history

In the course of the opening of the Alsenz Valley Railway section from Hochspeyer to Winnweiler on October 29, 1870, Winnweiler was connected to the railway network. For about half a year, Winnweiler was the end of this railway line. On May 16, 1871, the line to Bad Münster am Stein was tied through and thus completed. Since then, Winnweiler station has been a through station on this route.

At the beginning of the 20th century, like all other stations in the Palatinate, the station received platform closures . During this time, the station was administered by the Kaiserslautern II Operations and Building Inspectorate and was part of the Rockenhausen Railway Maintenance Department.

In 1922, the station was assigned to the newly established Ludwigshafen Reich Railway Directorate . A year later employed at the station railway workers were the carried out in the course of France, to 1924 permanent director operation reported. Then they returned. In the course of the gradual dissolution of the Reichsbahndirektion Ludwigshafen, the station changed to the area of ​​responsibility of the Mainz management and the operations office (RBA) Bad Kreuznach on April 1, 1937.

After the Second World War, the newly founded Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) incorporated the station into the Mainz Federal Railway Directorate , to which it allocated all railway lines within the newly created federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate . As early as 1971, in the course of the dissolution of the Mainz directorate, it came under the jurisdiction of the Reichsbahndirektion Saarbrücken. In 2000 the station, like the entire West Palatinate, first became part of the West Palatinate Transport Association (WVV), before it was merged with the Rhein-Neckar Transport Association (VRN) six years later . Since the neighboring Langmeil (Palatinate) train station was reduced to a purely operating station, Winnweiler is the only train station within the municipality of the same name that has passenger traffic.

At the beginning of March 2008, the barrier-free renovation of the Winnweiler station began. For a total cost of 1,025,000 euros , the main platform on track 1 was extended and the central platform on tracks 2 and 3 was replaced by a side platform on track 2. Since then, Winnweiler station has only two platform tracks instead of the previous three. In July 2008 the conversion, which was originally supposed to cost only 873,000 euros, was completed. The official inauguration of the new station took place on September 10, 2008.

The station area is spanned by a bridge on which Kreisstraße 4 runs. It has a push-button interlocking without automatic turnout from Siemens with the designation "Wf". It used to be called "Wnf".
