Munich-Pasing station

In 1847, a brick station building designed by Friedrich Bürklein was built on the southern side of the railway tracks in Pasing.

When the construction of another line from Munich west to Buchloe began a short time later in 1873, the station had to be expanded to six tracks with 25 houses for railway workers due to the strong growth of the town.

The station was renamed München-Pasing on 1 October 1938 after the Nazi regime had forced the annexation of Pasing by Munich.

The idea that was developed at this time of building an S-Bahn system in Munich was not implemented until nearly 30 years after the war.

Furthermore, from 1954 to 1957, the former six signal boxes at Pasing station were replaced by a relay interlocking built by Siemens & Halske.

Most of the regional and long-distance trains, including several ICE and IC services operated by Deutsche Bahn towards Augsburg, Buchloe and Tutzing and Alex services to Lindau and Oberstdorf, stop in Pasing and are timed to stop at about 0 and 30 minutes past each hour in order to create connections.

South of the railway tracks is the station building of 1873, which is still used today and contains administrative offices of Deutsche Bahn, a travel centre, a ServicePoint and a fast food restaurant.

To its north it is adjoined by a flat, hall-like building, the so-called Würmtaldächer; its ceiling is supported by cast-iron bars of the original platform hall and houses the ticket office, the newsagent and other catering establishments.

After passing under tracks without platforms, the tunnel connects on the north side of the station with a small staircase to August-Exter-Straße, where there is a taxi rank and bus stops and the Pasinger Fabrik cultural centre is adjacent.

Between the station and the western underpass, the rail tracks cross the Pasing–Nymphenburg canal and the Würm river, which has a pedestrian and bicycle path (Hermann-HesseWeg) running along its landscaped shore.

On the southern and northern end of the underpass and on the stairways to the platforms there are also screens that can display the destination and departure times for up to seven trains and information about service disruptions.

In Pasing numerous Regional-Express and Regionalbahn services regularly offer connections to Mittenwald, Innsbruck, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Weilheim, Memmingen, Kempten, Oberstdorf, Lindau and Augsburg.

Also some trains, especially in the peak hours, stop at the end points of the S-Bahn lines and at selected other busy commuter stations (Fürstenfeldbruck/S4 and Starnberg/S6) and give rapid connections to the city of Munich.

During peak hour lines S 3 and S 8 operate every 10 minutes and lines S 4 and S 6 operate every 20 minutes, producing 18 services an hour to the city centre, and there are also some regional services that can also be used with the tickets of the Münchner Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund (Munich Transport and Tariff Association) to the Hauptbahnhof.

On weekends this runs every half-hour and is complemented by two night bus routes to Neuaubing (N47) and Aubing Gröbenzell, Puchheim and Germering (N80/N81).

An extension of the Munich U-Bahn from Laimer Platz to Pasing station has been considered, but is unlikely to be carried out for some years.
