The railway Unterböbingen-Heubach (also Heubach train ) was a standard gauge branch line in East Württemberg . From 1920 to 1975 it connected Böbingen , where it branched off from the Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt-Nördlingen railway line, with Heubach .
history
After the Heubach industry had been pushing for a rail connection for decades, the construction of the line began as part of emergency work after the First World War and the connection was opened on October 30, 1920. It was operated by the Deutsche Reichsbahn . In the 1950s, the passenger trains ran partially continuously from Heubach to Schwäbisch Gmünd on the Remsbahn; in addition, a pair of trains operated as a “Sunday excursion train ” between Stuttgart and Heubach.
Passenger traffic was stopped on October 1, 1972, and goods traffic followed in 1975. The final line closure was completed on May 30, 1976. In the local area of Böbingen, the old route is partly built over by Klotzbachstrasse and between Böbingen and Mögglinger Strasse by a connecting road Böbingen – Heubach. The course of the route is still clearly visible over almost the entire length. In Böbingen a monument in the form of an overturned signal mast reminds of the railway. For the Remstal garden show 2019 , the park was laid out along the old embankment .
