Frankfurt am Main tram depots
The Frankfurt tram currently has two depots, two car halls and the central tram workshop.
Systems in operation
Central tram workshop
The Bockenheimer depot served as the main workshop from the beginning of the city's tram operation until October 1978 . Since then, the central workshop has been located in Rödelheim on Heerstraße.
After the old system no longer met the increased requirements caused by the light rail operation and the existing site could not be expanded, the new building of the light rail central workshop was opened in Rödelheim in 1978 . The construction costs amounted to around 85 million D-Marks . The approximately 80,000 square meter site is home to a track for underground processing of the wheel sets , two tracks for the GRP repair, four tracks for vehicle - paint , eight tracks for maintenance and repair , eight tracks for the conversion of vehicles, two tracks for the accident - Repairs and a one-kilometer circuit for test drives . The workshop has a size of 5,700 m². The central workshop has a rail connection to the C line of the underground network at the Heerstraße stop . In construction was of a capacity of 300 cart , assumed in future expansion up to 450 cars.
The Stadtbahn Central Workshop is designed for the repair of standard-gauge vehicles ( track width 1435 mm) and a maximum length of 30 m with a maximum width of 2.65 m and a maximum empty weight of 40 t. These properties must be taken into account when expanding the vehicle fleet in the future .
In addition to the production of spare parts, the range of services also includes vehicle conversions, as well as screen printing and film coating. The VGF also offers other road carriers repair services. 160 people are currently employed in the central workshop.
Depots
Depot east
The youngest depot in Frankfurt was opened on July 6, 2003 and is located on the southwestern edge of Seckbach , next to the route of the A 661 motorway . The depot has six hall tracks, three through tracks , seven connecting tracks and 16 sidings for up to 150 rail vehicles . The U4 line also runs through the depot between the end of the tunnel, after the Seckbacher Landstraße (Bornheim) station and the Schäfflestraße (Riederwald) station.
In June 1976 the city council of Frankfurt commissioned the city council to find a suitable location for a new " Stadtbahnbetriebshof " which had been planned since the 1960s . In December of the same year, the city council proposed a location parallel to Flinschstrasse. The planning approval procedure applied for in the following year at the Darmstadt regional council was abandoned because it turned out that a location parallel to the planned motorway would alleviate the noise pollution of the residents. Due to objections from environmentalists who wanted to prevent construction in the desired area in the triangle Wilhelmshöher Strasse, A 661 and Riederbruch due to nature conservation, the second plan approval procedure from 1981 was also terminated a year later without the plan approval being granted. After another change of the intended location, the planning was resumed in 1988, which after a long dialogue led to plan changes with conditions, as a result of which the regional council approved the plan in December 1995.
The construction could only take place under the condition of compensatory measures and strict compliance with environmental protection guidelines. These compensatory measures include a 550 meter long biotope zone on the east side of the site and a flowing water connection from Enkheimer Ried via Seckbacher Ried and Riedgraben to the pond in Ostpark , which cost 2.3 million euros and was constructed by the city drainage authority. In addition, part of the facade and the roof of the main building were planted with greenery. 3700 meters of the tracks in the open were designed as grass tracks. An originally planned, second construction phase was dispensed with, but the number of parking spaces for originally 90 cars was increased to 150.
The Federation for Environment and Nature Conservation Germany called after successful planning approval a postponement of the work, which was rejected in January 1999 by the Administrative Court. Preparations for the new depot began on November 10, 1999, and construction actually began in autumn 2000.
The 7.5 hectare site includes long, extensive track systems with 39 points and a total length of around 3100 meters, more than 100 catenary masts, a 4700 m² technical building with maintenance and washing facilities with four individually controlled washing cars and a workshop hall with five maintenance stations for different types Conditions. The washing systems use rainwater and treated wastewater. In addition, an office wing with storage rooms and a canteen belong to the depot. The buildings have a metal facade.
The new depot had become necessary because no satisfactory solution was available for three underground lines. The vehicles on the U4 underground line were stationed in the Eckenheim depot ; this condition made it necessary to drive the wide U3 cars over the narrow Eckenheimer Landstrasse for a long time . The vehicles of the underground lines U6 and U7 were at home in the Gutleut depot, which suffered from a lack of space. The insertion point, the ramp at the industrial courtyard , was very far away and required service trips via the main train station , exhibition center and Schloßstraße.
The depot is connected to the stations Seckbacher Landstrasse on the U4 line, Johanna-Tesch-Platz on the U7 line and Schäfflestrasse on the U4 and U7 lines via operating lines. The tram network is also connected to the depot via a service line that branches off in front of the tunnel at the Johanna-Tesch-Platz stop.
The depot east replaces the depots Sachsenhausen, Bornheim and partly Eckenheim and serves both the underground and the tram. All vehicles for lines U4 to U7 and 28 cars for lines 11, 12 and initially 18 are stationed here.
Since the timetable change in December 2018, route 14 has been served instead of route 18, and the vehicles on route 18 are now provided by the Gutleut depot.
Gutleut depot
In 1896 the Frankfurter Trambahn-Gesellschaft built a two-story horse tram depot near the main train station. After the tram company bought it, it was rebuilt and used by the city tram. However, since it was not able to cope with the growing demands in terms of space, a new depot for the electric tram was built in the same street in 1915.
Initially, its halls were used differently than intended and left to the war leather joint stock company. It was not until 1919 that the depot was taken over and opened by the municipal tram. The old depot was still used as a parking area and company workshop until the bus workshop moved in in 1925. From this point in time until the opening of the new bus depot in Rebstock , the old depot was the main bus workshop. After being damaged by the air raids on Frankfurt am Main in World War II , it was rebuilt and later used as a driving school and classrooms for conductors .
The new Gutleut depot, opened in 1919, had twelve hall tracks and one open track. In 1928 the depot was expanded by four additional open tracks, and in 1929 by a second hall . He now had twenty hall tracks and five open tracks. In 1936 a third hall was added for the last time, after another track had already been created. The depot thus had 29 hall tracks.
1976 to 1978 the depot was completely modernized. Instead of a triangular track , a turning loop was created that leads through the hall, as well as a new washing and inspection hall and a wheelset lathe. Two hall tracks fell victim to the modernization. The depot has had an underfloor lathe since 1998. In 2016, after a boundary wall was demolished, tracks 1–3 were extended to the property boundary on Gutleutstrasse. There are now parking spaces for three more trams.
In the Second World War, the depot severe damage suffered by air raids of the Allies . 26 railcars and 23 sidecars stationed there were destroyed and seven railcars, six sidecars and two post trams were badly damaged.
Currently, the trains on lines 11 (up to 16 cars), 12 (6 cars), 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 as well as the trains of the Ebbelwei-Express are housed in the Gutleuter depot. Furthermore, the VGF winter service vehicle 2050 is stationed in the Gutleut depot during the winter months, as its operations are handled via the depot.
Car sheds
Eckenheim car shed
The construction of the depot in Eckenheim at Schwabstrasse 16 was completed in 1911 and was expanded to 29 tracks in the following year . During the inflationary period of the 1920s , the depot was out of service from June 10, 1923 to March 9, 1924, and the tram cars at home were assigned to the Bornheim and Gutleut depots. In 1936 the paint shop of the municipal tram was relocated from the Gutleut depot to hall tracks two to five.
After the tram administration was bombed out , some of its departments were relocated to the station building of the Eckenheim depot. In addition, three sidecars were used as alternative quarters by the tram management. As the only depot in the city center, the depot survived the Second World War without damage.
At the end of the 1940s, a spray booth was built on the first track of the depot . In the years 1956/1957 the back wall of tracks 18 to 29 was demolished and the storage area was enlarged by continuing the hall tracks as open tracks. In 1957/1958 another hall track was added, which was housed in a separate hall and equipped with a wheelset lathe. From August 1, 1971 to July 2003, the wagons of the Bornheim depot were also maintained in the workshop.
In 1980 the middle hall for subway cars was expanded. This measure reduced the number of tracks to 27. On the occasion of the rebuilding of the corner Landstrasse as feeder road which was turning system rebuilt of the depot and simplified.
In May 2001, left-wing extremists carried out an arson attack on the Pt car 679 parked in the depot, which suffered a total loss . The still usable parts were removed later and the remains of the car were scrapped in 2003 .
After the opening of the depot East in July 2003, the Eckenheim depot lost its status as a depot and is now used as a parking facility for some trains on the U5 line. In addition, decommissioned rail vehicles intended for sale (currently mainly U2 and Ptb cars) are parked here. The monthly auction of lost and found items of the VGF still takes place in the Eckenheimer Depot.
By welding switches and erecting fences and gates, part of the tracks was temporarily shut down in the mid-2000s and is now rented out as a parking lot . However, the overhead line and track systems remained intact, as reactivation of the Eckenheim depot cannot be ruled out in the medium term.
The adjoining premises have been operated by the Association of Historic Tram of the City of Frankfurt am Main e. V. , who renovated these rooms on his own and partially sublet them. A conversion into a branch of the Transport Museum is conceivable in the long term.
Neu-Isenburg car shed
The four-track hall, located 200 meters north of the Neu-Isenburg terminus on line 17, served the Frankfurt Forest Railway as a depot until October 5, 1929 . In the hall, 16 four-axle forest railway cars could be parked on the 45 m long tracks.
Vehicles that were not required, initially the steam tram and later the electric tram, were parked here since 1929 . On December 20, 1943, the hall burned out completely with four motor coaches and eleven sidecars and one explosive motor coach unique in Frankfurt , but was rebuilt in 1955.
Until the opening of the Transport Museum in Schwanheim, some of the historic vehicles were housed in the Neu-Isenburg depot. Today, decommissioned and accident-damaged tram vehicles, but also historical vehicles that cannot be accommodated in Schwanheim due to the limited parking space there, are stored there. The former driving school vehicle 2000 was housed here until 2015. The P-Wagen 2050, which is equipped with a contact line wetting system for winter service, is currently in the wagon hall during the summer months.
Since the Sachsenhausen depot was closed in 2003, the depot has been the only way to park tram vehicles on the Sachsenhausen side of the Main.
A locomotive shed at the terminus with two tracks and another wooden car hall with two tracks for eight cars were demolished in 1929 in order to be able to build the turning loop that is still used today.
Moved to the subway
Bommersheim car shed
The four-track hall in Bommersheim , which is located near the Bommersheim station on the U3, was built in 1910 as a depot by the Frankfurter Lokalbahn and served as a depot for the vehicles on line 24 to Hohemark. In addition, a two-track inspection hall for minor repairs to the vehicles was built, as well as open tracks that could also be used by wagons of the later Deutsche Reichsbahn .
To mover carriage to contact, took place in 1956 the construction of a turning loop around the depot. An open track was redesigned for this purpose.
After delivery of the first Frankfurt subway car in 1966, it was put into operation in the Bommersheim car hall. The section between the Wagenhalle and Weißkirchen was used for test drives .
In 1970 the hall was extensively modernized and extended in order to be able to park two underground cars on each hall track. Here, accounted roof trusses with ornaments made of cast iron and the roof ridge located relief of an impeller. Since then, it has served as a depot for some trains on the U3 line, storage space for vehicle parts and parking space for the 2020 electric locomotive .
Heddernheim depot
The depot on Nassauer Strasse in Heddernheim was opened on May 10, 1910 after the opening of the local railway lines 24 and 25 to Bad Homburg and Oberursel . The tracks had been laid out with small radii , which led to derailments .
The depot survived the Second World War without damage. The trolleybus hall built at the beginning of the war for trolleybuses on line 60, however, was destroyed. In 1966, the former wooden hall was demolished because the passages were too narrow for the 2.65 meter wide U2 railcars . In addition, a new car washing facility was built and the track system was fundamentally changed. Since 1968, the site has housed the underground trains for lines U1 to U3 as well as the U8 and U9. In the period that followed, the depot area was greatly expanded to include additional open tracks, especially after the company Dünges & Schüssler, which was previously located right next to the signal box, had cleared its premises.
On September 28, 1980 at around 2:00 a.m., five subway cars were destroyed and seven badly damaged by an arson attack . The damage amounted to 12 million Deutschmarks. Some of the destroyed railcars still had to be dismantled on site and, with one exception, were scrapped . As a replacement, identical carriages were ordered from the manufacturer. Until they were delivered, the subway traffic had to be partially restricted due to a lack of cars. As a direct consequence of the arson attack, monitoring of the parking facilities was introduced and a separate security service was established.
Former plants
Bockenheim depot
A wooden horse-drawn tram depot with a station building for the operations management of the Frankfurt Tramway Company had stood on today's Gräfstrasse in Bockenheim in the immediate vicinity of the Bockenheimer Warte since 1883, which was supplemented by today's brick building in 1900 - after the city had bought it. The main tram workshop was housed in the adjoining hall .
On March 18 and 22, 1944, the depot was badly damaged by heavy air raids . The adjoining hall as well as eleven motor coaches and one sidecar were completely destroyed. In further air raids, another 32 motor coaches and 27 sidecars were destroyed. After the war ended, 80% of the depot was destroyed.
The reconstruction after the Second World War took twelve years. After numerous modifications and additions, the main tram workshop took over the entire depot building on February 6, 1966, with the rebuilt side hall being used as a sidecar inspection hall. In order to be able to use the workshop for U2 railcars , two hall tracks had to be pulled apart. In 1978 the main workshop moved to a new building in Rödelheim . Back in 1979, the hall was one of the first industrial monuments in the Rhine-Main area under monument protection provided.
After demolition of the ancillary structures and dismantling of the connecting points at the Bockenheimer Warte , the site served various purposes until 1987, including from 1981 to 1985 as a hostel for the Frankfurt Feldbahnmuseum and in 1986 for a guest performance by the Roncalli circus . After the line on Bockenheimer Landstrasse was dismantled in 1986 as part of the rail-free city center , all of the tracks on the site were removed. In 1988, the depot for 14 million was Deutschmark into a venue for the drama Frankfurt rebuilt. Guest performances have been taking place in the depot since 1991.
Sachsenhausen depot
The depot in Sachsenhausen was opened on April 10, 1899 as the first tram depot of the municipal tram. It replaced a horse-drawn tram depot with a station building , workshop , stable and ancillary buildings in Mühlbruchstrasse owned by the Frankfurt Tramway Company , as this could not be converted for electric trams after the city had bought FTG due to the fact that the site was too small and the track radii were too narrow.
When it opened, the depot consisted of a hall with six tracks with a track length of 610 meters for 42 railcars. In 1900 and 1907 further halls were added and the number of hall tracks increased to 20. The depot survived the Second World War with almost no damage. With two air raids on October 4, 1943 and on March 18, 1944, only a burnt instinctual , two examples and three service vehicles .
The four-part hall in Hedderichstrasse was rebuilt and modernized in 1969, whereby the brick facade of the south front was demolished. This was necessary because the narrow passages were not suitable for the P-car . An existing connection to Darmstädter Landstrasse was abandoned along with an existing track loop and replaced by a track triangle. At the beginning of the 1970s, these renovations were completed.
In 1995 the depot was the victim of vandalism , mainly from students . The reason was the introduction of the Rhine-Main Transport Association and the associated drastic increase in the prices of the tickets .
With the opening of the East Depot in 2003, the depot was shut down. At the beginning of 2006 a tender took place on the basis of which the site was sold on March 31, 2006. As a result, all track systems were removed from the halls. After a preliminary building request was approved in May of the same year and the building application submitted to the building inspectorate in August 2006, the former depot was converted into a "district center" by 2009. In the halls, with a number of additions and a parking garage were supplemented emerged apartments , a restaurant and a REWE - supermarket . Moreover, the Frankfurter Rundschau that already in April 2006 agreement was signed, and the district - Library moved into the halls.
Bornheim depot
The depot at Bornheimer Heidestrasse 137 was opened on April 4, 1902 and replaced a horse-drawn tram depot opened in 1879 and closed in 1900 at Berger Strasse 228. The depot provided twelve hall tracks and one open-air track. In 1903 and 1907, the facility was expanded to include a thirteenth hall track and 18 covered tracks . The 13th hall track was later removed.
During the Second World War , the depot was severely damaged several times by aerial bombs in the air raids on Frankfurt am Main . In air raids on October 4, 1943, January 29, 1944 and February 15, 1945, a total of nine motorcars and six sidecars were destroyed by bombs . The damage caused by air attacks was makeshiftly removed by the Wehrmacht . During the business interruption, a rail replacement service with buses was set up. The depot halls were rebuilt in unchanged form until 1952 .
In 1971 the depot was heavily rebuilt. A double-track turning loop was created on the site for the former tram lines 10 to Höchst and 20 to Bergen , as they needed a new turning point due to the construction of the U4 line . The construction of the turning loop required the demolition of the car halls with tracks 21 to 32. Tracks 14 to 19 were then used by the railway construction department and no longer for passenger cars .
From August 1, 1971, the Bornheim depot only functioned as a branch of the Eckenheim depot and was finally closed completely in June 2003. The first two vehicles of the new S series were presented here in October 2003, and the overhead line that had already been dismantled was restored on a track especially for this purpose .
As in the Sachsenhausen depot, the site was converted to other uses. Was sustained over the three-aisled main hall easily shortened and a REWE - supermarket houses, most of outbuildings have been demolished and new the area with houses built on. The old toilet block for the drivers and conductors was demolished, just like the wagon hangars , due to the civil engineering work for the underground car park built under the former depot and rebuilt after its completion. There is a branch of the bell bakery in it .
Schönhof depot
The small depot with originally only two tracks , which was located on the Breitenbachbrücke in Bockenheim , was opened at Schönhof as the first depot in Frankfurt am Main on May 19, 1872 by the Frankfurt tram company . It housed the vehicles, the stables , the repair shop and the headquarters as well as a field forge .
After the city of Frankfurt am Main bought up the Frankfurter Trambahn-Gesellschaft on January 1, 1898 for a purchase price of 2.23 million gold marks and further annual payments of 2.9658 million gold marks up to December 31, 1914, the deposit remained together with the Bockenheimer Depot , the horse-drawn tram route between the same and Rödelheim and a civil servants' residence on Birkenweg are still owned by the tram company.
It was not until August 1, 1900 that the city acquired these facilities for a further payment of 40,500 gold marks and an increase in monthly payments of 31,468.5 gold marks. In the following years it was rebuilt to accommodate the "Electric". The depot was almost completely destroyed in a heavy bombing raid on March 22, 1944. Although the reconstruction was not carried out, the area with the remains of the depot was used to park sidecars that were no longer used after the rubble had been cleared.
On May 26, 1965, the last car left the old depot, which, together with the tram route via Kirchplatz and Leipziger Strasse, was separated from the rail network due to the new construction of the Breitenbach Bridge. The new Breitenbach bridge with its own track for the tram was opened on June 19, 1966, but without a connection to the former depot, which was subsequently demolished. The resulting open space still belongs to the transport company and was no longer built upon.
Bad Homburg depot
The depot in Bad Homburg was built in 1899 for the Bad Homburg tram in front of the height . The construction time from May 15th to the end of the year was just a few months. It had three hall tracks for a total of 21 cars. Since the Bad Homburg tram had 15 motor coaches and 12 sidecars, some sidecars had to be parked in the courtyard.
In 1910 the depot was expanded to include three more hall, two outdoor and three pull-out tracks , which were only accessible via a transfer platform . This had become necessary because the car part provided by the Frankfurter Lokalbahn had to be placed under line 25. The main workshop of both railways was also located here. In addition, a bus garage was created during the renovation.
On January 1, 1955, the Frankfurter Lokalbahn AG and its depot at Höhestraße 41 in Bad Homburg became the property of the tram of the city of Frankfurt am Main. The city of Frankfurt used the facility as a car shed until July 4, 1962 for line 25 of its “Taunusbahnen”. After the shortening of line 25 to the old station, there was no longer a rail connection to the car hall.
The halls were then used as a depot for buses before they were demolished in January 1969. A road was laid out on the site .
Eschersheim car shed
The wagon hall in Eschersheim near today's Weißer Stein station ( Eschersheimer Landstrasse 552) was built in 1888 by the Frankfurt Local Railway and initially housed the steam trains to the city center from 1888, and from 1908 the overland line 23. The depot had three indoor and one outdoor track .
After the opening of the depot in Heddernheim in 1910, the trains of line 23 were relocated and from then on horse-drawn carriages were stored in Eschersheim . Later trams with open platforms waiting to be converted were parked there, followed by retired railcars . After the Second World War , the depot was used to park war-damaged wagons.
From May 17, 1953, lines 23E and 26 were temporarily stationed here. When the underground line A was built, the depot was cut off from the rail network on March 21, 1967 because the passages were too narrow for the U2 railcars and reduced in size and walled up through demolition work. The depot area was reduced to 252 m².
The building is still there, at times it served as a warehouse and garage for road vehicles of public utilities . Inside the depot there are still unused tram tracks for over 40 years. The VGF is currently storing old ticket machines and garbage cans there . The building has deteriorated increasingly in recent years.
At the beginning of August 2007 it was announced that the real estate office of the city of Frankfurt am Main wanted to acquire the former wagon hall from the VGF as part of a plot of land and make it available to the drawing school . The high school wanted to use the hall as a school theater for their theater group. Parts of the car hall were to be demolished, other parts to be renovated. The interior of the building will be redesigned. The cost was given as around one million euros. Since the building is not a listed building, the city council announced in 2019 that it was now planned to demolish the building for an extension of the drawing school.
Niederrad depot
The Frankfurter Waldbahn owned a depot for the Waldbahn line to Niederrad in Niederrad on Niederräder Landstrasse . After the city bought the forest railway, the independent branch of the forest railway was initially continued in full. When an electric tram to Niederrad was opened on August 17, 1908, the city stopped the forest railway line to Niederrad. The tracks on Niederräder Landstrasse and Frauenhofstrasse and the forest railway depot were abandoned. The former depot stood empty for a long time before it was demolished .
Wagons in Schwanheim
The two former car halls of the Frankfurter Waldbahn in Schwanheim were built in 1905 after a wooden hall on the site of today's west hall burned down in 1904. For a long time the depot housed surplus trams; The Frankfurt Transport Museum has moved there since 1984 .
Upper wheel carriage hall
In 1884, the first commercially used electric tram from the Old Bridge in Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen and Mathildenplatz in Offenbach went into operation in two sections . As the only depot of a narrow-gauge railway with a gauge of 1000 mm ( meter gauge ) in Frankfurt am Main, the Oberrad wagon hall was built by the Frankfurt-Offenbacher Trambahn-Gesellschaft (FOTG) in Buchrainstrasse in Oberrad and was used as a depot from February 18, 1884 . On 28 October 1906, was to take over the FOTG through Frankfurt tram on the standard gauge mm 1435 umgespurt and served for parking no longer used sidecar.
During the bombing raids in October 1943 and March 1944 , the depot with five sidecars parked in it burned down . A converter station for the electricity company was built at the same location . The building was subsequently torn down and replaced by a new building complex with a citizens' meeting place and a restaurant called “Zum Depot”, which are reminiscent of the former depot.
