Buchloe–Memmingen Railway
The Buchloe–Memmingen railway is an approximately 45 kilometre long single-track, electrified mainline in the German state of Bavaria. It connects Buchloe and Memmingen and is part of the railway axis from Augsburg to Lindau. History The line from Buchloe to Memmingen was opened on 1 May 1874 as a part of the Munich–Memmingen railway in the kingdom of Bavaria. In November 2017, the Stetten and Sontheim stations and the Ungerhausen yard were connected to the Memmingen computer-based interlocking. The stations at Türkheim, Stetten and Sontheim were rebuilt barrier-free with work finishing in autumn 2018. In the first half of 2018, the historic, almost 145-year-old masonry arch bridge over the Auerbach and state road 2013 near Stetten was demolished and replaced with a reinforced concrete bridge. As part of the upgrade of the Munich–Lindau line, the section was electrified with work completed at the end of 2020. This shortened the travel time from Memmingen to Munich by ...

Bavaria
Bavaria ( ; ), officially the Free State of Bavaria (german: Freistaat Bayern, link=no ), is a state in the south-east of Germany. With an area of , Bavaria is the largest German state by land area, comprising roughly a fifth of the total land area of Germany. With over 13 million inhabitants, it is second in population only to North Rhine-Westphalia, but due to its large size its population density is below the German average. Bavaria's main cities are Munich (its capital and largest city and also the third largest city in Germany), Nuremberg, and Augsburg. The history of Bavaria includes its earliest settlement by Iron Age Celtic tribes, followed by the conquests of the Roman Empire in the 1st century BC, when the territory was incorporated into the provinces of Raetia and Noricum. It became the Duchy of Bavaria (a stem duchy) in the 6th century AD following the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. It was later incorporated into the Holy Roman Empire, became an ind ...

Günzburg–Mindelheim Railway
The Günzburg–Mindelheim railway (also known in German as the ''Mittelschwabenbahn''—Central Swabian Railway) is a single-tracked branch line in Bavaria which is approximately 55 kilometres long. The railway connects Günzburg and Mindelheim via Krumbach and so the Ulm–Augsburg railway ( Munich- Augsburg- Ulm-Stuttgart) and the railway from Munich to Zurich via Buchloe, Memmingen and Lindau. History The Günzburg–Krumbach section was opened in 1892 and it was followed by the Mindelheim–Pfaffhausen section as part of the Mindelheim–Kirchheim railway in 1909. The gap from Krumbach to Pfaffhausen was closed in 1910. The section to Kirchheim has since been closed. The line between Gunzburg and Mindelheim has been threatened with closure several times, but it has always been averted. Between 1963 and 1998, a major reason for the preservation of the railway was that the southern section between Breitenbrunn and Mindelheim was used for the transport of oil by r ...

Leutkirch–Memmingen Railway
The Leutkirch–Memmingen railway is a 31.540 km long, single-track railway in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, which connects Leutkirch and Memmingen. It has been electrified as part of the Munich–Lindau line since 2020. History Two years after the completion of the construction of the Neu-Ulm–Kempten railway in 1863, the citizens of Wangen campaigned for a cross-border line connecting the Buchloe–Lindau railway with the new line in Memmingen. Since this proposal lacked political support, the plans came to nothing and meanwhile the Herbertingen–Isny railway was opened through the Württemberg Allgäu in various stages until 1880. Nevertheless, there continued to be support for a connection to Bavarian Swabia and Upper Bavaria. In 1876 and 1886 there were further proposals from Memmingen for building a direct connection to Lindau through Württemberg. The second proposal resulted in negotiations between the two countries, although this was initially unsuc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Neu-Ulm–Kempten Railway
The Neu-Ulm–Kempten railway is a mostly single track and non-electrified main line from Neu-Ulm via Memmingen to Kempten in the German state of Bavaria. It follows the Iller river for its entire length and is therefore also called the Iller Valley Railway (german: Illertalbahn). The line from Neu-Ulm to Kellmünz is integrated in the Donau-Iller-Nahverkehrsverbund (Danube-Iller Local Transport Association, DING). It is listed in the timetable under the number of 975; between New Ulm and Memmingen it is also served by services running on route 756. History Kempten citizens proposed a railway line to Ulm via Memmingen in 1843, as the construction of dams and water mills during the period of industrialisation had ended raft traffic on the river Iller and road transport was not viable. The Bavarian government, however, was not interested in further construction in this area. Because Memmingen was not then included in plans for the first railways in the country, the city took the i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
