Neu-Ulm station is the largest railway station of the
The station was opened in 1853 and was rebuilt in 2007 as part of the Neu-Ulm 21 project in an open trough structure, which is covered to the northeast and southwest of the platforms.
It has four platform tracks and is served daily by about 120 trains operated by Deutsche Bahn and agilis. The station is served by local trains managed by the Donau-Iller-Nahverkehrsverbund (Danube-Iller Local Transport Association, DING).
Location
Neu-Ulm station is located southeast of the city centre of Neu-Ulm. Bahnhofstrasse (station street) runs to the northwest of the station and Meininger Allee runs to the southeast. To the southwest is the station building and the bus station, where Hermann Koehl-Straße also crosses the tracks. In the northeast is the station’s parking lot; north of it Reuttier Straße crosses the tracks. Both the bus station and the parking lot are built on the roof of the cut and cover tunnels that the rail tracks run through. The station’s address is Julius-Rohm-Platz 1.

From 1877 to 1944, a line of the Ulm tramway stopped at Neu-Ulm station. From 1931 to 1933, the Maximilian’s Railway from Ulm to Augsburg was electrified by Deutsche Reichsbahn and it was opened for electrical operations on 25 April 1933. The entire route from Stuttgart to Munich was open for electrical operations on 5 May 1933.
In the Second World War the first air raid took place on Neu-Ulm station on 16 March 1944. The freight handling facilities, signal box no. II and several other buildings in Neu-Ulm were destroyed in an air raid on 1 March 1945. The station building and the depot were also destroyed on 4 March. During the invasion of U.S. troops the railway bridge over the Danube between Ulm and Neu-Ulm was blown up on 24 April 1945. In May 1945, a temporary wooden bridge was built across the Danube, replacing the demolished railway bridge. Electric trains were resumed from Ulm to Neu-Ulm on 29 June.[9][10] After the war, the station building was reconstructed as a temporary stone shed. On 23 November 1957, a new station was opened, replacing the stone shed. The Kibri Company produced a toy kit of this station at HO scale.[11] The reconstruction of the platform canopies were completed in 1960. The ticket office closed in 2000.[4]

During the Neu-Ulm 21 project, the station tracks were rebuilt from scratch by 2007. The five platform track surface station together with the adjacent railway lines were lowered and the number of tracks was reduced to four. The sub-surface station was opened on 18 March 2007.
At the end of March 2007, the second track at Neu-Ulm Finninger Straße was put into service, largely removing delays caused by trains waiting to run to or from Memmingen. The old station building was demolished in April 2007. The project was completed in November 2007 and the new track layout was put into operation in December.

Platforms
Neu-Ulm station has four tracks next to two central platforms. Both platforms are covered and have digital destination displays. The platforms are connected to the surface by stairs and lifts and are thus accessible for the disabled. Tracks 1 and 2 are used by services on the Augsburg–Ulm railway, tracks 3 and 4 are used by trains on the Neu-Ulm–Kempten railway.

Depot
On 15 February 1871, Neu-Ulm’s own depot (Bahnbetriebswerk Neu-Ulm) was opened with two roundhouses, a waterworks and a workshop. The servicing of locomotives of the Bavarian Maximilian and Neu-Ulm–Kempten railways, which was previously carried at a depot at Ulm station, was then transferred to Neu-Ulm. The repair of carriages was carried out in a long rectangular hall. On 27 June 1902, a new 18 metre and 120-ton turntable was commissioned to allow larger steam engines to run. During World War II, the depot was severely damaged along with 16 steam locomotives on 4 March 1945, but after rebuilding it resumed its previous tasks. On 1 January 1961, the steam locomotives were transferred to Ulm depot and electric locomotives were transferred to Augsburg depot, after which the workshop was closed. On 1 September 1965, the depot was eventually closed and the installations were dismantled. A carriage hall and the administrative and social buildings were preserved and were demolished in 2000 for Neu-Ulm 21.[13]

Bus station
The central bus station (Neu-Ulm Zentrale Umsteigepunkt) is the main bus station in Neu-Ulm and has four platforms. It is served by bus routes 5 and 7 of Stadtwerke Ulm/Neu-Ulm (a company providing municipal services in Ulm and Neu-Ulm) and regional buses.
On 15 May 1897, the Ulm tramway opened line 2 to the Neu-Ulm station forecourt, linking the stations of Ulm and Neu-Ulm. In the Second World War, the route of tram line 2 was damaged in an air raid on 17 December 1944 and operations were stopped. As a replacement, the Ulm trolleybus was established with line 6 operating from 14 May 1947 from Eselsberg via Ulm Central Station and Neu-Ulm station to Ulm Zundeltor. On 23 October 1963 the trolleybus operations were discontinued and replaced by diesel buses.
As part of the Neu-Ulm 21 project, the central bus station was opened in 2007 and the old bus station on the station forecourt was closed.
