History

The 6.11 kilometers long stretch from Unterboihingen (today Wendlingen) via Ötlingen to Kirchheim (Teck) was finished on September 21, 1864. It was the first private railway taken into operationin Württemberg. It was operated by the Kirchheimer Eisenbahn Gesellschaft. Effective January 1, 1899, the Royal Württemberg State Railways took over the rail network and extended it on October 1 of the same year to Oberlenningen (nowadays district of Lenningen). On September 15, 1908, the Royal Württemberg State Railways opened the branch line from Kirchheim (Teck) South to Weilheim (Teck)[4] On September 26, 1975, the new station was opened in an area located more south in Kirchheim. The old station was demolished and a shopping center (Teckcenter) was built on the former site. On September 25, 1982, the mode of transportation from Kirchheim to Weilheim (Teck) was changed from train to bus. The freight transport service on the section Holzmaden-Weilheim was stopped around 1985. On August 1, 1995, the remaining section Kirchheim-Holzmaden was closed. On December 12, 2009, the S 1 of the Stuttgart S-Bahn stopped in Kirchheim for the first time. Kirchheim is nowadays connected to the rail network by the Teckbahn, leading from Wendlingen to Oberlenningen. This line is integrated in the network of the Stuttgart-S-Bahn till Kirchheim. On the section Kirchheim-Oberlenningen regional trains of the R81 line are in operation.
