Swell:

The Munich East – Deisenhofen line is a double-track, electrified main line in Bavaria . It connects the Munich Ost Pbf train station with the Deisenhofen train station and was opened on October 10, 1898.

history

An original design from 1892, first saw the construction of a railway line before the underpass Leuchtenbergring had in the urban area to the east in the area of today's diverted, then east of Berg am Laim south towards the then Baumkirchen would be bent and finally Perlach should be performed and in the further course would have essentially corresponded to today's route to Aying . In November 1894, however, the government initially gave preference to building the line to Deisenhofen. This was then built as a single-track line, connected to the then Maximiliansbahn in Deisenhofen and operated as a suburban railway typical of the time. The trains only ran as far as Deisenhofen, and you could only continue your journey by changing trains. In the times of steam locomotives, a. Locomotives of the DR-class 64 used later locomotives of the series 211 and 212 . On May 15, 1934, the stop in Furth was added.

Balanstrasse with two separate bridges for this route

In preparation for the S-Bahn operation, this and the south adjoining route to Holzkirchen was opened on Sep 29. Electrified in 1968. In the following years, the two-track expansion took place, with two new tracks being built in the inner part of the urban area parallel to the previous single-track line, which can still be seen in some places (separate branching out, bridges over Balan- and Werinherstrasse).

DB class 515

At this time, battery-powered railcars of the 515 series were also used. The expansions were completed in time for the Olympics and the S-Bahn began operating on May 28, 1972 with the so-called Olympic cars . This was also when the St.-Martin-Straße and Fasanenpark stops were added.

Routing

The two S-Bahn tracks in the north-western area of the Ostbahnhof extend south-west and have their own bridge over Rosenheimer Straße, whereas the third track on the other side of the station extends from the marshalling yard and crosses the street together with the tracks of the Südring . Then the S-Bahn tracks cross those of the Südring so that all three tracks in the area of Balanstraße run parallel from there. The access ramps to these bridges and overpass structures are the only significant inclines on this route, which otherwise leads through largely flat landscape. The route then turns in a wide arc past the Ostfriedhof to the south. In this area between Ostbahnhof and just before the bridge over Chiemgaustraße, the third track runs without platforms at the two S-Bahn stops at St-Martin-Str. and Munich-Giesing. It is mainly used for freight transport to several companies with siding. This is still partially the case south of the bridge until the branch to the Kreuzstraße. There is also a siding to the main tram workshop . After Fasanenpark (to Unterhaching ), the first stop outside of Munich, the route turns in a plurality of gentle curves gradually southwest direction, crosses the A995 and bends shortly before Deisenhofen direction SSE from, it that parallel to the Munich-Holzkirchen railway their End point reached.

traffic

Today the railway line is used by the Munich S-Bahn trains. Along its entire length, it is of the train - line S3 Mammendorf -Ostbahnhof-Deisenhofen- Holzkirchen operated. (In connection with S-Bahn traffic and urban transport, the Munich East station is communicated as the Ostbahnhof .) The S7 Wolfratshausen - Kreuzstraße also runs on the route between Ostbahnhof and Munich-Giesing (as of 2018). In addition, in the same area there is a third parallel track for goods transport, the course of which partly corresponds to that of the earlier local railway line. Occasionally there are also special trips with locomotive-hauled trains, which start from Giesing, platform 1.

particularities

Overpass structure in Giesing

Between the Ostbahnhof and the flyover structure between the Munich-Giesing and Fasangarten stops , the route is one of the few in Germany with left-hand traffic . This special feature enables the S-Bahn at Ostbahnhof to merge into the main S-Bahn line while simultaneously changing direction without crossing oncoming traffic. The overpass creates the transition to regular right-hand traffic on the rest of the route. The Munich-Giesing – Kreuzstrasse railway also branches off in the area of this overpass structure . Another special feature is that almost all the station buildings along the route have been renovated to this day, but have largely been preserved in their original condition and some are under monument protection (example: Giesinger Bahnhof ).
