The Wallstadt train station was opened on May 1, 1909, when the Heddesheim route went into operation. The station has also been electrified since 1946. In December 2012, an intermediate turning loop was put into operation east of the flyover over the A6 .

Reception building

The reception building of the station still stands today and is privately owned. His address is Am Wallstadter Bahnhof 7 . Next to the main building there is still an outbuilding which used to be a kiosk where you could buy tickets.

Track systems

Mannheim-Wallstadt train station has two through tracks, each with an outside platform . The trains in the direction of Heddesheim stop on platform 1 on the house platform , and the trains in the direction of Mannheim on platform 2. As part of the integration of the route into the Mannheim tram, the two platforms were completely modernized and have since provided barrier-free access to the tram units .
