The Hohenzollerische Landesbahn (HzL) is a transport company of the Südwestdeutsche Landesverkehrs-AG (SWEG) . Along with AVG and SWEG, it was the largest non-federally owned railway company in Baden-Württemberg . Here she operated passenger and freight traffic since 1900 . Most recently, HzL's field of activity had expanded to include large parts of the south of Baden-Württemberg.

The focus of business activity in 2011 with 32.4 million euros (80%) in sales comes from the rail sector, 11% (4.3 million euros) comes from the bus and 3.6 million euros (9%) in sales Rail freight traffic achieved.

HzL was a member of the tariff association of federal and non-federal railways in Germany (TBNE) and of the Association of German Transport Companies (VDV).

HzL and SWEG (Südwestdeutsche Landesverkehrs-AG) merged on January 1, 2018.

history

The Hohenzollern Lands

HzL was founded in 1899 as Actiengesellschaft Hohenzollern'sche Kleinbahngesellschaft to open up the Sigmaringen administrative district ( Hohenzollernsche Lande ) belonging to Prussia with small railroad lines .

Since the Hohenzollern Lands lay as a long territory in the middle of the Kingdom of Württemberg , the Württemberg State Railroad had only crossed this "foreign" area with its railway lines by the shortest route and only the two district towns of Hechingen in 1869 and Sigmaringen in 1878 to Württemberg Connected to the railway network.

As the founders of the Hohenzollerische Landesbahn, the state of Prussia had taken over 50 percent as well as the state association of the Hohenzollerische Lande and the Westdeutsche Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft each 25 percent of the capital.

Of the Württemberg State Railway tracks the HzL built initially spurs to develop the Prussian territory. The first, six-kilometer stretch, started on March 28, 1900, from the Danube valley near Sigmaringendorf in the Laucherttal north to the Princely Hüttenwerk with the Laucherthal freight station , as far as Bingen . In the following year, HzL handed over three more branch lines to operation:

• on March 18, 1901 from Hechingen to Burladingen ,
• on June 7th 1901 from Eyach via Haigerloch to Stetten with the salt mine Stetten and
• November 7, 1901 by on the Swabian Albbahn located Kleinengstingen to Gammertingen .

After a break of several years, the four branch lines were expanded to form a coherent network:

• From Burladingen the train reached Gammertingen on December 6th, 1908 , where the center of operations with the main workshop is to this day, and continued to the southeast via Hanfertal to Bingen, where the connection to the Ulm-Sigmaringen railway line was reached via the existing line to Sigmaringendorf .
• On October 5, 1910, the shortcut from Hanfertal to Sigmaringen Landesbahnhof was completed. And on December 24, 1912, the last gap between Stetten and Hechingen was closed, creating a continuous stretch of 86 kilometers from Eyach via Hechingen-Gammertingen-Hanfertal to Sigmaringendorf. With the branches to Kleinengstingen (20 kilometers) and Sigmaringen (two kilometers), the HzL network covered a total length of almost 107.4 kilometers, 15 kilometers of which were in Württemberg.

The management was initially in the hands of the Stuttgart operations department of the West German Railway Company . HzL has been running its own business since 1909. The administration is based in Hechingen .

Since 1972 the majority shareholder has been the state of Baden-Württemberg with 71.934 percent, while the Zollernalbkreis and the district Sigmaringen each own 14.033 percent. HzL in turn holds 7.5 percent of the share capital of the Neckar-Alb-Donau transport association (naldo) .

In 2017 the Gammertingen train station was renovated and the mechanical signal box was replaced by an electronic signal box .

On January 1, 2018, HzL merged with Südwestdeutsche Verkehrs-AG . The " HzL " brand should be retained.

Development of the HzL network

Route network of the HzL rail passenger traffic without passenger traffic to Eyach (HzL main network and services on non-HzL main network) plus selected bus services

The main line network of HzL, which was completed over a hundred years ago, is still in operation today. Passenger traffic takes place between Hechingen and Sigmaringen, on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays also to Eyach, while the rest of the network in the years 1968 to 1973 was converted to bus service in sections, today on working days:

• September 29, 1968: Sigmaringendorf – Bingen – Hanfertal (school train until May 30, 1991)
• June 1, 1969: Kleinengstingen – Trochtelfingen
• May 28, 1972: Trochtelfingen – Gammertingen
• October 1, 1972: Eyach – Haigerloch
• June 3, 1973: Haigerloch – Hechingen

The HzL bus service, which began in 1947, now comprises an 800 km network between Reutlingen, Horb, Sigmaringen and Riedlingen.

In 2000, the Gammertingen – Kleinengstingen rail line was reactivated for excursion traffic with the “Rad-Wander-Shuttle” (runs from May to October). Regular traffic has been offered again since December 2019. This should be tailored in particular to the needs of school traffic. The establishment of new stops is also planned.

The HzL's 107.5 kilometer long main network grew by 12.9 kilometers in January 2001 as a result of the lease of the DB's own Balingen – Rottweil line in the section between Balingen and Schömberg that was not dismantled . This route is used by HzL freight traffic and is also used in summer by through coaches of the “Rad-Wander-Shuttle”. In addition, HzL operates the 2.8 kilometer-long section Bräunlingen – Hüfingen of the former SWEG- Bregtalbahn as part of the ring train .

In the Stetten (near Haigerloch) - Weißes Kreuz section, heavy trains may be pushed by a motor vehicle that is not coupled to the train.

In the autumn of 2008, after 30 years, the local rail transport began again with the HzL Classic trains - at least with excursion trains. In 2009, leisure traffic was started as the “3-Löwen-Takt Radexpress Eyachtäler” and gradually expanded. Since 2012 it has been running on Sundays and public holidays from May 1st to the third Sunday in October. A railcar commutes between Eyach and Hechingen Landesbahn every two hours (timetable route 767). Until 2011, a historic MAN railbus set was mainly used (then the deadline for the vehicles and subsequent sale), which was replaced by modern Regio-Shuttle from 2012 . There are more trips to the Haigerloch Christmas market every year. Future timetables provide for a 30-minute cycle following the tourist offer to the Stuttgart metropolitan region on the Gäubahn.

Planning

Preliminary planning for a cycle schedule from the Hechingen cycle hub station to Gammertingen was commissioned. In 2018, the operating concept of the Zollernalbbahn will be checked, followed by the design and approval planning. The electrification and the 30-minute cycle of the Zollernalbbahn will then be implemented in Module 1 of the Neckar-Alb regional light rail .

The HzL railway depot with Regio-Shuttle, built in 2003 for the ring train in Immendingen, was built in 2003

Aulendorf station in 2011 with trains from three different companies

In the last 20 years the area of ​​activity of the Hohenzollerische Landesbahn has expanded considerably.

In freight traffic , HzL has been taking over the traction of the salt block trains from Stetten (near Haigerloch) on DB routes to Ulm since 1990 . Furthermore, HzL carries out area freight traffic between Tübingen , Sigmaringen , Bad Saulgau and Schelklingen in cooperation with Deutsche Bahn ( DB Cargo ).

In passenger transport , the route network used today covers over 400 kilometers. From 1993, HzL took over the management of the Bodensee-Oberschwaben-Bahn , which today runs between Aulendorf and Friedrichshafen . 1997 HzL received the order of the State of Baden-Wuerttemberg for the regional train -Transport between Tuebingen and Aulendorf, of about zollernalb railway , the railway line Ulm-Sigmaringen and the railway Herbertingen-Isny leads.

Since September 2003 it has been operating the 3er- Ringzug in the Schwarzwald-Baar-Heuberg region , a local transport system similar to the S-Bahn with the corner points Blumberg , Tuttlingen , Rottweil , Villingen-Schwenningen and Donaueschingen , for which the "Verkehrsbetrieb Ringzug" with its own local operations management and depot was created. The most recent expansion took place on Lake Constance : In December 2006, it replaced SBB GmbH as the local transport operator in the course of a new tender on the 17-kilometer “ Seehäsle ” route Stockach - Radolfzell .

Since June 9, 2019, the Hohenzollerische Landesbahn has been operating the tendering network 12 "RB Ulmer Stern". This includes the regional railways (RB) Ulm – Aalen , Ulm – Langenau and Ulm – Munderkingen.

HzL also drove local rail transport to order for Deutsche Bahn (DB Regio) on the Rottweil– Horb and Tübingen– Herrenberg ( Ammertalbahn ) routes . The HzL railcars and locomotives were also regularly on the move with special trains and work trains throughout Baden-Württemberg and Switzerland .

Key figures and organization

In 2010, the Hohenzollerische Landesbahn achieved a turnover of 39.9 million euros, of which 82 percent was generated in local rail transport, 7 percent in rail freight transport and 11 percent in bus transport. This corresponds to an increase in sales of 6.3 percent compared to the previous year. The annual surplus was 0.48 million euros. 9 million passengers were carried by rail and 3.8 million by bus. Compared to 2009, the number of passengers in rail transport increased by 4.4 percent, twice as much as the national average.

HzL cooperated with the 100 percent state owned Südwestdeutsche Verkehrs-AG , with which it merged in 2018. Most recently, both companies had the same board of directors.

vehicles

The vehicle stock includes 48 Regio-Shuttle railcars (DB series VT 650) built in 1996/97, 2003, 2005 and 2009, as well as three NE-81 railcars built in 1993 and one NE-81 control car, which are used in the HzL-Bahnbetriebswerke Gammertingen and Immendingen are located. The NE 81 (VT 121), which was used from Immendingen until 2013, was scrapped in the Gammertingen depot in 2016.

The HzL also has six diesel mainline locomotives and a shunting locomotive at its disposal.

In 2011 and 2012 the locomotives V 122, V 119 and V 118 were sold. Two new Voith Gravita 15L BB mainline diesel locomotives were ordered for this purpose. They were delivered as V 180 and V 181 in January and April 2013. Also at the end of 2012, the remaining MAN rail buses VT 5, VT 8, VT 9 and VS 14 were sold to the Schwäbische Albbahn in Münsingen . In 2015, the VT 44 and 45 were handed over to the SWEG in the Achertal . The vehicles were repainted in the new BaWü design, the interior modernized and incorporated into the SWEG vehicle inventory as VT 533 and 534. The vehicles run the train service in the Achertal on the Achertalbahn (KBS 717).

For operation on the tendering network 12 "RB Ulmer Stern" from June 2019, the HzL will use LINT 54 diesel multiple units. This vehicle type will be used for the first time in Baden-Württemberg. The vehicles will have an entry height of 55 centimeters. There will also be 18 bicycle parking spaces in each vehicle.
