Türkheim (Bay) Bahnhof is the larger of the two former stations of the Bavarian municipality of Türkheim , located on the Buchloe – Memmingen main line, and forms a separate district with the surrounding buildings. As the only remaining train station in the local area, it is regularly served by regional traffic.
location
Türkheim train station is located southwest of the town of Türkheim, about two kilometers from the town center. Directly north of the train station is the district of Türkheim-Bahnhof, to the south the industrial site of the former Schneider Technologies AG borders the railway facilities. The station building is north of the tracks on Alfred-Drexel-Straße. In the east of the station, the tracks from the 2015 state road will be crossed by an underpass. The road to Wiedergeltingen crosses the track of the Staudenbahn to Ettringen at the same level over a level crossing .
The crossing station is on the Buchloe – Memmingen line ( VzG 5360), a single-track, non-electrified main line on which regional and long-distance trains run. The five-kilometer-long, single-track branch line to Bad Wörishofen (VzG 5361), which is only used in regional traffic, begins in Türkheim . The station is also the end of the Staudenbahn (VzG 5340), which was a single-track branch line that used to run to Gessertshausen . In the meantime, only the section to Ettringen is still in operation for freight traffic to operate the siding of a paper mill , the section from Ettringen to Markt Wald has been closed.
Türkheim train station is on the following route book routes :
- KBS 971 : Augsburg – Buchloe – Türkheim – Memmingen – Kißlegg – Lindau
- KBS 987 : Augsburg – Buchloe – Türkheim – Bad Wörishofen
history
After the city of Memmingen in particular had tried to establish a rail connection in the direction of the capital Munich since 1861, the Buchloe – Memmingen line was opened on May 1, 1874 . In the course of the construction of this single-track connection, Türkheim, which is a little north of the route, received its first train station, relatively far from the town center. Around 1879 there were two platform tracks, as well as a goods hall and loading ramp for freight traffic on a siding that could be used from the direction of Buchloe.
The first major expansion of the state railway's facilities came with the construction of the initially privately operated branch line to Bad Wörishofen , which experienced an enormous boom in the period after 1880 as a result of the water treatments developed by Sebastian Kneipp . After some technical difficulties - for example, the entry signal to secure the crossed main line was initially forgotten - the branch line was opened to public transport on August 15, 1896. Since the railway line - as one of the very first railways - was operated electrically until the beginning of the Second World War, in addition to the construction of a new platform track with a bypass, part of the facilities was also spanned with contact wire.
At around the same time, the northern municipalities of Central Swabia and the Perennials also tried to build local railways. After years of various discussions and competing proposals, an agreement was reached in November 1903 on the projects that were finally implemented: the Mittelschwabenbahn from Mindelheim to Kirchheim (with a later connection from Pfaffenhausen to the Augsburg-Ulm line in Günzburg) and the Staudenbahn from Türkheim to Ettringen (also with later connection to the Augsburg – Ulm railway in Gessertshausen). With the opening of the second connection on October 29, 1908, the Türkheim station finally reached its full expansion stage.
Türkheim (Bay) Markt train station
Since the Staudenbahn runs in the immediate vicinity of the town of Türkheim, a second train station was built there. This was called the Türkheim (Bay) market , while the older station on the main line was henceforth run as the Türkheim (Bay) station for better differentiation . However, with the interruption of the Staudenbahn near Schnerzhofen and the cessation of passenger traffic on the remainder of the route to Ettringen on January 12, 1987, the second station was closed.
The station building was demolished in 1992, but traces of the tracks and the platform remain. As a result of the loading of railway wagons onto road scooters for transport to the Salamander Industrie-Produkte plant , which was still practiced there until the mid-1990s , the station gained some fame even after it was closed.
Industrial tracks
Industry has also settled at the main line station. The most important company located there until its bankruptcy was Schneider Technologies AG , whose plant is now used as an industrial park by Finsterwalder Transport & Logistik , among others . This site, which is located immediately south of the railway facilities, had a private siding until spring 2012. The corresponding track runs east of the Wörishofer railway line and ends shortly before the level crossing on Mindelheimer Straße. There is a headache and the various butt tracks on the factory premises were accessible via a switch and a subsequent track harp. In spring 2012, however, the tracks on the industrial park were dismantled and the entrance closed.
future
In the course of the construction work on the “ Extension Line 48 Munich – Memmingen – Lindau ”, the Türkheim station was fundamentally rebuilt. The main platform with platform 1, as well as the central platform for platform 3 and platform 4, were raised to 55 centimeters above the top of the rails, brought up to the current standard and connected with barrier-free access by means of an underpass. Track 2 is purely a through track, and the western track area has also been redesigned for more effective use. In July 2018, as part of a complete closure of the railway line, the complete demolition and reconstruction of the previous platforms including a new underpass, which was completed in October 2018. In the course of this, there was also an operational reorganization. Trains in the direction of Memmingen now run from platform 1 instead of 2, towards Buchloe from platform 3.Trains to and from Bad Wörishofen that start or end in Türkheim now run from platform 4 instead of platform 1a, which has been abandoned.
