History

From planning the Rhein-Nahe Railway for railway connection Stauder home

Although the first attempts to build a railway line along the Nahe, go back to the year 1839, the rail connection Stauder home was unsafe. However, disputes between Prussia and the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg on the lines initially prevented the realization of such. While Prussia was to have the route directly along the Nahe, Oldenburg championed the connection of the city lying in a side Birkenfeld, which was also the capital of its exclave of the same name. 1856 there was on the part of the then to Bavaria belonging Palatinate initiatives to lead the planned railway line at Boos from the Nahe to let then run to Altenglan along the Glan over Kusel and from there to St. Wendel or along the Easter until after Neunkirchen. The reasoning of this third variant built on the fact that they would be shorter and cheaper than a lines along the entire Nahe. For tactical reasons, Prussia acted initially receptive to these plans, which meant that small at Oldenburg and was originally from the former verfochtener lines accepted.

Even in a closed on June 7, 1856 State Treaty between the Kingdom of Prussia and the Landgraviate of 7 June 1856, agreed in Article 5:

" On Landgräflich Hessian areas is as near as possible to the bridge nearest the place Staudernheim on the leading Near ( Langrafenbrücke ) and applied a stopping place on the same conducting road and maintain continuously "

It was decided that all ordinary trains had to stop here, the express trains but only to the neighboring Prussian station Sobernheim. After the portion Bingerbrück -Kreuznach in 1858 was passable, the opening between Kreuznach and Oberstein took place on December 15, 1859, which had received Staudernheim connection to the railway network. 1884 was the two railroad tracks upgrading of the railway.

Origin of Glantalbahn

In 1860 a committee was formed called notables, Glan and Lauter valley. It campaigned for a railway line that branch in Kaiserslautern from the Palatine Ludwig Railway, then run through the volume up and the lower Glantal and should meet in Staudernheim on the accomplished in the same year Rhein-Nahe Railway. Prussia behaved covered because it feared that the near distance could lose in importance. However, the project received support from Hesse -Homburg, who wanted to have his exclave Meisenheim connected to the rail network. The Hessian Privy Christian Bansa sat 1861 the Prussian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also for the planned rail link, arguing that it has a higher demand than exists for a well planned route along the Alsenz. The plans failed, because Prussia only support the establishment of Bad Münster hitting the near distance Alsenztalbahn.

Once entered into the following two decades, the initiatives for the Glantal on the spot, Bavaria and Prussia was signed on October 28, 1891 a treaty which it contained, by tying since 1883 powered Lauter Valley Railway Kaiserslautern Lauterecken up to Staudernheim. The section Lauterecken - Or Home was opened in October 1896. Closing the gap to Staudernheim delayed because landowners tried locally, hochzuhandeln prices for the premises sold to the railway. Accordingly, the missing section was taken in December of the year in attack. On 1 July 1897, the distance between Kaiserslautern and Staudernheim was navigable IHrr full length.

As part of the opening track of the station underwent a major expansion. In this context, he received, among other things, eight additional points, three head tracks with a total length of 1500 meters, a hub whose diameter was 16.07 meters, service lines, which were 297 feet long, a head and side ramp with about 200 meters length. At the eastern part of the station, there was also a water station for the steam locomotives of the Pfalzbahn.

Further development (1897-1945)

Since the meantime the foreign policy conditions had changed, the construction of a strategic railway from Homburg to Bad Münster was championed at the same time; between Glan- Münchweiler and Altenglan the railway line Landstuhl - Kusel and between Lauterecken and Home Or the beginning in Kaiserslautern railway line should be shared. Their opening finally took place in 1904, making the section Or Home Stauder Hein was initially relegated to a feeder service. While the Glantalbahn had been expanded throughout two tracks in their relation to the Homburg Bad Muenster, the connection distance from Staudernheim remained single track.

Post-war period (1945-1996)

In particular, the section Or Home Bad Münster strategic railway line had possessed only low traffic- meaning outside of wartime, so it was decommissioned in 1961 and broken down in the following two years. In parallel, the connection according Or Home was first upgraded because the trains Glantalbahn henceforth go towards Bad Münster to Staudernheim and had to make there head. Among these were the two Eilzugpaare between two bridges and Mainz, which were established in 1965. Initiator of this compound was the then Zweibrücker Mayor Oscar Munzinger, who was also at this time in the Landtag of Rhineland -Palatinate and wanted to have his two jobs linked. In the vernacular, these trains were therefore referred to as " Munzinger - Express". In 1967 there was another pair between Homburg and Gau Algesheim. From 1970, these compounds were officially only local trains before they were fully set in 1979.

As part of the modernization of the Middle Valley Railway mechanical signaling systems were taken out of service at the station around 1980. After the sections Homburg - Glan- Münchweiler and Altenglan - Lauterecken - Grumbach had been in 1981 or 1985 set on the Glantalbahn passenger, ended on 30 May 1986 on the section between Lauterecken - Grumbach and Staudernheim passenger transport also. As with Meis Home and Home Or only two stations were operated in freight traffic in this section and the former was hit by Lauter corners, there were between Meis home and home Or no regular traffic more. On September 25, 1988 Home Or was closed as a freight tariff point, the total closure of the lower Glantalbahn took place on 1 July 1996.

Current development (since 1996)

Meanwhile, a report was produced, dasszu came to the conclusion that a reactivation of the lower Glantlabahnabschnitts Lauterecken - Staudernheim is economically sensible. A realization of this project but failed for financial reasons. In order to prevent a permanent cessation including track degradation, entertained students at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern plans under which an operation with railway track cars should be set up on the Glantalbahn between Altenglan and Staudernheim. Among the supporters of this project included the Kusel district Winfried Hirschberg, which in 2000 finally succeeded in achieving. The northern starting point of the trolley route is located on the junction of the Middle Route, but its transfer to the Staudernheim station is planned.

As of 2008, there were plans to modernize the station fundamentally. This included a disabled extension in the form of raising platforms to a height of 55 centimeters, the installation of two elevators, a ramp for wheelchair users as well as a renewal of staircases including adaptation of stairs to the new platform height. The corresponding construction began in 2010; the conversion costs totaled 2.5 million euros. In June 2012, the work was completed, so then the official inauguration of the modernized ahnhofs local politicians took place with the participation of several state and.

Traffic

Passenger

With the continuous opening of the Middle Route in 1860, a total of four pairs of trains wrong between Saarbrücken and Bingerbrück. Due to its minor importance the quick trains stopped only in neighboring Sobernheim.

With the continuous opening of the lower Glantalbahn in 1897 to Staudernheim perverted through trains to and from Kaiserslautern over the existing since 1883 Lauter Valley Railway, making the station underwent a traffic- appreciation. After the Glantalbahn was opened in 1904 on their full length between Homburg and Bad Münster, these trains were canceled. From then on the wrong degraded to the connecting path section after home or steam railcars. Only later it was back out through connections or home. By decommissioning the Glantalbahn between the Oder home and Bad Münster in 1961 drove all trains on this route Staudernheim; until recently many were bound by them to Sobernheim. Until the early 1990s was Staudernheim maintenance of regional rapid transit, before this type of train was abandoned.

Since the close distance between Saarbruecken and Türkismühle is eleftrifiziert since 1969, driving the regional trains ( RB) to the west, with few exceptions only way to Türkismühle; electrification of the remaining Near Switchback failed due to the complicated topography of the route.

Daily carried an hourly service by the regional train line RB 33 In the 2 -hour clock stops at Staudernheim station close - Express. Every two hours, there is furthermore a direct connection from or to Frankfurt am Main.

Compounds

Freight traffic

Until the late 1980s, the station was operated in freight traffic. Since the neighboring Glantalbahn had in this respect only played a minor role, wrong on the section according Or Home to 1988 a transfer freight train up to Kirn, where the entire cargo was brought together along the western Near Valley Railway; a Nahgüterzug then drove up after Bingerbrück.
