history

With the opening of the railway line from Munich via Freising to Landshut in 1858, the remote town of Erding, which had previously been an important grain market, lost its importance in favor of Freising . When the planning for a main line from Munich east to the Austrian border began in the early 1860s , the notables of the city of Erding therefore advocated a route via Erding. In 1863, however, the General Directorate of the Royal Transport Authority and the Bavarian State Parliament decided on a more direct route via Neuötting to Simbach am Inn , which led past Erding to the south. As an alternative, the Erdingen city administration considered building a branch line to Erding at its own expense in February 1866. In the same year she proposed the establishment of a rail connection from Landshut via Erding to Rosenheim by the Actiengesellschaft der Bavarian Eastern Railways , which was rejected by Minister Gustav von Schlör as a rival route to the Bavarian State Railways.

In order to connect the city to the rail network, on March 8, 1869, the city received the promise that a Vizinalbahn would be built from Schwaben (today Markt Schwaben ) to Erding. The contract to build this railway was signed on May 9th, 1870 by the city of Erding and the General Management of the Royal Bavarian Transport Authority . The railway line was opened on November 16, 1872.

It branches off the Munich East – Simbach line at Markt Schwaben station and runs north. The next stop is the Ottenhofen junction station . The Wifling stop, which opened in 1922, was decommissioned on May 22, 1971. This is followed by the St. Koloman stop, which was opened on June 1, 1890, and the Aufhausen stop , which has been part of the Erding city area since 1972. Today's Altenerding station was opened as a stop on May 1, 1899 in what was then an independent community and expanded to become a crossing station by 1981 as part of the introduction of the 20-minute cycle of the Munich S-Bahn . Following the Erding train station, a siding formerly led to the Erding Air Base . The route is single-track throughout, with crossings at the Ottenhofen and Altenerding stations. In addition to the two platform tracks, the Erding terminus also has sidings.

On September 7, 1970, the German Federal Railroad began electrical operations on the Markt Schwaben – Erding line. The route has been part of the Munich S-Bahn since 1972 . On May 1, 1981, the Deutsche Bundesbahn upgraded the previous branch line to a main line .

As part of the Erdinger Ringschluss railway project, the railway line is to be extended to the north-west of Munich Airport by 2029 . With the construction of the Walpertskirchener Spange , a second connection to the Munich – Simbach railway line to the east is also planned, which will enable direct trains to be run from south-east Bavaria.

In Altenerding, the Altenerding – Pfrombach railway line built for the construction of the Middle Isar Canal branched off , but operations on it ceased in 1967.
