history

Planning and construction

As early as 1840 there were plans to run the Bavarian Maximiliansbahn from Munich to Salzburg via Glonn. In 1850, however, it was decided to instead lead the route via Holzkirchen and the Mangfalltal in order to better connect the coal fields in Miesbach . Glonn also did not serve the railway line from Munich via Grafing to Rosenheim , which opened on October 15, 1871 .

Ceremonial opening of Glonn train station on May 26, 1894

On April 28, 1891, a railway committee was founded in the Gasthaus zur Post in Glonn under the chairmanship of Landtag member Wolfgang Wagner , which campaigned for a rail connection for Glonn and other communities. The planning of the railway line was approved by the responsible State Ministry in June 1891. The railway committee commissioned the Localbahn-Aktiengesellschaft to submit a general project. However, these plans were revised in December of the same year, as it was only then that it was clear that the line was to be built as a state local railway. The affected communities were responsible for guaranteeing the land required for the construction. Construction of the line began on August 2, 1893 and was carried out with around 270, and even 370 construction workers for the laying of the superstructure. The substructure was built with gravel from the gravel pits in the area and from the railway cuttings. Planning and construction cost a total of 577,400 marks , of which 27,500 marks were planned as a reserve.

On May 26, 1894 at 12 noon, the first train rolled into Glonn and the line went into operation. The day of the opening was officially declared a “general holiday” in Glonn. The Royal Bavarian State Railways began regular operations one day after the opening. However, the spread of the nun's caterpillars could be contained, so that the route was no longer needed for the removal of wood.

The railway line was initially assigned two tank locomotives , four passenger cars and three baggage cars, but the reserve locomotive was canceled in 1902. Locomotives of the classes D XI and PtL 2/2 were used around 1913 , later also the class Pt 2/3 . Around 1955 these were then slowly replaced by the VT 98 rail buses . From May 30, 1964, there were no longer any freight trains with passenger transport .

In the early days of the railway line, passenger traffic on the Royal Bavarian State Railways developed positively, while the volume of goods remained constant. The route produced a return of 0.5 to 2% almost annually. In freight traffic, the import of logs to Moosach near Grafing dominated. It was even planned to integrate the Grafing – Glonn local railway into a connection from Erding via Ebersberg and Bad Aibling to Rosenheim . However, the first rumors of closure arose in the 1930s. During the Second World War , the railway suffered no major damage. After the war, three pairs of trains ran again on the route. The train service improved from year to year, in 1953 10 pairs of trains were planned in the timetable, in these years the steam locomotives were replaced. In 1963 there were ten pairs of trains on weekdays and eight pairs of trains on Sundays, and rail buses were used.

However, the Deutsche Bundesbahn planned to cease operations between Glonn and Grafing. The residents of Glonn campaigned for the railway line and were initially able to prevent its closure.

Shutdown

In 1958 there was a drop in passengers from 1200 to 600 travelers per day. Around 1965 the trains were occupied by an average of 30 passengers, only 25% of the costs were covered, individual traffic increased and a complete renovation of the superstructure was necessary. In addition, a bus line from Grafing to Glonn was set up. Therefore, the German Federal Railroad applied for the closure of the line in 1966, which was approved in March 1969. On May 31, 1970, the Deutsche Bundesbahn stopped passenger traffic, and goods traffic followed on May 23, 1971. The railway line was dismantled in May and June of the same year.

Operating points

Grafing train station

When the construction of the branch line to Glonn began, the two new tracks 5 and 6 including an intermediate platform were built. The existing platform between track 4 and track 5 could be reached by means of the underpass, the intermediate platform between track 5 and track 6 was only reached by crossing a transition on the track. Shortly after the line was dismantled, the intermediate platform was removed as the line was dismantled. Track 6, where the trains to and from Glonn stopped, is now used as a siding.

In Grafing Bahnhof, the branch line to Wasserburg branches off the main line from Munich to Rosenheim .

The Taglaching stop was east of the forest road from Taglaching to Aßling, right next to the village, and had a platform track. In contrast to the Zinneberg stop, it was not a necessary stop . In addition, the Taglaching und Umgebung eGmbH milk processing cooperative, with its milk collection point founded here, loaded milk into passenger trains directly on the main track until 1952. The loading house and the platform edge are still preserved.

Moosach (b Grafing)

Listed station building in Moosach

The Moosach train station (b Grafing) was built with an alternative and a stump track , a weighbridge and a side ramp . It is located on Bahnhofstrasse in Moosach, 500 meters east of the town center. Later a siding for the sawmill in Guterstätt was added. The station building, which still stands today, was equipped with a service room and a waiting room, and a goods shed was attached to the building .

Today there is a memorial next to the platform edge, which consists of a piece of track with a former passenger car and the old station building.

Zinneberg

At km 9.0, the breakpoint and was required maintenance Adling . It was renamed Zinneberg-Adling on May 1, 1898 , closed again in 1923 and reopened as Zinneberg in August 1927 . It was close to the road from Grafing via Bruck to Glonn in the section between Westerndorf and Glonn, below Zinneberg Castle . It had a platform track, and a siding was built by 1912.

Glonn

The end of the route is Glonn train station at 10.6 km. It had three station tracks, two locomotive shed tracks , an open loading track and a freight hall track. Up until May 22, 1954, there was a Bw branch at Glonn station , the rail vehicles were relocated to the Wasserburg (Inn) Stadt Bw branch and the Rosenheim Bw . Track 1 was an open loading track on a loading route and was equipped with a weighbridge with loading gauge. Track 2 was the continuous main track, and it was also the platform track. At track 3 there was a side ramp for loading and unloading goods. The storage shed and also the locomotive shed were on track 4 ; the coaling of the steam locomotives took place in front of it.

The reception building housed a service room and two apartments (1327 m 3 ); in the extension there was a waiting room, an open waiting hall, a laundry room and public toilets.

The listed former engine shed has been preserved and is now used as a residential building. At the station square in Glonn and at two other places, information boards provide information about the former railway line.

Accidents

Between Zinneberg and Moosach, the first early train from Glonn to Grafing Bahnhof derailed on March 17, 1932 for an unknown reason. The tank locomotive 70 001 slipped down the embankment. Another crash was prevented by wedging the passenger car and the general cargo car. There was no significant personal injury, but the property damage was considerable.

On August 20, 1969 at 6:50 a.m. between Moosach and Grafing, a rail bus set and an agricultural tractor collided at a level crossing near Gutterstätt. Control car 998 867 derailed, but was only slightly damaged. The tractor suffered a total write-off, the controlling farmer was killed.
