History

The station was opened by the Royal Württemberg State Railways on 11 October 1847 along with the Fils Valley Railway from Plochingen to Süßen.

On 21 April 2004, an inspection train running from Ulm to Ludwigshafen collided with a train of empty regional railcars. The driver of the railcars was killed and the six members of the inspection train were injured.

From August 2010 to June 2012, the station was renovated and made accessible for the disabled with the provision of two lifts and a control system. The underpass was redesigned and new lighting and a dynamic passenger information system were installed. The total cost was €2.6 million, paid for by the federal, state and municipal governments.[4]

In addition, there are still some freight tracks, but these are only occasionally used for parking wagons.
