On November 24, 1879, the Frankfurt - Goddelau branch of the old Riedbahn was put into operation by the Hessian Ludwigsbahn . This is the northern section of today's Riedbahn . Walldorf received a train station on this route . The station was put into operation under the name Walldorf and renamed Walldorf (Hesse) in 1904 . Today the name Walldorf (Hess.) Is used.
On August 29, 2001, the Walldorf fountain was inaugurated on the station forecourt . In this so-called “narrative fountain” made of bronze , the past and present should be reflected.
In 2002, the previous regional trains between Frankfurt and Goddelau - Erfelden (today: Riedstadt-Goddelau ) were integrated into the network of the Rhine-Main S-Bahn as the new S7 line .

Rail transport
The Riedbahn from Frankfurt to Mannheim has been expanded for high-speed traffic up to 200 km / h. Long-distance trains travel through the station at a correspondingly high speed.
It has been served by the S-Bahn line S7 of the S-Bahn Rhein-Main since 2002 . Since the 2004/2005 timetable change in December 2004, the S7 has been running to the station every half hour (28/32 minutes). After Frankfurt (Main) main station and the journey takes about 15 minutes.
In addition to the S-Bahn, there is also an hourly regional express (RE 70) between Frankfurt and Mannheim. Until the 2017/2018 timetable change in December 2017, however, this train only stopped every two hours in Walldorf and neighboring Mörfelden.
