The Hanover S-Bahn has been an essential part of the public transport service in the Hanover region since 2000 . This is also where the main focus of the S-Bahn network is, the lines extend to the neighboring districts of Celle , Hameln-Pyrmont , Hildesheim , Nienburg and Schaumburg as well as the districts of Minden-Lübbecke , Höxter , Lippe and Paderborn in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia .
With the introduction of the S-Bahn , the local rail passenger transport of Deutsche Bahn in the Hanover area was modernized, which also includes regional express and regional train trains. In the area of the city of Hanover, there are transfer options to the Hanover city railway at the main train station and at other S-Bahn stations (see local transport in Hanover ). In 2011, 30.9 million passengers were carried on the Hanover S-Bahn.
The railways run on standard gauge tracks (1435 mm).
history
prehistory
Already in the 1960s it was planned to expand the Hanover local rail network. First, local express lines were set up on the east-west axis Nienburg and Minden - Wunstorf - Hanover - Lehrte - Celle and between 1965 and 1970 on the Deisterbahn . Due to disagreement between the federal government, the state and the greater area association, no further extensions were made. In 1984, as an advance payment for an expansion of the line between Wunstorf and Hanover, the Seelze station was relocated and rebuilt with passing tracks. From May 27, 1989 the Deisterbahn and the line between Hanover and Hameln were operated as CityBahn every hour.
S-Bahn construction for Expo 2000
After Hanover was awarded the contract for Expo 2000 in 1990, the introduction of the S-Bahn, originally planned for later, was brought forward and an expansion contract was signed on November 12, 1990 between the state of Lower Saxony, the municipal association of Greater Hanover and the Deutsche Bundesbahn. In a relatively short time, the routes in and around Hanover, which had remained almost unchanged for decades, were significantly expanded. Construction work began in 1993 with the first ramming for the new Hanover Karl-Wiechert-Allee station on the Hanover – Braunschweig railway line, which was supposed to create a link to the city railway .
On the western route from the main train station in the direction of Wunstorf to Seelze, two additional tracks were built for S-Bahn traffic from 1994 and went into operation in 1997. The tracks were laid to the north between Seelze and Leinhausen and south of the existing line between Leinhausen and the main train station, whereby in Hainholz and at the former main freight station the lines of freight tracks that were no longer needed were used. In Leinhausen, an extensive overpass structure was built , which separates local and long-distance traffic to the north and west without crossing and at the same time allows the S-Bahn route to change from the south to the north (or vice versa) of the existing route. The new Hanover-Nordstadt S-Bahn station replaced the previous suburban station Hanover-Hainholz .
The line to the north was extended to Langenhagen by two tracks for the S-Bahn. The Hanover-Herrenhausen train station was replaced by the new Hanover-Ledeburg S-Bahn station . The line to Bennemühlen was electrified and double-tracked to Bissendorf. The Airport Hannover-Langenhagen received a rail-based mass transit connection via the former freight rail, which raised supplemented by a tunnel under the new Terminal C and was electrified for the first time.
In the east, the line to the Karl-Wiechert-Allee station, which had already been built, was expanded by one track and put into operation in 1999. Further to Ahlten , it received two additional tracks and then another track to Lehrte, which was put into operation in June 2000. This expansion was part of the "German Unity" transport project .
In the south, an additional track was built from 1996 between Hanover Bismarckstrasse and the north head of the Hanover-Wülfel station to the completely redesigned Hanover Messe / Laatzen station.
On the Deisterbahn , a ten-kilometer double-track encounter section was created between Lemmie and Egestorf behind the Weetzen level crossing in order to avoid waiting times at train crossings.
As far as necessary, the stations have been converted to make them accessible. Most of the construction work was completed on time for Expo 2000, so that an extensive network has been available in Hanover since then. Due to time and cost reasons, the renovation of some stations before the expo was no longer started.
The S-Bahn started operating for Expo 2000 on May 28, 2000 with the following lines:
| line | Route from May to November 2000 | Tact |
|---|---|---|
| S 1 | Minden - Bückeburg - Haste - Wunstorf - Hanover - Hanover Fair / Laatzen | 60 ′ |
| S 2 | Nienburg - Neustadt am Rübenberge - Wunstorf - Hanover - Hanover Fair / Laatzen | 60 ′ |
| S 4 | Bennemühlen - Langenhagen Mitte - Hanover - Hanover Fair / Laatzen | 30 ′ |
| S 5 | Hanover Airport - Langenhagen Mitte - Hanover - Hanover Fair / Laatzen | 15 '/ 30' |
Redesign after the expo
After the end of Expo 2000, regular operations began on November 5, 2000 with modified and expanded lines. The network was extended via the Deisterbahn to Barsinghausen - Bad Nenndorf - Haste as well as via Springe to Hameln and via Lehrte to Celle . The station Hannover Messe / Laatzen now not one more to the regular network. Five lines were used in normal traffic, and an additional line on demand ran at major trade fairs on the Hanover exhibition grounds . This connected the airport with the Messe / Laatzen train station. On such occasions, the S4 was also taken from Bennemühlen via Hanover main station to Messe / Laatzen.
The S4 and S5 lines ran between Hanover Hbf and Hameln in a train set, in Hanover the trains were strengthened and weakened . Both lines did not serve all stations between Linden / Fischerhof and Weetzen. The S5 stopped between the airport and H-Nordstadt only in Langenhagen / Mitte.
With the timetable change on December 15, 2002, there were changes for lines S4 and S5:
- The S4 line from Bennemühlen now ended in Hanover Central Station, the link with the S5 was abandoned.
- The S5 line was extended beyond Hameln to Bad Pyrmont and since December 2004 with only one train section to Paderborn . The line now served all stations between the airport and Hanover-Nordstadt and Hanover Bismarckstrasse.
On the section between Bad Pyrmont and Paderborn, the offer is more like a regional train , only the continuous operation to Hanover makes it an S-Bahn.

Extensions since 2008
On December 14, 2008 there was an expansion to include three lines to Hildesheim and Celle, which had previously operated as regional trains and regional express trains . The Hannover Messe / Laatzen station was included in the regular network.
With the timetable change in December 2013, two additional sprinter lines were introduced, which complement the heavily used S1, S2 and S5 lines on two routes Monday through Friday during rush hour . The S21 runs in addition to the S1 and S2 on the Deisterstraße between Hannover Hbf and Barsinghausen. The S51 strengthens the S5 between Hanover Central Station and Hameln and, since March 31, 2014, the S1 and S2 between Hanover Central Station and Seelze.
Infrastructure
Route network
There are only S-Bahn routes between Seelze and Hanover Central Station and between Hanover Central Station and Lehrte. On the Langenhagen – Bennemühlen routes, to Hameln and on the Deisterstraße, there is no long-distance traffic in addition to the S-Bahn traffic, but there is little use by freight traffic. On the routes in the Hanover area, the volume of goods traffic is also low, as goods traffic here predominantly has its own tracks.
Almost all routes are double-tracked. The only exceptions are the single-track sections Egestorf - Haste, Langenhagen-Pferdearkt - Hanover Airport and Bissendorf - Bennemühlen. On the multi-track Hanover - Lehrte line, the S-Bahn to Hanover Karl-Wiechert-Allee and only one track between Ahlten and Lehrte to disposal.
Stations
The central hub is Hanover Central Station , where all S-Bahn lines stop. The S-Bahn network has a total of 74 stations, 49 of which are in the Hanover region. Almost all S-Bahn stations have barrier-free access . An exception is the Emmerthal station, where only entry and exit on platform 1 (direction Bad Pyrmont / Paderborn) can take place at the same level, while the central platform (platforms 2/3, direction Hameln) is only accessible via a staircase-guided underpass. On November 1, 2013, the last stations in the Hanover region (Hanover-Bornum, Empelde and Holtensen / Linderte) were also completed barrier-free. The platforms have a standard height of 76 cm above the top of the rails. This platform height is required for boarding the S-Bahn vehicle at the same level.
The length of the platforms is mostly at least 210 meters, so that three -car trains of the S-Bahn can stop there. The platforms on the Hanover - Hildesheim route over the Rethen branch were built with a length of 170 meters (mixed traffic) and 140 meters (two-car trains) over the Sehnde branch. The platforms on the Lehrte - Celle route (except Burgdorf) are 170 meters long.

Line network
Lines S3, S6 and S7 use tracks 13 and 14 in Hanover Central Station and from there only travel eastwards. The other lines run over the main route Nordstadt - Bismarckstraße and stop at the main station on tracks 1 and 2.
The S8 is an on-demand line that only runs at major events on the exhibition grounds and creates a connection between the airport and the exhibition center without having to change trains.
The S21 runs on the Deisterstrecke between Hanover main station and Barsinghausen. On the way it only stops at the stations Bismarckstraße, Linden / Fischerhof, Empelde, Weetzen and Wennigsen. The trains continue from Hanover main station as S4 to Bennemühlen.
The S51 runs between Seelze and Hameln and only stops en route in Letter, Hanover Hauptbahnhof, Bismarckstraße, Linden / Fischerhof and Springe.
operator
DB Regio Nord has been operating the S-Bahn network since operations began . For the period from December 2012, the network of the participating PTAs was Region Hannover , Landesnahverkehrsgesellschaft Niedersachsen (LNVG) and Zweckverband transport Westphalia-Lippe (NWL) Europe announced . A wholly owned subsidiary of DB Regio prevailed over a competitor, which operated as S-Bahn Hannover GmbH until it was dissolved .
In a new tender in 2018 for the period from 2021, next to the at DB Regio also Abellio Rail and North Western Railway (NWB) involved, given the latter the contract. The currently operating railway company DB Regio appealed to the public procurement tribunal against this decision. However, this was rejected, whereupon DB Regio lodged a complaint with the Higher Regional Court of Celle . On November 6, 2018, the transport authorities involved in the procurement procedure finally awarded the contract to NordWestBahn.
From June 12, 2022, the NordWestBahn will take over the operation of the Hanover S-Bahn for twelve and a half years. 13 class 425 railcars will be taken over from the previous operator, DB Regio , and 64 new Stadler FLIRT vehicles will be used.
Timetable
The S-Bahn runs daily from around 5 a.m. to around 1 a.m., on the Hanover main station - airport route from around 4 a.m. to around 1:30 a.m. The S-Bahn is operated according to a regular schedule that distinguishes between weekday, Saturday, Sunday and public holiday schedules. The trams usually run every 60 minutes. In the case of the S4 and S5, the cycle sequence is shortened to a 30-minute cycle on each section. Due to the overlapping of several S-Bahn lines, there is at least a 30-minute cycle on the main lines in the core area of the network.
The sprinter lines S21 and S51 only run during rush hour.
On the nights from Friday to Saturday as well as before Sundays and public holidays there is night traffic (night star traffic). In December 2017 it was significantly expanded again and now runs on the Nienburg - Hanover (S2) - Celle (S7), Bennemühlen - Hildesheim (S4) and Hanover - Hameln (S5) routes. Until 2017 Neustadt, Burgdorf and Springe were the end points. The departures are about every hour from Hanover main station. Not all stations are served, especially on the return journeys to Hannover Hbf, most of the stops are skipped.
Planning
Line change
A change in lines S4 and S5 was examined. Accordingly, the S4 from Bennemühlen could end in a possible new system in Hameln instead of in Hildesheim so far. The changed line S5 would then run between Hanover Airport and Hildesheim. A new regional train line would run from Paderborn to Hameln like the previous S5 and from there it would run like the previous S51 to Hanover Central Station and from there to Hanover Airport. A new amplifier line would tie through the services of the S21 to Barsinghausen and the S51 to Seelze.
Station repairs
Platform 2 in Barsinghausen is to be expanded according to the S-Bahn standard.
New stations
The Hanover Region's local transport plan (NVP) 2008 suggested improving the network by adding additional stations, which would make it more attractive. He determines the profitability of the following stations:
- New construction of a stop in Waldhausen : A new station above Hildesheimer Straße is to offer local access functions and transfer options to the tram. When the new Döhrener Turm tram station was built in 2004, it was already moved in the direction of the S-Bahn overpass. The preliminary planning has been completed, so negotiations are currently underway with Deutsche Bahn about the realization of this station. Implementation from 2020 seems possible. In order to compensate for the longer travel times on the S1 and S2 lines, a section between Bantorf and Winninghausen has to be expanded to two tracks so that the scheduled train crossing can be carried out closer to Hanover.
- Construction of a new stop at Braunschweiger Platz : In the medium term, a station with the option of changing to trams and buses is to be built here.
The NVP 2008 came to the conclusion that, taking into account operational feasibility, only one station could be built at the time and gave priority to the Waldhausen stop. Furthermore, the NVP came to the conclusion that the construction of the Braunschweiger Platz stop would be “not possible” without additional measures. After the construction of the Waldhausen stop, it is planned to re-examine the possible stop at Braunschweiger Platz for its operational feasibility.
A feasibility study has already been commissioned for the following possible new breakpoints:
- Laatzen-Mitte at the level of Würzburger Strasse in the city of Laatzen . In the meantime, the new construction of such a station is no longer planned on Würzburger Strasse, but at the confluence of Wülferoder Strasse and Hildesheimer Strasse.
- Jump Deisterpforte .
Further stations could arise if individual boundary conditions are met:
- Seelze Lohnde: Between the Seelze and Dedensen / Gümmer stops in Lohnde . A previous route expansion is a prerequisite.
- Wunstorf-Barnestraße: The prerequisite is a previous route expansion.
- Barsinghausen West: It only pays off if there is a densification of settlements in this area, which is currently not foreseeable. According to the 2015 NVP, the planning has already been discontinued.
The city of Hildesheim also supports the establishment of a station in the Himmelsthür district .
In a report commissioned by the Hanover region, Prof. Thomas Siefer came to the conclusion that the implementation of the expansion plans would only be possible with considerable financial expenditure due to the limited capacities of the railway network in the region. The region therefore assumed the existing network when tendering the S-Bahn network in 2010.
The passenger association PRO BAHN has brought up the extension of the S4 to Hildesheim Ost station, but this would require electrification of this section of the route. Instead, this station is now served by the RE10. The district of Celle is aiming to set up a stop in Adelheidsdorf (Großmoor).
vehicles
Specifically for the S-Bahn Hannover 40 were railcars of series 424 purchased. These differ from the vehicles of the 423 series because of the lower floor height of around 80 centimeters, the number of doors and the existing toilets. Although delivery had already started in 1998, the 424s were not yet ready for use when the S-Bahn network started for Expo 2000 due to technical problems. The Deutsche Bahn had to temporarily borrow the later delivered vehicles of the 423 series of the Munich S-Bahn .
There were also six vehicles from the largely identical 425 series (425 150 to 425 155), which were retrofitted with Vario steps. This enables access to lower platforms without having to forego barrier-free access to elevated platforms. On the S5 to Paderborn Hauptbahnhof, these drove coupled with vehicles of the 424 series and from Hameln on to Paderborn alone. After the platforms at all stations in North Rhine-Westphalia have been raised, all vehicles are coming to Paderborn as planned.
In 2008 the demand for vehicles increased due to the expansion to Hildesheim and so a further 13 vehicles of the 425.2 series (425 271 to 425 283) were procured, as no new series of the 424 series was launched.
Since December 2013, nine additional class 425 railcars of the first series have been in use, albeit without bridging gaps and steps in the entrance area. These trains are marked as not barrier-free with a yellow-orange stripe. In 2015, the steps in the door area of these railcars were closed so that they have the normal floor height. They were also retrofitted with ramps for wheelchairs.
In 2015, the folding seats in the multi-purpose area of all S-Bahn railcars will be partially removed to create more space for bicycles.
The NordWestBahn takes when put into 13 multiple units of class 425 from Altbetreiber DB Regio . There are also 64 new FLIRT XL vehicles .
List of names of the railcars
In July 2015, 33 of the 68 multiple units already had names related to the region. Some other vehicles have outdoor advertising.

Tariff
In the area of the Hanover region, the tariff of Greater Hanover (GVH) applies. Since the Hanover S-Bahn network extends beyond its tariff range, there is no uniform network tariff that applies to the entire network.
Gradually, the train stations in the districts bordering the Hanover region were also integrated into the GVH tariff through regional tariffs. In the area of the S-Bahn, the district of Schaumburg , district of Celle , district of Hameln-Pyrmont and, since December 14, 2008, district of Nienburg and district of Hildesheim . There it is possible to use the S-Bahn with certain GVH season tickets .
For routes outside the GVH area, the Lower Saxony tariff has been in effect for single tickets since June 9, 2013 . The regional network tariff “ Westfalentarif ” ( Nahverkehrsverbund Paderborn-Höxter and OWL Verkehr GmbH) applies to the S 5 between Lügde and Paderborn . For traffic between Hannover Hbf and Paderborn Hbf, the "S5-Paderborn-Spezial" has been available since August 2016 for 16 euros per journey, but it can only be purchased explicitly under this name on the Internet or at a machine (at the counter with a surcharge of 2 euros) can.
