Bavarian region, it was built and operated by the Royal Württemberg State Railways . Further plans to extend the line to Rothenburg ob der Tauber and to link it there with the Steinach near Rothenburg – Dombühl line , however, could never be realized.
On February 1, 1967, what was then the Deutsche Bundesbahn stopped passenger traffic and replaced it with rail buses . There was still limited freight traffic until May 30, 1992, before it was completely shut down. The route between Reinsbronn and Creglingen was then redesigned into a railway cycle path .

Bieberehren
The former Bieberehren train station ( ⊙ ) was on the northern outskirts of Bieberehren.
Reinsbronn
The former Reinsbronn train station ( ⊙ ) was at 2.16 km. Although Reinsbronn is in Baden-Württemberg, the station was located in the municipality of Bieberehren in the district of Würzburg in Bavaria, at the confluence of State Road 2256 with State Road 2268. The station building, just like those in Tauberrettersheim and Schäftersheim, was owned by the Royal Württembergische State railways built. Unlike the Bavarian railroad structures on the neighboring Gaubahn, these are not made of wood, but stone. Outside the sugar beet season, the open freight cars were parked on a loading track .
Sound
The former stopping point Klingen ( ⊙ ) was at route kilometer 3.8, just outside the south-east of the village of Klingen on Talweg. The service of the breakpoint was stopped in 1924 due to a lack of profitability.
Creglingen
The former Creglingen station ( ⊙ ) was on the 6.14 kilometer of the Gaubahn branch line from Bieberehren to Creglingen, on the northern side of the Tauber on the L 2251 (Bad Mergentheimer Strasse). The station was equipped with an administration building, an attached goods shed and ramp, an outbuilding with lounges and overnight rooms, a locomotive shed and a turntable , as well as a spacious loading area. The station building was demolished in 1983 and is now a shopping center.
