66-658: The Wabern–Brilon Wald railway is a 86.7 kilometre-long, single-track, partially disused secondary railway line from Wabern in North Hesse to Brilon-Wald in North Rhine-Westphalia . The disused middle section from Bad Wildungen to Korbach is called the Ederseebahn (Eder Railway) after the nearby Edersee (Lake Eder), while the section between Korbach and Brilon Wald is called the Uplandbahn (Upland Railway) after
132-625: A 20-metre-long platform was built in its support in Affoldern at the Edersee Info-Point . The line ends directly in front of the Eder Bridge near Hemfurth. It was originally planned to extend the line to Hemfurth station, but this could not be carried out because the Eder Bridge is also used by road vehicles. Before Bergheim, the Edersee Railway crosses from the southern to the northern bank of
198-595: A closure process. It was only averted due to pressure from the DB and the Kurhessenbahn. Since then, the very dilapidated infrastructure has been renewed and accessibility has been improved. At the end of the work, the line was completely closed from 2 July to 4 October 2010. During this time, the line was converted to computer-based signalling and the Birkenbringhausen and Simtshausen stations were moved closer to
264-667: A cost-benefit analysis was carried out, which did not find that the line would have any economic benefit. As a result, the Nordhessischer Verkehrsverbund (NVV) exercised its right to withdraw from the implementation of the project. At that time, plans included the investment of €43 million to accelerate operations on the Cölbe–Korbach route to establish good connections to the Regional-Express to Frankfurt in Marburg and to
330-514: A later date. This crossing station would be necessary due to the planned connection in Brilon Wald to the RE ;57 service to Dortmund. Since this line was intended to eventually run every two hours between Brilon City and Dortmund and has an unusual symmetry minute at 30 minutes past the hour, journeys towards Brilon have to be delayed by an hour in order to make a connection. With the construction of
396-616: A line festival. Scheduled passenger services resumed on 14 September 2015. Just three months after the start of operations, the NVV reported that the number of passengers was 400 passengers per day (Monday to Friday), which was well above the projection of 250 at the end of the period considered for the planning. Politicians and transport operators decided in March 2014 that a station allowing trains to cross would be built in Frankenberg -Viermünden at
462-488: A maximum speed of 60 km/h. The travel time from Korbach to Frankenberg is 38 minutes. The start of construction work was delayed until 30 June 2014. On 11 September 2015 after 15 months of construction, the line was officially put back into operation in the presence of the Hessian Transport Minister Tarek Al-Wazir and on 12/13 September 2015 public operations commenced with
528-423: A route from Frankfurt to Bremerhaven (and to Hamburg for a time). A pair of express trains ran from Bad Wildungen to Amsterdam and back until 1991. Traffic between Bergheim-Giflitz and Korbach was stopped on 27 May 1995 due to the need to renovate bridge structures. Subsequently, the line from Bad Wildungen via Bergheim-Giflitz to Hemfurth-Edersee was used for excursion traffic, using the E.ON connecting track to
594-469: A significantly denser train service is provided between Brilon Wald and Willingen from Friday to Sunday, with some services running to/from Hagen and Dortmund, offering further travel options. The Uplandbahn between Korbach and Brilon Wald is particularly important for the development of the tourist and winter sports location of Willingen in the Waldeck Upland . Local passenger services are operated by

From Wabern, the Edersee Railway runs to Bad Wildungen . The main centre of Wabern lies on the Eder and Schwalm floodplain , a few kilometres south of where the Schwalm empties into the Eder. The community of Wabern consists of ten centres, the main centre, bearing
858-516: Is also little freight traffic to Korbach. The trains between Korbach and Frankenberg run every two hours and hourly in the morning and afternoon. Since the travel time between the junction at Korbach and Viermünden is too short for stable operation, services that are additional to the basic two-hour pattern have to omit the stops in Ederbringhausen, Schmittlotheim and Thalitter. Most of the trains run through from Brilon Stadt to Marburg. According to
924-551: Is another connection to the Alme Valley Railway , which was restored for passenger traffic as far as Brilon Stadt in December 2011. A large proportion of the trains from Korbach terminate at Brilon Stadt. The line was opened in several sections: Until about 1982, a Heckeneilzug ("hedge express"; a train that runs express in metropolitan areas, but stops at all stations in rural areas) ran between Korbach and Brilon as part of
990-582: Is known as the Twistetalbahn (Twiste Valley Railway), has been dismantled. Since the reactivation of the section between Korbach Süd and Frankenberg on 11 September 2015 there has been continuous rail traffic from Marburg to Brilon Stadt (from Korbach via the Wabern–Brilon Wald railway ). The line initially runs in a double loop through Warburg down into the Diemel valley and then runs upstream along
1056-457: Is still served by occasional trains carrying timber from Frankenberg, Battenberg and a siding in Allendorf . It is likely that it will be completely closed in the next few years, as the ability to operate on the line to Battenberg is only guaranteed for four years and numerous speed limits will be imposed on the trains. Traffic could have been completely stopped in 2007. The NVV wanted to initiate
1122-457: Is the 31 kilometre-long middle section of the Warburg–Sarnau line. It opened on 1 May 1900. Passenger traffic was largely made up of commuters bound for Frankenberg , Marburg or Korbach . In Frankenberg, it was possible to transfer to Winterberg , Bad Berleburg and Bestwig . Brilon -Wald and Bad Wildungen could be reached from Korbach. A Heckeneilzug ("hedge express", that it is

After Usseln, the line reaches Stryck station, northeast of Stryck, after again crossing under federal road 251, where trains only stop when ski jumping events are held at the Mühlenkopfschanze . The line now turns to the northeast and crosses
1254-730: The Eder upstream to Frankenberg. In Burgwald, the line crosses Rhine–Weser watershed via the Wiesenfeld Tunnel, reaching the valley of the Wetschaft at Ernsthausen. In Sarnau, where the Wetschaft joins the Lahn , the line also joins the Kreuztal–Cölbe railway . The almost 44 kilometre-long northern section, also known as the Twistetalbahn , runs between Warburg and Welda in North Rhine-Westphalia . The section from Warburg to Arolsen (which

However, the trains stop at nine because the section of line through the stations of Cölbe and Marburg (Lahn) , which is also served, is no longer considered to form part of the Burgwald Railway. There used to be stations at Todenhausen and Niederwetter , but these were closed in
1386-657: The Frankfurt Rhine-Main region. Freight traffic on the line, which was only of a regional nature, was sometimes significant. The most important railway junction on the line was Frankenberg, but from the 1960s onwards it became less and less important and with the closure of the Upper Edertal Railway in 1981 and the Lower Edertal Railway in 1987 it was left as only a terminus for trains from Marburg. Passenger and freight traffic also decreased significantly on

In Korbach, it is possible change to the line to Brilon Wald (Uplandbahn) , which is also operated by the Kurhessenbahn . The line continues through the narrow valleys of the Kuhbach and the Itter (which requires two tunnels) to Herzhausen, past the beginning of the Edersee . The railway line then follows
1650-679: The Upland range. The line towards Korbach commences at Wabern (Bz Kassel) station in the municipality of Wabern , where there is a connection to the Main-Weser Railway . It initially runs upstream in the valley of the Eder through the Schwalm-Eder district to Zennern, after which it crosses Autobahn 49 , and continues along federal road 253 via Fritzlar and through the Porta Hassiaca (Hessian Gate) via Ungedanken and Mandern to Wega. The line from Mandern to Willingen passes through
1716-652: The Volkmarsen–Vellmar-Obervellmar railway in 1897 created a direct connection to Kassel . Since passengers were mostly bound for Kassel and wanted to avoid the round about route via Warburg and a change of trains, traffic on the Volkmarsen–Kassel route developed more strongly than on the Volkmarsen–Warburg route. Therefore, passenger services on this section ended on 28 May 1967. Freight operations ended on 10 March 1977. Since this section
1782-504: The Waldeck Pumped Storage Station running between Bergheim-Giflitz and Hemfurth-Edersee. Traffic was stopped again on 3 October 2001 due to the need to rehabilitate the line. Reactivation of the line is still under discussion. Freight traffic between Korbach and Bad Wildungen was discontinued on 1 January 1992. Service run every two on the section between Wabern and Bad Wildungen. There are deviations from this pattern in

These are grown over a wide area around the community. In June 2015 Claus Steinmetz (SPD) was elected mayor with 60.7% of the votes. The local stately home, Landgrave Karl von Hesse's Jagd- und Lustschloss Wabern (roughly "Wabern Hunting and Delight Palace"),
1980-562: The 1980s. All trains on the route are operated by the DB subsidiary, Kurhessenbahn . The fare structure of the Nordhessischer Verkehrsverbund (NVV) applies to most of the line, while that of the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbundes (RMV) applies between Münchhausen and Marburg. Regional trains run every hour from Korbach via Bad Arolsen and Volkmarsen to Kassel. These are mostly operated with Stadler GTW (class 646) diesel railcars. There
2046-506: The 1990s, there were calls for the reopening of this section. As a result, passenger services resumed on 4 October 1998. It was one of the first reactivations of rail services in Hesse. In the meantime, operations have been taken over by the DB subsidiary Kurhessenbahn and the number of passengers has increased. From 28 May 2006 to 9 December 2006, the line was converted to a computer-based interlocking and extensively renovated. With

In 2002, when the Kurhessenbahn integrated the Burgwald Railway into its network, which was operated with then modern class 628 railcars, the decline in passenger traffic was stopped, but freight traffic continued to decline sharply. Until 2005, it was the only branch line in Hesse with daily freight traffic. Today, it

There it crossed the Eder to end at a terminal station near the valley station of the Peterskopfbahn funicular railway. A little to the north of it is the Edersee dam. In 2006, a Draisine line was established on an approximately two-kilometre section between Affoldern and Hemfurth. A new stop with
2442-592: The Kurhessenbahn. The average speed of the trains is around 53 km/h. Both sections, which are still being used, have been threatened with closure several times in recent years. The line between Korbach and Willingen was temporarily out of order due to the dilapidation of Willingen Viaduct. The renovation of the four viaducts in Rhena, Bömighausen, Usseln and Willingen enabled the Kurhessenbahn to resume continuous operation. The maximum permissible speed has been increased to 100 km/h. Control of Usseln and Willingen stations
2508-531: The NVV, an average of 440 passengers per day used the reactivated section of the route and up to 700 on peak days such as on weekends. Since the reactivation of the line, the number of passengers on the connecting lines has also increased. The Kurhessenbahn estimated the demand at 600 passengers a day in 2020. Between Frankenberg (Eder) and Marburg (Lahn) there are hourly Regionalbahn services on weekdays, which cross in Münchhausen . The transport associations run
2574-474: The RE 17 to Hagen in Brilon Wald. The potential passenger traffic between Korbach and Frankenberg of 1150 passengers per day was not enough to justify these costs. As a lead-up to the planned reactivation, excursion services were operated from Frankenberg to Herzhausen on Sundays and public holidays in 2006 and 2007, but this was not continued in the following years as a result of Waldeck-Frankenberg budget cuts. After

First it runs through the Wega Tunnel directly west of Wega, piercing a wooded spur, and then continues up the Eder valley via Anraff and Giflitz (Bergheim-Giflitz station) to Bergheim. While the main line continues towards Korbach, the decommissioned E.ON connecting line ran from Bergheim through

Before the completion of the crossing station at Viermünden, most trains continued to Bestwig due to a lack of connections. The hourly rotation has the additional advantage that the trains terminating in Frankenberg do not have to wait for more than an hour. The crossing point was originally supposed to go into operation in December 2016. It

With the new RE 57 service, Dortmund–Brilon, good connections to the Sauerland and the Ruhr area could be created in Brilon Wald without having to upgrade the line between Korbach and Cölbe for higher speeds. Under this option, there could also be good connections towards Kassel in Korbach on

On 29 September 2011, the local daily newspapers, the Frankenberger Zeitung and the Hessische/Niedersächsische Allgemeine reported that the Waldeck-Frankenberg district was making €2.8 m available for the reopening of the section from Herzhausen to Korbach. In December 2011, the NVV announced that it would consider reactivating

On 25 September 2008, the Landtag of Hesse decided, on the basis of an initiative by the Greens , to reactivate the Frankenberg–Korbach railway, which had not yet been dismantled, for regular rail traffic. A continuous connection from Marburg via Korbach to Brilon was to be created. Regular traffic between Frankenberg and Herzhausen would have been restored from

On the occasion of this event, the Marburg–Frankenberg–Herzhausen line was operated by special trains with different haulage. In 2009, there had already been three special services, namely to the dragon boat race on the Edersee (23 and 24 May), steam train services for

For many years it was an important railway junction, where
3300-415: The section for passenger and freight traffic. Positive economic returns and a viable concept for financing operations would be necessary before a decision was taken to restart operations. The result of the cost–benefit analysis confirmed that the project would have a value above 1, which is positive. The NVV decided to reactivate it at the beginning of July 2012. This was also endorsed by Deutsche Bahn and
3366-533: The state of Hesse . After the district council of Waldeck-Frankenberg also voted for its reactivation on 17 September 2011 and agreed to contribute more than €3 million to the costs, the resumption of traffic was finally agreed. Construction work to reactivate the line began in Vöhl-Herzhausen on 30 June 2014. For this purpose, the line between Frankenberg and Korbach was modernised from 2014 to 2015 and new platforms were built. Schreufa and Itter stations were not reactivated because they are distant from

#17328588010113432-540: The summer of 2009. A continuous connection to Korbach was envisaged in the long term. However, this decision was initially not implemented by the state government that followed in 2009, which consisted of the CDU and the FDP . Excursion services were operated again from May to October 2011, April to October 2012 and April to October 2013. Five pairs of trains ran between Marburg and Herzhausen every two hours on Sundays and public holidays. The section between Herzhausen and Korbach Süd remained closed to all traffic because of
3498-410: The towns. In addition, all platforms were raised to 55 centimetres and extended to a uniform length of 95 metres. Tactile paving and modern shelters were installed. The line has been upgraded for safe operations for 20 years. The Kurhessenbahn stated, however, that the Burgwald Railway would only have a secure future if the Lower Eder Valley Railway to Korbach was reactivated. The renovation of

Since then the R 42 trains that run from Marburg have connected to Brilon Stadt. The 26.139 kilometre-long Edersee Railway rail trail ( Ederseebahn-Radweg ) on the Korbach–Buhlen section of the disused Edersee Railway was established from 2008 to 2012. This includes tunnels and bridges. Wabern, Hesse Wabern
3630-451: The trains ran only on the route between Wabern and Bad Wildungen, with a short wait between for a connection to Kassel in Wabern. The Waldeck-Frankenberg district and the town of Bad Wildungen support the new direct services with an annual operating subsidy. A basic two-hour cycle operates on the section between Korbach and Brilon Wald. This is increased by additional trains in the morning and afternoon. Due to Willingen's touristic importance,
3696-606: The well-developed B 252 runs parallel and the region is only sparsely populated, passenger transport became less and less profitable. Therefore, Deutsche Bundesbahn failed to invest in infrastructure and rolling stock and reduced services from time to time. In the years before the closure, for example, the first passenger train from Frankenberg to Korbach did not run until 10 AM, making the service useless for schoolchildren and commuters. The staff-intensive signalling and safety technology led to high operating costs. Therefore, passenger operations were discontinued on 3 May 1987. There

Passenger services were first restored on the 1.5 kilometre-long section from Korbach Hauptbahnhof to Korbach Süd on 9 September 1999. In 2005, the Frankenberg–Herzhausen section was cleared for reactivation. In 2007, however,
4158-409: Was still freight traffic between Frankenberg and Ederbringhausen until 1 June 1991. The rest of the line was only occasionally used by freight trains. There were also some excursion trips on the section, but these were discontinued in 1991. Nevertheless, there were excursion trips on the whole section for the 1997 Hessentag (Hessian Day), which was held in Korbach. After the Korbach–Volkmarsen section
