history

The Waidbruck station was put into operation in 1867 together with the entire section of the Brenner Railway between Innsbruck and Bolzano. The reception building soon proved to be too small and was enlarged in the 19th century. In the early 20th century, minor structural additions were made.

In the years 2014–2015, the State of South Tyrol financed extensive renovation and modernization measures. The facade, roof, window sash and waiting room of the reception building were renewed, and among other things, elevators were installed, P + R spaces created and retaining walls erected. In 2014, the extension of the station name goes back to the previous from the train station Waidbruck the Waidbruck-Lajen station was.
