The Fröttmaning underground station (abbreviation of the Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft : FT ) is an above-ground underground station in the Freimann district of the Bavarian capital, Munich . It is located on the main line 1 of the Munich subway and is served by the U6 line. It also serves as a connection for public transport to the Allianz Arena .
history
In order to create a possibility to change from private transport to local public transport outside the city, the U6, which previously ended at Kieferngarten underground station, was extended by one station to the north and a park-and-ride car park was built there at the same time , especially the The already decided route to Garching-Hochbrück should run here anyway. On June 30, 1994, the station was initially double-tracked and opened about 50 meters south of its current location. Until the extension of the route to Hochbrück opened on October 28, 1995, Fröttmaning was the northern end of the U6. The commissioning of the Allianz Arena made it necessary, especially with a view to the 2006 World Cup , to demolish the old station and build a completely new station with the current one. This happened from 2002 to 2005. Only the southern of the two bridges over the technical base track system, which ended in the middle of the platform at the old station, was retained. Both stations were planned by the architects Peter Bohn and Julia Mang-Bohn.
Location and surroundings

The station is primarily known for the fact that it connects the Allianz Arena, which is located north of the station, to local public transport. The stadium is about a 10-15 minute walk from the underground station. On the other side of the tracks of the Technical Base Fröttmaning , which is right next to the train station, is the Park-and-Ride car park, which was built at the same time as the station. In the west, the Fröttmaninger Heide and the residential area Haidpark , which was developed at this point due to its proximity to the underground station, border. The Holy Cross Church , the only relic of the no longer existing village of Fröttmaning , which gave the station its name, is located about 1.5 kilometers to the northeast.
The next stop in the direction of the city center is the Kieferngarten underground station, 830 meters away . The tracks to the technical base branch off between these two stations. To the north, the subways cross under the federal autobahn 99 and leave the district of Munich before reaching the Garching-Hochbrück subway station in the neighboring town of Garching near Munich, 4208 meters away . No other neighboring train stations in the Munich subway network are so far apart. Marienplatz train station, centrally located in Munich, is around nine kilometers and a 17-minute drive away.
Station complex
construction
In order to be able to handle the numerous visitors to the football matches in the Allianz Arena, the station has four tracks with two central platforms. During normal operation, the two outer tracks are used for passage and the middle tracks are used for turning. Both platforms are connected at their southern ends via escalators and fixed stairs as well as an elevator each with a bridge that leads from Fröttmaninger Heide over the tracks of the technical base to the park-and-ride car park on Hans-Jensen-Weg. A second bridge in the north, which can be reached via fixed stairs, leads into the esplanade in front of the football stadium.
layout
The station is completely covered by a translucent membrane that sits on a tree-like structure. The platforms are covered with granite slabs and separated by a fence between the tracks. On the west side, a concrete wall separates the train station from the Fröttmaninger Heide, which is painted with a work of art by Peter Kogler .
traffic
The U6 runs from the station every ten minutes, and Munich city center can be reached in around 15 minutes. In the rush hour there are additional trains between Fröttmaning and the Großhadern Clinic, so that there is a 5-minute cycle to the city center. It is not possible to change to other public transport of the MVV. There is a bus terminal under the park-and-ride car park with long-distance bus routes.
