Seehas is a regional rail service that operates as S6 service between Engen and Konstanz in the district of Konstanz, in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is managed and operated by SBB GmbH, the German subsidiary of Swiss Federal Railways. It began operation in 1994.
History
Service began on 23 May 1994, with the extension of existing services from {{rws|Kreuzlingen}} (in Switzerland) to Engen. These were operated by Mittelthurgaubahn, a Swiss company.{{Cite news |date=9 October 2020 |title=Seehas-Jubiläum mit Zugtaufe in Singen |language=de-DE |work={{ill|Singener Wochenblatt|de}} |url=https://www.wochenblatt.net/heute/nachrichten/article/seehas-jubilaeum-mit-zugtaufe-in-singen/ |access-date=27 February 2021}} On Mittelthurgaubahn's bankruptcy in 2003–2004, operation passed to {{ill|EuroTHURBO|de}}, the German subsidiary of THURBO. EuroTHURBO itself merged into SBB GmbH in 2005. In 2006, SBB introduced Stadler FLIRT trains on the route and increased the service frequency to every 30 minutes.{{Cite web |title=2.500 Tage SBB Deutschland GmbH |url=http://p240571.webspaceconfig.de/fileadmin/media/Medien/Printmedien/PDF-Downloads/SBB-Imagebroschuere_2010-03-11_web.pdf | publisher=SBB GmbH | lang=de |access-date=27 February 2021}} It operates as part of the Bodensee S-Bahn.{{cite web |url=https://s-bahn-bodensee.com/de/# |title=S-Bahn Bodensee |accessdate=2024-05-09 |lang=de}}
Name
Seehas (Alemannic) literally means "lake hare" in English. The line got its name as a result of a public competition and the subsequent decision by a jury.{{cite web |title=25 Jahre Nahverkehr – der Seehas will sein Angebot weiter verbessern |url=https://www.suedkurier.de/region/kreis-konstanz/singen/25-Jahre-Nahverkehr-der-Seehas-will-sein-Angebot-weiter-verbessern;art372458,10313922 |date=2019-10-15 |access-date=2024-06-09}} The name derives from the work Ein Volksbüchlein by Ludwig Aurbacher, written in 1827, in which the Seven Swabians fight a hare. The Seehas is also a traditional mythical animal of the Lake Constance region, which is often depicted as a hybrid of a fish and a hare, for example on Kaiserbrunnen on the market place in Konstanz. In Friedrichshafen there is also the annual festival called {{lang|de|Seehasenfest}}.
The Seehas also lends its name to the Seehäsle ({{lit|little lake hare}}), a named train that operates as S61 between {{stn|Radolfzell}} and {{stn|Stockach}}. Similarly, the Rhyhas ({{lit|Rhine hare}}), the S62 service of Schaffhausen S-Bahn, is named in reference to the Seehas.
Operation
The service uses the Black Forest Railway from Engen to Singen (Hohentwiel), and then the High Rhine Railway to Konstanz. The length of the route is {{convert|44|km|mi}}, and an average journey requires 50 minutes.{{Cite web |date=2019 |title=SBB GmbH – Unterwegs mit dem seehas |url=https://www.sbb-deutschland.de/wp-content/uploads/SBB_Basisinfo_Seehas_2019_3.pdf |access-date=27 February 2021 | publisher=SBB GmbH | lang=de}}{{cite web |title=Fahrplan-Netzkarte 2024 [Railway network and services near Lake Constance 2024] |lang=de |url=https://www.thurbo.ch/fileadmin/user_upload/PDF/2024_Liniennetzplan_Zuerich_Ostschweiz_Bodensee.pdf |date=2023-12-10 |access-date=2023-12-18 |publisher=THURBO}} The service is summarized as follows:
