History

→ Main article: S-Bahn Nürnberg - History

Already in 1966, the first demands for an S- train network in the metropolitan area of Nuremberg were loud. A step in this direction was made by the German Federal Railways with the compression of the clock on the main routes during rush hour in 1969. The link between Nuremberg - Wet ( - Altdorf ) was involved in it and was henceforth in 30 -minute intervals (Nuremberg - wet ) or 60 -minute intervals (wet - Altdorf ) served. This offer had to be withdrawn in the following years for operational reasons and because of the partially poor utilization of the trains again, still an improvement of Zugangebotes was the part of the railway continues to target. For this purpose, the then Railway Board (BD) Nuremberg in 1971 awarded the design contract to develop solutions to improve the public transport offer. The results was presented on 20 March 1975 as a " framework plan for the S -Bahn Nürnberg ", in which an S -Bahn line from Nuremberg was included on Wetlands to Altdorf. This was part of the set on June 29, 1979 " 1 Stage of construction "of the S -Bahn Nürnberg as well as the closed on November 2, 1981 financing agreement, whereby the recessed planning could begin.

Preliminary planning

→ Main article: evolution towards the new Nuremberg -Ingolstadt

The detailed plans for this line were dependent on the decision of the German Federal Railways, as the ending in Würzburg high-speed line over Nuremberg should be connected to Munich. The choice was between the variant " mainline replacement route " by the Nuremberg Reich Forest and upgrading of the railway line between Nuremberg and Augsburg, and proposed by the BD Nuremberg as an alternative on August 3, 1983 Version new Nuremberg -Ingolstadt and upgrading of the railway line from Munich to Ingolstadt. Resistance to the second variant, it was from Swabia, so that the web was commissioned by the Free State of Bavaria an opinion on the investigation of the variants in order. As a result was not timely manner to be expected, which would have delayed the start of construction for the S2 indefinitely, developed the most S-Bahn project participants 1987, a variant neutral solution for the S- Bahn tracks, for after the completion of the approval process from June 1988 Construction Law was.

Construction

Construction of the track began on 15 June 1988, proposed at a cost of 587 million Deutsche Mark ( 300.13 million euros ) for the entire S2 to book. In this sum in addition to the S -Bahn -compliant conversion of the existing and the new construction of additional stations and the adaptation of rail infrastructure to the new situation was contained.

The existing stations Nuremberg - Gleisshammer, Fischbach ( near Nuremberg ) and wetland were provided with 145 m long and 92 cm high platforms and expanded accessible. Was rebuilt in the breakpoint Nuremberg - Dürrenhof over the Dürrenhoftunnel as separation station for the S1 (Nürnberg Hbf - left ( Pegnitz ) ) and S2. The Bahnhof Nürnberg- dozen pond was decommissioned and replaced by the two surrounding buildings better be tapped stations. West of the station at the overpass on the south ring (B 4 R ), the new breakpoint Nuremberg - dozen pond and east of Nuremberg Franken Stadium station on the overpass over the Hans- calf - road originated. At the time, could not be realized, the breakpoint Nuremberg - Altenfurt. To link with the private transport were bicycle storage (B R) at the stations Nuremberg - Gleisshammer, Nuremberg dozen pond, Fischbach ( near Nuremberg ) and wet and for car ( P R) at the stations Nuremberg dozen pond, Fischbach ( near Nuremberg ) and wetland built.

At the breakpoint Fischbach ( near Nuremberg ) was used to control the entire S-Bahn line Nuremberg - Wet - Altdorf built an electronic interlocking.

Thus, the S-Bahn trains could operate independent of the time already heavily loaded rail route to Regensburg in the future, a separate route to the east of the existing built. This was applied to two tracks on a short section between Fischbach and damp and where necessary provided with noise barriers. More construction work related to the area of the eastern station exit to improve the interchange with the underground, as well as the dozen Pond Station. In order to make the two S -Bahn lines, as foreseen by the planners end up on the tracks 2/3, to September 1990, a two-pronged own route on the north side of the eastern station exit was created. This is followed by the level of free unloading, the route to Schwandorf and the overpass over the railway line Nuremberg - Cheb and the access tracks to the " storage sidings East" at. On dozen Pond Station had the track plan, even with respect to the time already planned high-speed railway to Ingolstadt, to be unbundled. The S- Bahn tracks were arranged centrally between the route of the ring road of Nuremberg East or Nuremberg - Mögeldorf direction Nuremberg marshalling yard and the railway line between Nuremberg and Regensburg, which is why the previous level cross at the passenger train Nuremberg - Regensburg with the freight trains from Hof ​​/ Schirnding / Furth had to be abandoned in the forest towards Nuremberg marshalling yard. As a substitute for the direction of Regensburg was built between the stations Nuremberg Franken Stadium and Fischbach ( near Nuremberg ) a level- crossing -free building for the branching to the southwest ring railway tracks to or coming from the yard tracks.

As part of the S-Bahn to the Neumarkt single-track section between Fischbach and wetland should be expanded to double track to increase capacity by 12 December 2010 which due to the weather could not be complied with. The construction work was rescheduled from 15 to 17 November 2011, since April 18, 2011, route is fully expanded twofold.

Route description
