History
Right late, only about 1851 to Bavaria decided to build an east-west rail link between the German states and Italy via the Brenner railway, and Salzburg to Vienna and Semmering. Good utilization of the route was promised by the connection to the Austrian Adriatic port of Trieste. Such treaties were concluded with the Kingdom of Württemberg and the Austrian Government on April 25, 1850 or 1851. Included in the new line, the existing line Augsburg- Munich, which had opened in 1846 nationalized formerly private Munich - Augsburg Railway Company in 1840. After its nationalization in 1846, a new main train station and in Oberhausen new railway facilities were created and connected at Rosenau mountain in Augsburg; the old railway stations on the Red Gate and in Oberhausen were abandoned.
The route had its origin at the border of Württemberg and Bavaria in the middle of the newly built bridge over the Danube between Ulm and Neu-Ulm and led about 85 km to Augsburg. Make the connection to the Ulm station presented Württemberg ago. In Ulm, the Eastern Railway from Stuttgart and the Southern Railway joined to Friedrichshafen.
From Munich, the route led over 106 km long Großhesselohe and Rosenheim to Kufstein to the Austrian Unterinntalbahn. The Salzburg line branched off in Rosenheim and led with 83 km length Traunstein the border near Salzburg.
Streckenbau
The Bavarian law of May 4, 1851 initiated the construction of the western branch part. Was opened the 83.7 km long stretch in four sections:
The construction of the eastern route part fixed the Bavarian Law of 7 May 1852 Opened the 188 km route in five sections. :
The three -year break to continue the path of Großhesselohe to Rosenheim is due to the complex construction of the great 300 -meter-long Großhesseloher bridge over the river Isar. The three 30 meter high pillar made the bridge to the then second highest railway bridge in the world. The foundation work started already in 1852. The heavy traffic on this first section has already led to 1862 for the construction of a second track. From 1871, however, this part of the Maximiliansbahn lost after the opening of the shorter route via Grafing long distance service.
Between Augsburg and Ulm, the line was expanded to double track until 1892. As part of the electrification between Stuttgart and Augsburg, to May 1933 also line improvements have been made over a length of 55 km. Between Dinkelscherben and Munich -Pasing the track is now equipped with automatic train parts and approved up to 200 km / h for speeds. Between Mammendorf and Munich additionally separate tracks for the S-Bahn are available.
