The KiĂleggâHergatz railway is an 18.589 km long standard gauge main line that runs through the Allgäu in the German states of Baden-WĂźrttemberg and Bavaria. It forms part of the MunichâLindau upgraded line, which was completed in 2020.
It runs from KiĂlegg via Wangen to Hergatz and connects the HerbertingenâIsny railway (also known as the WĂźrttembergische AllgäubahnâWĂźrttemberg Allgäu Railway) with the BuchloeâLindau railway (also known as the Bayerische AllgäubahnâBavarian Allgäu Railway). It has been electrified since 2020 [3] and is single-track throughout. It is operated by Deutsche Bahn and is listed in its timetable as part of route number 753 from Aulendorf to Hergatz, which is alternatively called the WĂźrttemberg-Allgäu-Bahn (Allgäu-WĂźrttemberg Railway) and part of route number 971 from Augsburg to Lindau. The KiĂleggâWangen section is integrated in the network of the Bodensee-Oberschwaben Verkehrsverbund ( Lake Constance- Upper Swabia Transport Association, bodo).
Although Hergatz was connected to the Bavarian rail network in 1853 and KiĂlegg was connected to the WĂźrttemberg network in 1870, Wangen lacked any connection. In 1876, it was decided to build the 13.3 kilometre line to KiĂlegg, which was opened on 31 July 1880. In 1887, a treaty was contracted between WĂźrttemberg and Bavaria for the construction of the 5.3 km line between Wangen and Hergatz along with a line from Leutkirch to Memmingen. The WangenâHergatz section went into operation on 15 July 1890. Since its completion the new link has provided a shorter route from Munich to Lindau than the BuchloeâKemptenâLindau railway.
Electrical operations began at the 2020/21 timetable change. [4]
In 2020, three pairs of Eurocity services hauled by class 218 locomotives ran from Munich to Zurich (some to/from Basel) via Memmingen and Lindau without stopping.
Since 13 December 2020, all EC services between Munich and Zurich, six pairs of trains per day each way, have been operated by SBB electric multiple units. [3]
The line is served by two services operated by Go-Ahead Bayern, the RE 96 ( Munichâ Buchloeâ MemmingenâKiĂleggâWangenâ Hergatzâ Lindau-Inselâ Lindau-Reutin and the RB 92 (MemmingenâKiĂleggâWangenâHergatzâLindau-Insel). Both services run every two hours, together providing an hourly service to all stations.
During the day, the RB 53 service runs every two hours, conveying local traffic on the AulendorfâKiĂleggâWangen route, operated with Stadler Regio-Shuttle RS1 (class 650) railcars (previously class 628 railcars).
