history
development
Weinheim received its station when the Main-Neckar Railway from Frankfurt am Main to Heidelberg and Mannheim went into operation on August 1, 1846. With the opening of the Weinheim – Worms railway line in 1905, the station received new signal systems. From 1909 the station complex was expanded, for which purpose a construction department of the Grand Ducal Baden Railways was established on June 1, 1909 .
In the years 2015 to 2017, platforms A, B and C (tracks 1–4) and their equipment were renewed to make them accessible for the disabled, increased to 76 cm and a passenger lift installed each. An access from the west side was also built. This cost around 8.71 million euros. The city and district each assumed 1.63 million euros, the state of Baden-Württemberg 1.88 million euros. The conversion was funded with 3.57 million euros by means of the Federal GVFG.
designation
The name of the station was originally Weinheim . On October 3, 1937, it was renamed Weinheim (Bergstr) . In August 2018 the station was renamed again, this time to "Weinheim (Bergstr) Hbf".

Originally the building had a U-shaped floor plan open to the city side with 2: 5: 2 axes. On the platform side, the historical facade has largely been preserved. In the course of the economic stimulus programs of 2008/09, the entrance building was energetically refurbished by 2011 and the platform roof renovated.
The building has a find DB - Travel Center , a newspaper and book shop, a bakery store , a café , a bicycle repair shop , a mobile phone shop and other facilities of DB.
As an annex to the station, the building of the former railway maintenance office and the water tower are also worth mentioning. The former railway maintenance office is an eaves half-timbered building with brick filling from 1875. It is also to the east of the tracks. The water tower dates from 1912, stands west of the tracks and has a wide, polygonal upper floor for the water tank.

Freight transport
In earlier times the Weinheimer Bahnhof had a large and powerful freight and marshalling yard . The largest customer was the Freudenberg group of companies based in Weinheim , which transported its goods via its own rail connection. In addition, goods were transported on the Weschnitz Valley Railway until 1994, for example for the Wald-Michelbacher Coronet works . Today there is no longer any scheduled freight traffic to Weinheim station. The freight yard was demolished and a shopping center was built on the site . Besides the two main tracks of the Main-Neckar-Bahn can be found in the area of the former goods station, two sidings and siding . The electronic signal box is also located on the premises. The former freight track to Viernheim , a last remaining section of the former Weinheim – Worms railway line , is also no longer used today.
future
In the course of the second construction stage of the RheinNeckar S-Bahn , the Main-Neckar-Bahn and thus the Weinheim train station are to be integrated into the existing network with the new S7 S-Bahn line. This is expected to happen in 2020. The S6 S6 of the RheinNeckar S-Bahn has been running here between Bensheim, Mannheim and Mainz since December 2018.
