history

Course of important railway lines around Munich (1861)

The railway line was built as part of the Bavarian Maximiliansbahn . The Munich – Holzkirchen route, together with today's Mangfall Valley Railway, forms the Munich – Rosenheim section. The section between Munich and Rosenheim was planned between 1840 and 1850. The first section built was that from Munich to Hesselohe , which was in operation from 1854. At that time, the line branched off from the Augsburg line to the south at the height of Max-Friedländer-Bogen / Schrenkstrasse . In today's Ganghoferstrasse , the track then ran south and met the route to Großhesseloher Brücke east of Heimeranplatz station . The stretch was replaced by the current route around 1860 and later shut down. For the rest of the route to Rosenheim, a guided tour via Glonn and Kirchdorf am Haunpold was planned. After approval in 1850, the line was finally built via Holzkirchen. This complied with the plans of the railway association founded by Joseph Anton von Maffei in 1850 , which wanted to bring the line closer to the coal mining areas near Miesbach . Construction on the Großhesseloher Bridge began in 1851, and when it opened it was the second highest railway bridge in the world. From 1852 the Bavarian state was responsible for the financing because the association got into financial difficulties. The entire route to Rosenheim was opened in 1857. With the opening of the shorter Munich – Rosenheim railway via Grafing in 1871, the railway lost traffic. From 1891 the railway line was crossed by the Isar Valley Railway , which ran parallel to the river. In 1968 the line was electrified . In 1981 the Großhesselohe station was shut down because, after several renovations, the Isar Valley Railway with its Großhesseloher Isar Valley station was fully integrated into the S-Bahn network.

The railway line is now integrated into the network of the Munich S-Bahn , and it is also used by the trains of the Bavarian Oberlandbahn (BOB) and serves as a diversion route to and from Rosenheim.

Routing

The route leaves Munich Central Station heading west along the main S-Bahn line. In front of the Munich Donnersbergerbrücke train station , the track out of town will be routed over the track of the S-Bahn main line leading into town with a flyover structure , in order to enable platform-level connections at Donnersbergerbrücke. Immediately after the Donnersbergerbrücke , the tracks disappear underground and cross both the lines leading from the main station to the west and the connecting line from the main station to the east station ( Südring ), which the line then follows. After Heimeranplatz, the route turns away from the Südring and runs south, forming the border between the districts of Sendling and Sendling-Westpark . Between the Harras and Mittersendling stops, the connecting line from Munich-Pasing station joins the line that has been running west of the line since Heimeranplatz. Then it reaches Thalkirchen-Obersendling-Forstenried-Fürstenried-Solln . After the Solln stop, the route to Wolfratshausen now branches off. This is the southern branch of the Isar Valley Railway, which originally crossed the Maximilians Railway here without a track connection. The north branch of the Isar Valley Railway has been abandoned. The route towards Holzkirchen now runs east, crosses the Isar on the Großhesseloher bridge and crosses the Perlacher forest . In Deisenhofen it meets the Munich East – Deisenhofen railway line . As far as the next stop in Sauerlach , the route runs in a south-easterly direction through a forest area and then turns south again to reach Otterfing along the west side of the Hofoldinger Forest and shortly afterwards Holzkirchen .

The entire length of the route is operated by the Bavarian Oberlandbahn (BOB) every hour. The trains only stop at the intermediate stops at Donnersbergerbrücke, Harras and Siemenswerke, some trains also stop in Otterfing. On Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, the Solln stop is served instead of the Siemenswerke station. The BOB trains run beyond Holzkirchen in the direction of Bayrischzell , Tegernsee and Lenggries . The BOB is DMUs of types Integral S5D95 and talent one.

Between Donnersbergerbrücke and Solln, the line S7 of the Munich S-Bahn runs every twenty minutes. The S7 comes from the main line at the Donnersbergerbrücke and branches off in Solln onto the former Isar Valley Railway towards Wolfratshausen. She serves all stations. Coming from the Pasing direction , the S20 , which only runs during rush hour , also operates the route to Solln and then takes the Isar Valley Railway to Höllriegelskreuth . Since there is only a platform on the Sendlinger Spange from Pasing at Heimeranplatz, this line does not stop at Harras, although the connecting curve here is right next to the Munich – Holzkirchen route. Only at Mittersendling station does she turn from the Sendlinger Spange onto the tracks of the Holzkirchen route. The section between Holzkirchen and Deisenhofen is served by the S3, which runs from Deisenhofen on the Munich East – Deisenhofen railway towards the city center. On the S7 trains EMUs of series 423 , on the S20 is the 420 series are used.

Until December 14, 2013, the route from Munich Central Station to Deisenhofen was served every hour by the S27 line. The S20 also drove from Solln to Deisenhofen instead of turning onto the Isar Valley Railway. As of December 15, 2013, the S27 was replaced by the BOB's Meridian trains. The meridian should run from Munich via Deisenhofen to Holzkirchen and then via the Mangfall Valley Railway to Rosenheim from the timetable change . Due to initial registration problems with the Flirt 3 type electric multiple units , they could only start operating on this route in 2014.
