    Planning phase

    As early as 1847, Carl Ganahl, an entrepreneur who later became the most important representative of railroad construction in Vorarlberg, recognized the importance of a railroad line through Vorarlberg. At first, however, many problems stood in the way of this idea, the greatest of which were, of course, given. A mountain railroad, such as was needed to cross the Arlberg, had not yet been built in Austria, and a line without a connection to the Tyrolean regions seemed useless. Moreover, Vorarlberg was not an independent crown land of Austria-Hungary and thus had no representatives in Vienna.

    In 1854, traffic was opened on the Bavarian Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn to Lindau and in 1857 on the Swiss lines from Rorschach to Rheineck and from Rheineck to Chur. On the Austrian side, Innsbruck was connected to the railroad network via Kufstein and Wörgl in 1859. As early as 1856, the now president of the newly founded Vorarlberg Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Carl Ganahl, submitted a request for approval of preliminary work. Only two years later, he had a first detailed project drawn up, which he paid for out of his own pocket. In the same year, he submitted a definitive application for a concession to the Imperial and Royal Ministry of Commerce. Ministry of Commerce. There, the application was postponed for the time being, as first consultations had to be held with the riparian states. These could only be concluded in 1865 with the signing of a state treaty.

    Prior to this, the Ministry of Commerce had presented a railroad construction program in 1864, which for the first time also envisaged the construction of a line from Innsbruck to Dornbirn. In March 1867, a first concept was presented by the Vorarlberg side, which also provided for the construction of a tunnel between St. Anton and Langen. The Imperial Council dealt with the request as early as 1867, but the decision to build was not taken until May 1, 1869. However, the state treaty of 1865 did not come into effect, which is why a new state treaty on the construction was concluded on August 27, 1870.

    Reconstruction of Lindau junction

    The Lindau-Reutin station, which was upgraded to become the new Lindau long-distance station, went into operation at the timetable change in December 2020. Trains on the Zurich-Munich route via St. Gallen-Bregenz-Lindau and Memmingen have been stopping there since then and are routed past Lindau-Insel station (the previous main station) via the Aeschacher Kurve. As part of this extensive work, several level crossings in the Lindau urban area were rebuilt, replaced by underpasses or overpasses or eliminated without replacement, the overhead line was renewed and previously non-electrified tracks were retrofitted, as well as the Lake Constance embankment was rehabilitated. Furthermore, Deutsche Bahn built a separation point at kilometer 201.2 of the Munich-Memmingen-Lindau line in order to be able to separate the German traction current network - which has extended to Lindau since 2020 - from the Austrian network.

    Traffic

    In long-distance traffic, the route is served by RJX, RJ, EC, IC, NJ and EN trains, in local traffic by REX trains and the S1 line of the Vorarlberg S-Bahn. The tariff of the Vorarlberg Transport Association (VVV) and the ÖBB tariff apply on the entire route; the border tariff point to Germany is the Lindau-Reutin station. As a special feature, the Austrian Federal Railways are also responsible for timetable planning on the German section.[34] In order to coordinate international connections, Germany, Austria and Switzerland have agreed that Bregenz will be set as a clock node on the hour.[35] The German section of the line is also a border point with Germany.

    In the 2010s, in view of many disco car accidents, the "Nachtschwärmerzüge"[36], trains running continuously every hour between Bregenz and Bludenz on nights before Saturdays / Sundays / public holidays, were introduced to offer young people an alternative to the car.
