History

edit

At its greatest extent, the station had six tracks, one for freights with a still existing freight station at the bay platform, three platform roads and two through roads, one of which was transformed into a stub track in the direction of Lenggries. Between 1975 and 1999, the coaches of the Bavarian Localbahn Society were stored on this track, and locomotives waited on track four for through coaches from Munich to Tegernsee. Today, the station still has the three platform roads, the first two of which are served by passenger traffic.

Traffic

edit

Until 1998, coaches to Tegernsee from Munich and partly Dortmund were hauled by locomotives of the TAG. Since 1998, trains of the Bayerische Oberlandbahn stop every hour, which run from Munich via Holzkirchen are split or joined in Schaftlach. The front part of the train continues to Lenggries, the rear part runs with a change of direction to Tegernsee. Since 2020, the trains have been operated with LINT railcars.
