The Münchner Nordring is a railway bypass line on the northern edge of the Bavarian capital of Munich, which is in parts only used by freight trains . It is important in freight traffic, also because the Munich North marshalling yard is on the route.

Route

Section of the north ring from Freimann freight yard to the west towards Moosach

The north ring begins at the Olching train station and runs from there north of Gröbenzell to the Allach district of Munich . This is where connecting lines from the high-speed line Nuremberg – Ingolstadt – Munich join before the line then passes the Munich North marshalling yard. In the area of Ausfahrgruppe there is a connection curve over the Bahnhof München-Moosach to Bahnhof München-Laim . The Munich – Regensburg railway is also reached from here in a northerly direction.

The route Am Oberwiesenfeld runs east of the marshalling yard , on the northern edge of the Olympic Village . There used to be a possibility to drive to the former Munich Olympiastadion station .

In the further course of the route to the east there are two train stations that are only used by freight trains: Munich-Milbertshofen and Munich-Freimann . The siding to BMW Plant 1 begins to the west of the Munich-Milbertshofen train station . Today, the tracks of the tram line 23 run along the route of the track formerly branching off east of it to the Munich-Schwabing freight station . It passes under Lilienthalallee and the A9. To the east of the Munich-Freimann train station there is a siding to the U6 line of the Munich subway , which is used to deliver subway trains. After crossing the Isar over the Föhringen railway bridge , the line merges into the Munich East – Munich Airport railway line and separates from it again at Daglfing station . It then continues over a single-track connecting curve to the Munich-Trudering train station , where shortly afterwards it changes to the main line in the direction of Rosenheim .

Until after the Second World War , there was also a branch from the Steinwerk block near Eichenau on the ( Munich – Buchloe railway ) to Olching. The main features of this can still be seen today, there are no longer any tracks. Nevertheless, the mileage still starts at the Steinwerk block.

history

Moosach – Schwabing

The first railway line, which later became part of the Munich Nordring, was opened on October 1, 1901. It was a local train only for freight traffic from Moosach station near Munich on the Munich – Landshut line via Milbertshofen to Munich-Schwabing .

Munich East Schwabing

On June 5, 1909, the Munich-East-Ismaning local railway was opened. From Johanneskirchen, a train station on this route, to Munich-Schwabing, another local line for freight traffic was put into operation at the same time. The Munich Nordring was closed in the first stage of expansion.

Connection to Mühldorf

Former railway line from Johanneskirchen to Feldkirchen

In 1942, the Deutsche Reichsbahn put the Feldkirchner Tangente from the Munich Northeast branch (near Johanneskirchen) to Feldkirchen as a direct connection between the Nordring and the Mühldorf line . An extension of the connection to Zorneding on the Rosenheim route was planned, but was not completed. After the Second World War, the connecting line was no longer served and closed in 1949.

Freight transport

The route is used by many national and international freight trains. This included up to its setting, among other things, the trains of rolling road Manching - Brennersee .

Local operating trips

At Milbertshofen station, goods traffic is carried out in particular with the oil industry . BMW also handles factory traffic from Milbertshofen .

Freimann station has only a few sidings left. There are various customers in the Euro-Industriepark , among others .

North of Johanneskirchen is heating plant north of Stadtwerke München with coal - block trains operated.

passenger traffic

For the 1972 Olympic Games, the north ring was used to run S-Bahn and special trains from the west (Moosach) as well as from the east (Englschalking) to the specially built Munich Olympiastadion station . After the Olympics, the station was only approached sporadically during events and only from the west. After the European Football Championship in 1988, the station was finally shut down and abandoned.

For railway employees who worked at the Munich North marshalling yard, there was a shuttle train between this station and the Munich-Moosach stop until the 1990s. This train was formed from a Uerdingen rail bus .

Apart from a few night trains and the S-Bahn to the airport on the Daglfing – Johanneskirchen section, there is no scheduled passenger traffic on the Nordring. Only when the railway line via Munich South or between Olching and Laim is blocked , the route is used in diversion traffic.

The Bavarian Ministry of the Interior , the Munich planning department and the MVV are carrying out a feasibility study for S-Bahn traffic on Munich's Nordring. BMW is campaigning for better connections to its research and innovation center via such a connection. An S-Bahn connection for commuters is to be built between Karlsfeld on the Munich – Ingolstadt railway line and the Euro Industrial Park . A stop is to be built on Knorrstrasse , which would be located near the Frankfurter Ring underground station . In Karlsfeld there would be a connection to the S-Bahn line S 2 .

Munich-Freimann train station is located south of the former Munich Freimann AW , where several thousand people used to work. Today there is still the DB Systemtechnik (former research and technology center ) of the Deutsche Bahn , to which test vehicles are still being transferred. The area of ​​the AW is used in many ways today. On the one hand parts belong to the Euro-Industriepark , on the other hand the partly listed buildings are used for sport, culture, hotel and gastronomy, for example the event hall Zenith , the Motorworld and the club of the sports club ESV München-Freimann .

expansion

In order to unbundle freight traffic from S-Bahn traffic, it is planned to expand the Daglfing – Englschalking – Johanneskirchen section to four tracks . To this end, plans have been underway for a rail tunnel, the so-called Bogenhausen rail corridor , since 2019 .

In order to create a direct connection between the north ring and the Munich – Mühldorf railway line and the Munich-Riem transshipment station , the so-called Daglfinger curve is planned. So far, freight trains on this route have had to turn around in the Munich East marshalling yard or they run via Munich's Südring . This measure could relieve the Munich East marshalling yard and the Südring. In addition, the line between the Daglfing and Trudering stations is to be expanded to double tracks.
