Summary edit

Description
English: This bridge rail was the first type of rail used in Baden, Germany.

It caused a sensation in 2006 when (after more than 150 years) 5 pieces of the “Badische Urschiene” (Baden prototype rail) were rediscovered, being in use as crash barrier in the village Sasbach / Kaiserstuhl. Probably manufactured in England, the “Badische Urschiene” was used in the first Baden railroad track Mannheim – Heidelberg – Karlsruhe – Offenburg in 1842 - 45. They were mounted on stringers of pinewood. In a distance of 1,5 m these stringers were connected by crossbars of oak (visible in the upper right corner). As the rails and the whole substruction were not suited for larger locomotives and wagons, they were soon (by 1854) replaced by more modern rails together with the change from 1600 mm broad gauge to standard gauge.

Exhibited in the Landesmuseum für Technik und Arbeit, Mannheim, Germany


Deutsch: Diese Brückenschiene war der erste Schientyp, der in Baden benutzt wurde.

Es war eine Sensation als 2006 (nach mehr als 150 Jahren) 5 Schienenstücke der „Badischen Urschiene“ wiederentdeckt wurden, die in Sasbach am Kaiserstuhl als Leitplanken in Benutzung waren. Wahrscheinlich in England hergestellt, wurde die „Badische Urschiene“ beim Bau der ersten badischen Eisenbahnstrecke Mannheim – Heidelberg – Karlsruhe – Offenburg zwischen 1842 und 1845 verwendet. Sie wurden auf Längsbalken von Kiefernholz montiert, die im Abstand von 1,5 m durch Querbalken aus Eichenholz (sichtbar in der rechten oberen Ecke) verbunden waren. Die Schienen und ihr Unterbau waren für schwerere Lokotiven und Wagen nicht geeignet, so dass sie schon bald (bis 1854) gegen modernere Schienen ausgetauscht wurden, zusammen mit der Umstellung von 1600 mm Breitspur auf Normalspur.

Ausgestellt im Landesmuseum für Technik und Arbeit, Mannheim.
