Freight station Stuttgart
The Stuttgart freight yard was a freight yard that was located in the city center of the state capital Stuttgart . It was abandoned in the 1980s. The Europaviertel has now been created on the 16 hectare area .
Location and structure
The station was located between the tracks of Stuttgart Central Station , Heilbronner Strasse and Wolframstrasse. The station had three entry and seven exit tracks. Most recently, it was controlled via a pushbutton interlocking near Wolframstrasse. The facility consisted of 13 loading tracks for general cargo, four loading tracks for a forwarding company, two crane and customs tracks, ten private siding and 14 wagon loading tracks. The wagons were distributed to the individual loading tracks via a drainage mountain . In the south of the site, north of the main train station, there was the goods handling and express handling of the Deutsche Bundesbahn. With the closure of the freight yard, goods handling was relocated to Kornwestheim. Only the name of the Wagenladungsstrasse tunnel running under the Europaviertel still reminds of the station today.
