history
On November 16, 1873, the Royal Bavarian State Railway opened the Immenstadt – Sonthofen line as a connection to the Bavarian Allgäu Railway . The municipality of Oberstdorf then tried to get a rail connection. Since the Royal Bavarian State Railroad was not interested, the private local railway company applied for a concession to extend the railway line from Immenstadt to Sonthofen to Oberstdorf. The line was finally opened on July 29, 1888. When it opened, the station received a reception building, which was built in the style of the local railway company, and a depot, which was used to maintain the LAG vehicles on the route. On August 1, 1938, the station was nationalized with the Sonthofen – Oberstdorf railway line. The depot existed until March 23, 1951 as an independent plant, since March 23, 1951 it has been a branch of the Kempten depot. The Oberstdorf branch was closed on January 1, 1964.
The station building was destroyed in World War II, so a new station building was built in 1963. The new building received a covered open terrace with a panoramic view of the Alps and infrared heating under the ceiling. There were several shops and a self-service restaurant for the high tourist volume . Since 1976, operations at Oberstdorf train station have been controlled by the Oberstdorf dispatcher signal box, which was put into operation in 1976. It is a Lorenz track plan signal box of the type SpDrL60 . In 2001 the station building built in 1963 was replaced by a new building. In 2006 Allianz pro Schiene named the station of the year for small towns. Above all, the newly built reception building and the traffic concept of the Oberstdorf market were decisive.
