History
Opened 1862

Deisenhofen is a Munich S-Bahn railway station in Deisenhofen, a district of Oberhaching.

History

Deisenhofen station was opened in 1862 on the Munich–Holzkirchen section of the Bavarian Maximilian Railway. Since 10 October 1898 there has also been a connection to Munich East station, the Munich East–Deisenhofen railway. Since 1972, the station has been integrated in the network of the Munich S-Bahn.

In 2004 the station was made fully accessible. The platforms were raised and modernised and the station building was renovated. New park-and-ride and bicycle storage facilities were built near the station. The bus stop in the station forecourt was also modernised, with a new turning circle for buses built on the forecourt. The costs involved were met by Deutsche Bahn AG and the Oberhaching municipality.[3]

The station building, a three-story stucco building with subdivisions formed of rich bricks, which was built around 1875, is protected as a monument.[4] Deutsche Bahn offered the station building for sale in 2009, but it was not yet been sold. The Oberhaching municipality suggests that a cafe with toilets accessible by the public might be established in the station building. Private apartments would be created on the first and second floors.[5]

Infrastructure

Platforms

The station has four platform tracks around two central platforms. S-Bahn line S 3 services stops on track 1 towards Munich East, while services towards Holzkirchen stop on track 2. Track 3 is used by the trains on lines S 20 and S 27 coming from Solln and returning there, while track 4 is not used for schedules services any more. Both platforms are covered and have digital destination displays. The platforms are connected by a tunnel to the station forecourt and equipped with lifts to make them accessible for the disabled.[6]
