History

The station was opened in 1861. The railway line was actually supposed to lead via Nöttingen, but its residents resisted the connection to the railway.

Deutsche Bahn sees no possibility of building an elevator here.

Station terrain

The Remchingen train station has a house platform on track 1 and a central platform on tracks 2 and 3. Three other tracks are used as overtaking and stowing tracks. The reception building is now used by restaurants and a model building association. There is a bus station, several hundred parking spaces and a taxi stand on the station forecourt. The station also has two-sided bicycle parking facilities, which are connected to one another via an underpass, as well as lockers.
