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
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
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
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
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.
