The Schliersee – Bayrischzell railway is a single-track, non-electrified branch line in Bavaria . The railway line connects Schliersee with Bayrischzell and is now served by the Bavarian Oberlandbahn (BOB). The BOB offers through trains to Munich Hbf .
history
On October 15, 1903, plans began to extend the Holzkirchen – Schliersee railway to Bayrischzell. Initially, there were several ways to connect Bavarian Zell's, of Westerham by Leitzachtal from Miesbach on Fischbachau from Gmund about Hausham to Bayrischzell. In the end, the decision was made for today's route. Construction work finally began in May 1910. On August 14, 1911, the first section from Schliersee to Fischbachau was put into operation. On October 1st of the same year, the section to Bayrischzell was completed and the line was officially opened. From 1925 to 1930 the electrification of the line was applied for, but this was rejected by the Deutsche Reichsbahn . In 1945 the railway line was interrupted for over a year after a landslide south of Schliersee am Westerberg. In the 1950s and 1960s, up to 6 special trains chartered by Sporthaus Scheck drove in the morning from Munich to Bayrischzell and back in the evening on winter weekends . From the 1970s, the closure of the route was discussed because of falling passenger numbers. A significant dismantling of the tracks in Schliersee station took place in the 1980s. In March 1989, the last very weak and only when required - with locomotives of the 333 series - stopped. On November 1, 1998, the Bayerische Oberlandbahn took over operations on the line; it was able to triple the number of passengers in a short time. On nice weekends, the onslaught of day trippers is sometimes so great that passengers can no longer get on. Both an electrification of the route and a compression to half an hourly intervals required by the Miesbach district are rejected by the state transport ministry despite urgent need. A planned trial of e-tenders or cordless locomotives is not yet financially secure and could also fail due to a lack of a producer.
Current operation
The Bayerische Oberlandbahn offers an hourly service between Munich and Bayrischzell from Munich from 6:04 am to 0:04 am. In the opposite direction, trains run from Bayrischzell from 4:49 a.m. to 10:32 p.m. In addition, individual amplifier trains are used during rush hour between Schliersee and Munich.
The railway company uses vehicles of the Integral and Talent types .

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 at the beginning of 2018 .
