The Seewald – Rotenmoos railway , also known as the Mussolini Railway , was a single-track, non-electrified, 3.20 km long connecting curve in the urban area of Friedrichshafen , which led through the Seewald and the Ulm – Friedrichshafen (southern line) railway with the Friedrichshafen – Lindau ( Bodenseegürtelbahn) connected.
history
The line was opened on October 5, 1940 to enable a connection from Ulm to Innsbruck without changing the direction of travel in the Friedrichshafen freight station. It was built especially for military freight traffic . After the end of World War II , traffic was stopped on August 10, 1950. It was then used as a siding until it was shut down on January 1, 1957 and then completely dismantled.
Routing
The route branches off to the left directly at Friedrichshafen Airport from the railway line coming from Ulm and runs past the tennis courts (street name: "Bei der Eselsbrücke") over the B 30 and then almost exactly south past the settlements through the forest. Between the commercial area and the intersection of the B 31 with the L328a, the route joins the route to Lindau from the left just before the city limits.
The route is still included in the land use plan of the city of Friedrichshafen.
future
As part of the electrification of the Ulm – Lindau route, recommissioning of the route is being discussed in order to simplify operations for freight traffic. Passenger trains are to continue to use the central Friedrichshafen city station. For example, it is mentioned in the VDV list of measures and proposed for the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030 (BVWP). However, this registration was not included in the BVWP 2030 project ABS Ulm - Friedrichshafen - Lindau (Südbahn).
In the context of an economic assessment of the access routes to the new railway through the Alps in Switzerland, the Transport + Environment advisory group calculated a benefit-cost factor of 2.3 for a new construction in 2006 . The forecast assumes 24 freight trains per day on this route for the Friedrichshafen connecting curve, which represents an increase in traffic of nine trains compared to the variant without this route. The investment costs for this measure were put at 31.7 million euros.
