The next step towards barrier-free expansion of the S-Bahn station in Ebenhausen has been taken.
Deutsche Bahn has submitted an application to the Federal Railway Authority.
Ebenhausen
- The first step has been taken: "The community has been informed that Deutsche Bahn InfraGO AG, Southern Regional Area, has submitted an application to the Federal Railway Authority for planning approval for the barrier-free expansion of the Ebenhausen train station." Mayor Christian Fürst was able to do this at the last meeting of the local council.
The community, as well as clubs and individuals, have been fighting for barrier-free expansion of the stop for decades.
Even the then Federal Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt visited Ebenhausen train station in July 2016 at the invitation of Putzbrunner CSU Bundestag member Florian Hahn.
The many steps are impossible for many people to overcome
Here he got a picture of the unpleasant situation - also against the background that there is a retirement and nursing home in Ebenhausen: The platform can only be reached via 51 steps - an absurdity for people with limited mobility, seniors with walkers or mothers with strollers.
The stop was included in a federal funding program in 2020.
“According to DB Station and Service, it should now be made barrier-free by the end of 2026,” Fürst reported at the time.
The plans for this have now been completed and presented to the local council.
The plan is to expand the central platform with appropriate platform equipment and renew the access route with passenger elevators on the central platform and at the south entrance.
“Existing drainage facilities will be dismantled and replaced by the construction of new rainwater pipes in Rigolen.
Track pivoting required
In this context, a pivoting of track 2 will also be necessary,” can be read on the website of the Federal Railway Authority (www.eba.bund.de).
And: “The plan (drawings and explanations) with the documents relevant to the decision will only be available in electronic form for general inspection on the website of the Federal Railway Authority at www.eba.bund.de/anhoerung Monday, up to and including Monday, April 8th made."
If public concerns are affected by the proposed project, affected citizens can submit their objections by Monday, April 22nd.
The community also has the opportunity to comment.
“As planned, construction will begin in spring 2026,” said Fürst.
To ensure that rail traffic is disrupted as little as possible, a temporary platform will be built during the construction phase.
