history
Old narrow-gauge station
When the narrow-gauge Alb Valley Railway was built between Karlsruhe and Herrenalb, the terminus of the local railway was built on the northwestern outskirts of Herrenalb . The opening took place on July 2, 1898; the station had four tracks. From the beginning it was designed as a terminus. A single-track engine shed with a tower was built south of the station . This was expanded to two tracks in 1910. In 1911 the meter-gauge Albtalbahn was electrified.
New standard gauge station
1961 took place Umspurung on standard gauge . The engine shed and a goods shed were demolished during the renovation. Since then, there has been a turning loop around the station building , which is driven through in a clockwise direction. At the same time took tram - Gelenkwagen operation.
The reception building from 1898 has been preserved and today houses a waiting room for travelers, a restaurant , a travel agency and a driving school . One of the goods sheds from 1898 is also still there.
