History

Track plan from 1870

The first Weinheim station was opened here with the opening of the Main-Neckar Railway from Frankfurt am Main to Heidelberg and Mannheim on 1 August 1846. With the opening of the Weinheim–Worms railway in 1905, the station received new signal systems. In 1909, the station layout was extended, for which a construction division of the Grand Duchy of Baden State Railway had been established on 1 June 1909.

The station building was substantially renovated and the canopy of the "home" platform was refurbished as part of an economic stimulus program from 2008/09 to 2011.

From 2015 to 2017, platforms A, B and C (tracks 1–4) were renewed and adapted for the disabled, increased to a height of 76 cm and each fitted with a passenger lift. In addition, an entrance was built from the west side. This cost about €8.71 million. The municipality and the district each provided €1.63 m of the costs, while the state of Baden-WÜrttemberg provided €1.88 m. The renovation was also funded with €3.57 m under the federal Municipal Transport Financing Act (Gemeindeverkehrsfinanzierungsgesetz).

The station was renamed from Weinheim (Bergstr) to Weinheim (Bergstr) Hbf in August 2018.

Public transport

The station is connected by the Oberrheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (Upper Rhine Railway Company, OEG) with the rest of the Rhine-Neckar region. It runs from here to Viernheim, Mannheim and Heidelberg. The OEG stop at Weinheim station is called Luisenstraße, while the OEG's own Weinheim station is about 400 metres further south.

There is a bus connection to city and regional lines and a call taxi service.

In the event of unscheduled overtaking moves by freight or long-distance trains, commuter trains to Frankfurt use track 1. The platforms are connected by two subways.
