history
After Friedrichshafen was the first city on Lake Constance to receive a rail connection in 1847, a track laid from the city station to the port from 1849 was intended to enable the Württembergische Südbahn to reload goods directly from the ships to the train and thus significantly reduce transport costs. In 1850 the first port station, built onto the east gable of the former salt barn and customs office, was moved into. In 1869, to the east of the port station, the railway ferry service ( Trajekt ) to the railway connection from Romanshorn to Zurich opened in 1855 . In 1885/86 a representative new building with half-timbered fronts and bay windows on the lake side was built in place of the first simple train station. In the new building there was a restaurant with a terrace on the upper floor and the post office until 1909.
In the years 1929 to 1933 the area around the port station was extensively redesigned. The freight station was relocated to the northern part of the city and then a new station building planned by Karl Hagenmayer was built by the Reichsbahndirektion Stuttgart in the style of classical modernism . The building, which was badly damaged in air raids in 1944, was rebuilt in its old form after the Second World War . After Friedrichshafen had already lost its importance as a railway location after the Second World War, the railway ferry service to Romanshorn was discontinued in 1976. The tracks and ancillary facilities to the east of the reception building, which were used for ferry operations, were removed in the following years. The station building retained its function and was sold to the city in 1988. After a new terminal building for the railways, customs and shipping companies had been built at Fährplatz, the previous station building was converted into the Zeppelin Museum from 1993 to 1996 . The track plan is now considerably simplified compared to the situation in the mid-1970s.
In addition to the shape of the reception building and the track plan of the port station, there have been repeated changes to the adjacent port facility over the years. Today, numerous other ports on Lake Constance can be reached from him with passenger ships and with the Romanshorn car ferry .
traffic
The station now has two platform tracks (tracks 2b and 3b) on a central platform and a platform-free siding (track 4b). The additional letter b serves to avoid internal confusion with tracks 2, 3 and 4 in the city station. The 38 cm high platform is 353 meters long, but only 133 m of it can be used. All other sidings and platform track 1b have been removed.
The route between the Friedrichshafen port station and the city station is now served up to three times an hour. This is done by each driving every two hours regional train lines Friedrichshafen port Radolfzell and Friedrichshafen port Lindau - Aulendorf , the trains running hourly regional trains from the port to the city railway station and the moving hourly trains of Bodensee-Oberschwaben-Bahn (BOB) from Friedrichshafen Harbor on the southern railway to Aulendorf. The port station is served by around 50 trains every day.
