On October 12, 1853, the railway
line of the Ludwig South-North
Railway was opened from
Oberstaufen to Lindau. The
railway should link the
Bodensee cruises with the
railroad. On 2 December 1854
the station building of the
Lindauer city train station, as the
main railway station was
designated in the '30s,
completed. The station had a "prince's room". After
the opening of the port in 1856 and the ferry traffic
to Romanshorn (Switzerland) and as of 1853 to
Constance. 1860 Post Pavilion has been expanded to
twice. As the route from Bregenz to Lindau was
opened on 24 October 1872 had 1874 customs
buildings are built.
1913 began with the building a new station building. This dragged on due to the war towards
opening up on 2 October 1921st. In the new "border station" could be purchased billets for
Bayrische- and Austrian railways in separate ticket offices . In addition to the money exchange
and luggage counters and customs clearance for the respective railway companies were
present. There were also rooms for the police detention cells and inspection cubicles for
entering the country. The Austrian railway staff had its own official premises.
Since 1954, the tracks in Lindau are electrified only by the Austrian side. Conversions and
demolitions altered the image of the station, its importance will decline increasingly,
especially as the terminus for a fast train service is unsuitable.
The reception building is a historical monument.
The railroad "came" on October 12,
1853 to Lindau. So 18 years after the
opening of the first railway line from
Nuremberg to Fürth in 1835. Lindau at
that time had little inhabitants (end of
2013 there were 24,560 inhabitants).
