Location and history: The Stuttgart-Untertürkheim-Kornwestheim railway line (also known locally as the Schusterbahn) is an 11.495 kilometer long freight bypass line. The double-track electrified main line connects Stuttgart-Untertürkheim with Kornwestheim and serves as a bypass line primarily for freight traffic to bypass Stuttgart main station. In the course book she has the number 790.11.
The name "Schusterbahn" came about through the Salamander works in Kornwestheim. The passenger trains drove mainly for their and employees of the railway between Untertürkheim and Kornwestheim, both places of residence for many railway workers, and in earlier times stopped in Kornwestheim not in the passenger station, but in the old marshalling yard to the east, the remains of which were only added to the passenger station after its independence.
The line was opened on September 30, 1896 with the inauguration of the train station in Stuttgart-Münster, in order to bypass the Stuttgart main train station. Previously, all freight trains had to turn around in the Stuttgart central station, as the previous building of the main station was just like this a terminal station.
When it opened on October 1, 1896, the line was single-track, with the substructure and engineering structures already being prepared for a second track. Due to increasing traffic volumes, the government brought in on January 23, 1902 the demand to provide one million marks for the construction of the second track. In the winter of 1901/1902 around 50 freight and five passenger trains ran every day. With various laws from the years 1902, 1903 and 1905 a total of 1.8 million marks were approved for the project. On September 23, 1904, the second track was put into operation. In 1933 the line was also electrified and integrated into the Stuttgart suburb traffic.

The so-called Schusterbahn runs between Untertürkheim and Kornwestheim. Schusterbahn therefore Kornwestheim
= salamander works

There are 3 connections in both directions in the morning and in the evening. Otherwise the route is used almost exclusively by freight trains.
