Saarbrücken Hauptbahnhof (also € Saarbrücken station called) with a total of 17 tracks (including 14 platform tracks) is the largest passenger station of the Saarland and its capital Saarbruecken . Every year around 10 million people use the station. The DB Station & Service leads the Saarbrücken Central Station as the station's second highest railway station category .
history
Preliminary planning
After the first railway line in Germany between Nuremberg and Fürth was opened on December 7, 1835 , it was founded shortly afterwards on January 26, 1836 in the premises of the Casino-Gesellschaft (at that time located on today's Wilhelm-Heinrich-Straße ) in Saarbrücken the "company for the construction of a railway from Saarbrücken to Mannheim" . The society, chaired by the mining authority director Leopold Sello, included leading representatives from trade and industry such as Carl Friedrich Stumm , Philipp Heinrich Kraemer , Heinrich Böcking , Georg Schmidtborn , Georg Philipp Korn and Philipp Heinrich Karcher . Sello, who considered the sales issue to be the main problem of the Saarland mining industry, pursued the matter of building a railway with great intensity. Shortly after the founding of the company, Sello contacted the Prussian mining captain, Count Ernst August von Beust , so that he could get involved with the Upper President of the Rhine Province in this matter.
The Saarbrücker Committee had estimated the construction costs at two million thalers. In order to raise this amount, they wanted to issue 10,000 shares of 200 thalers each, which were supposed to yield 5 percent interest. In a short time the capital was subscribed. Nevertheless, the royal Prussian government refused the concession because insufficient information about the route and profitability had been submitted. The royal Bavarian government, through whose territory the route should have passed, acted in a similarly wait-and-see manner, but approved the content of the plans on the condition that only Bavarian companies should be taken into account in the implementation. Two years passed with no results, and the capital subscribers could not dispose of their money otherwise. Mining Authority Director Sello then angrily withdrew from the project.
At the end of 1837, surprisingly, the Bavarian King Ludwig I finally approved the construction of a railway line from Mannheim's Rheinschanze (today: Ludwigshafen am Rhein ) to Bexbach on the border between the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Kingdom of Prussia . Ludwig's condition, however, was that the company had to have its seat in the Bavarian Palatinate and only shareholders who had their seat in Bavaria ( Palatinate Ludwig Railway Company ) could be accepted. This meant that the Saarbrücken Committee was initially eliminated. Immediately the focus was now on the project of a railway construction from the Bavarian border to Saarbrücken, which had the advantage that the costs were significantly reduced. The company seemed to be nearing completion when the Prussian government's transport officer, Christian Rother , who was fundamentally skeptical of the construction of the railway, refused to approve the project to continue building the Bavarian railway on the short section from Bexbach to Saarbrücken. Presumably, military aspects also played a role in this decision, since the railway line could also have served an attacker on the Prussian southern flank on the Saar.
Sello's brother-in-law, the glassworks owner Karl Vopelius , meanwhile wanted to run a railway line through the Fischbach valley on the right bank of the Saar to Saargemünd in Alsace , France , but was also unsuccessful. In the Bavarian Palatinate, too, the start of construction of the railway line was delayed until April 1845. On August 28, 1849, the entire Bavarian route from the Rhine to Bexbach was finally completed.
When rumors arose that the French government under President Charles Louis Napoléon Bonaparte could seek a direct connection of its railway lines to the Palatinate Railway, the Prussian government in Berlin became active again. Since the construction of the Prussian Eastern Railway from Berlin to Königsberg had been temporarily suspended in the meantime , funds were available for the Saarbrücken project. When the Saar mining industry had great sales difficulties in 1848 and laid off 1,500 miners, they could be put to good use in the railway construction work. For reasons of traffic engineering and military strategy, the station was not built in Saarbrücken, as France could have taken a station there in the event of an attack coming directly from the ridges above the Saar . We chose an elevated location on the border between spell Malstatt and St. Johann on the opposite bank of the Saar and designed the station in fortress-like shapes. The tenders were published in July 1851.
First station building ("island building")
Saarbrücken main station was opened on November 16, 1852 as St. Johann-Saarbrücken station on the border between Malstatt and St. Johann ad Saar. Today's city of Saarbrücken came into being in 1909 through the merger of (old) Saarbrücken , St. Johann and Malstatt-Burbach.
The station was located on the so-called St. Johann railway that of Bexbach about Neunkirchen Coming on to Stieringen led to the French Eastern Railway. The 56-meter-long and 13.50-meter-wide sandstone building was a so-called "island structure" between the two tracks; access was via an underpass without a track crossing, which was new for the time. The original three-storey island building was erected on a high embankment in fortress-like designs in the arched style with four crenellated corner towers and a raised central pavilion, which was flanked on the entrance side by two four-storey towers.
Extension of the reception building
As the railway facilities continued to grow, the station building was expanded with additions in 1866 and 1879. As early as 1872, the high embankment had a one-storey, broadly laid out station building , which was replaced in the years 1891/1893 by a front entrance building with two striking neo-renaissance towers in front of the tunnel access. But as early as 1908 there were plans to build a completely new station building. Construction was to begin in 1914, but the outbreak of World War I prevented these plans. In 1932, Saarbrücken Central Station was the station with the second largest volume of trains in the Reichsbahn area , after Leipzig , with 453 incoming and outgoing trains a day, including 51 express trains . After the reorganization of the Saarland in 1935, the focus was again on building a new train station, which should be completed in 1941. But this time too, the outbreak of war in 1939 prevented the plans.
Reconstruction after the Second World War
After the Second World War , 80 percent of the railway systems in Saarbrücken were destroyed. Only the two towers remained of the entrance building from 1891/1893. The other buildings, such as the depot, were also badly damaged. The west wing of the island building with the adjacent waiting room and the central pavilion were also badly damaged. There was no longer a single continuous track in the entire station area. Under US management, today's track 19 was initially restored provisionally. The US troops then drove their supply trains in the direction of Neunkirchen – Bexbach – Homburg over this track on their own and within sight.
The two towers of the front building were connected by a low building in 1952 and were then a temporary solution for many years. The elevation of the central pavilion of the island building was removed and a roof was drawn over the entire length of the building at the same height.
Demolition of the old and new buildings
In the 1960s there were again plans for a new reception and administration building. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on June 27, 1963 by the then Mayor of Saarbrücken, Fritz Schuster, and the President of the Federal Railway Directorate , Alois Meyer . In the same year, the remains of the old front building from 1891/1893 were removed. In September 1967 the new 120 meter long and 26 meter high building was inaugurated. While the counter hall , baggage handling , shops and a train station restaurant were located on the two-story basement , the IT station, the medical service, offices and the railway canteen were housed on the upper floors of the seven-story building .
In February 1960, electric operation began on the Forbach - Homburg line at Saarbrücken station.
Fundamental modernization work began in 1977. Among other things, the platforms were brought to a height of 76 cm. In order to create space for more continuous tracks, the first station building from 1852, the so-called island building , had to be demolished. The demolition began on September 18, 1978 and ended in March 1979.
Saarbrücken 21
The "Eurobahnhof" (name for the Saarbrücken 21 project ) is a modernization project for the main train station in Saarbrücken . The existing train station and the surrounding area were rebuilt. An important reason for the work was the commissioning of the Paris – Eastern France – Southern Germany (POS) high-speed line in June 2007 with branches to Stuttgart and Frankfurt am Main , the latter of which runs via Saarbrücken.
As measures, a new south facade of the station building, a newly designed entrance hall and pedestrian underpass, new elevators and a new entrance for the station from the northern side (district Rodenhof ) were realized. The cost of about 31 million euros, the shared state capital Saarbruecken, Saarland and the German Bahn AG .
The extensive track systems in the north of the station were largely dismantled, and in the eastern area of the station they were rearranged and modernized. In this way, new train handling and parking systems were created in a compact area. The area freed up as a result will be marketed as a new district under the name Quartier Eurobahnhof and used for new businesses. A multi-storey car park has also been built there to alleviate the problem of parking at the train station.
The groundbreaking ceremony took place on May 5, 2006. The official inauguration of the modernized station took place on December 15, 2007.
The Bahnhof 21 project was intended (as of 1998) to make 20 hectares of railway operating areas no longer required available for urban development.
Reception hall / access to the city center
The Saarbrücken main station, which has been converted into a Eurobahnhof, opens up to the city center with a large reception hall in the direction of the pedestrian zone (Reichsstraße / Bahnhofstraße). In the reception hall there are various restaurants and shops (including a drugstore , magazines and stationery, tobacco products, floristry and more), the DB ServicePoint, the DB / Ameropa travel center and ticket machines .
In front of the entrance / exit towards the city center is the extensive station forecourt , which offers a large number of bicycles . There have also been lockable boxes for bicycles since summer 2008 that can be rented.
At the train station and the bus stop is the main station of Saarbahn which is expanded to four tracks and every day from about 285 light rail trains coming from Sarreguemines ( France ) / Kleinblittersdorf or coming from Lebach / Heusweiler / Riegelsberg / Rastpfuhl and about 735 city and regional buses will be approached. Recently, the railway has also offered the option of renting bicycles directly on the station forecourt (using the “Call-a-bike” program). There are currently 10 bicycles available there.
Passenger tunnel / plain
All tracks of the new Saarbrücken main station - apart from the tram tracks on the station forecourt - can be reached via the completely renovated passenger tunnel (or alternatively the east tunnel). The main tunnel is kept in simple white and blue tones and extends over a length of about 100 meters with a slight incline from the City entrance / exit to the new north exit in the Rodenhof district.
All platforms are barrier-free and - with the exception of tracks 1–3 - can be accessed via three types of access (lift, escalator or moving walkway, stairs). Tracks 1–3 only have two types of access (2 flights of stairs and a lift).
North terminal / north exit Rodenhof
Together with the renovation and reconstruction work as part of the Saarbrücken 21 (Eurobahnhof) project , the passenger tunnel, which previously ended with access to track 16 (until about 2001 on track 22), was extended to the Rodenhof district. A new stairway was built there, the so-called North Terminal , to which a new Park & Ride area is connected, which offers several hundred parking spaces. Via a newly constructed bridge , the area is directly to the Ludwigsberg roundabout and to the motorways A 1 , A 620 and A 623 connected.
The generous service point (tickets and meals) set up there by DB AG is currently closed due to ongoing construction work and a lack of customers, but should be reopened if necessary.
Platforms
All platforms and tracks - apart from the light rail tracks in front of the city entrance / exit - are located above the pedestrian tunnel that connects the two entrances and exits.
The tracks are numbered 1 to 16b, although there are only ten tracks used for passenger traffic. These are numbered 1 to 3, 5 to 6, 8, 11 to 12, 14, 16a and 16b. The tracks in between are only used for operational purposes or no longer exist.
Six of the ten tracks used for passenger traffic are through tracks and can also be used by trains that do not turn in Saarbrücken. The four head tracks 2, 6, 8 and 11 serve as turning tracks for trains ending in Saarbrücken. The platform on tracks 17 and 19 has now been closed and is only used for internal purposes. The two tracks were dismantled from through to butt tracks. The former platform with tracks 20 and 21, where the new north exit is located, has been completely demolished.
Sidings
In June 2018, the Federal Network Agency declared a system-related usage fee for sidings in Saarbrücken central station to be invalid. While comparable systems only charge 1.70 euros per hour, DB Netz levied an additional charge of 20.60 euros per hour, which distorts competition.
Transport links
Long-distance transport
Since December 2007, Saarbrücken Hauptbahnhof has been a fully-fledged station in the European high-speed network and entry and exit gate for the ICE trains that run across borders between Paris and Frankfurt am Main .
In addition, individual domestic long-distance passenger trains run on the routes to Berlin Gesundbrunnen and Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof and beyond to Graz Hauptbahnhof . The trains usually start (early) in the morning in Saarbrücken, and their return services arrive in Saarbrücken in the (late) evening.
Long-distance trains heading east use platform 5, long-distance trains heading west use platform 14, and ending trains also use platform 12.

Overlaying creates a 7.5-minute cycle in both directions on the main inner-city route between Brebach and Siedlerheim, every quarter of an hour towards Kleinblittersdorf and Heusweiler and every half hour towards Saargemünd and Lebach .
In addition, track 6 is used for the replacement line S9 if the inner-city route cannot be used. The S9 then runs every half hour, as higher timing is not possible due to the single-track section of the Brebach Bahnhof – Saarbrücken Ost section of the Saarbrücken – Sarreguemines line .
The special lines S2 (exhibition line) and S3 (warning line) , which have since been abandoned, also operated here .
