The Hamburg-Altona-Kiel railway line is the oldest railway line in Schleswig-Holstein . Today it connects Hamburg , Elmshorn , Neumünster and Kiel .
course
The zero point of the kilometering is at the original terminus , the reception building of which is now the Altona district hall . Today's tour starts at the terminal station Hamburg-Altona . Parallel to this is the route of the Hamburg S-Bahn with lines S 3 and (from Diebsteich ) S 21.
Pinneberg is the first stop on the long-distance railway line. There is a possibility to change to the S-Bahn. In Elmshorn, the march line to the North Sea coast and the railway line to Henstedt-Ulzburg branch off .
Further north, in Neumünster , there are transfer options to Flensburg , direction Heide - Büsum , direction Bad Segeberg and Bad Oldesloe and to the AKN direction Kaltenkirchen - Hamburg-Eidelstedt . Freight and express trains in Scandinavian traffic do not run via Kiel, but rather use the fully electrified route from Neumünster to the Danish border near Flensburg. Bordesholm station is not a long-distance stop . From Kiel you can use the regional routes to Lübeck , Flensburg , Husum or Kiel-Oppendorf .
history
The line was built from 1842 by the Altona-Kieler Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (AKE). The 108-kilometer route was opened on September 18, 1844, the birthday of the Danish King Christian VIII . The AKE was initially responsible for operations until it was taken over by the Prussian state or the Prussian State Railways on January 1, 1887. After further successive takeovers by the Deutsche Reichsbahn and the Deutsche Bundesbahn, the current line is owned by DB Netz AG .
From July 3, 1944, according to the timetable, there were 7-10 connections daily from Kiel to Hamburg and 8-10 from Hamburg to Kiel with travel times between 1 hour 50 minutes (stop only in Elmshorn, Wrist, Neumünster) and 2 hours 48 minutes (16 stops on the way).
On September 24, 1995, the electrification of the 109-kilometer line went into operation. Before that, the journey took 100 minutes and a change was necessary. Now it was possible to get from Hamburg to Kiel in 76 minutes without changing. The Hamburg-Altona station was replaced by the Hamburg main station as the starting station for all passenger trains that regularly run to Kiel. For the first time, Kiel was served by ICE trains with two pairs of trains a day , with a travel time of 61 minutes.
Since the timetable change on December 9, 2012, trains with a maximum length of 835 meters can run on the route between all operating points between Maschen and Padborg after prior consultation; previously only 740 meter long trains were allowed.
outlook
The section between Neumünster and Hamburg is to be equipped with ETCS by 2025 . The largest possible sections should be equipped with ETCS Level 2 .
Today's operation
Along the entire length of the route or from Hamburg to Neumünster, in addition to freight traffic and ICE / IC / EC long-distance traffic, regional trains from various railway companies , including Deutsche Bahn AG and Regionalbahn Schleswig-Holstein, run . There are also trains of the Danske Statsbaner from Aarhus and København via Neumünster to Hamburg Central Station.
The trains used on the route meet the usual standards of the railway companies. From December 14, 2008, the proportion of regional express trains with double -decker coaches (so-called "Dostos") was increased. Today all RE trains run with double-deck coaches. ICE / EC and IC trains between Hamburg and Denmark or Kiel usually also stop in Neumünster .
On April 4, 2009, DB Regio took over regional traffic Kiel – Neumünster again from the Nord-Ostsee-Bahn (NOB), in exchange for passenger traffic in the Kiel – Eckernförde section , where the DB Regio operates again with BR 648 multiple units. The aim was to rationalize vehicle circulation. The Kiel / Neumünster regional train, which was run as the RB 77, was driven by a class 112 or 143 electric locomotive and a five-part SHE set consisting of a 1st class intermediate car, three 2nd class intermediate cars and a control car.
The RB 71 line has been running on the Wrist – Hamburg-Altona route since December 2014. It is served by the Nordbahn Eisenbahngesellschaft with electric Flirt multiple units every hour. The Wrist station received an additional turning track.
Since the timetable change in December 2017, the locomotive-hauled trains on the RE7 and RE70 lines have been successively replaced by four-part, double-decker electric multiple units of the 445 series . The previous regional train line 77 was integrated into the wing concept of the RE7 line, which now runs between Hamburg and Neumünster with one train part each to Flensburg and Kiel. In Neumünster the train is divided, for which the station has been specially equipped with a co- driver system for signaling . With the wing concept, there are now half-hourly direct connections between Hamburg and Kiel during the day together with the RE70.
In long-distance traffic between Hamburg and Kiel ICE trains of the first and fourth generation, as well as IC and EC with electric locomotives of the series 101 of the DB or 193 of the CD and eight to eleven cars run. Between Hamburg and Flensburg there will be five daily (seven in the summer seven) Danish IC3 trains in each direction on the Hamburg - Fredericia - Aarhus and København route in 2020. Due to route conflicts, the trains from / to Aarhus do not stop in Neumünster and Schleswig, but alternatively in Hamburg-Dammtor and Rendsburg and the trains from / to København do not stop between Flensburg and Hamburg Central Station, with the exception of the nocturnal train pair that only runs in the summer period, which also stops in Neumünster and Kiel.
