The Wien Hetzendorf stop is in Hetzendorf , part of the 12th Viennese district of Meidling . S-Bahn trains on lines S2, S3 and S4 stop there .
location
The stop is on the embankment of the Südbahn on Eckartsaugasse between Altmannsdorfer Straße and Hetzendorfer Straße. This is the northern end of the over 12 m high and approximately 1.5 km long dam on which the railway line leads to the next train station (Atzgersdorf). The station building is located on Eckartsaugasse; in addition to a staircase, it also contains the operational rooms that were previously necessary and have not been used since the 1990s (cashier, waiting room, etc.). Until 2012, trains left the platform at the reception building heading south, and since then heading north. The second platform has a flying roof with a waiting room.
From an organizational point of view, the station belongs to the Vienna Matzleinsdorf train station ("W.Mat.-Wien Hetzendorf" station), its station code is "Het".
The station was one of three railway stations in Hetzendorf. Beside it existed Ober-Hetzendorf and Unter-Hetzendorf, both on the railway lines of the connecting railways in the south-west of Vienna.
Footpaths lead from the platforms to the adjacent streets. The tram and bus stations for lines 62 and 16A are in Hetzendorfer Straße. There are also bus stations on Eckartsaugasse (64A, 16A) and on Breitenfurter Straße (62A) a few hundred meters away. To the east of the station is the “Point Altmannsdorf”, a residential and business center; to the west and south, the train station and the southern line are accompanied by allotment gardens located on the property of the southern line. The railway line is wider in this area than would be necessary for a two-lane railway embankment, because a further expansion to three or four-track operation was already considered when it was built. Another widening at the foot of the dam in the south of the station indicates the area in which the dam construction was carried out over a wetland.
New station entrances with lifts at the northern end of the bridge over Altmannsdorfer Straße were opened on February 14, 2018. They provide better access to the residential and business premises north of the train station; it is no longer necessary to cross the busy Altmannsdorfer Straße. In this context, the bridge was also renovated and provided with new railings in order to better protect pedestrians against fast-moving trains (and their air pressure waves). The construction costs totaling EUR 2.3 million were borne by ÖBB and the nearby company Boehringer Ingelheim .
A scrap recycling company is connected to the southern runway by a siding in the north of the station. This siding is set up as an “ alternative connection point ” (Awanst). There is a transfer point in the south of the station .
In the north of the station are the first turnouts for the station entrance of Wien Meidling. High-speed trains are usually led to this station without crossing through a subdivision under the tracks of the southern line and the connecting line.
Track plans of the Hetzendorf station from different times are available on the Internet, for example for 1942–1945, 1969, 1982 and 1979.
history
On June 20, 1841 , the Mödling-Vienna Gloggnitzer Bahnhof section of the Vienna-Gloggnitzer Railway , today's Südbahn, was opened. This also put the Hetzendorf train station into operation. The line was two-pronged from the start. Only the two main tracks were used for passenger traffic, which can still be reached today via side platforms. In 1909 there were two side tracks in Hetzendorf, which were connected to the main tracks. In 1913 a free loading area was created, which is now used by a scrap dealer. In 1932, some switch connections were removed and the Hetzendorf station became a stopping and loading point. On 29. September 1956 the line was electrified. The railway systems have been integrated into the parking area of the Matzleinsdorf station since 1982.
The construction of the embankment at Hetzendorf had already started in 1839. Several workers were killed in a landslide during this work. Artesian springs in the ground of the railway embankment delayed the construction of the railway at the station. The bridge over Hetzendorfer Straße had to be built twice after the first construction had not withstood it; wide (partly dry-built ) retaining walls ( contra-escarpen ) were erected, which are still visible on Hetzendorfer Straße. In 1885 the station was enlarged and a waiting room was built. As a continuation of Eckartsaugasse to the south, a road to Atzgersdorf was planned parallel to the railway embankment; this construction did not take place.

Until 1918, Hetzendorf station was used by members of the Habsburg dynasty for private rail travel outside the protocol , for example by Elisabeth on a return trip from Corfu via Venice and Miramar . The Hetzendorf station is the southern railway station that is closest to the imperial palaces Schönbrunn and Hetzendorf . On January 27, 1913, the first ceremonial reception took place on the occasion of the arrival of the family of Archduke (and later Emperor) Karl in Hetzendorf Castle. From Hetzendorf could about the Bahnhof Payerbach-Reichenau the imperial villa in Reichenau an der Rax and the station Mürzzuschlag the hunting castle in Mürzsteg as the be achieved in direct straight course, the main naval port of the Navy in Pola ; from 1916 also the high command of the Austro-Hungarian Army in Baden during the First World War .
During this time the station was occupied by eight people.
The location of the railway at Hetzendorf train station had a shaping effect on the settlement of the surrounding area: on the basis of a court service, no industrial plants were allowed to be built on grounds west of the railway line. This served to protect the quiet location and air quality of the imperial castle, in the vicinity of which a villa complex (the Valerie Cottage) developed in the late 19th century on the grounds of the Prónay Gardens .
It is a coincidence that Eckartsaugasse , in which the station building is located, bears the same name as the town of Eckartsau in Marchfeld , from whose castle the last Austrian Emperor, Charles I, began his journey into exile in November 1918. The alley was named in 1909 after the family of the Counts of Eckartsau, who were landowners (mining rights owners) in Hetzendorf. Before that it was called Bahnhofstrasse .
The bridges over Altmannsdorfer Strasse and Hetzendorfer Strasse were rebuilt from reinforced concrete in the years 1959–1960. Until then, the bridge over Hetzendorfer Strasse was an arch made of brick masonry and only offered space for one lane. The double-track tram line 62 had to be narrowed to one track.
The station building was extensively renovated in 1977, with its facade also being repainted in the style of that time.
On the western platform (until 2012: direction of travel Meidling) there were four large plane trees from the time the station was built, which had to be felled due to old age.
