Geschichte

Chur Stadt is a small railway station on the Chur-Arosa line of the Rhaetian Railway . It is situated near the old town of Chur, on Plessurquai by the Plessur river, less than a kilometre from the main railway station of the city.The halt is closer to the shops, bars and attractions of the old town than the main station. A number of local and Postauto bus services converge at Malteser, located nearby where Grabenstrasse and Engadinstrasse converge. A footbridge connects the halt with Lindenquai, on the other side of the river.StadtbahnThe Chur stadtbahn is the part of the RhB line from Chur to Arosa which passes through the centre of the city of Chur, with on-street running. The line starts on Bahnhofplatz, in front of the main railway station, where that station's platforms for the Arosa line are. The line runs along Engadinstrasse from the Bahnhofplatz to the old town, where it then runs briefly along Grabenstrasse and then alongside the Plessur river on Plessurquai . After the Chur Stadt station the line continues to run on the road alongside the river, heading up into the suburb of Sand and along Sandstrasse, which is the location of a compact permanent way depot at 1.42 km from the beginning of the line. Shortly after Sand, at Sassal the line diverges from the road, which crosses the Plessau, and begins its mountainous assent via the Sassal tunnels.
