The Rosenheim – Kufstein border line is a double-track, electrified main line in Bavaria . It leads from Rosenheim to the German-Austrian border near Kufstein .
history
A state treaty between Austria and Bavaria dated June 21, 1851 regulated the connection of the railways to be built in both states. Since there was no direct rail link between Vienna and Tyrol at that time, it was agreed in Article 1 to build a railway line on the Bavarian side from Munich to the border near Salzburg and a railway line from Rosenheim to the Tyrolean border near Kufstein. In Article 2, Austria committed itself to building a railway from Salzburg to Bruck an der Mur and from Kufstein to Innsbruck .
The line from Rosenheim to the state border was opened on August 5, 1858 as part of the Bavarian Maximiliansbahn .
Since December 14, 2014 no trains stop in Pfraundorf, the stop is to be modernized.
In the course of the refugee crisis in Europe from 2015 onwards , the route increasingly became a destination for African migrants in summer 2017, who gained access to the Federal Republic of Germany as stowaways on freight trains coming from Italy. While at the beginning of the year only 20 people per month who had entered the country in this way were picked up, the number rose to 100 in July.
Route description
From Rosenheim the route heads south. After leaving Rosenheim train station , the southern part of the Rosenheim loop ( Rosenheim curve ) joins the route. The curve was opened on February 8, 1982 and connects the route, bypassing the Rosenheim train station, with the Rosenheim – Salzburg route . In Rosenheim station there is also a connection to the Rosenheim – Mühldorf railway line and the Mangfall Valley Railway to Holzkirchen.
The railway travels through the Bavarian Inn Valley to the south . A standard-gauge industrial railway used to run from the Raubling train station to the Nicklheim peat factory . The narrow-gauge Wendelsteinbahn branched off at Brannenburg station until 1961 . The narrow-gauge industrial railway, which leads from the Kiefersfeld cement works to the quarries in Thiersee , Austria, is still in operation and only transports passengers as Wachtl-Express on selected days . The Wachtl-Express train station in the former cement works can be reached in around 15 minutes via a footpath from the Kiefersfelden train station.
Between Kiefersfelden and Kufstein , the route crosses the state border to Austria. From there it continues as the Lower Inn Valley Railway to Innsbruck Central Station .
traffic
The line is part of the northern approach to the Brenner Railway to Italy and thus part of the Berlin – Palermo railway axis . The travel time between Rosenheim and the border near Kufstein is 15 minutes without stopping, due to the frequent temporary slow-speed areas, a longer journey time is usually calculated.
There was hourly regional train traffic to Innsbruck, which has been broken again in Kufstein since the timetable change in 2009. EuroCity trains (EC), which run every two hours, run on the route via Innsbruck and the Brenner Pass to Italy.
The Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) travel the route without stopping with long-distance trains on the route (Budapest) –Vienna – Salzburg – Innsbruck– Feldkirch - ( Zurich ). EC and RJ trains alternate between Salzburg and Innsbruck every hour between 6:00 am and 11:00 pm (Salzburg – Innsbruck) and 5:00 am and 9:00 pm (Innsbruck – Salzburg; status 2011). There are currently 32 scheduled passenger corridor trains (2009).
Since December 15, 2013, six-car trains of the Bavarian Oberlandbahn (BOB) have been running every hour to half an hour under the brand name Meridian from Kufstein via Rosenheim with all stops on the way to Munich and vice versa. In Rosenheim, the Meridian gives you the option of continuing to Salzburg and taking the Mangfall Valley Railway to Holzkirchen . This service was previously taken over by DB Regio . The Südostbayernbahn offers the onward journey to Mühldorf .
Free travel for the severely disabled is permitted in local transport to Kufstein .
expansion
A four-track expansion of the section from Rosenheim in the direction of Kufstein is constantly being considered and negotiated in order to cope with the expected increase in traffic after the commissioning of the Brenner Base Tunnel. Further expansion plans provide for a high-performance bypass route around Rosenheim, which will branch off the main route at Großkarolinenfeld and meet it again at Brannenburg . There is also talk of a cross-border tunnel ( Schwarzenberg tunnel ), which can exit from KBS 950 at Oberaudorf and only meet the Austrian extension of the line there ( New Lower Inn Valley Railway ) after Kufstein .
In the absence of specific financing options, mainly smaller expansion measures are currently underway. In addition to the removal of level crossings (most recently in Flintsbach and Brannenburg), this also includes the extensive installation of noise barriers, particularly in the municipalities of the Inn Valley, which is already heavily used by traffic.
As part of the starter package of Digital Rail Germany, the route is to be equipped primarily with digital interlockings and ETCS by 2030 .
