The train station of Walferdingen is located immediately north of the urban area of the state capital Luxembourg in the Alzette valley ; the localities of Walferdingen and Helmsingen belonging to the municipality of Walferdingen are on the right of the river, Bereldingen on the left.
The station was put into operation on July 21, 1862 - in the course of the opening of the Luxembourg - Ettelbrück section of the Wilhelm-Luxemburg-Eisenbahn - by the Compagnie des chemins de fer de l'Est (operator of the line).
