The station is part of the network area of the Rhein-Neckar transport association (VRN) and is an important station in Kraichgau . In the area of the city of Sinsheim there are also the train stations Hoffenheim , Sinsheim Museum / Arena , Steinsfurt and the stop series .
history
Until 2008
The station was opened in 1868 at the same time as the Meckesheim - Rappenau section of the Neckargemünd – Bad Friedrichshall line of the Grand Ducal Baden State Railways , for whose opening ceremony Sinsheim served as the center.
Around 1900 the station facilities were expanded as part of the construction of the Steinsfurt – Eppingen railway line . This also resulted in the underpass of the Dührener Straße crossing at the western head of the station . As a result, there were 20 switches and eight crossings or crossings in the station.
From April 1914 a Kittel steam powered rail car was stationed in Sinsheim .
In 1947, the two-tier locomotive shed at the Meckesheim station was moved to the area southeast of the platforms. The side wing was lengthened and the gate on the back was closed.
At the western end of the platform, a pedestrian walkway was built over the entire station system from parts of the walkway from the old Heidelberg terminus. This overpass, about three meters wide and 45 meters long, had a metal frame and wooden boards for the floor.
The then new Köf II 6767 (later 323 837-5) was stationed in Sinsheim in June 1960 to operate the local sidings.
Goods handling in the station was terminated on January 1, 1976.
The dismantling of the railway systems began in the 1980s. In 1987 the city of Sinsheim bought the locomotive shed and the turntable area from the Federal Railroad and made them available to the Eisenbahnfreunde Kraichgau eV, founded on November 20, 1980 , who built their clubhouse there. The connecting switch 21 leading to the turntable was exchanged from a double crossing switch to a single switch that was previously located in Heidelberg Rbf.
In 1995, the 10.167 km “Schwarzwaldstraße” crossing to the east of the platforms was replaced by an underpass from which the central platform can also be reached via stairs. The station keeper's house at the northwest corner of the level crossing was demolished.
In 2004, the dispatcher's workplace was relocated from the Bruchsal J type signal box Sf in the reception building to signal box 1 responsible for the western head of the station. The goods shed west of the reception building was demolished in 2005.
In August 2007, points 7, 8 and 10 in the western apron were replaced by longer ones and the track connection from track 1 to the western part of what was then track 9 (now track 4) was removed. The exit signals were moved from just before the switches (km 9.746 or 9.809 (track 3)) to the vicinity of the eastern end of track 9 (after km 9.892).
S-Bahn time

From March 2008 to the end of 2009, the Sinsheim station was modernized as part of the reconstruction of the route for the Rhine-Neckar S-Bahn.
On October 24, 2008, the two mechanical interlockings were taken out of service. Since November 1st, 2008, the three Sinsheim train stations have been provided by dispatcher Meckesheim 1 (up to and including Sinsheim Hbf) and Meckesheim 2 in the operating center in Karlsruhe via the remote control computer Sinsheim of the Elsenztal electronic interlocking . The Sinsheim Hbf station has the area code 86.
When the platforms were rebuilt, the old pedestrian walkway was replaced by a bridge with glass walls, which serves as platform access for the central platform and thus also replaces the passenger crossing, and is accessible at all three exits via elevators and at both ends via ramps. The new bridge cost around 4.5 million euros.
In order to create space for the stairs and the elevator, a waiting area west of the break room of the bus station and a kiosk to the west of it were demolished at the northern end. For the ramp with an incline of 10%, which reaches platform 1 in the area of the wall of the bus station, the central bus timetable was removed west of the public toilet at the southwest exit of the bus station.
At the southern end, Jahnstrasse was swung so close to the tracks that the old overpass was directly adjacent to the carriageway during construction. The overpass is not level, which means that the clear height of the carriageway is only 4.50 m. The entrances to the overpass are now on the south side of the street between the lane and the sidewalk. The ramp crosses a ten-meter-wide driveway two meters west of the end of the stairs, in the area of which it is only 5% steep, which means that a clearance height of 2.70 m is maintained.
For the overpass and the staircase leading from it to the central platform, the platform roof there was shortened by twenty meters, so that it now begins at km 10.024 instead of around km 10.004. In order to achieve the required width, the island platform was widened by about one and a half meters on the western 140 meters. For this purpose, track 3 was swiveled, as was track 6 next to it, which was to be renamed to track 5 (east of switch 21) and 15 (west of switch 21). For this purpose, the connection point to the Kraichgau Railway Friends should have been reinstalled about ten meters further from the old track position. However, due to a misunderstanding by the construction company, the switch was dismantled. Since a new switch would have been associated with high costs and the association had already decided in 2007 to give up its own operation, the Kraichgau Railway Friends gave up the siding.
In 2009 the city of Sinsheim began to renovate the area around the reception building . The parking lot in the area of the former freight depot was asphalted or paved and an official Parking and Travel - parking . The already existing pedestrian zone in the city center was extended by 70 m towards the train station.
On June 13, 2011, real train destination displays (instead of dynamic text displays ) went into operation in Sinsheim .
By 2011, the station building was renovated by the Eppinger Brewery Palmbräu and a winter garden extension was added on the platform side. The restaurant opened on July 27, 2011. On December 13, 2015, the reception building received a clock that was visible from the city center as a replacement for the clock that was removed during the sale.
A renovation of the bus station has been planned for around a decade.
Reception building
The station building was built from 1867 to 1868 with the construction of the line. It was designed in the Weinbrenner style by a student of the architect Friedrich Weinbrenner . The building with the ground floor, upper floor and attic is entered in the list of cultural monuments in Baden-Württemberg. It is at number Friedrichstrasse 25.
The reception building with the largely symmetrical floor plan is centered on the axis of Bahnhofstrasse at its southern end. The platform side forms the south side of the structure. The bus station is to the east of the reception building .
Since the renovation in 2011 are located in the reception building in the eastern half of a kiosk, a bakery (later Donerimbiss), the passage in the middle of a Travel Center of DB Vertrieb and in the western part and upstairs a restaurant.
Railway systems
The station has 3 main tracks . Track 1 is on the house platform , tracks 2 and 3 on a central platform , which until the renovation was accessible by means of a passenger crossing in the middle of the reception building, which was secured with an electrically powered, manually operated sliding barrier. Next to track 3 is the side track 5 in the direction of Heilbronn, which is designed as a stub track , and in the north-western area of Sinsheim station there is another siding at the P + R car park , which is also a stub track. To the south of the track system there is a turntable with an engine shed made of timber framework.
traffic
In Sinsheim the regional express line 2 runs from Mannheim to Heilbronn, the line S 5 of the S-Bahn RheinNeckar from Heidelberg to Eppingen and the line S 42 of the Heilbronn Stadtbahn that ends here .
The main station is connected to the bus lines of the Sinsheim city bus and the lines to the Brunnen region via the bus station in front of it . There are also shuttle buses to the football stadium Rhein-Neckar-Arena for home games of the TSG 1899 Hoffenheim soccer club .
