The Brno – Tišnov railway was a main line in today's Czech Republic , originally built and operated by the Austrian-Hungarian state railway company (StEG) as the local Brno – Tischnowitz line. It led from Brno ( Brno ) to Tišnov ( Tischnowitz) . The line was replaced in 1953 by the new double-track main line Brno – Havlíčkův Brod . In the urban area of ​​Brno in particular, parts of the route are still used as a connecting railway.

history

The StEG received the concession for the local railway Brünn – Tischnowitz on January 15, 1884 together with the Rudelsdorf – Landskron line . Part of the concession was the obligation to “ complete the routes and hand them over to public transport ” by December 31, 1884 . The license was issued until December 31, 1965. The line was opened on July 2, 1885. The StEG carried out the operation itself.

The train ran from the StEG station in Brno on the existing Brno-Česká Třebová ( Böhmisch Trübau ) line to ul.Spitálka ( Spitalstrasse ), where it branched off to the north (its own route only begins here) and ran along the Svitava ( Zwitta ) via Husovice ( Hussowitz ) and Královo Pole ( Königsfeld ) to Tišnov ( Tischnowitz ). In 1890, the route was extended from the new Posvítavská junction to the south along the Svitava exclusively for freight traffic. However, passenger trains always started and ended in the state railway station. On the Brno – Vlárský průsmyk ( Wlarapass ) line, a branch to the Rossitz train station was created, and further south the slaughterhouse and other factories were connected.

In Tischnowitz the line was later connected to Deutsch Brod, the company operating as the local railway Deutschbrod – Saar (Czech: Místní dráha Německý Brod – Žďár ) took the Německý Brod – Žďár ( Deutsch Brod – Saar ) line into operation on December 22, 1898 . Later, the company also received a concession to continue the line towards Brno and on June 23, 1905, the Žďár – Tišnov railway was opened. From October 15, 1909, the kk Austrian State Railways (kkStB) carried out operations on behalf of the local railway Deutsch Brod – Tischnowitz . After the First World War, the newly founded Czechoslovak State Railways ČSD took the place of the kkStB on October 30, 1918 . On January 1, 1925, the local railway Deutsch Brod – Tischnowitz was nationalized by law and the line was integrated into the ČSD network. This finally enabled continuous operation of the entire route to Německý Brod and on to Prague.

The line was relocated between Brno and Královo Pole between 1938 and 1953, the rest of the line was rebuilt with almost the same route (see Brno – Havlíčkův Brod railway line ). After the Královo Pole-Řečkovice section had been closed on May 23, 1952, the Řečkovice-Kuřim section followed on December 9, 1953, and Kuřim-Tišnov on December 20. On May 27, 1962, the Husovice-Královo Pole staré nádraží ( old train station ) section and the two connecting curves Odbočka Křenová and Tišnovská followed. These sections were gradually removed. The connections to the routes Brno-Česká Třebová to Brno hlavní nádraží and to Brno-Vlárský průsmyk to Brno dolní nádraží no longer exist.

The remaining southern route is still used today for freight traffic as a siding. It ends in the north at “Interspar” in Brno-Zábrdovice ( Obrowitz ), is connected to Židenice by a track coming from the east and crosses the Svitava, and serves several factories at the southern end, the track ends just before ul. Černovická. On the other side of the river are the tracks of the "Komárovská spojka" . In the northern remainder there are still tracks from Královo Pole station to Kaufland Ponava, also as a connecting line for factories located there.
