Entrance building of the Schmiechen train station

The single-track Ammerseebahn runs east of Schmiechen from Mering via Geltendorf to Weilheim . It is managed by Deutsche Bahn as the route book route 985. On the Ammerseebahn, in the middle between Schmiechen and the neighboring municipality of Steindorf, there is the Schmiechen (Schwab) train station , which is only a stop today. It is located about 800 meters from the center of Schmiechen in the east of a residential area that was created after the railway was built.

The Ammerseebahn was opened on June 30, 1898 by the Royal Bavarian State Railways . The Schmiechen train station was built on it. The station was given a two-storey reception building in the style of the homeland with an interlocking front and an attached goods shed , which was rebuilt in the 1930s. The track systems of the station consisted of the continuous main track on the house platform and a loading track . The population of Schmiechen increased due to the construction of the railway. A new residential area was built to the east of the station. The Ammerseebahn between Mering and Geltendorf was electrified by September 7, 1970. In April 1986 the loading platform and signal systems were demolished and the station building sold. The station became an unoccupied stop.

Today the Schmiechen station consists only of the continuous main track on the house platform . The reception building is privately owned and has been preserved to this day. Since September 29, 1995, Schmiechen station on the Ammerseebahn has been the southernmost station in the Augsburg Transport Association (AVV). The station is served every hour by the trains of the Bayerische Regiobahn (BRB) from Augsburg-Oberhausen to Schongau . In the rush hour , individual amplifier trains run between Augsburg and Geltendorf. Today, all trains that run on the route serve the stop. Long-distance trains have not been running on the Ammerseebahn since 1991 .
