Architecture

The today is a listed station building was built according to plans by Eduard Rüber than one storey Sandsteinquaderbau. It consisted of an open Mittelbau to be joined in the north and in the south ever a waiting room for passengers. Between 1868-1870, the first conversion was followed by Friedrich Bürklein, in which the entire building increased and the porch was converted to an open loggia with Neurenaissanceelementen. 1919 designed a loggia to an enclosed porch to that was in the 1950s, replaced by a modern waiting room. During the last renovation 1991, the state before the post-war time modernization was visually restored.

History

The station was opened together with the Ludwig South - North Railway section Nuremberg -Bamberg already on August 25, 1844, the birthday of King Ludwig I, of the Bavarian State Railways. However, the regular operation on the route could be taken after completion of all construction works only on 1 September 1844 the passenger service was followed a month later on October 1, 1844. To railway station he was with the opening of the secondary path Erlangen- Graefenberg ( " Secu " ) on 17 November 1886. trains of the secondary path generally concluded in a track south of the reception building. Due to the increasing volume of traffic, the single-track line was no longer grown, was the two-pronged scale from the start line towards Bamberg 1891 and 1892 passed from Fürth coming traffic. On 1 October 1894 outbound from Nuremberg Central suburban traffic was set up, which had one of its endpoints in Erlangen. The station was also the terminus of the passenger trains on the route of Erlangen- Herzogenaurach until the passenger on September 28, 1984 were adjusted. Further expansion saw the train station with the inclusion of the electric train service on May 15, 1939. After the Second World War and the division of Germany, the date on the railway line between Nuremberg and Bamberg running traffic shifted to the north on the route via Würzburg and coupled to the train station thus from the long-distance transport. His function as a hub went with the closure of the " Secu " lost on 17 February 1963. In the late 1960s, an improved local transport service with dense clocks was in the Nuremberg, as a precursor to a possible S-Bahn system, introduced on the main lines, in the Erlangen was also integrated. The plans were concretised in the 1980s and Erlangen set a target for the second stage of the Nuremberg S- Bahn network, but initially followed by integration into the VGN founded on 27 September 1987. After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of the long-distance range has been substantially extended to Berlin.

Planning

In connection with the high-speed line Nuremberg -Erfurt or the S -Bahn to Forchheim adjustments to the track plan and the infrastructure of the station are provided. The two outer tracks (1 and 4 ) are approached in the future of long-distance and fast regional services, the two middle tracks (2 and 3 ) are the S -Bahn reserved, for which the existing platform to S -Bahn - level (140 m long and 76 cm high) is placed. The double track connection between track 2 and 3 at the southern end of the platform is removed and replaced north of the station by platform changes between all tracks. Between the bridge over the Martin Bühler road and the bridge over the Schwabach a turning track for the years ending in Erlangen S-Bahn courses will be built.

Following the expansion of the platform 1 is modified so that trains can pass through the station at a speed of 160 km / hr.
