Spaichingen station
Spaichingen station is a station on the Stuttgart–Hattingen railway in the German state of Baden-Württemberg.
History
Spaichingen station was opened on 15 July 1869 with the Rottweil–Tuttlingen section of the extension of the Upper Neckar Valley Railway, connecting Stuttgart, Plochingen, Tübingen, Horb and Rottweil. On 28 May 1928, Spaichingen became a railway junction with the opening of the Heuberg Railway to Reichenbach, 15 years after its groundbreaking ceremony. Until the line was closed in 1966, it connected Heuberg with Spaichingen, the seat of the Württemberg district until its abolition in 1938. The station is situated on the southern edge of Spaichingen at 676 metres above sea level. It is located near Spaichingen Hauptstraße, part of Bundesstraße 14. Spaichingen has three platform tracks for passenger services. In 1957, the station had a staff of 19 people. The station building is now unoccupied. Originally the station was 445 metres long and up to 74 meters wide. The complex included an office building and a goods shed, which was used as such until 1976 and demolished in 2011.Rail services
