The Erfurt Central Station is one of the important junctions of the German rail transport. The state of Thuringia is developed from Erfurt in a star shape with numerous routes, including long-distance traffic. In 2006 the station had around 12.5 million passengers, which is an average of around 34,000 per day. It is located on the Thuringian Railway from Halle to Bebra and is the operational center of the railway line.
It was rebuilt from 2002 to 2008 and also connects the high-speed line Nuremberg – Erfurt with the new Erfurt – Leipzig / Halle line . The Erfurt main station thus functions as an important ICE hub in Germany.
Location in urban space
Erfurt main train station is located in the Altstadt district 500 meters south of the Angers on the former fortress wall from the 14th century. To the south it borders on the districts of Löbervorstadt and Daberstedt . The marshalling yard and freight yard as well as the operating facilities of the main station are in the east in the Krämpfervorstadt . There and in Daberstedt there used to be numerous railway workers' apartments. The station itself is bordered by the Flutgraben in the south and by Willy-Brandt-Platz in the north . Bahnhofstrasse, which serves the city's local public transport, runs under the station. The tram lines 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and city bus routes run there. Other buses leave from the bus station 150 meters northeast of the train station on Bürgermeister-Wagner-Straße. The car access to the train station, the parking lots, the taxi rank and the InterCityHotel are located in the adjacent Kurt-Schumacher-Straße . The old station hotel, the Erfurter Hof , was used in March 1970 for the Erfurt summit meeting between Willy Brandt and Willi Stoph. Today it is used as a commercial building.
history
Erfurt's main train station has undergone several new constructions and renovations in the course of history.
Railway station 1846–1890
The location of the new Erfurt train station to be built was controversial. There was only a very limited amount of space within the Erfurt city fortifications , and outside the city fortifications, a suitable area was available with the Krämpferfeld east of the Schmidtstedter Tor . However, Erfurt's mayor, Karl Friedrich Wagner , advocated a location within the city fortifications, and the Prussian authorities and the military also demanded that the railway line run through the ramparts so that they could stop rail operations in crisis situations. In July 1845 the decision was finally made to build the station within the fortress walls, north of the high battery .
The first station was built from 1846 in the course of the construction of the Thuringian Railway by the Thuringian Railway Company . Due to the chosen location, it was also necessary to build two double tunnels through the ramparts and several wooden bridges over the moat. At the opening on April 1, 1847, at the same time as the Weimar – Erfurt section, all buildings were completed except for the station building, which was completed in 1852. In addition to the still unfinished station building, the station had a locomotive building, a goods shed , a wagon shed, a coke shed, a shed for reserve locomotives and a workshop when it opened . Just a few years after opening, the systems no longer met the growing requirements. Two buildings planned in 1850, each with an additional goods and wagon shed, were completed in 1854. An enlargement of the locomotive shed was necessary in 1852 and from 1855 the freight yard was expanded. A year later, the side wing of the workshop was given an additional floor, and after the furnace had been converted to hard coal, the coke shed could be converted into a locomotive shed with a large turntable .
In 1860, the freight transport facilities were expanded again. The two existing goods sheds were expanded and a third was newly built. The lack of space within the fortifications became increasingly noticeable and so the Thuringian Railway Company acquired a large area in front of Schmidtstedter Tor in 1865 to build a freight station . Due to the German War of 1866, the start of construction was delayed and construction work could not begin until the following year. In 1872 the freight yard was put into operation after the freight sheds had been moved the previous year; however, it was not fully completed until five years later in 1877.
The timetable valid from the opening of Erfurt main train station provided four trains a day between Halle and Erfurt with a journey time of three to three and a half hours. Ten years later, in the summer of 1857, two express trains , three passenger trains and a mixed train ran daily between Halle and Eisenach via Erfurt.
On August 17, 1869, the Nordhausen-Erfurt Railway Company opened the Nordhausen – Erfurt railway line . Erfurt's final destination was initially the Nordhausen train station on Schmidtstedter Feld; However, there was a transfer track to the train station of the Thuringian Railway Company from the beginning, and passenger trains went there from 1872. The Nordhäuser station served from now on only the freight and the reception building is now an apartment building. The Sangerhausen – Erfurt railway also ended after the section to Erfurt opened on October 24, 1881, initially at its own station, the Sangerhausen station . It was not far from the Nordhausen train station and a few years later was integrated into the Thuringian train station via the branch line of the Thuringian Railway, which had existed since 1863, to the royal salt mine in Ilversgehofen . The Sangerhausen station was then also used exclusively for freight traffic.
The three-storey reception building of the first Erfurt train station has been preserved and is used today by Deutsche Bahn AG. It is located west of today's main train station and has a white / olive color scheme. In the past, with the low buildings on Bahnhofstrasse, its tower was visible from afar. What was more important: you could also see over the ramparts from him. The building was in operation from 1847 to 1890 and later became the seat of the Reichsbahndirektion Erfurt .
Railway station 1890–2002
The second main station building of the Inselbahnhof was built from 1887 according to plans by the railway construction inspector Eduard Keil and the government master builder Otto Erlandsen and put into operation in 1893. It is located 30 meters east of the first station building consisting of the station lobby on the station square with shops and counters as well as the actual reception building between the tracks (island building). The buildings were designed in the style of historicism , with yellow brickwork and red sandstone walls and cornices. The tracks were laid up on a dam, the former rampart.
The station had the continuous main track from Bebra to Halle on the south side at platforms 5 and 6 and the track for the opposite direction on the north side at platforms 1 and 2. In 1912, an additional switch was installed on platform 1, which made it possible to handle two trains in a row at platforms 1 and 2. There were also two tracks, which were on the north side and served as through-tracks for goods traffic from the Erfurt freight station to Neudietendorf . The eastern butt tracks on platform 4 were for trains to and from Sangerhausen and on platform 3 next to it for trains to and from Nordhausen and Bad Langensalza . The western butt tracks at platforms 2 and 6 were mostly used for trains to and from Arnstadt and on to Suhl , Ilmenau or Saalfeld . In addition, there was Inselbahnsteig 7 on the south side with through tracks for trains going east to Weimar , which was built in 1940/1941. The platform designation was valid until 1975. After that there was a new numbering, as each track on a platform had its own platform number. In 1992, the Deutsche Bundesbahn finally adopted the designation track instead of platform. However, this was a bit problematic because the in-house track numbers in the safety technology did not correspond to the excellent platform numbers.
The station had the Ew signal box at the west entrance and the Er equestrian signal box at the east exit. In addition, there was the mushroom signal box Es between tracks 5 and 8 and the small Ev ("bird's nest") on the vestibule. The track system was electrified in 1967.
This second building was in operation in its original form until 2000. All that remains of it is the entrance hall, which has been integrated into the new, third station.
modification
On August 18, 1992, the central head office (ZHvDR) issued the preliminary planning order for the Erfurt node. A planning process was then started. The preliminary planning documents were available to the ZHvDR for confirmation in mid-1993. A new electronic signal box, the renewal of 44 km of track systems and 143 switch units were planned. 11 bridges in the urban area of Erfurt should be replaced or renovated. 439 million DM were earmarked for the measures.
The station was extensively modernized from 2002 - after the historic island building that had dominated the silhouette up to that point was demolished - and officially opened to traffic on December 13, 2008, although not all renovation work had yet been completed. The cost of the renovation should be around 260 million euros. The Free State of Thuringia and the City of Erfurt contributed 44 million euros.
The planning approval decision for the conversion was issued in the mid-1990s. The first groundbreaking was celebrated on September 22, 2001. The newly constructed track systems include 12 platform tracks on 10 platforms and 67 points . In the course of the construction work, six new railway bridges were also built. A "service center" was built under the railway facilities on an area of around 3,000 m². There is an underground car park below this shopping center. Both facilities were reduced in size in the course of planning.
An open implementation competition with urban planning ideas competition was implemented for the main train station. In autumn 1995, an eleven-member jury selected the winning design for the redesign of the station from a total of 123 entries. Citizens' protests against the demolition of the historic island building, which were supported by a building historian from the Bauhaus University Weimar, were not taken into account.
In September 1995 the planning approval decision for the reconstruction of the railway junction was issued. The planned measures included five kilometers of track, 46 kilometers of overhead contact lines and the renewal of eight railway bridges.
On March 26, 1998, the financing agreement for the renovation was signed. The planned total costs were around 207 million DM. The work should begin in autumn 1999 and be completed in 2003. Before the large-scale construction work began, an electronic signal box (ESTW) to control the Erfurt railway junction was put into operation on March 14, 1999 . Using the system, which replaced eight relay , electromechanical and mechanical interlockings that were up to 92 years old , up to three dispatchers controlled 155 points , 154 signals and 119 additional signals to start operations. This early completion was necessary because the old security technology was not converted. Conceptually, a safety-related longitudinal separation of the station was planned in order to be able to carry out the conversion option in partial stages. The ESTW is now remote-controlled from the Leipzig operations center.
In October 2001, the Vieselbach and Hopfgarten stations and three block points were also connected to the ESTW Erfurt.
After eight months of construction, the renovated reception building was put into operation on August 21, 2002. The construction work, calculated at around 250 million euros, should be completed by 2006 at this point in time.
The extensive renovation of Erfurt main train station began in 2002. A comprehensive redesign of the track system was carried out and the previous station building (partially) and the underpass of Bahnhofsstraße demolished. As a result of the renovation, the main station in Erfurt will in particular be able to function as a junction between the high-speed lines Nuremberg – Erfurt and Erfurt – Leipzig / Halle . A major aim of the planning was to link the ICE line between Munich and Berlin with the ICE line between Frankfurt am Main and Dresden and to shorten travel times through correspondence.
In the meantime, construction work was suspended for two years when it was unclear whether the two high-speed line projects that followed Erfurt would be realized.
The new construction of the station took place in several stages, as the train traffic had to be fully maintained. For this purpose, a temporary platform for the additional track 7a was first built on the south side of the station. Island platforms with nine through tracks and four butt tracks were built. The two external long-distance platforms 1/2 and 9/10 have a length of 420 meters.
The two-aisled, 154-meter-long hall roof consists of a side aisle with 20 meters and a main aisle with a span of 65 meters, with a maximum height of around 20 meters. The originally planned length was 190 meters. During the renovation of the 2.5 kilometer long junction area, noise barriers with a total length of around 3.0 kilometers were also erected.
As the first part of the new station building, the converted vestibule was inaugurated in 2005.
With the timetable change in December 2005, the north side of the main station was officially put into operation. It consisted of a "half" glass hall on the upper floor, which spanned the newly opened northern island platform with tracks 1 and 2 and partly the central platform, as well as the business arcade on the ground floor and the underground car park.
The planned total costs at that time were 260 million euros. They were raised by the Free State of Thuringia, the state capital Erfurt and Deutsche Bahn.
The next partial opening took place on June 3, 2007. As part of a 44-hour full closure, the northern part of the central platform with track 3 and the four new butt tracks, tracks 4 and 5 at the eastern end and 6 and 7 at the western end of the platform, were put into operation. In the last construction phase, the old southern part of the track area (old tracks 5, 6, 7 and 7a) including the remaining old railway overpass was demolished by March 2008. Then the rest of the glass roof construction and the platforms below with tracks 8, 9 and 10 were built. Commissioning took place on November 30, 2008 after a 27-hour full closure. The southern long-distance platform 9 was initially put into operation as a 320-meter-long head platform without overhead lines and platform 10 was provisionally connected until two adjoining bridge structures in the eastern exit were completed.
At the end of May 2012, as part of a 64-hour total closure, additional track systems of the new lines east and west of the main station with a length of 12 kilometers were integrated. Platforms 9/10 were now connected on both sides and the full length of 420 meters could be used as ICE platforms. Furthermore, the new south entrance via the flood ditch was handed over to use and the waiting room was redesigned.
To the east of the main train station, in Daberstedt , a junction was built on which long-distance trains on the new line to Leipzig cross the tracks of the Sangerhausen and Wolkramshausen lines without any elevation. At Pentecost 2013, the structure was put into operation as part of a further closure of the node. The five-track commissioning west of the main train station also took place at that time.
A total of nine full closures were made to integrate the two new lines. Up to May 2012, 336 million euros of the planned total costs of 480 million euros had been invested. Several dozen companies and more than 300 people were employed on the project (as of August 2014). From November 20-22, 2015, the station was completely closed to allow further track systems to go into operation. Two further construction stages followed, each with a full closure. At the end of November 2017 there was a full closure in order to install a new ETCS software version. The next full closure was on June 22nd to noon, 23rd June 2019, in order to carry out the last completions for ETCS and to install new software.
The drive-through speed has been up to 100 km / h since the completion of the construction work. In a second expansion stage, the line from Eisenach is to be connected with the new line to Leipzig at no level. Due to a lack of funds, this expansion is only planned as an option, for which the corresponding areas are reserved.
outlook
The third expert draft for the Deutschland-Takt , presented in June 2020, provides for overpasses in both station heads as well as additional points for Erfurt Hauptbahnhof .

Upper floor: platforms
The three platform platforms that make the twelve platform tracks accessible are located on the upper floor. Each platform platform is accessed via an escalator , a staircase and an elevator system from inside the station and via a staircase from the underpass of Bahnhofstrasse. Each platform is largely covered.

Ground floor: business arcade
On the ground floor, which is on the same level as Willy-Brandt-Platz , there is not only the travel center and the Deutsche Bahn information point, but also an Abellio customer center . Furthermore, the EVAG stops for buses and trams, which are located in the underpass of Bahnhofstrasse, and shops are located on this level . Lockers, toilets, ATMs, ticket machines, etc. are also located on this level. The spacious, wide corridors, which connect everything with each other and also make the steps to the platforms accessible, are used temporarily and seasonally for public exhibitions.
Basement: underground car park
The underground car park, which is located under large parts of the station forecourt, Willy-Brandt-Platz, and the train station, is accessible by a centrally located elevator system (to the passages and platforms 3a / 8a) and an elevator (to the passages and the platform 1/2) and a staircase at the pay machine is directly connected to the train station.
Transport links
Up until 1945, the station was an important national junction on the east-west route, which connected Berlin with Frankfurt am Main and central Germany with the Ruhr area. In 1939 alone there were three connections a day with the long-distance express railcars to Frankfurt (“ Fliegender Frankfurter ”) and two to Berlin. These had a cruising speed of 106 km / h to Frankfurt. In addition, around 30 other express, express and passenger trains ran in the direction of Bebra alone. In addition, there was a long-distance express train, four express trains and one express train going south through the Thuringian Forest to Würzburg .
In 1988, the year of the highest (post-war) freight transport services of the Deutsche Reichsbahn, the neighboring freight yard provided a daily wagon output of around 2,450 wagons in over 80 trains.
The station lost its national importance in west-east and north-south traffic due to its border location between 1945 and 1990. However, it was still the most important hub in Thuringia. After reunification, the importance of the station for domestic German traffic increased again. In long-distance traffic, there is a large number of weekend commuters from East Germany with jobs in the south and west of the country, while the most important local traffic connection leads to the neighboring cities of Weimar and Jena, with commuters making up a large group in addition to the approximately 40,000 students from the three cities.
With the commissioning of the two new lines, the state of Thuringia plans to expand the regional transport services to the Erfurt junction. A node of the integral cycle timetable is to be set up. At the symmetry minute 30 - with planned arrivals and departures between minutes 24 and 36 - four ICE trains towards Dresden, Frankfurt am Main, Munich and Berlin should be in the main station. Regional trains should arrive shortly before and leave shortly after. Regional traffic should arrive at Erfurt main station 5 to 15 minutes before the arrival of long-distance trains from Dresden, Berlin, Munich and Frankfurt am Main. Long-distance traffic is to stop at the two central platforms in the north and south of the facility, while regional traffic is to use the central section of the station, with four through and butt tracks each. In order to create the link between the tracks to and from the new lines - on the north side of the station - and the tracks to the existing lines towards Frankfurt and Weimar, large parts of the track field must be crossed at the same height .
According to the planning status of August 2013, long-distance trains from Berlin / Halle (line 28.1, to Nuremberg / Munich), from Berlin / Leipzig (line 11, direction Frankfurt am Main / Stuttgart), to Leipzig / Dresden ( Line 50, from Frankfurt am Main) and to Leipzig / Berlin (line 28.2, from Nuremberg / Munich) are linked. In the even hour, connections are provided in the opposite direction. Connections from regional traffic from Weimar and Gera / Jena are planned every two hours; According to Deutsche Bahn, hourly connections from these lines will be sought in the further planning process. The minimum transition time should be ten minutes. In addition, the ICE sprinters planned between Berlin and Munich will also stop in Erfurt. According to the planning status from the end of 2015, the ICE line 11 , which was routed via Saxony and Thuringia, will also stop in Erfurt at half an hour. With the commissioning of the new lines, the number of daily passengers should increase to 45,000. Erfurt Central Station has been integrated into the Lufthansa Express Rail system since September 4, 2018 . The passengers of the German airline can thus book the trains of the ICE line 50 as a feeder or connecting connection. This means that the trains between Erfurt Hbf and Frankfurt Airport long-distance train station also have a four-digit Lufthansa flight number. At the same time, the station receives the IATA code XIU as an identification number for air traffic. The new long-distance transport line FLX 10 from the private rail operator FLIXTRAIN has been offering an alternative to Deutsche Bahn AG since December 15, 2019 . Due to the corona pandemic , there have been restrictions in long-distance transport since March 2020.

technology
Erfurt Hauptbahnhof is the first large passenger station in Germany to be equipped with the European train control system ETCS. In 2015, platform tracks 1, 2, 9 and 10 from or in the direction of the new line to Halle / Leipzig were equipped with ETCS; the new line to Bamberg was upgraded in 2017. A further expansion took place in the course of the ETCS equipping of the line to Eisenach in 2018.
In the area of the station are two of the three sub-panels ESTW ( Erfurt and Erfurt NBS ) and, with Erfurt node and Erfurt new line , two of the five RBCs of new lines of the transport unit German project no. 8 . These facilities are housed in a modular building on the north side of the freight yard.
Awards
On September 2, 2009, the Erfurt main station was awarded the title Station of the Year 2009 by Allianz pro Schiene in the “Large City Station ” category.
