Stuttgart-Rohr Station
Rohr station is located the chainage of 16.7 km (from Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof via the old route) on the Gäu Railway (german: Gäubahn) and is a station in the network of the Stuttgart S-Bahn. History When the Royal Württemberg State Railways opened the Gäu Railway from Stuttgart to Freudenstadt in September 1879, many residents of Rohr saw only the drawbacks of the new system of transport. Some farmers had been dispossessed for the line and believed the railway would bring only noise and odours. But when industrialisation began in the neighbouring village of Vaihingen and commuters from Rohr took advantage of its station, people learned of rail's advantages. In 1906, Rohr station opened for passenger services. The station building was a one-story brick building with a waiting-room and station services on the former platform 1, which served the line towards Böblingen. The line to Echterdingen has branched off 600 metres south of the station since October 1920. In 1935 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Stuttgart Flughafen/Messe Station
Stuttgart Flughafen/Messe (German for Stuttgart Airport/Trade Fair) station is a station on the network of the Stuttgart S-Bahn. Despite its name the station is not in the city of Stuttgart, rather it is in Leinfelden-Echterdingen. History The draft plans for the construction of an S-Bahn system in the Stuttgart area in the 1960s included consideration of a connection to the Filder plain. The line from Stuttgart-Rohr to Neuhausen auf den Fildern, on which passenger services had been closed in 1955 would be upgraded to enable S-Bahn operations to Stuttgart airport. However, the provision of better public transport links to the airport at that time was not considered a priority and had no urgency. The doubling and electrification of the Stuttgart-Rohr–Echterdingen line only began in 1984. The connection to the airport from Echterdingen used a completely new route. The lack of space at the airport meant that only an underground station was considered. In 1986, work began on conn ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Waiblingen Station

Herrenberg Station
Herrenberg station is located on the Gäu Railway (german: Gäubahn) and is at the start of the Ammer Valley Railway (''Ammertalbahn''). Because it is a stop for Regional-Express services and it is a terminus for both Stuttgart S-Bahn line S 1 and Regionalbahn services from Tübingen and Bondorf, it is an important transport node. It is located about 200 metres west of the old centre of Herrenberg in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. History In the mid 19th century the citizens of Oberamt Herrenberg (one of the former districts of Baden-Württemberg, that were replaced in 1934 by Landkreise) were mostly engaged in agriculture. The most profitable seems to have been the cultivation of sugar beet and hops. In the 1860s, Herrenberg sought a connection to the rail network so that and the district could have access to night soil from the latrines of Stuttgart as cheap fertilizer in order to grow produce for supply to the Böblingen sugar beet factory and the breweries.

Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt Station
Bad Cannstatt station is the second largest station of the German city of Stuttgart after Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof and has eight platform tracks. Together with Untertürkheim station, it is the oldest station in Württemberg. History During the planning of the original railway in Württemberg, the Württemberg Central Railway (german: Württembergische Centralbahn), it was proposed to provide a station for the city of Cannstatt with its 5,500 inhabitants. The original proposal for the line consisted of a connection between the proposed Stuttgart Central Station to Cannstatt, where it would branch towards Esslingen and Ludwigsburg. Because of Stuttgart's geographical location, the route via Cannstatt was the only feasible route for a railway with the technology of the time. On 5 October 1845, the first railway in Württemberg was opened from Cannstatt to Untertürkheim. Following the completion of the Rosenstein Tunnel on 4 July 1846, the first train ran into Stuttgart station on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stuttgart Neckarpark Station
Stuttgart Neckarpark station is in the German city of Stuttgart and is located at the chainage of 5.6 kilometres (measured from Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof) on the Fils Valley Railway and is a station on the network of the Stuttgart S-Bahn. History The Cannstatter Wasen ("Cannstatt grass") has been a fairground and exhibition area since the 19th century. In 1928 the city of Stuttgart exchanged land on the Wasen owned by the State of Wurttemberg with land in the district of Burgholzhof in northwestern Bad Cannstatt. It intended to create a major new stadium on the site, which served as a training ground among other things. The link to the new sports facility proved to be a problem, because neither Cannstatt station nor Untertürkheim station were close enough for visitors. Karl Schaechterle of the Railway Administration of Stuttgart (german: Reichsbahndirektion Stuttgart) planned a new station for special trains on the Fils Valley line, the Wasen station. In addition to the subur ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Esslingen (Neckar) Station
Esslingen (Neckar) station is the most important station in the town of Esslingen am Neckar in the German state of Baden-Württemberg and is located from Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof on the Fils Valley Railway. History The former imperial city of Esslingen (then spelt ''Eßlingen'') was at the end of the first railway line in Württemberg, the Württemberg Central Railway (german: Württembergischen Centralbahn), connecting Esslingen, Stuttgart and Ludwigsburg. Benefitting from the flat route along the Neckar, the work went forward quickly and Eßlingen station was opened to traffic on 20 November 1845. It had a two-storey entrance building and a locomotive depot. Later a residence for railway officials was added. Not all members of the district's council saw the new transport mode as an advantage. It was the end of the line, but it was not long before construction of the Fils Valley line continued. They feared that Eßlingen station would become a minor maintenance station on the Ea ...

Plochingen Station
Plochingen station is the only station in the town of Plochingen in the German state of Baden-Württemberg and the most important railway junction of the Esslingen district. It is located 22.8 kilometres from Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof on the Fils Valley Railway and at the beginning of the Neckar-Alb Railway. History In the planning of the Fils Valley Railway (german: Filstalbahn) from Stuttgart to Ulm the chief engineer Michael Knoll foresaw a station southeast of Plochingen. At that time, approximately 1,900 people lived in the market town and its vineyards.

Wendlingen (Neckar) Station
Wendlingen (Neckar) station (formerly ''Unterboihingen'' station) is the only station in the town of Wendlingen in the German state of Baden-Württemberg and is a railway junction on the Neckar-Alb Railway from which the Teck Railway branches. It is served by regional trains and the Stuttgart S-Bahn. History On 20 September 1859 the Royal Württemberg State Railways opened the Plochingen–Reutlingen line, the first section of the Upper Neckar Railway. Its first stop after Plochingen was Unterboihingen station, which was about 700 metres north of Unterboihingen village. As a connection to the district of Kirchheim was not under consideration by the State Railways, the city council sought on 13 August 1860 permission for a private railway company to build the connection. The railway would run from Unterboihingen to Kirchheim. On 12 August 1863 the Württemberg State Parliament approved its construction. The starting point of the eastward running line was at the Hotel Kei ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
