In the railway accident of Bad Aibling two clashed on February 9, 2016 Meridian - people trainsets the Bavarian Oberland Bahn on the Mangfall Valley Railway (Railway Holzkirchen - Rosenheim ) at Bad Aibling together head-on. Twelve people died as a result of the accident, 89 were injured, some seriously.

Responsible for the accident was the dispatcher belonging to Deutsche Bahn , who neglected his duties and set signals incorrectly. He became an involuntary manslaughter imprisonment convicted of three and a half years.

Starting position

Infrastructure

The line is a single-track , electrified main line operated by DB Netz AG . The speed limit at the accident site is 100 km / h. The route runs in an arc here. 120 km / h are permitted in front of and behind the accident site. The line is equipped with the PZB 90 train control system . The operation takes place according to the driving regulations . The line has been equipped with GSM-R train radio since 2007 . The Heufeld –Bad Aibling– Kolbermoor section is controlled by the signal box in Bad Aibling station. It is a relay interlocking of the type Sp Dr S60 . The track vacancy is reported in the entire interlocking area with axle counters .

The scene of the accident is between the train registration points and stations at Bad Aibling and Kolbermoor , with the Bad Aibling Kurpark stop between the two . On the section there is an automatic block signal in both directions , which also serves to cover intermediate level crossings . The infrastructure equipment had been checked a week before the accident and was working perfectly.

In the area of ​​the accident site, the route runs parallel to the Mangfall Canal , which here is accompanied by a farm road. On the other side of the route, on a slope, is the difficult-to-access forest "Stuckholz". Overall, the area is difficult to access, especially for larger road vehicles.

vehicles

Accident train ET 325 in Munich Central Station in 2015

Both trains involved in the accident were Stadler Flirt 3 multiple units :

  • a three-part vehicle ET 355 with a mass of 111 tons and
  • a six-part vehicle ET 325 with a mass of 174 tons.

The vehicles are approved for a top speed of 160 km / h and equipped with the PZB 90 train control system. The car bodies are made of lightweight aluminum. The Flirt 3 meets the DIN EN 15227 crash standard . Deformation elements are located below the vehicle head, which are intended to guarantee the driver a survival space in the event of a collision with a collision speed of up to 36 km / h. On the side of the front are elements of the anti-climb protection , which should prevent the car body of one vehicle from being lifted up and pushed over the other car body when two vehicles collide. The vehicle segments are connected to one another via energy-absorbing joints.

In the six-part multiple unit, each of the two driver's cabs has a data storage cassette (DSK) of the type DSK 22 ( electronic trip registration ). Here only the device records on the active driver's cab on which the travel direction switch is in the forward position. In the three-part multiple unit there is only one device for both driver's cabs.

business

The railway company Bayerische Oberlandbahn (BOB) operated the trains under the Meridian brand :

There were around 150 passengers and railway employees on the trains.

The crossing of the two trains is scheduled to take place at Kolbermoor station , whereby train 79506 to Holzkirchen has a stay of 5 minutes (6:40 am to 6:45 am) on the main track (track 2), while train 79505 to Rosenheim has the overtaking track (track 1) uses without further operational stay. The dispatcher can, however, relocate the intersection, in particular for dispatching reasons. The drivers do not need to be informed about this. All you have to do is pay attention to the signals and wait for the scheduled departure times.

Others

The trains affected ran in school and commuter traffic . Because of the school holidays, there were significantly fewer passengers on the trains than on working days outside of the holidays, especially no pupils. The day of the accident was Shrove Tuesday .

the accident

Substitute signal ( Zs 1)

The dispatcher in Bad Aibling, who is also responsible for the Kolbermoor station, stopped both the entrance to the Kolbermoor station in Rosenheim and the exit to Bad Aibling for train 79506 before 6:38 a.m. The train arrived at 6:40 a.m. and was supposed to wait at the station until 6:45 a.m. in order to cross the trains with the 79505 train. On the day of the accident, he was 4 minutes late . After the exit train road was closed, a crossing in Kolbermoor was no longer possible.

Nevertheless, the dispatcher tried to set an exit for train 79505 from Bad Aibling station to Kolbermoor. This was prevented by the counter- drive protection of the signal box, so the exit signal could not be set to drive. The dispatcher assumed that there was a malfunction on the route block and did not recognize that the exit for train 79506 had already been set and that train 79505 could not travel in the opposite direction.

The cause of the accident was found to be human error : the dispatcher gave the train from the direction of Holzkirchen at the Bad Aibling station and at the Bad Aibling-Kurpark stop the replacement signal (Zs 1), which allows the driver to stop or disrupt the main light signal without a written main signal Command to drive past. The switching on of the substitute signal is not prevented by any technical devices, so there is also no dependency on the route block. As a result, both trains drove towards each other in the single-track section. Due to the position of the arch, however, this was only noticeable to the two drivers shortly before the collision.

After noticing his mistake, the dispatcher sent two emergency stop orders via train radio (GSM-R), the first 36 seconds before the collision and the second after the collision. By pressing the wrong key combination, however, these orders were not sent to the two train drivers, but to the dispatchers in the vicinity, who then informed the dispatcher of the error. In its investigation report, the Federal Agency for Railway Accident Investigation came to the conclusion that the collision could have been avoided if the driver had reacted normally if the first emergency call had reached them.

Exit signals N1 and N2 in Bad Aibling station in the direction of Kolbermoor

The head-on collision occurred at 6:46:56 a.m. between the Bad Aibling Kurpark stop and the Kolbermoor train station, not far from the Bad Aibling sewage treatment plant, at distance kilometers 30.29. The speeds of trains 79506 and 79505 at the time of the collision were 52 and 87 km / h, respectively. Emergency braking was only effective on both trains one second before the collision.

Train radio

In the compilation of temporary speed limits and other special features (La) valid on the day of the accident , several areas were specified in which the train radio GSM-R was not available. In the press it was reported that these dead spots could have prevented the dispatcher from averting the accident by sending an emergency stop order in good time.

Central block signal 313 in km 28.73

As part of the accident investigation, however, it became known that a filling transmitter had been installed in September 2010 to close the supply gaps. Measurement drives by DB Netz before and after the accident, as well as an evaluation by the Bavarian State Criminal Police Office, showed that there was sufficient radio coverage on the route. The entry in the La has since been removed.

consequences

Immediate consequences

Twelve people died, 89 were also injured, 26 of them seriously. The people killed were men between the ages of 24 and 60. Among those killed were the two train drivers and a train driver who had routinely accompanied the trip. Another BOB train driver was one of the nine passengers killed .

rescue

The integrated control center (ILS) in Rosenheim triggered a mass casualty of injured persons in care level 1 (after feedback from the rescue workers, then level 2).

The rescue work was made considerably more difficult by the location of the railway line between a wooded slope on one side and the canal, without access via a driveway, which is why boats, winches and helicopters were also used for the rescue.

A total of around 800 rescue workers were on site:

The rescue work was finished around 11:15 a.m. on the day of the accident.

Accident investigation

Signal box of the Bad Aibling station, which also serves as the central signal box for the Kolbermoor and Heufeld stations and the Bad Aibling Kurpark stop.

The cause of the accident has been investigated since February 9, 2016 under the direction of the Traunstein public prosecutor's office by a special commission from the Rosenheim criminal police and the federal railway accident investigation office , which worked closely with the federal police and an external expert. The authorities confiscated both trains immediately after the rescue work was completed. The three data storage cassettes (DSK), the video recordings from the interior of the trains and the operational, written documents in the signal box were saved. Travelers and the railway operating staff were questioned.

The evaluation of the counters of the interlocking via auxiliary operations that are subject to protocol showed that the last operation of the substitute signal was six days before the day of the accident, the penultimate before that more than two months. In the three months prior to the day of the accident, a total of ten operations of the substitute signal were registered. Speculations were thus rejected that there would have been a scheduled replacement signal service in the area due to irregularities. No defects were found on the trains, and mistakes by the train drivers and technical defects in the signal box were also excluded. In the criminal process, experts criticized details of the DB regulations and the signaling equipment of the route. The cause of the accident, however, lies in the mistakes that the dispatcher committed and in which he violated several regulations.

On March 7, 2017, the Federal Railway Accident Investigation Board published an interim report on the investigation. In the report, she made the safety recommendation to simplify the dispatch of an emergency call by the dispatcher by triggering both the train radio and the route emergency call with a function key. On October 29, 2018, it published the final investigation report, in which it made five additional safety recommendations.

Salvage and repair

After the rescue work was completed, the vehicles involved in the accident were recovered using a rescue train and rail cranes from Leipzig and Fulda . Four cars of the six-car and one car of the three-car turned out to be still partially rollable. The work was almost completely finished by the evening of February 13th. Both moves were a total loss.

During the repairs to the infrastructure following the accident, 120 meters of track systems were repaired, 180 meters of sleepers were replaced, a few tons of gravel were installed and the overhead line that had been removed for the recovery of the vehicles was restored. On February 20, the train service was resumed.

Reactions

politics

Chancellor Angela Merkel and Bavaria's Prime Minister Horst Seehofer expressed their concern about the accident in statements, commemorated the relatives and injured people and thanked the rescue workers. Federal Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt , Prime Minister Horst Seehofer, Bavarian Transport Minister Joachim Herrmann and other politicians visited the accident site and injured people in the hospitals. All parties in Bavaria , with the exception of the Bavarian Party , canceled the political Ash Wednesday events .

society

Many carnival celebrations were canceled in Rosenheim, Bad Aibling and the surrounding area . At the football games for the DFB Cup scheduled for the evening , the teams in Leverkusen and Stuttgart wore a black ribbon . Before kick-off, a minute's silence was observed for the victims of the railway accident. The same took place on the following day, February 10, 2016, at the remaining games in Heidenheim and Bochum.

On February 14th, an ecumenical memorial service took place in the parish church of St. Georg in Bad Aibling. Relatives of the victims, those involved in the accident, rescue workers and representatives from politics were invited. The service was broadcast in the parish hall of St. Georg, in a nearby sports hall and on Bavarian television . Regional Bishop Susanne Breit-Keßler and Cardinal Reinhard Marx chaired the celebration.

On February 16, a charity ice hockey game was held in the Bad Aibling ice rink for the benefit of the victims and relatives of the accident. The national league team “Aibdogs” from EHC Bad Aibling and the professional team from Starbulls Rosenheim competed against each other.

A helper festival planned for April 16 was canceled at the instigation of the fire brigade , the Red Cross and the technical relief organization , as many helpers were still too traumatized at this point and would prefer to end the events.

Railways

In all transport companies operated by the Transdev Group, the parent company of BOB, a minute's silence was observed at noon around the world two days after the accident. Rüdiger Grube visited the scene of the accident as chairman of the board of the Deutsche Bahn group , to which the infrastructure operator belongs.

The Union of German Locomotive Drivers (GDL) demanded that dispatchers be prepared for crisis situations in regular simulator training. In addition, the GDL asked to check whether the controls for railway radio emergency calls in the signal boxes are appropriate. Sending an emergency call from the dispatcher to the train driver and vice versa must be easier and safer, and confusion of emergency buttons must be ruled out.

About one kilometer west of the accident site, near the Theresienmonument at the entrance to Bad Aibling, a memorial designed by the sculptor Franz Ferdinand Wörle was inaugurated on October 7, 2016 in memory of the accident victims . It is a monumental iron sculpture that symbolizes the force of the impact of the two trains on each other.

Criminal proceedings

The public prosecutor initiated an investigation against the dispatcher for negligent homicide , bodily harm and dangerous interference with rail traffic . Due to an arrest warrant of the District Court Rosenheim of 11 April 2016 which was issued at the request of the prosecutor's office Traunstein, the dispatcher was in since April 12, 2016 pre-trial detention . At the same time, it became known that he was playing a game on his cell phone while he was on duty and was said to have been distracted by it. This was considered a grosser breach of duty than the initially assumed failure of the moment .

On July 18, 2016, the Traunstein public prosecutor brought charges against the dispatcher at the Traunstein Regional Court , which the Traunstein Regional Court admitted to the main hearing with a decision of September 22, 2016 . The main hearing took place before the large criminal chamber of the Traunstein Regional Court from November 10, 2016 to December 5, 2016. On the first day of the meeting, the accused dispatcher had his lawyers read a statement in which he admitted his wrongdoing and also admitted that he had been distracted by the mobile game called Dungeon Hunter 5 . An employee of the Romanian game operator later testified that, according to their records, the dispatcher had been chatting with other players about 12 minutes before the accident.

On the third day of the meeting (November 21, 2016), experts commissioned by the Federal Railway Accident Investigation Board testified that the accident had been caused by several incorrect actions by the dispatcher. At first he had wrongly occupied the wrong track in Bad Aibling, as he assumed there was a train crossing there, which did not correspond to the timetable. After that he had in Kolbermoor both the route set for the entrance of Rosenheim and for the exit to Bad Aibling. When he wanted to set up the route for the exit from Bad Aibling in the direction of Kolbermoor a little later, this was prevented by the route exclusion. At this point he should have examined in detail whether the line is really free and no train in the opposite direction has received a permit (which he had given him himself, however). However, the dispatcher apparently assumed a disruption: without having previously carried out the required evacuation test, he gave the train from Bad Aibling with the substitute signal Zs1 permission to drive past the signal indicating the stop. However, the experts also criticized the signaling status of the line and the partly outdated and contradicting operating regulations of the railway.

On 5 December 2016, the dispatcher from the Landgericht Traunstein was involuntary manslaughter and negligent bodily harm to a prison sentence condemned by three and a half years. The public prosecutor's office had a four-year prison sentence, the defense requested a suspended sentence. The judgment is final. He was paroled in July 2018 after serving two-thirds of his sentence. This was expected shortly after the conviction, as it corresponds to the usual provisions of German law ( Section 57 of the Criminal Code).

vehicles

The vehicles involved in the accident were first brought to Munich-Riem and parked there for a few days before they were finally brought to the Stadler factory in Weiden.

BOB ordered a three-part and a six-part Flirt 3 from Stadler Pankow as replacement vehicles. The new builds are custom-made, as the vehicles are no longer built in their original form. The vehicles are structurally compatible with the BOB's Flirt, built in 2013. The costs for the new acquisition amount to a double-digit million amount. The new trains have been in use since January 2, 2018.

Others

The accident site was approx. 800 m from the collision site in 1945 .
