Freilassing station

The station is located north of the town centre. The station area is bounded to the north by Rupertusstraße and to the south by Bahnhofstrasse (station street). To the west there is a footbridge linking Bahnhofstrasse and Rupertusstraße. The station building is located south of the railway facilities and has the address of Bahnhofstrasse 4

Freilassing station was opened in 1860 together with the railway line from Munich to Salzburg. It then served as a border station between Austria and Bavaria. In 1866, Freilassing was connected to another line (Freilassing–Bad Reichenhall) and in 1888 it was extended to Berchtesgaden. A branch line (Lokalbahn) was opened to Laufen in 1890 and it was extended to Tittmoning in 1894. In 1916, electrification was completed on the Freilassing-Berchtesgaden line.

With the entry of Austria in the European Union in 1995, the station lost its importance as a border station.

The station has seven through tracks on four platforms, with track 1 as the “home” platform (Hausbahnsteig), that is next to the station building. Each platform is covered and has digital platform displays. All platforms are connected by a pedestrian tunnel to the home platform. It has only partial step-free access to the platform. The station building has among other things a ticket office. Park and ride parking and bike racks are available in the station area.

The station has been located in the area administered by the Salzburg Transport Association (Salzburger Verkehrsverbund) since 2006 and is served by the Salzburg S-Bahn network. The municipal bus company (Freilassinger StadtBus) operates bus routes 81 and 82 through the Freilassing urban area, connecting with the station. In addition to the local services, Freilassing station is connected by bus route 24 via the stops of Salzburger Platz and Rupertikirche/Rathaus to the public bus network of the city of Salzburg.
