The Stuttgart Central is the most important station of the Baden-Wuerttemberg state capital Stuttgart and is with daily train stops in 1280 and about 300,000 travelers and visitors in fifth place of the busiest railway stations of Deutsche Bahn . The terminal station with 16 platform tracks is one of the 21 stations in the highest price class  1 from DB Station & Service .

In addition to its importance for long - distance and regional passenger transport in Baden-Württemberg, it is the main junction of the Stuttgart S-Bahn and, together with the Charlottenplatz stop, the most important junction of the light rail . Because of the characteristic clock tower with the Mercedes star , the main station has a high recognition value and is one of the landmarks of Stuttgart.

As part of the Stuttgart 21 project , the terminus station is being replaced by a covered through station in a low location with underground access routes. In addition to the station building with the clock tower, a new station hall is being built; the previous railway facilities are to be dismantled once they have been de- dedicated .

history

The third building from the left in the picture shows the facade , with the entrance area under the arcades , of the First Stuttgart Central Station, based on a design by the architect Karl Etzel (around 1850)

First and second central station

Until 1922, the Stuttgart main station was located on Schloßstraße, which is now called Bolzstraße in the relevant section, near Schloßplatz . There, building supervisor Karl Etzel was the first to build a four-track terminal station for the opening of the Württemberg Central Railway, which ran in two branches to Ludwigsburg and Esslingen .

The station was not noticeable in the development of the then Schloßstraße. A wooden hall spanned four tracks. The first train arrived from Cannstatt on September 26, 1846 . The first phase of railway construction in the Kingdom of Württemberg with routes to Heilbronn , Bretten , Ulm and Friedrichshafen was completed by 1854 (see also: History of the Railway in Württemberg ).

Due to the increasing volume of traffic, this first station was replaced by a new building at the same location between 1863 and 1868. The senior building supervisors Klein, Georg Morlok , Carl Julius Abel and the later town planning officer Adolf Wolff created this as an eight-track station with a magnificent facade and arches in the Renaissance style. Parts of the former station facade are now integrated into an event and cinema complex (Metropol).

On October 28, 1908, the express train D 38 from Berlin to Zurich arrived at the station late, at excessive speed and with black ice. The locomotive ran over the buffer stop and only came to a stop in the rail post office . An employee was injured there, the others were able to get to safety in good time. Since only the locomotive, not the wagons, derailed, the train was able to continue its journey. When the pushing locomotive required for the gradients of the Gäubahn wanted to sit behind the train in Stuttgart West station , it did so with too much momentum: its last car derailed. Reduced by this last car, the train continued its journey to Zurich.

Sprickerhof'scher through station

With a steadily increasing volume of traffic and other connected lines, the station increasingly reached its capacity limits in the early 20th century.

In 1905 there were three drafts for the redesign of the station:

  • the Sprickerhof through station ,
  • a terminal station, like the previous one on Schloßstraße (today Bolzstraße), as well as
  • a terminus station, like today's one on Schillerstraße

The concept of the Sprickerhof through station was presented in 1901. The Gäubahn and the route from Feuerbach were to be led in three parallel, double-track tunnels with a gradient of 1: 100 from Wolframstraße in an arc of 300 meters through the Kriegsberg to the main station. This would have run from Bahnhofstrasse over Kriegsbergstrasse, with the track system being at the level of Ludwigsburger Strasse. The routes of switches should lead about 150 meters into the tunnel. The station building was to be built in the area of ​​the main customs office at that time. The above-ground areas between Schloßstraße and Schillerstraße would have been cleared for this project. A commission of external experts spoke out against the project, which was no longer pursued due to considerable construction difficulties and inadequate dimensioning of the station system.

Today 's main train station was built from 1914 to 1928 at today's Arnulf-Klett-Platz, 500 meters east of the previous building.

1910, wrote Royal Württemberg State Railways one as principal architect competition from, which was attended by 70 offices. The office of Paul Bonatz (1877–1956) and Friedrich Eugen Scholer (1874–1949) won first prize with his design “umbilicus sueviae” (Swabia's navel). After numerous changes, for example moving the tower from the main facade to the palace garden wing, construction began on Cannstatter Straße in 1914. There were also changes to the plan during the construction phase. Because of the track to the old station, the construction had to be done in two parts. On the night of October 22nd to 23rd, 1922, the first component with tracks 9 to 16 was put into operation and then the tracks to the old station were demolished.

Since the further construction of the new station was delayed for financial reasons, the city of Stuttgart granted the Deutsche Reichsbahn a loan of two million Reichsmarks in 1925 (corresponds to EUR 7.7 million after adjustment for inflation ) and in 1927 another loan of 5 million Reichsmarks (corresponds to 18 , 3 million euros). The second component was completed in 1928, on May 15, 1933 the electrification of the 16 tracks was completed.

During the air raids on Stuttgart during World War II , the main train station was severely damaged several times, even though a mock system near Lauffen am Neckar was able to attract many attacks from 1940 to 1942 . The reconstruction took several years. Since August 20, 1987, Stuttgart Central Station has been registered as a cultural monument of particular importance (according to Section 12 DSchG ) in the monument register.

On June 15, 1993 at 9:07 am, the Interregio 2193 from Karlsruhe to Salzburg ran over the buffer stop on track 14 and came to a stop on the cross-platform two to three meters in front of a drugstore. 21 passengers and the driver were injured, damage of 350,000 DM resulted. The train continued its journey 20 minutes late and without the first three cars. Human error was assumed to be the cause of the accident.

The reception building is to be converted from the beginning of 2020. Remaining shops and service facilities were closed in mid-August 2019 in preparation for this.

In the operating point directory , the Hauptbahnhof train station is listed as TS and is one of the 21 stations in the highest price class of DB Station & Service .

S-Bahn and light rail

A draft for an S-Bahn submitted in the mid-1950s provided for a four-track stop with two 175-meter-long central platforms under the main train station, which were to have two tracks in the direction of the city center and four tracks in the direction of Feuerbach / Bad Cannstatt.

Between 1971 and 1978 the underground station Hauptbahnhof was built for the S-Bahn in the central Neckar area for the Stuttgart connection line , which was built using a top-down construction and crosses under the main hall at the level of the small counter hall. This stop has two tracks and a central platform. On October 1, 1978 the first S-Bahn ran.

In connection with the introduction of the S-Bahn, a parking garage with 90 parking spaces was built and also opened in 1978.

After a four-year planning phase, construction work began on a new SpDrL 60 central signal box at the main train station on October 3, 1973 . The facility was gradually put into operation: first (on October 1st and 2nd, 1977) for the parking yard, then for the passenger and freight yard (November 5th and 6th, 1977). The connecting line of the S-Bahn (to the then terminus Schwabstraße) was activated on October 1st, 1978.

A total of 95  main signals , 93  distant signals , 583  blocking signals , 506  point machines and 530  track circuits as well as 169  axle counting circuits were integrated into the layout. The new signal box replaced twelve old signal boxes. DM 68 million was invested in the signal box and its outdoor facilities. Today five to seven dispatchers work in the signal box .

The underground light rail station "Hauptbahnhof (Arnulf-Klett-Platz)" under the Arnulf-Klett-Platz in front of the station hall was opened to traffic on April 9, 1976. Today ten tram lines of the Stuttgart Stadtbahn operate here .

The S-Bahn station at the main train station was (as of 1993) used by around 120,000 passengers per day. Including 55,000 people changing to long-distance, regional and city transport, around 15,000 passengers in the cross-corner traffic between Feuerbach and Bad Cannstatt and around 50,000 people getting on and off. Around 75,000 passengers change trains every day at the SSB stop at the main train station. In the meantime (2016) 140,000 passengers get on and off at the S-Bahn station every day. With the commissioning of Stuttgart 21, the volume should decrease by around 20 percent. The S-Bahn station is called Stuttgart Hbf Tief and is 20 m below the terminus.

Building

Recording from 2010

The station building consists of cubes that are nested symmetrically and asymmetrically. The different sizes, dimensions and designs of the cubes are characteristic. Concrete and steel were used in the construction of the station building, the facade was then clad with roughly hewn shell limestone blocks that were firmly walled up with bricks. The shell limestone comes from the trochitic limestone of the Upper Muschelkalk from the area around Crailsheim . Inside, sandstone, tuff and brick define the walls. These are partly designed as flat wooden ceilings and partly as reinforced concrete structures. The safety pillars in the head platform hall are made of exposed concrete .

The station is also integrated into the city of Stuttgart in terms of urban planning. The structure adapts to the sloping terrain (there is a height difference of almost five meters from the tower to the north exit). Bonatz rejected a street that originally led to the center of the train station and created today's Lautenschlagerstraße, which leads to the small counter hall.

The building is characterized both by conservative elements, which can be seen, among other things, in the monumentality and the architectural decoration, as well as by progressive parts, which are shown in the compositional principle, mostly flat roofs and other elements. The construction is an important example of the Stuttgart school . Mihály Kubinszky describes it as one of the “most successful and characteristic train stations of its time”, Gottfried Knapp describes it as “the most important station building between historicism and modernity”. Carroll Meeks explains that the fact that for 95% of travelers the train station is the end of their journey, necessitates a permanent and massive construction. As construction progressed, the style became simpler and harder. From today's perspective, it looks like “ Nazi design avant la lettre ”. The writer WG Sebald writes: “… Stuttgart main station, the natural stone bastion designed by the builder Paul Bonatz, as I later learned, before the First World War and completed soon after, which in its angular brutalism already anticipated some of what was to come later ... "

For Christoph Ingenhoven , the architect of the new station, the station is only acceptable because of the “huge losses […] of historical substance […] that Germany has suffered”. He finds Bonatz's original visions “difficult to digest”, which went “in the direction of a knight's castle or Valhalla” and can still be found on the building. Nevertheless, he considers the station building to be a “first-class monument”.

In its decision to demolish the side wings, the Stuttgart Regional Court stated that only the head platform hall, the tower, the counter halls and the columned hall were decisive for the architectural recognition of the work, but not the side wings.

Tracks and platforms

Platforms above ground

Since the existing tracks to the old station were in operation until the new one went into operation, a three-part track hall was provided in the competition design at the suggestion of the General Directorate of the State Railways. Later this plan was changed to low canopies of the individual platforms with smoke slots above the tracks, the pillars of these roofs were placed on the baggage platforms. Due to the shortage of materials after the First World War, the planned platform roofing for tracks 1 to 16 was not made of steel, but of wood. After it was destroyed in the Second World War, a new reinforced concrete roof was built. The above-ground platforms have a continuous platform height of 76 centimeters, are usually 8.45 meters wide and between 326 meters (platform 7, with tracks 13 and 14) and 470 meters (platform 8, with tracks 15 and 16) long.

Platforms S-Bahn

In the underground S-Bahn station (third basement), lines S1 to S6 and S60 of the Stuttgart S-Bahn stop on two tracks (tracks 101 and 102) . S-Bahn (S-Bahn) in the direction of Schwabstraße stop on track 101, while the S-Bahn ( S-Bahn) in the direction of Bad Cannstatt and Nordbahnhof stops on track 102 . The platform is 96 centimeters high and 210.3 meters long.

Above-ground track apron

The track apron connects five tracks for regional and long-distance traffic (one track to the Gäubahn and two tracks each in the direction of Bad Cannstatt and Feuerbach) with the station tracks, and five more tracks connect the main train station with the parking facility at Rosensteinpark. The track apron is protected as a whole under the Baden-Württemberg Monument Protection Act, but will be removed from Stuttgart 21 after completion.

Tunnel mountains

The necessary overpass structures were built according to plans by Karl Schaechterle between 1908 and 1914. Of particular importance is the three-story southern overpass, better known as the track or tunnel mountains . It enables operation without crossings, in some cases comparable to that of a through station, and received a lot of attention from experts at the time. This was due to the fact that, for the first time in railway construction, more than two tracks were laid one above the other.

A 700 meter long and 32 per thousand steep ramp connects the tracks with the S-Bahn station. It passes under the tracks and platform systems of the terminus over a length of around 500 meters. In the course of their construction, tracks 1 to 3 were not available from 1971 to 1974. As a replacement, a platform was built on track 1a.

In preparation for the Stuttgart 21 project, platforms have been extended and relocated in the direction of the apron since May 2010. Track 1a was removed in September 2010 so that a construction logistics route could be built in its place.

Before the start of construction work for Stuttgart 21, the Stuttgart main station had a total of 140 kilometers of railway tracks and 385 points on an area of ​​82 hectares.

Signal boxes

When the station opened, there were two command control centers : From tracks 1 to 4, routes to and from the suburban tracks to Cannstatt could be set from track 1, and tracks 4 to 7 could be used to enter and exit the suburban tracks to Feuerbach. The routes for the long-distance traffic tracks were provided from signal box 2, tracks 7 to 12 could be used to enter and exit the Gäubahn as well as the long-distance tracks to Feuerbach, and tracks 8 to 13 could be accessed from the long-distance tracks Cannstatt. On tracks 12 to 16, it was possible to enter from the long-distance tracks from Feuerbach and exit to the long-distance tracks in the direction of Bad Cannstatt. In addition, there were further signal boxes for the connection to the parking yard (signal boxes 3 and 5) and to the freight yard (signal box 4).

In 1977 the signal boxes were replaced by a central signal box south of platform 16. Since then there have been regular train routes from and to the S-Bahn tracks to Bad Cannstatt from tracks 1 to 6 and the S-Bahn tunnel, from and to the S-Bahn tracks to Zuffenhausen from tracks 3 to 12 and the S-Bahn Railway tunnel and from and to the Gäubahn from tracks 3 to 12. It is possible to enter from the long-distance tracks from Zuffenhausen on tracks 3 to 16, and the exit towards Zuffenhausen from tracks 3 to 12. Trains can take the long-distance tracks to Bad Cannstatt Exit via tracks 12 to 16; you can drive from there to tracks 8 to 13.

Station tower

Bahnhofsturm (before 2010, seen from the middle palace garden)

The 56 meter high station tower is a landmark of the city of Stuttgart and forms the end of Königstraße. It is founded on 288–290 piles between 10 and 11 meters in length . It is controversial whether the piles are made of reinforced concrete or oak, but Deutsche Bahn refuses to drill test holes because, according to the report, the station tower is on reinforced concrete piles and the question is not of decisive importance for the construction of Stuttgart 21. When it was completed in 1916, the tower only had a restaurant on the top floor and a waiting room intended for King Wilhelm II . In 1926, the café run by Eugen Bürkle (with a meeting room, tea room, wine bar, dining room and roof restaurant) was advertised with the slogan “Most beautiful train station restoration rooms in Germany”. After the tower was little damaged in World War II , a rotating Mercedes star with a diameter of 5 meters was installed on the tower roof in 1952 , which has shaped the silhouette of the building ever since. The proceeds went towards rebuilding the station. From 1955 to 1976 the station tower was used as a hotel and at times also as accommodation for railway employees. The Turmforum has been providing information on the Stuttgart 21 project on four levels since 1998. In the conference room on level 9, the Stuttgart-Mitte registry office has been offering the possibility of getting married since 2000 . There is also a bistro and a viewing terrace in the tower (elevator and entry free). There is a clock on the tower with a dial diameter of five and a half meters.

Head platform hall

Head platform hall in 2007, view towards the north exit

The head platform hall is directly adjacent to the cross platform hall of tracks 1 to 16. On the track side, the head platform hall is closed with a reinforced concrete wall in order to reduce the effects of a possible brake failure. The eight round arches to the cross platform are divided into three parts: At the top they are each closed by a round arched window, the middle part at the height of the platform roofs is solid and in the lower part there is a full-width passage to the cross platform hall, where the platform barriers were originally located. A similar arrangement can be found on the opposite side facing the city. The original ceiling construction was destroyed in the Second World War, the current roof was completed in 1950.

Between the small and large ticket halls, on the side facing away from the tracks, there were originally waiting rooms and restaurants that were separated into classes . Some of the 40 shops and restaurants that were in the station in 2009 were built into the head platform hall, the others can be reached from the hall. The building ends with an arcade towards Arnulf-Klett-Platz . At the transition to the station tower, an arch designed as a glare field takes up the design of the arch fields, while a balcony facing the head platform hall gives the hall the character of an outdoor area.

Dovecote for city pigeons

In the course of the Stuttgart 21 project, the passageways that now lead to the cross-platform hall are to be closed by a glass construction, but the basic tripartite division of the round arches is to be retained. On the side facing the city, the wall panels in the middle of the arched fields are to be partially removed in order to be able to illuminate the office space behind. Two stair connections and three light openings are to be created for the distribution level below the head platform hall, so that the head platform hall will remain “accessible and tangible”. With its current function, however, it will also lose some of its importance.

A wire cage has been erected in an elevated form in the hall as a dovecote , which serves to limit the multiplication of city ​​pigeons .

North exit

North and east side of the station building in February 2015, north exit in the center of the picture

The north exit connects the head platform hall with Friedrichstrasse ( B 27 ), until 2012 it was the only barrier-free access to the main station. Originally there was a station forecourt with a pavilion in the center in front of the north exit, later a parking lot and access to the underground Velcro passage . From summer 2012 to October 2013 the north exit was closed and direct access to the Klett-Passage was not usable, as the technology building for Stuttgart 21 is being built at this point. The parking lot, which has also not been available since summer 2012, has been partially usable again since mid-2014. Barrier-free access was only possible via a detour during the shell construction of the technical building: A new passage was created on the north-west side, around 100 meters next to the former north exit, to the side of the platforms, which currently serves as another barrier-free access to the station.

The arch field above the north exit takes up the design of the other arch fields of the head platform hall.

Small counter hall

The small counter hall is oriented towards Lautenschlagerstraße and the Zeppelin building , also designed by Bonatz and Scholer . The small counter hall was originally intended for the suburban traffic in Stuttgart via tracks 1 to 6 and also provided access to the adjoining Reichsbahn hotel , which later became the Intercity Hotel . Today the small counter hall is used for events at times, otherwise it is empty.

Central exit

Middle exit in the platform hall with the coat of arms of the former Königstor

The central exit (also central hall) connects the head platform hall with the Arnulf-Klett-Platz, it is set back behind the pillars of the arcades. As a counterpart to the clearly perceptible entrances, it is not visible from the outside. Above the central exit is a coat of arms of Württemberg , which was moved here when the Königstor was demolished at the end of Königstraße in 1922. From the middle exit there is access to the Klett-Passage, there is no way to cross the Arnulf-Klett-Platz above ground. As part of the Stuttgart 21 project, the stairs to the head platform hall are to be divided into three parts and the middle part of the stairs is to be torn down to create direct access to the distribution level behind.

Large ticket hall

Interior view of the large ticket hall in 2015

In the facade of the reception building, the large counter hall appears as a risalit and an independent structure. The arched opening towards the city enhances the monumentality and thus affects the routing. It also takes up the motif of a city gate, which was traced due to the original location of the station in front of the city. The spatial effect results not only from the spaciousness of the hall, but also from the functionality for rail travelers. The former Königstor, which had stood at the beginning of Untere Königstraße since 1809 and actually served the function of a city gate, was perceived as a traffic obstacle after the construction of the main station and was demolished in 1922. Paul Bonatz saved the coat of arms of the Königstor and had it installed above the central entrance in the platform hall.

The large ticket hall was initially intended for long-distance traffic, which was handled via tracks 7 to 16. The large ticket hall accommodates traffic coming from Königstraße , but is not aligned with the axis of Königstraße. Inside, the large counter hall has the character of a vestibule , the way to the head platform hall leads via an outside staircase. The original staircase was demolished in the 1970s and replaced with a new staircase and two escalators. During the same period, the floor was broken through in order to create access to the Velcro passage.

Today, the DB travel center and the AIRail check-in counters are located in the large counter hall, and the large counter hall is connected to Königstraße via the underground Velcro passage.

As part of the Stuttgart 21 project, the wall of the large counter hall facing the train station is to be broken through in order to gain direct access to the planned distribution level behind. The planned openings should take up the proportions of the round arches above. The stairs to the platform hall should be removed, as otherwise the passage width would not be sufficient for the expected flow of people and the spatial separation created when the stairs were retained would inevitably desert the counter hall. The future main distribution bridge is centered on the large counter hall so that the main traffic flows continue through it.

North wing

The approximately 20-meter-wide north wing consisted of a cubic section for the railway mail , which was used by Deutsche Post AG until July 2010 , and adjoining office space that was most recently used by the Intercity Hotel and the Federal Police. With a length of 83 meters, the north wing enclosed only part of the platform facilities; the remaining length was followed by the freight station, which was abandoned around 1995. As part of the Stuttgart 21 project, the north wing was demolished from the end of August 2010 to the end of September 2010 (see also: History of Stuttgart 21 # demolition ).

Kurt-Georg-Kiesinger-Platz is located between the north wing and Heilbronner Strasse , see north exit above . The new LBBW building is located at this place , and the remaining main building of the former Federal Railway Directorate is on the other side of the street .

Palace garden wing

The palace garden wing in September 2010

The palace garden wing, also known as the south wing, continued the axis of Königstrasse and closed off the train station from the palace garden. The wing itself was 200 meters long and, together with the large counter hall and the station tower, formed a 277 meter long facade to the palace garden. The facade was interrupted by the station tower and three 27-meter-wide risalits , which indicated the positions of the passenger tunnel and the former post and express goods tunnels. The wing concealed the difference in height between the Middle Castle Garden and the railway facilities, and in the steam locomotive era it also protected the castle garden from soot and noise from railway operations and served as a blind building . The inside of the wing was used for service rooms and express goods .

The palace garden wing was demolished in January 2012 as part of the Stuttgart 21 project . According to the architect Christoph Ingenhoven, preservation as part of the project was "technically absolutely impossible" because the wing would have cut the new underground platform hall.

Velcro passage

Access to the Klett-Passage from Königstraße

In the second basement under the station forecourt ( Arnulf-Klett-Platz ), seven tram lines cross the lower S-Bahn station. The Klett passage on level −1 is the access and distribution level to the long-distance and regional trains on level +1, to the S-Bahn on level -3, to the city train on level -2, and to Arnulf-Klett-Platz on level 0 and downtown. Among other things, it also houses a larger shopping mall.

Another part of the first basement is an underground car park with 120 parking spaces, which serves as a civil defense facility with 4,500 spaces. In the event of a disaster or defense , part of the underground car park (which can be separated by pressure gates) would be provided with beds, the technical rooms, kitchen, sanitary facilities, water and air treatment for the bunker are located on the second basement floor.

Others

The front of the station building bears a quote from Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel as illuminated inscription: "... that this fear of being wrong is the mistake itself." This neon sign is a work by the artist Joseph Kosuth from the early 1990s.

In the main hall, near the south exit, there is a DB lounge for first-class travelers, bahn.comfort customers as well as first-class AIRail travelers and senators .

The Schillerstrasse (Arnulf-Klett-Platz) in front of the train station is used by up to 50,000 vehicles every day.

Transport links

In 1994 Stuttgart main station had a daily destination and source traffic of 49,400 passengers in regional traffic (excluding S-Bahn) and 39,000 in long-distance traffic (ICE, IC, IR). In 1996, around 49,000 regional and 45,000 long-distance passengers were counted every day. With around 210,000 travelers per day, the train station was the largest in Baden-Württemberg around 2005. In 2014, more than 12,000 people switched between the light rail and regional trains every day.

According to DB, 164 long-distance trains, 426 local trains (as of 2009) and 838 S-Bahn trains (as of 2019) serve the station every day.

In a study by Stiftung Warentest on the punctuality of train traffic at ten German main train stations in autumn 2008, 23 percent of arriving trains arrived at Stuttgart main station with a delay of four minutes or more. Stuttgart Central Station achieved the second best result after Leipzig Central Station . In a more recent study, which compared long-distance traffic arrivals between July 2010 and February 2011 for 20 large German train stations, 30 percent of the trains in Stuttgart arrived at least six minutes late.

In the 1939 summer timetable, the main train station had a total of 88 arrivals and departures per day by regular long-distance trains. In the ranking of the most heavily used nodes in the network of the Deutsche Reichsbahn, it was ranked 18th. With a total of 205 arrivals and departures of regular long-distance trains per day, the main station was the fifteenth most important node in the network of the Deutsche Bundesbahn in the 1989 summer timetable. With a total of 284 such arrivals and departures, it was in seventh place in the Deutsche Bahn network in the 1996 summer timetable. With 242 arrivals and departures per day, it was ranked 11th in the 2004 annual timetable.

As a rule, most train runs end / begin in Stuttgart Central Station. This means that you usually have to change trains in Stuttgart.

Among other things, this concentration on the Stuttgart main train station is to be counteracted with the “Stuttgart 21” project: The regional traffic connections are then to be tied through so that there is no need to change to important routes.

Of the seven local transport lines starting in Stuttgart, the line to Tübingen, with an average of 32,100 passengers on weekdays, was the most popular in 2014.

The main station (low) station is listed as TS T in the operating point directory.

In 2010, around 49,200 passengers drove daily from Bad Cannstatt and around 46,100 passengers from Feuerbach per day. Around 103,000 travelers came from the city ​​center . Around 1993 the S-Bahn station was used by around 120,000 passengers, including 55,000 people changing to long-distance, regional and city transport, around 15,000 passengers in the cross-corner traffic between Feuerbach and Bad Cannstatt and around 50,000 people getting on and off.

Until 2015, the station was rebuilt in favor of fire protection. The suspended lamellar ceiling was also removed, which means that the bus stop looks like a shell. Now the station is to be modernized between the end of 2019 and the end of 2020 for 9 million euros, the railway speaks of "revitalization" and a modern appearance.

Freight transport

In addition to the passenger station, there was also a now disused and already demolished freight and small marshalling yard whose drainage hill was even equipped with track brakes . The freight yard was used until the 1980s. Freight traffic was completely relocated to Kornwestheim , this decision was made independently of the Stuttgart 21 project.

city ​​traffic

Light rail

There is a tram stop for the Stuttgart tram under the Arnulf-Klett-Platz (station forecourt) . It has 4 tracks in regular service . The tracks of the cross-valley lines are south of the tracks to Berliner Platz. There are regular services:

particularities

IATA code for Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof

The station uses the IATA airport code ZWS , as it is used by Lufthansa together with Deutsche Bahn and Fraport in the AIRail concept. For example, travelers on ICEs that also have a Lufthansa flight number can travel to Frankfurt Airport instead of using a feeder flight . For this purpose there is a Lufthansa check-in machine in the travel center. Until 2007, travelers could drop off or pick up their luggage at the Lufthansa check-in counter, after which only the check-in was carried out there.

Stuttgart 21

Overview map of the Stuttgart 21 project

Stuttgart 21 is a traffic and urban development project currently under construction to completely reorganize the Stuttgart railway junction . The existing terminal station is to be rotated by around 90 ° and converted into a through station with eight tracks. For this purpose, the track leads are laid in tunnels from all sides. The aim is to increase the capacity of the station, shorten transfer routes and reduce maintenance costs. In the course of the discourse about the project, several alternative plans were suggested by groups of critics, including the comprehensive modernization and the gradual expansion of the existing station under the concept name Head Station 21 .

In the feasibility study submitted in 1995 , the costs of the underground station (today's planning approval section 1.1, without the feeder tracks required by its new location) were estimated at 930 million DM (476 million euros). In 2009 the costs were put at 400 million euros. According to the general planner Ingenhoven, the calculated costs would be less than ten percent above the original cost estimate (as of 2013). For the further "third-party use" of the Bonatz building, Deutsche Bahn AG has set costs of around 110 million euros, which are not part of the Stuttgart 21 project.

Planned measures

The main station forms the plan approval section 1.1 of the Stuttgart 21 project. The plan approval procedure was applied for on October 31, 2001 as the first section of Stuttgart 21. The five-day public hearing ended on April 11, 2003 after more than 50 hours of debate. It was considered the largest and most complicated hearing process in the history of the Stuttgart Regional Council. The planning approval decision was issued by the Federal Railway Authority on January 28, 2005 and became legally binding in June 2006. The Federation for Environment and Nature Conservation Germany (BUND) had brought an association action against the decision . By mid-2015, there were fourteen plan change procedures, including fundamental changes such as doubling the amount of groundwater withdrawn (7th change in plan), the installation of additional escape staircases (6th change in plan) or the shortening and now open construction of the Nesenbach culvert (14th change in plan).

Construction work on the southern end of the main station, with future smoke extraction structure (January 2019)

In July 2015, a further change in the plan was announced, in the context of which the smoke extraction structure in Sängerstraße will remain externally unchanged, but will receive significantly more powerful ventilation systems. The order for the smoke extraction system, which should be able to convey 2000 m³ of air per second, was awarded at the end of 2019 for 24 million euros.

Pedestrian systems

The four central platforms, each 420 meters long, should be 10 meters wide and thus 1.60 meters wider than the platforms of today's terminus.

The resulting from the planned receipts, bridges, stairs, elevators and platforms comfortable movement of passengers was in a pedestrian flow analysis examined. In the peak hour, the traffic quality is predominantly in the area of ​​quality level C ("restricted speed choice") and partly in the area of ​​quality level D ("significantly restricted speed choice"), outside the peak hour the quality levels A and B (free or almost free traffic flow) reached.

Railway system

The station should have eight platform tracks, which are to be connected to four access tracks at both station heads:

  • In the northwest with two tracks each towards Feuerbach and Bad Cannstatt.
  • In the southeast with two tracks each towards the airport / exhibition center / Ulm and towards Wangen / Ober- / Untertürkheim.
Schematic track plan of the underground station (with eight tracks)

The two station heads are planned to be free of height with flyover structures . It should be possible to enter five of the eight platform tracks from each of the four entry directions. The two middle platform tracks should be able to be used alternately from all four directions. The planned entry speeds of the routes are 60 km / h (outer tracks), 80 km / h and 100 km / h (middle tracks 4 and 5). Driveway exclusions are beyond through flexible choice of slip ways to avoid existing Einfahrstraßen. The number of points (each without the depot) is to decrease from 225 to 48 compared to the terminal station.

In the course of the preliminary project initiated in early 1995 , the track plan of the planned underground station had been optimized for one directional operation so that all platforms in the respective direction can be reached from all feeder tracks. The planned north end of the station had been changed compared to the regional planning procedure after an anhydrite lens was found during the ground investigation . The last exit and entry points were moved around 150 meters towards the main train station. The transition from two double-track to four single-track tubes was also brought forward.

Longitudinal section of the underground station

The planned station concourse measures 447 meters in length and 80.58 meters in width, with a height of 10 to 12 meters. The building is to on a 1.60 to 2.50 meters thick plate founded are and are anchored with 3,700 posts. The system should be between 6 and 8 meters in the groundwater. According to the project sponsors, there is a more than 35-meter-thick, water-impermeable layer between the deepest point of the foundation and the mineral water. The construction of the new main station is only possible with the open construction method in order to avoid disturbances in the groundwater balance.

The plan approval section begins in the northwest with construction kilometers -0.442. At this point in the area of ​​Jägerstrasse 24, the connecting tunnels created using the mining method flow into the main station (created using the open construction method). The gradient initially drops from 241 meters ( SOK , terrain height: 258 meters) to the south for 404 meters with 13.1 per thousand and then goes over to a gradient of 15.1 per thousand for a further 459 meters, before a turning point in the southern head (km +0.345, SOK 230 meters, 12 meters below ground) is reached, from which the gradient rises to 4.1 per mille up to the end of the section. The section boundary is +0.432 construction kilometers, in the area of ​​Willy-Brandt-Platz, at the transition to the connecting tunnels to be excavated using the mining method.

The longitudinal slope of up to 15.1 per mille in the platform area above the standard value for station tracks of 2.5 per mille is required, according to the railway, due to several compulsory points (urban railway lines, mineral water deposits). The platform's slope of 10 per mille towards the center of the platform ensures safe use. In March 2016 it became known that the proof of the same security required for operation had not yet been provided. It is therefore also unclear which operational restrictions will require this increased longitudinal slope. Critics see considerable risks from unintentionally moving trains in this inclination.

The useful lengths of the platform tracks with conventional signaling are between 419 and 437 m when used by a train and between 206 and 224 m. An optimization with ETCS and ATO should take place.

Station building

Planned construction work in the area of ​​the main train station
Around 280 trees are to be felled or moved in the area of ​​the main station.

Various changes are to be made to the remaining part of the previous station building, the so-called Bonatz Building , parallel to the Stuttgart 21 project , while the function of the building is to be retained. The building will receive a new supporting structure and modern building technology while retaining the facade . Construction work on the Bonatzbau should start in 2018 and be completed in 2021. An updated construction schedule provided for the shell construction work to begin in early 2020. The contract for the structural work was finally awarded in June 2020 for 89.5 million euros.

A hotel, restaurant and conference complex with 150 hotel rooms is to be built on four levels in the above-ground part of the building. Levels +3 and +4 will be newly created for this purpose, but set back from Schillerstraße for monument protection reasons so that they do not impair the overall impression of the building from there.

Manfred-Rommel-Platz with the roof of the through station is to be built at the height of today's track systems and today's platform hall ( level +1 ) . This area, delimited to the south by the Bonatz building and to the north by a new train station building, is intended to connect Kurt-Georg-Kiesinger-Platz with the palace gardens. Daylight reaches the platforms through 27 light eyes , each 4.30 meters high .

Below (level 0) a distribution level is to be created with entrances from the station tower, Königsstraße, Königsallee (Cannstatter Straße) and the new city quarter. In the level below (level −1) the four platforms with eight platform tracks are to be arranged. An access to the lower, double-track S-Bahn station is to run below the new platform tracks. A new multi-storey car park is to be built below the northern part of the station building and (underground) to the north of it. The S-Bahn level including its entrances is to function as level −2 .

In addition to the existing entrances, access to the station building is to be via four 23-meter-wide and up to 10-meter-high glass grille shells. A total of more than 35 escalators and 15 panoramic elevators are planned.

The platforms are to be accessed via three distribution walkways (0 level) at the level of the two ticket halls and the planetarium / state gallery. Each platform is to be accessed by three elevators, five escalators and five fixed stairs. A new link to the Staatsgalerie tram stop is to be created at the Ostkopf.

Schematic overview of the platform entrances with bottlenecks

The main access to the platform level is the middle footbridge (footbridge B) , which is to be accessed via the large counter hall and the new entrance at the station tower (in the south) and at the Europaviertel (in the north). Each of the four platforms is accessed from this footbridge via an elevator and two escalators and one fixed staircase on each side. Critics complain about the passage width of just 2.04 meters, which remains between the outer edge of the staircase and the platform edge at the height of this staircase.

The western footbridge (footbridge A) is mainly to be accessed via the new entrance at Kurt-Georg-Kiesinger-Platz and the small counter hall. From this footbridge, each platform is accessed via an elevator and on each side via a fixed staircase and an escalator. The passage width at the narrowest point is 2.85 meters.

The eastern footbridge (footbridge C) is accessed via the entrance to the State Gallery, which can be reached through a pedestrian tunnel. An elevator, two escalators and two flights of stairs are planned for the exit to the State Gallery. He has no access to piers A and B and therefore no access to the Bonatz building. From the distribution level, each platform is connected via an elevator as well as an escalator and a fixed staircase in a westerly direction. The passage width between the stairs and the platform edge is 2.86 meters each.

On the opposite side of the new through station, after the commissioning of Stuttgart 21, an additional station building is to be built, which will serve as a station entrance from the north and also accommodate operating rooms. The tram line under Heilbronner Strasse (from mid-2011 to mid-2014) and the Staatsgalerie tram stop (from February 2013) are to be changed. The relocation of the main collector in Nesenbach (originally planned for the end of 2011 to mid-2014, then started in June 2015) and West are among the numerous other construction measures .

Light and air conditioning

The railway system is designed as a zero-energy station : the air conditioning is to take place exclusively through the use of geothermal energy and cooling by incoming trains. Even without artificial heating, the temperature in the platform hall should not fall below ten degrees (with an outside temperature of −20 degrees Celsius) or exceed 29 degrees. The light eyes can be opened for ventilation and smoke extraction. Tests have shown that the station concourse is naturally lit for up to 14 hours a day using the light eyes provided and that it can do without artificial light during this time. In-ground lights on the platform edges should mark the transition from the platform to the track bed. On average, 5 percent of the daylight should get inside, under the light eyes 10 to 15 percent.

history

planning

On the basis of “preliminary operational considerations”, the central station planned in the feasibility study from the beginning of 1995 provided for eight platform tracks with four central platforms each 10 meters wide and 420 meters long. The tracks used in the direction of operation were to have transfer connections in the adjoining tunnels. To the northwest, two double-track connecting tunnels were to connect, which, after a narrow curve in a north-easterly direction, south of the Mittnachtstrasse station (at the level of Wolframstrasse), were to split into a branch towards Feuerbach and one towards Bad Cannstatt. To the south-east, four single-track tunnel tubes (two towards Ober- / Untertürkheim , two towards the airport ) were to be immediately adjacent to the switch hall . The Bonatz building was to be retained in this exemplary design, with an additional entrance being created in the side wing on Cannstatter Strasse. The length of the railway system should be inclined by up to 11 per thousand. The feasibility study assumed costs of 928 million DM for the section of the main train station crossing the valley (807 million DM plus 15 percent planning costs, price as of 1993), adjusted for inflation, this corresponds to 695 million euros.

The Stuttgart 21 synergy concept presented at the end of 1995 provided for an eight-track through station with three middle and two outer platforms. Traffic forecasts expect an increase to 70,400 (long-distance traffic) and 53,100 (regional traffic) travelers per day. The share of through traffic in total traffic should be around 50 percent in long-distance and almost 20 percent in regional traffic in 2010 (13,000 and 54,000 travelers per day, respectively). The planning was later modified, in the meantime four central platforms are planned in the station hall.

In 1996 and 1997 a regional planning procedure was carried out for the Stuttgart 21 project. The solution of a through station favored by Deutsche Bahn was examined as a request route with various sub-variants. This included variants with different platform positions, number of tracks and options for further expansion.

Further variants that deviated from the basic concept of a pure through station at the location of the existing terminus were mentioned in the spatial planning procedure, but not examined equally: The Lean variant provided for a continuation of the terminus, the Kombi variant the construction of a through station for long-distance traffic across the terminus to be retained . In addition, a main train station was shown on Rosenstein , where the main train station was to be abandoned. In addition, station locations in Bad Cannstatt and Untertürkheim were considered.

On February 28, 1997, a Europe-wide architectural competition for the redesign of the main station was announced. The new train station should be a "visible sign of future-oriented mobility and a landmark for Stuttgart and its region".

In a two-stage process, 19 participants were selected for a second round from 118 applicants who had initially submitted a concept. Moreover, eight other offices were high for the second round reputation associated load. A jury chaired by Klaus Humpert initially selected four equal-ranking winners as part of the competition endowed with 145,000 D-Marks until July 1997. The four award-winning and six other designs were exhibited from August 11 to September 14, 1997 at Stuttgart Central Station. All four designs envisaged a main station rotated by 90 degrees with daylight lighting. On November 4, 1997, the design by Ingenhoven, Overdiek, Kahlen and Partner finally prevailed from among 126 entries.

Ingenhoven's concept at the time envisaged moving the station underground for 350 million DM (equivalent to around 243 million euros today) and providing daylight with 27 light shafts each 15 meters wide. The column construction of the station hall ceiling was developed by Frei Otto . The design had already been revised several times during the competition. In the final round there were four designs to choose from.

In 2005, the design received the MIPIM Future Project Award from Architectural Review magazine and a Silver Prize from the regional Holcim Awards, and the following year it also received a Golden Prize in global competition. In 2007, the design won the Chicago Athenaeum's International Architecture Award.

Around 2006, of the estimated total S21 costs of 2.8 billion euros, almost 800 million euros were attributable to the main station. The architect, Christoph Ingenhoven, receives 36 million euros.

At the end of August 2010 a modified building design was presented. Among other things, the size of the four entrances was reduced and the routing and acoustics revised.

Heiner Geißler , who was entrusted with the arbitration of the Stuttgart 21 project , proposed in his arbitration verdict on November 30, 2010, to improve traffic safety, accessibility and fire protection of the through station. In addition to improvements in the access roads, a ninth and tenth track at the main train station are also to be checked. The fire protection concept approved in 2002 was revised by 2016 due to new requirements.

On April 23, 2015, the Federal Railway Authority approved the construction of two escape staircases per platform and changes to the lattice shells of the four direct entrances from the outside. The decision to change the plan for moving the escape staircases that had meanwhile been planned on the platforms to the ends of the station concourse was delayed and is now expected in the course of summer 2017.

Ingenhoven stated the cost of the train station at the end of 2017 as “well” below one billion euros.

Planned construction phases on the construction pits in the station area

With the symbolic start of construction on February 2, 2010, renovation work began in the track apron, which was necessary to move the cross platform forward.

On May 18, 2010, Wolff & Müller was awarded the contract to demolish the north wing . The construction site set-up began on July 30, 2010 under police protection, the demolition of the facade of the north wing began on August 25, 2010.

Platform roofs without the glass panes removed in the meantime (August 2012)
Additional concrete supports to stabilize the platform roof block part of platform track 8 (December 2012)

Work on dismantling the south wing began on January 13, 2012 with the gutting of the building. The external demolition of the building began on January 30th and should be completed in March 2012. After a pillar on the platform roof was damaged on March 19, work was suspended for about three weeks. After further damage as a result of gale force gusts on July 1, 2012, platform 15/16 was closed again and the removal of the glass panes on all platform roofs began.

The construction pit, which is around 110 meters wide, was to be bridged by two 10 meter wide walkways from April 2014, and there are also direct accesses to the cross platform from both sides. On the north side, access from the Europaviertel has been possible since October 21, 2013, and on the south side, since January 24, 2014, access via pedestrian walkways from the Mittlerer Schlossgarten. Both entrances are barrier-free.

The necessary advance of the cross platform has been postponed several times. According to the planning status from March 2012, the transverse platform should be gradually brought forward between July and December 2012. At the end of June 2012, just over 50 of the 61 planned construction phases in the apron were completed. Platform tracks 1 and 2 were reconnected without completing the planned preliminary construction work for the new S-Bahn tunnel planned in this area. The construction of the new cross platform was carried out from the end of May 2013 to October 22, 2013 in 13 construction phases. For this purpose, two platform tracks were blocked. To relieve the main station, Deutsche Bahn canceled individual train connections during this period. According to the planning approval, the preparatory work and the commissioning of the transverse platform, which had been moved by 120 meters, should take 18 months, but ultimately took 45 months.

Between April 2012 and October 2013 (completion of the shell), a two-story, underground technical building with an area of ​​1,800 square meters was built under the former parking lot at the north exit.

On March 12, 2012, the construction contract for the underground station, including the culverts West, Cannstatter Strasse and Nesenbach as well as the "Bahnhof access tunnel", was awarded to a bidding consortium of the companies Züblin (management) and Strabag . The formal award was made on March 24, 2012. The construction of the new central station was commissioned for 323.4 million euros, which was agreed as a sliding price. Züblin's own contribution is around 300 million euros. Groundwater management is not part of the scope of services. The total value of the contract was EUR 347.4 million in May 2016 and EUR 364 million in August 2016.

At the end of 2010, the cheapest offer for the construction contract for the underground station was around 360 million euros. The award of the contract initially planned for the end of 2011 had been delayed due to price negotiations. Technical issues have also led to delays. In addition to successful negotiations, technical optimizations, such as a different type of concrete, also contributed to the savings. According to its own information, Deutsche Bahn had expected a price of 300 million euros.

Derailed wagons in the switch area (October 9, 2012)

On July 24, September 29 and October 9, 2012, trains derailed on the exit towards Feuerbach, which had been rebuilt in the course of Stuttgart 21. The newly created S-bend was only equipped with an extremely short intermediate straight. After the most recent derailment, platform tracks 8, 9 and 10 were closed. Deutsche Bahn justified the derailments in January 2013 with “malfunctions in wagon buffers”. A short-term technical solution developed by DB was rejected by the Federal Railway Authority (status: December 2012). The blockage also led to extensive delays of S-Bahn and regional trains. On January 22, 2013, track 10 was released again subject to certain conditions. In addition to multiple units, only pulled trains are allowed to leave. According to the EBA, unrestricted approval is not possible due to the documents submitted. According to Deutsche Bahn, there is no end in sight to these restrictions (as of December 2014). The main cause of the derailments was the over-buffering of the extra-long dining car with other cars in the push- pull trains . The West German dining cars built from 1964 onwards are 27.5 meters long instead of the usual 26.4 meters, the pivot spacing has been increased by 0.5 meters and have buffers with extra-wide plates. When leaving Stuttgart Hbf, the engine driver has to accelerate strongly in order to reach enough speed for the subsequent incline. In the narrow S-bend, the car bodies turned extremely and the buffers of the neighboring car pressed on the outer edge of the dining car buffer plates. These buckled because of the high thrust of the locomotive and the buffers of the neighboring cars wedged. In the straight section of track that followed, the wedged buffers led to the derailment. In contrast to the SBB , the DB locomotives that are lined up at the end of the train have no traction limit in the lower speed range.

In March 2012, civil engineering work was scheduled to begin in early 2013. The civil engineering work for the trough of the main train station began on August 5, 2014 at construction pit 16 in the middle palace garden. A schedule presented in mid-2013 for the excavation work in the Mittlerer Schlossgarten was considered outdated in mid-2014. Of the 14 construction steps planned up to then, 7 had been completed and the work was about five months behind schedule.

An already issued statics verification for the main station is no longer valid since 2014 due to changed legal requirements, a renewal is pending. Civil engineering work on the station was halted at the beginning of March 2015 because the Federal Railway Authority did not have a permit for the construction of additional escape staircases. Contrary to early assumptions, the work was eight months behind schedule.

On January 26, 2016, one year after the date set in the August 2014 schedule, concreting of the floor slab in the first construction pit of the main train station began on the media channel .

Characteristic chalice support on the edge of the future station hall (construction status January 2020)

In June 2017, the concreting of the first chalice column began. Two of the 28 columns are to be concreted in parallel. The seventh cup column was concreted in February 2020.

The former railway management , set on pillars (December 2017)

In mid-2017, the building of the former railway headquarters was undermined and placed on a 1.3 m thick concrete slab. This in turn rests on some supports between which the construction machinery and vehicles can maneuver. The railway had aimed to demolish and rebuild the building built between 1911 and 1912. However, the city of Stuttgart insisted on preservation.

State of construction of the middle part of the future platform hall (open construction site days, January 2020)

Open construction site days, which have been held at the beginning of January since 2016, were visited by between 25,000 and 64,000 people (as of January 2020).

Groundwater management

For the construction of the construction pits, a groundwater lowering of around seven meters by pumping out is planned. The resulting lowering funnel usually extends several hundred meters. In order to reduce the disruptive influences, a re-introduction ( infiltration via injection wells ) is planned in the vicinity of the construction pits. The groundwater must be treated prior to this discharge in order to reduce possible pollution.

For this groundwater management , a total of around three million cubic meters of groundwater was originally intended to be pumped and managed. After a plan change at the beginning of 2011, this amount doubled to 6.8 million cubic meters, so that an amendment to the licensing law became necessary, the scope and effects of which differed estimates. Temporary peaks in funding are to be offset with additional systems.

Groundwater management should start work in January 2013. On June 25, 2012, it was announced that a public hearing was required for the withdrawal quantities , which were doubled by Deutsche Bahn in April 2011 to 6.8 million cubic meters , so that construction work could only start later. According to its own information, Deutsche Bahn plans to open construction pits with less groundwater in the spring of 2013 in order to comply with the plan approval decision, which provides for lower extraction quantities. However, the Federal Railway Authority and the Stuttgart Regional Council assumed that the construction work could not start before 2014. The Federal Railway Authority approved the increased groundwater abstraction on September 22, 2014.

future

Demolition work on the rear part of the former Federal Railway Directorate facing Heilbronner Strasse (August 2012)
The state pavilion (here in March 2012) was located above the southern part of the planned central station and was demolished in August 2012 during the construction work.
Fenced-in construction area of ​​the planned main station in the middle palace garden (June 2013)
Construction roads are being built in the Mittlerer Schlossgarten, on the site of the planned main station (September 2013)

It is planned to gradually build the valley crossing with the main train station in 25 partial construction phases. The shell of the station should be completed by the end of 2017 (as of January 2011). The Staatsgalerie tram stop will be moved to the south side of the future main train station. Preparatory measures for this began at the end of 2014, when completion was scheduled for 2019/2020 at the latest [out of date] .

The excavated material is brought to a central logistics area at the Inner North Station via separate construction roads and a conveyor belt, and from there it is transported on freight trains. The commissioning of the new station is planned for December 2021.

A traffic forecast expects Template: future / in 5 yearsaround 207,600 travelers in long-distance and regional traffic for 2025, 118,800 of them from the direction of Feuerbach and Bad Cannstatt and 88,800 from the Filder Tunnel and from Ober- / Untertürkheim. According to a traffic forecast, the regional accessibility of the Stuttgart main station traffic cell by public transport, assessed according to the average travel time weighted according to traffic demand, should improve from 32 minutes (2010) to 31 minutes (2025).

The Stuttgarter Netz AG , a consortium of several private railway companies, intended to operate a part of the train station on. The company reckoned with up to 100 trains a day that should stop at the terminus. To this end, eight tracks at the terminus station, the feeder lines from Bad Cannstatt, Feuerbach and Vaihingen and the existing signal box were to be retained. In total, a quarter of the existing space was to be retained. Calculated annual costs of 1.6 million euros should be set against income from train path and station charges of 1.8 million euros. Among other things, branch lines such as the Schönbuch and Wieslaufbahn to Stuttgart main station were to be linked. The company failed in July 2018 with a lawsuit before the Federal Administrative Court , in which it demanded that the Federal Railway Authority should order a decommissioning procedure in accordance with the General Railway Act before the above-ground track system was dismantled . The court found that DB Netz was not obliged to offer third parties the above-ground facilities of the Stuttgart terminus station for continued use after the Stuttgart underground station went into operation. The Stuttgart District Court rejected an application by the company to open insolvency proceedings in September 2018 due to lack of assets, and the company was dissolved.

Rail operations

According to a simulation commissioned by the project executing agency, the optimal performance range of the through station is 42 to 51 trains per hour, whereas with an expanded terminal station (concept terminal station 21) it is 28 to 38 trains per hour. The maximum capacity is 72 trains in the through station and 43 trains per hour in the head station. In 2002, Deutsche Bahn stated the capacity increase of the 8-track through station compared to the 16-track terminus station was 50 percent, and if the inflow from Feuerbach were expanded, even 125 percent more trains could run during rush hour. In the course of the digital node Stuttgart , trains should be able to run on the eight tracks of the main station every five minutes.

Critics doubt this information. The local transport company Baden-Württemberg confirmed an expert opinion, according to which the existing terminal station could already run 50 trains, with improved signaling technology 56 trains.

Offer planning 2020

The Baden-Württemberg local transport company created an offer concept for regional transport 2020, taking Stuttgart 21 and other infrastructure measures into account. The following local transport lines are planned (status: 2010):

Further development

Deutsche Bahn plans to run an IC line from Bamberg to Tübingen via Stuttgart by the end of 2028 at the latest; an IC line from Lindau to Saarbrücken via Stuttgart is planned from December 2029 (status: 2015).

The Flixtrain line Hamburg – Stuttgart will be offered from spring 2020 .

From the end of 2023, a new Karlsruhe – Stuttgart – Nuremberg – Leipzig intercity line will run through the station. The opening of this line was initially planned for 2030 and was brought forward later.

The expert draft submitted in October 2018 for the Germany-Takt (for the year 2030) provides for a train service of 34.5 train pairs per hour for the Stuttgart main station. Additional trains at rush hour are not yet included. In the second expert draft submitted in May 2019, 36.5 train pairs per hour are envisaged.
