Mindelheim station is the station of the district town of Mindelheim in the German state of Bavaria and lies about one km south of the original town.
History
[edit]
In 2007/08, the station was renovated at a cost of €8 million. The four former tracks were reduced to three due to lack of space. A pedestrian underpass was built from Bahnhofstraße to Allgäuer Straße and an underpass for cars was built one km to the southwest; the level crossing on the old route of federal highway 16 was removed.
The Buchloe–Memmingen railway has been electrified since December 2020.
Description
[edit]The station is located on the Buchloe–Memmingen railway and is the terminus of the Günzburg–Mindelheim railway, which runs via Krumbach to Günzburg.
The station has three platform tracks. Platform 1 is next to the station building and platforms 2 and 4 can be reached via an underpass. Platform 1 is used by trains to Gunzburg and Memmingen, while platform 2 is kept free for non-stopping services. When this is not necessary, services to Memmingen and Lindau stop on platform 2. Trains to Munich or Augsburg stop on platform 4.
There are two ticket machines. A ticket office operates during peak periods only.[4]
Station building
[edit]On the lower floor of the station building there is a restaurant, the office of the station master, a counter, two kiosks and a bus shelter. The upper floor contains apartments. The building is in poor condition and its outer walls have crumbling plaster and exposed brick.
Operations
[edit]Six pairs daily of EuroCity-Express services on line 88 are operated by Swiss Federal Railways through Mindelheim between Munich and Zurich, but do not stop.
