history
The Rhine Valley Railway , which runs past Kirchheim, was opened by the Baden State Railways on April 10, 1843 with the Heidelberg - Bruchsal - Karlsruhe section . However, initially no train station was planned in Kirchheim. Only on November 1, 1865, Kirchheim received its own train station. The current station building was built in 1914 and is a listed building.
First, the trains from Kirchheim entered the old Heidelberg main station , which was designed as a terminus , via a connecting curve . Urban development problems caused by the partial expansion of Heidelberg main station into a through station in 1862 and the lack of expansion options led to the decision at the beginning of the 20th century to relocate the main station a good kilometer to the west and build it as a through station. The line to the old main station was closed and a line to the new main station was built.
In 2003, as part of the integration of the Rheintalbahn to Karlsruhe into the network of the RheinNeckar S-Bahn, the platforms were upgraded to accommodate the disabled . In this context, the station was renamed Heidelberg-Kirchheim / Rohrbach . The opening of the S-Bahn took place at the regular timetable change 2003/2004 on December 14, 2003, in whose system the station has been integrated ever since.
