The Neuf-Brisach – Bantzenheim line was a single-track railway line in Alsace in the Upper Rhine Plain . The route in the French department of Haut-Rhin connected the communities of Neuf-Brisach (German: Neubreisach ), Volgelsheim , Fessenheim and Bantzenheim (German: Banzenheim ).

history

In 1880 the Reichseisenbahnen in Alsace-Lorraine had built a station on the site of the municipality of Volgelsheim, which was called Neubreisach Feldbahnhof due to its proximity to the town of Neuf-Brisach (German: Neubreisach ) . This is where the line , built by the German military in 1917, branched off from the Freiburg – Colmar railway to the south and ran parallel to the Upper Rhine to the west .

The destination was the Bantzenheim (German: Banzenheim ) station, which had already been opened on February 6, 1878, together with the Müllheim – Mulhouse railway, also by the Reichseisenbahnen in Alsace-Lorraine .

After the end of the First World War , the route came into the possession of the Réseau ferroviaire d'Alsace-Lorraine in 1919 , before it was nationalized in 1938 by the Société nationale des chemins de fer français .

Passenger traffic was discontinued as early as 1946, and the route was then only used for freight traffic. At the beginning of the 1990s, the route was largely in place, albeit largely without traffic. Only a remnant piece still serves as a siding for the Fessenheim nuclear power plant ; the tracks between Volgelsheim and Fessenheim have meanwhile been dismantled.

The Neubreisach field station was first renamed Neuf-Brisach in 1918, then in 1993 by the Chemin de Fer Touristique du Rhin (CFTR) museum railway in Volgelsheim .
