Royal Württemberg State Railways
The Royal Württemberg State Railways (''Königlich Württembergische Staats-Eisenbahnen'' or ''K.W.St.E.'') were the state railways of the Kingdom of Württemberg (from 1918 the ''People's State of Württemberg'') between 1843 and 1920. Please see also the main article History of the railway in Württemberg. Early history As in many other states of the German Empire, there was increasing debate about how to improve transport communications across the country from about 1825. Private interest groups were formed and, from 1834, the state also worked on the question, giving experts the task of finding suitable solutions. After years of preparatory work, it was decided to set up a railway network, the main lines of which would be built by the state. The Railway Bill of 18 April 1843, established the legal foundation for the construction of the railway network; this date is seen as the birthday for the ''K.W.St.E.''. The law expressly envisaged that the construction of branch r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It is located 22.8 kilometres from Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof on the Fils Valley Railway and at the beginning of the Neckar-Alb Railway.

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] |

German Railway Station Categories
The approximately 5,400 railway stations in Germany that are owned and operated by the Deutsche Bahn subsidiary DB Station&Service are divided into seven categories, denoting the service level available at the station. This categorisation influences the amount of money railway companies need to pay to DB Station&Service for using the facilities at the stations. Categories Category 1 The 21 stations in Category 1 are considered traffic hubs. They are permanently staffed and carry all sorts of railway-related facilities, as well as usually featuring a shopping mall in the station. Most of these stations are the central (commonly referred to as main) stations (''Hauptbahnhof'' or ''Hbf'') of large cities with 500,000 inhabitants and above, though some in smaller cities, such as Karlsruhe Hauptbahnhof, are regarded as important because they are at the junction of important railway lines. Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Cologne, the four biggest cities in Germany, have more than ... [...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 ...
