With its eight station tracks it is the largest station in the district of Ludwigsburg. It is served by regional trains, line S 5 of the Stuttgart S-Bahn and line S 5 of the Karlsruhe Stadtbahn. ==History== Bietigheim station was opened on 11 October 1847 along with the Ludwigsburg–Bietigheim section of the Northern Railway, connecting Stuttgart with Heilbronn. The station was about two km outside the town in the forest of Laiernwald. The Royal Württemberg State Railways had rejected all efforts by the town council to have the station built closer to the town. In addition to the station building, there were initially a building for other offices, a goods shed and a locomotive depot. On 25 July 1848 the remainder of the Northern Railway between Bietigheim and Heilbronn was opened. According to Charles Vignoles’ proposals of 1843/44 the Western Railway to Bruchsal would have separated from the Northern Railway near Tamm. Karl Etzel proposed in 1845 the more northerly branch in Bietigheim, since the Enz valley was at its narrowest there and therefore a shorter and lower bridge was required than under the original plan. Under Vignoles' plan from a 46 m high and 515 m long viaduct would have been required at Bissinger Sägmühle; under Etzel’s plan the viaduct would be only 26 m high and 287 m long. Despite its longer route, Etzel’s alignment saved 400,000 gulden. In February 1846 the Württemberg Treasury agreed to the construction of the Bietigheim Enz Valley Viaduct. At the time Etzel was courting the daughter of Württemberg Finance Minister, Karl von Gärttner, who came from Bietigheim, and they were married in 1847. This gave rise to speculation that Etzel's father-in-law favoured a junction that was close to his home. In 1852 the Northern Railway track from Stuttgart to Bietigheim was duplicated. The second track was built on the left side of the station building, meaning that it now became an island between the tracks. The new line was opened on 1 October 1853. On 8 December 1879 the first trains ran on the Backnang–Bietigheim line. The connection to Backnang allowed freight trains to run between Backnang and Mühlacker or Heilbronn. At that time Bietigheim station was the second largest station in Württemberg. In 1887, the first factories were established near the station. Residential and commercial buildings were also built nearby. In 1940 a third track was built on the Northern Railway between Ludwigsburg and Bietigheim. Although a fourth track was then planned, it was not built for 41 years. Several air raids during the Second World War inflicted severe damage to the rail infrastructure. The railway line to Backnang was not rebuilt and the section between Bietigheim and Beihingen-Heutingsheim (now Freiberg am Neckar) was closed. Part of it is still used as a siding. A makeshift station was rebuilt. Stuttgart suburban trains were extended to Bietigheim with the electrification of the Ludwigsburg-Bietigheim section in October 1950. In 1975, the town of Bietigheim and the community of Bissingen an der Enz were merged to form the town of Bietigheim-Bissingen. As a result, the station was similarly renamed. In 1981 it became a terminal station of the Stuttgart S-Bahn. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bietigheim-Bissingen station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
