History

The 6.11 kilometers long stretch from Unterboihingen (today Wendlingen) via Ötlingen to Kirchheim (Teck) was finished on 21 September 1864. It was the first private railway taken into operationin Württemberg. It was operated by the Kirchheimer Eisenbahn Gesellschaft. On 1 January 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 15 September 1908 the Royal Württemberg State Railways opened the branch line from Kirchheim (Teck) South to Weilheim (Teck)[4][self-published source?] On 26 September 1975 the new station was opened further south in Kirchheim. The old station was demolished and a shopping center (Teckcenter) was built on the former site. On 25 September 1982 the mode of transport from Kirchheim to Weilheim (Teck) was changed from train to bus. The freight transport service on the Holzmaden-Weilheim section was stopped around 1985. On 1 August 1995 the remaining Kirchheim-Holzmaden section was closed. On 12 December 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 Kirchheim-Oberlenningen section regional trains of line R81 are in operation.
