Dorfen Bahnhof is an operating point on the Munich – Simbach railway line in the Upper Bavarian town of Dorfen . The Royal Bavarian State Railways put Dorfen station into operation in 1871. With the opening of the branching local railway to Velden , it became a separation station in 1898 and was named Dorfen Bahnhof in 1903 . Since the branch line was closed in 1993, it has only been an intermediate station .

location

The Dorfen train station is on route km 47.08 of the single-track and non-electrified main line from Munich East via Mühldorf to Simbach ( route number 5600). The single-track, non-electrified branch line to Velden (route number 5721) branched off to the east of the station and began in Dorfen at km 0.0.

The station is located on the southern outskirts of Dorfen, about one kilometer southeast of the old town . The railway facilities are limited on the north side by Bahnhofstrasse. In the west of the station, federal highway 15 from Dorfen to Haag crosses the tracks with a level crossing ; Another level crossing in the east of the station connects the former Meindl brickworks. To the south of the train station are the Dorfen districts of Oberhausmehring , Unterhausmehring and Orlfing.

history

Establishment and first years of operation

In the course of the project planning of the main line from Munich to Simbach , the General Directorate of the Royal Bavarian Transport Authority planned an intermediate station for water intake and train crossings for the market town of Dorfen with 1440 inhabitants . Since the station was intended as a possible branch station for a future route to Haag , it should, like the nearby Schwaben station, receive large-scale buildings based on the model of the Dachau station . In September 1869 the General Management estimated a total of 57,240 guilders as the cost of building the station facilities  .

On May 1, 1871, the Royal Bavarian State Railways opened the Dorfen train station with the section from Munich to Neuötting . The route and station were created clearly outside the village; Until it was incorporated in 1972, the station was on the territory of the neighboring community of Hausmehring . Due to the expected high volume of traffic, the station was classified as an expedition 1st class with postal service and the seat of a railway maintenance office . The track system initially consisted of three main tracks with two platforms and a local freight system in the west of the station. To the north of the tracks were the three-storey station building , two toilets, a goods shed and two exchange attendant houses , to the south of the tracks the water house and a peat hut. At each of the exchange attendant's houses there was a barred level crossing at the station ends. Station restorations were located 300 meters west of the reception building at the intersection of Bahnhofstrasse and Districtstrasse from Dorfen to Haag and north of the reception building . With the opening of the station that has existed since 1853 Post expedition merged with the web of Dorfen expedition and housed in the station building.

The Dorfen train station soon attained considerable importance in passenger, freight and cattle traffic and had the highest traffic volume of all stations between Munich East and Mühldorf. In 1884, 23,262 tickets were sold and the station achieved income of 38,046 marks in passenger traffic, which exceeded the Schwaben station by more than 15,000 marks. Due to the sharp increase in wagonload traffic , the Bavarian State Railways set up an open loading siding south of the main track in 1893 . From 1897 the Dorfen train station was classified as a second class station with postal service .

Expansion to the separation station

In 1892, planning began for a local train to Velden , which was to branch off at Dorfen station. In 1896 the construction of the line was approved and construction work began. Dorfen train station received another main track between the station building and the previous tracks and a bypass track in the east . On December 24, 1898, the Royal Bavarian State Railways opened the Dorfen – Velden local railway . The opening of the local railway contributed to a further increase in traffic at Dorfen station: the number of tickets sold rose from 32,195 in 1897 to 46,741 in 1899.

Reception building after the west wing was built (before 1910)

In 1901, the Bavarian State Railways equipped the Dorfen station with mechanical signal boxes as part of the centralization of point and signal control . In doing so, they extended the three main tracks of the main line and the open loading track, and they also tied the local freight facility, which was previously only connected on one side, and the open loading track on both sides. To distinguish the breakpoint Villages market at the local railway, the Bavarian State Railways designated the station Villages September 22, 1903 in Villages Station to.

Around 1910 the Bavarian State Railways set up a second railway maintenance office at Dorfen station, which was responsible for the main line between Hörlkofen and Dorfen as well as for the Thann-Matzbach-Haag local line . A siding to the Meindl brickworks was built in the south of the station around 1918.

The Deutsche Reichsbahn rebuilt the station facilities from the mid to late 1930s. A new open loading track was built south of the tracks, while the previous open loading track served as a train formation track from then on. In the east of the station, the Deutsche Reichsbahn built new buildings for the two railway maintenance offices on the previous bypassing of the local railway. The bypass track was partially dismantled and from then on ended in a newly built small locomotive shed , the subsequent pull-out track now served as a connection for the railway maintenance depots.

In order to enable longer freight trains to be used during World War II , the Deutsche Reichsbahn extended the three main tracks of the main line to the west and east beyond the level crossings in 1941. It also renewed and lengthened the platforms on track 2 and 3. On April 17, 1945, the station was the target of a low-flying attack by the Allies, in which a parked hospital train was badly damaged and four people were injured. Two air raids on April 24 and 29, 1945 caused further damage to the hospital train, the reception building and the track systems; In addition, a fuel store south of the station was completely destroyed.

Dismantling

The German Federal Railroad stopped passenger traffic on the Dorfen – Velden route on May 26, 1968. The Dorfen train station thus lost its function as a transfer point, but the track systems initially remained unchanged. In April 1985, the Deutsche Bundesbahn began dismantling side tracks that were no longer required and removed the open loading siding (track 6), the siding to the brickworks and the tracks at the railway maintenance office. The train formation track (track 5) became the stump track and from then on served again as an open loading track.

On September 27, 1993, the Deutsche Bundesbahn shut down the branch line to Velden, which has only been used by freight traffic since 1968, making Dorfen station only an intermediate station of the main line. By May 1994, Deutsche Bahn had dismantled the main track of the branch line in the station area. She planted a row of trees on the former track bed in front of the station building; A parking lot was created in the area of ​​the branching curved track in the east of the station. At the same time, the two remaining platforms were raised and partially relocated. The loading track of the local freight facility was no longer passable from 1998 and was subsequently dismantled. In 2003, Deutsche Bahn finally took the open loading track (track 5) as the last remaining siding of the station out of service by dismantling the switch.

In 2004, Deutsche Bahn replaced the station's mechanical signal boxes with a new electronic signal box .

construction

Reception building

Construction plan of the reception building

The station building on the north side of the tracks, completed in 1871, is a three-storey building with a flat hipped roof , which was originally made of exposed brick . Initially intended to be the same size as the building of the Swabian railway station , it was finally erected on a larger area of ​​21.20 m × 12.00 m. In its ground floor with a porch were ticket office , a waiting room , first and second class , third-class waiting room one, an office for the station master ( Expedition ) and a room for the station servant housed. The station board's official apartment was on the second floor, while smaller apartments for railway employees were on the lower first floor. On the track and street side, the building has five window axes ; the facades were structured by window frames , a surrounding cornice and a central projection on the street side . A platform canopy designed as a hipped roof was attached to the track side.

In 1901, the Bavarian State Railways added a single-storey side wing with a hipped roof on the west side to the station building, in which they housed the new command center and the service rooms for the station chief and the counter clerk. In addition, the building received a new canopy in the form of a monopitch roof . In the 1930s, the Deutsche Reichsbahn also built a side wing on the east side, thus restoring the symmetry of the building. The waiting room was moved to the new east wing and baggage handling was set up in its place . In the course of this construction project, the exposed brick building was plastered .

At the end of 2004, Deutsche Bahn sold the station building to Procom and Patron Capital , who sold it on to two Erdinger merchants in October 2013 . Instead of the previous ticket office, a new DB travel center opened in the building in October 2013 . In 2018 the travel center moved into a new commercial building on the site of the former goods shed.

Track systems and platforms

When it opened, Dorfen train station was equipped with three main tracks. The continuous main track was on an intermediate platform ; to the north of it there was a 484 meter long siding on the house platform , to the south a 418 meter long siding without a platform. To the west of the station, north of the main tracks, was the local freight facility with butt tracks leading to the goods shed and the head and side ramps . It was connected on one side to the west to the northern siding. The railway siding for loading dock was a car hub branched off from the two short charging socket, and a weighbridge equipped. From 1893 there was an open loading siding with a loading road in the south , which branched off from the southern siding at the western end of the station and ended in front of the water house.

After the expansion measures in 1898 and 1901, there were four main tracks in Dorfen, three of which were equipped with platforms. The line track of the local railway branched off to the east of the station in a narrow curved track from track 1; the stump track leading to the east was equipped with a bypass track. The local freight facility and the open loading track were now connected on both sides. With the extensions in the 1930s, the track systems of the Dorfen train station reached their greatest extent: Between the reception building and the water house there were now six tracks connected on both sides. Track 1 was used for the trains of the local railway to Velden, tracks 2 to 4 were used by the main line, track 5 was used to create and dismantle local goods trains and the new track 6 was used as an open-air loading track.

From 1985, the railway station's track system was gradually dismantled. Since 2003, only the main tracks 2, 3 and 4 remain, which have been re-numbered as tracks 1 to 3. The northern siding and the continuous main track are located on 38 centimeter high platforms, while the southern siding has no platform.

Signal boxes and security technology

Eastern guard station (2018)

In the first few years of operation, the station's points were set on site by change attendants. These also served the two barrier-free level crossings and later also the entry signals . In 1901 the Bavarian State Railways put a control signal box and two Krauss- style control boxes with crank mechanisms into operation. Two two-storey signal box towers in exposed brick construction with a hipped roof were built for the guard signal boxes, which were erected at the station ends south of the tracks next to the level crossings. They also took over the operation of the railway barriers. The command signal box was housed in the reception building. In addition, the Bavarian State Railways replaced the previous entry and platform signals with new entry and exit signals of the Bavarian design .

On June 27, 2004, Deutsche Bahn shut down the mechanical interlockings and put an electronic interlocking (ESTW) from Siemens into operation. For the ESTW she built a single-storey gable roof between the reception building and the goods shed. The shape signals of the station were replaced by light signals according to the Ks signal system. The two signal towers were preserved; the eastern tower continues to serve as a barrier to operate the level crossings at the eastern end of the station and at Moosen Monastery .

More buildings

Freight shed (2014)

The goods shed west of the reception building was a brick building with a gable roof , the facade of which was structured by pilasters and corner pilaster strips. In the 1970s, the Deutsche Bundesbahn expanded it to include an extension on the east side. In 2016 the goods shed was demolished.

Opposite the station building, on the south side of the tracks, was the water house for the water supply to the steam locomotives . It was a three-story brick building with a hipped roof. It supplied two water cranes at the west and east ends of the station via a steam-powered pump system and pipelines . The fuel to drive the pump system was stored in a small peat hut east of the water house. In 1978 the Deutsche Bundesbahn pulled down the water house.

At the western and eastern entry points, north of the tracks, next to the level crossings, were the two exchange attendant houses. They were designed according to a uniform model as single-storey exposed brick buildings with a pitched roof on a floor area of ​​10 m × 6.20 m. While the east guard house was demolished, the west guard house has been preserved.

traffic

passenger traffic

D XI with train to Velden in front of the station building (1902)

In the first regular timetable in 1872, two pairs of mail trains and a pair of freight trains with passenger transport from Munich to Simbach and a pair of express trains from Ulm to Simbach stopped daily at Dorfen station . The express train stop was given up again in 1873; instead, the number of passenger trains increased to five pairs between Munich and Simbach by 1895 . From 1898 onwards, three mixed passenger and freight train pairs operated daily on the local railway between Dorfen and Velden, from which it was possible to transfer to the main line trains at Dorfen station. From 1899 to 1902, Dorfen was again a stop for a pair of express trains from Munich to Simbach. In 1909 the Bavarian State Railways introduced a pair of express trains from Munich via Mühldorf to Salzburg with a stop in Dorfen, which lasted until 1914. Train traffic on the local line to Velden increased to four pairs of trains on working days by 1914, while the number of passenger trains between Munich and Simbach remained constant.

From the 1920s, two pairs of express trains stopped in Dorfen between Munich and Mühldorf. In addition, the station continued to hold five pairs of passenger trains on the main line and three pairs of trains on the local line. From 1927 to 1928, a passenger train on the main line, coming from Munich East, ended up in Dorfen for the first time for a timetable year.

In the 1951 winter timetable, the Deutsche Bundesbahn served Dorfen station with three pairs of express trains from Munich to Simbach and Passau , five pairs of passenger trains from Munich to Mühldorf and Simbach, and one pair of trains from Munich East and one from Mühldorf that ended in Dorfen on weekdays. Four pairs of trains ran on the branch line to Velden and one to Taufkirchen (Vils) . By 1966, the number of trains in Dorfen rose to seven to eight pairs of passenger trains and three pairs of express trains between Munich and Mühldorf on weekdays. Four pairs of trains ran on the branch line to Velden until passenger traffic was discontinued in 1968.

With the introduction of the S-Bahn connection to the 1972 summer timetable, six pairs of local trains only ran between Markt Schwaben and Mühldorf on weekdays; in addition, three pairs of local trains and six pairs of express trains stopped in Dorfen between Munich and Mühldorf. In the following years, the timetable was expanded; In the 1982 summer timetable, twelve of the 14 pairs of trains Munich – Mühldorf (–Simbach / –Burghausen) and seven pairs of trains turning in Markt Schwaben stopped in Dorfen on weekdays. From the beginning of the 1990s, the German Federal Railroad served the station with express trains every hour . Regional trains of the Südostbayernbahn from Munich to Mühldorf have been stopping every hour in Dorfen since 2002 . In addition, two pairs of Regional Express trains from Munich to Simbach and other repeater trains from Munich to Mühldorf stop during rush hour .

Freight transport

In the first years of operation, the Bavarian State Railways carried out freight traffic in Dorfen with through express and groupage trains between Munich and Simbach. Right from the start, the station had a high volume of goods traffic, especially in general cargo and wagonload traffic as well as cattle dispatch. In 1884 the Bavarian State Railways dispatched 5,351 tons at Dorfen station and received 5,272 tons of goods. In addition, 10,160 animals, mainly cattle and pigs , were loaded. By 1896, freight traffic rose to 17,508 tons of dispatched and 8,547 tons of goods received.

From 1898 the Dorfen train station was the transition station to the local line to Velden, where the shunting work for freight traffic between the main line and the local line took place. On the other hand, the local loading of goods declined because goods for the towns north of Dorfen were now transported on the local railway: In the year of operation 1901 only 12,411 tons of goods were dispatched and 6,331 tons were received.

From the 1970s, freight traffic at the station and on the branch line decreased increasingly. Until the cessation of freight traffic in 1993, handover trains from Dorfen still drove irregularly to Velden. The Deutsche Bundesbahn carried out the local freight transport with local freight trains and finally with transfer freight trains from the Mühldorf station. In 1998 the traffic on the local freight track ended; With the closure of the open loading siding, it has no longer been possible to load goods at Dorfen train station since 2003.
