The Weil am Rhein – Lörrach railway is an electrified main line in Baden-Württemberg . It leads in the border triangle near Basel from Weil am Rhein on the Rhine Valley Railway through the Tüllinger Berg to Lörrach-Stetten on the Wiesental Railway . The continuation of the bypass line was the now closed Wehratalbahn , which branched off from the Wiesentalbahn near Schopfheim to Bad Säckingen on the Hochrheinbahn .

history

The Weil am Rhein – Lörrach railway line was opened on May 20, 1890 by the Baden State Railway as a strategic railway to bypass Switzerland . On February 11, 1878, a railway line between Weil and St. Ludwig went into operation, connecting Alsace , which was conquered in the Franco-Prussian War , with the Reich in the far south. The connection crossed the Rhine via the Palmrain Bridge, which was used by the railway until 1937 . This section of the railway was connected in 1890 to the chain of strategic railway lines built by southern Germany .

The first step towards expansion for S-Bahn traffic was taken in 1999 with the opening of the Weil am Rhein Gartenstadt and Weil am Rhein Pfädlistraße stops .

Since June 15, 2003, SBB GmbH , the German passenger transport subsidiary of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), has been the responsible railway company (EVU). Local rail passenger transport (SPNV) on the garden railway has since been integrated into the Basel S-Bahn network as the S5 . The responsible railway infrastructure company (EIU) is still DB Netz AG .

With the timetable change on December 12, 2004, the S5 was extended beyond Lörrach Hauptbahnhof to Steinen . On June 12, 2005, the new Lörrach Dammstrasse stop went into operation.

Since autumn 2005, multiple units of the type Stadler Flirt (Swiss class RABe 521, German class 429 ) have been in use on the line, which finally replaced the RBDe 561 NPZ sets, modified as a transitional solution for use in Germany , in March 2006.
