Reutlingen Hauptbahnhof is the main station in Reutlingen in the German State of Baden-Württemberg. In addition the city has halts (Haltepunkte) at Reutlingen West and in the suburbs of Betzingen and Sondelfingen. They all lie on the Plochingen–Immendingen railway. Reutlingen Süd (south) station (formerly called Eningen station) is no longer in operation.

History

Exterior of station with square in spring.

After the citizens of Reutlingen had actively participated in the Revolution of 1848-49, the Württemberg government deliberately delayed the construction of the railway from Plochingen to Reutlingen. The station was finally opened on 20 September 1859. It had an administration building and a customs house, a freight shed, a locomotive depot and a repair workshop with a water supply point.

Until 1994, the Swabian Jura Railway (Schwäbische Albbahn) branched in Reutlingen station. The section of the line from Reutlingen to Kleinengstingen is now closed and dismantled. Until 1985, the Gönningen Railway branched here connecting Reutlingen and Gönningen. In addition, from 1899 to 1974 the Lokalbahn Reutlingen–Eningen (a tramway) operated from the station to Eningen unter Achalm.
