The Holzkirchen – Schliersee railway line is a single-track, non-electrified main line in Bavaria . It leads from Holzkirchen via Miesbach and Hausham to Schliersee .
Route
The railway line runs from Holzkirchen first through the Munich gravel plain to Darching station, from there along the Mangfall . From the mouth of the Schlierach coming from the Schliersee , it follows this upstream to the destination Schliersee . Between the Schlierach estuary and the Miesbach train station, the route crosses the drinking water pipeline from the Mangfall area to Munich. The entire route runs through the Bavarian Oberland .
history
In 1857 the Mangfall Valley Railway was built from Munich via Holzkirchen to Rosenheim. A little later in 1861, the route to Miesbach was built from Holzkirchen to transport the coal extracted from Miesbach and Hausham. The line was initially operated as a leased railway. Shortly afterwards, the citizens of Schliersee demanded that the railway line be extended to their place in order to attract excursion guests to the place. A corresponding petition to the Bavarian King Maximilian II on June 18, 1862 was successful. After several years of construction and planning, the railway line was handed over to its destination in 1868, first to Hausham, and shortly afterwards on August 1, 1869 to Schliersee. The first timetable provided for four trains a day to and from Munich. In 1911, the railway line to Bayrischzell was built from Schliersee, which the market town of Schliersee resisted for a long time, fearing that tourists would continue to travel in the future and would "ignore Schliersee". Because of the cramped conditions in the village and along the eastern shore of the lake, the route to Bayrischzell could not be continued immediately south. Instead, it was built around the lake in the north and along the west bank to Neuhaus. Since then, Schliersee station has been operated as a switchback station.
Current operation (2013)
Since 1998 the route has been operated by the Bayerische Oberlandbahn , which offers through trains from Munich to Bayrischzell. The travel time from Munich to Schliersee is around 55 minutes. The trains coming from Munich are winged in Holzkirchen ; One part of the train travels in the direction of Schliersee / Bayrischzell, the other two parts of the train first travel on the Holzkirchen – Lenggries railway to Schaftlach , where they are then split up and finally to Lenggries or the Schaftlach – Tegernsee railway to Tegernsee . In the direction of Munich, the train parts are reunited in the reverse order. In the rush hour there are individual repeater trains that only run to Schliersee.
Future prospects
According to the concept of the Bavarian state government for more electromobility on the rails in Bavaria, Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann proposed the route for electrification from a Bavarian perspective.
