München Hauptbahnhof
Encyclopedia
Munich Central Station is the main railway station of the city of Munich
in Germany
. It is one of the three long distance train stations in Munich, the others being München-Pasing
and München Ost. The station sees about 350,000 passengers a day, which puts it on par with other large stations in Germany, such as Hamburg
and Frankfurt (Main) Hbf
. The mainline station is a terminal station
, the subterranean S-Bahn
and U-Bahn
stations are through stations.
The current site, then situated outside the city walls, saw the first railway station in 1839, with the line from Munich to Lochhausen opening on September 1. On October 4, 1840, the Lochhausen line was extended to Augsburg
. This first station was short-lived, however, as it fell victim to a fire on April 4, 1847.
The station was rebuilt from 1847 to 1849 as the Centralbahnhof according to plans by Friedrich Bürklein
and reopened on September 22, 1849. Further lines were soon added to the station; to Landshut
(in 1858), Nuremberg
in (1859) and Rosenheim
in (1871). In order to cope with the new levels of traffic, the station saw a major rebuild from 1876 to 1884.
In 1893, an outlying station was added to accommodate trains for the line to Starnberg. Another set of tracks was added at the opposite end of the station for trains to Holzkirchen
in 1915.
The station was renamed München Hauptbahnhof in 1904. It sustained heavy damage from allied bombing in 1945 and the damaged train shed
was torn down in 1949.
From 1958 to 1960, the station was rebuilt integrating parts of the old station. The new train shed was built in a contemporary 1960s style by Krupp
, spanning tracks 11 to 26.
From 1967 onwards, the S-Bahn (subway) tunnels and the München Hbf (tief) station which serves them were built underneath the station, opening on April 28, 1972, just before the 1972 Summer Olympics
. The U-Bahn stations were opened in 1980 and 1984.
A new front for the railway station and service hall are to built to a design by Auer+Weber+Assoziierte
. Because of difficulties in financing, it is questionable when the project will be started.
A Transrapid
route to Munich Airport was under consideration for some time and intended to be operational around 2011. However the project never reached construction phase due to skyrocketing costs caused by increasing prices for steel and other materials. It was finally suspended when cost estimates reached €3.2 billion, up from an original estimate of €1.85 billion.
in Bavaria. There are 32 tracks, split over the original three stations:
The subterranean Munich S-Bahn station is separated operationally from the mainline station and known as München Hbf (tief). To optimise passenger flow, separate platforms for entering and disembarking trains exist. The subway station is situated near the U-Bahn lines for the U1 and U2 trains, but if one wishes to change from the S-Bahn to U4/U5 trains, it is more practical to stay on the S-Bahn to Karlsplatz (Stachus), as the U4/U5 station is on the opposite side of the station.
Due to the station's size, walking from one platform to another may take a considerable amount of time. Deutsche Bahn
recommends planning for a minimum walking time of 10 minutes from the central hall to Starnberger Bahnhof or Holzkirchner Bahnhof; 15 minutes between Starnberger and Holzkirchner Bahnhof; and 15 minutes between the S-Bahn station and Holzkirchner Bahnhof.
The two outlying parts of the station have shorter tracks than the main hall, which means passengers always have to walk down most of the length of either platform 11 or 26 when changing from there. Unlike Frankfurt Hbf, there is no passenger subway under the tracks.
The mainline station is only closed between 1:30 and 3:00. The S-Bahn stations operate almost 24/7, and the U-Bahn station closes only between 1:30 and 4:00 (2:30-4:00 on weekends).
