Mindelheim station
railway station in Mindelheim, Germany
Mindelheim station is the station of the district town of Mindelheim in the German state of Bavaria and lies about one km south of the original town.
History
In 2007/08, the station was renovated at a cost of €8 million. The four former tracks were reduced to three due to lack of space. A pedestrian underpass was built from Bahnhofstraße to Allgäuer Straße and an underpass for cars was built one km to the southwest; the level crossing on the old route of federal highway 16 was removed.
The Buchloe–Memmingen railway has been electrified since December 2020.
Description
The station is located on the Buchloe–Memmingen railway and is the terminus of the Günzburg–Mindelheim railway, which runs via Krumbach to Günzburg.
The station has three platform tracks. Platform 1 is next to the station building and platforms 2 and 4 can be reached via an underpass. Platform 1 is used by trains to Gunzburg and Memmingen, while platform 2 is kept free for non-stopping services. When this is not necessary, services to Memmingen and Lindau stop on platform 2.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Mindelheim station” as railway station in Mindelheim, Germany. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as railway station in Mindelheim, Germany. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q801190. The first chronological checks are 2007 and 2020.
Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
