The station formerly included a freight yard and the abbreviation of the station precinct, including the yards, is TSU. Located near Württemberg mountain, Untertürkheim is home to the headquarters of Daimler AG and the original Mercedes-Benz assembly plant. ==History == On 22 October 1845 the first railway line in Württemberg, the Central Railway (''Zentralbahn'') opened, connecting the small wine-growing community with Cannstatt, early five kilometres from Untertürkheim. On 7 November 1845 the line was extended to Obertürkheim. The first station building was a single story and nearly identical with those in Cannstatt and Obertürkheim. Untertürkheim became a popular destination for day trippers, using the new transport system. Hikers and bathers travelled from nearby Stuttgart. The loading dock was mostly used for shipping agricultural produce to Stuttgart. In the 1890s, the Royal Württemberg State Railways began to develop plans to reduce traffic at Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof (central station). It was proposed to create a bypass track for freight trains providing a direct link between the Eastern Railway and Northern Railway. Untertürkheim station was chosen as the starting point for the new line and as a location for a new freight yard and marshalling yard and Kornwestheim station was chosen as its end point. Construction work started in the spring of 1894. The new freight yard was built next to the street of Cannstatter Straße (Augsburger Straße since 1936) and opened in 1896, in the presence of King William II. The length of the track field was about 2,300 metres and it was on average 125 metres wide. It included an administration building and several service buildings, loading docks for freight and military transport, five signal boxes for 162 sets of points, a separate platform for railway workers and a roundhouse with four stalls and a water tower. At the passenger station there was the entrance building, which still exists, and an administration building, consisting of two wings and a central hall. In the southern wing there was until 1960 a post and telegraph office. In the north there was the parcel and express freight office. A residential building was added for railway staff. Since 1 May 1897, the Rems Railway Curve (''Remsbahnkurve'') has provided a connection between the freight yard and the Rems Railway and the Murr Railway. Duplication of the line to Kornwestheim was completed on 23 September 1904. 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「Stuttgart-Untertürkheim station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
