Historical Railway Path Kempten – Station 3: Old Kempten Terminal Station

Here is the third station of the circular railway trail "Eisenbahnpfad" to various historical stations on the subject of railways in Kempten. With information board about the old train station and exciting maps from different times. You can also learn a lot about the history of Kempten from the age of the railway (from 1840).

In 1969 the old Kempten terminal station was replaced by today's main station. Until 1969, Kempten had a terminus, which led to cumbersome transfer manoeuvres. Almost nothing can be seen of him today. The “Forum Allgäu” now stands in its place. Only a few buildings in the area remind us of him: the former post office, the train station hotel and the train station pharmacy. Another souvenir is this driving axle at the former station exit.
