Annweiler am Trifels station is the main station in the town of Annweiler am Trifels in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Deutsche Bahn classifies it as a category 5 station and it has three platform tracks. The station is located in the network of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar (Rhine-Neckar transport association, VRN) and belongs to fare zones 181 and 191. Since 2002, Annweiler has also been part of the area served by the Karlsruher Verkehrsverbund (Karlsruhe Transport Association, KVV) using tickets at a transitional rate. Annweiler was always the most important station between Landau (Pfalz) Hbf and Pirmasens Nord and it used to be served by long-distance services.
It was opened on 12 September 1874, when the first section of the line from Landau went into operation. 14 months later, it was connected with Zweibrücken and became a through station. This developed into the modern Landau–Rohrbach railway, which has existed in its present form since 1895.
The station is located on the northern outskirts of Annweiler. The Großer Adelberg (hill) is directly north of it, which required a retaining wall to be built. A residential area is located northeast of it on the slope. South of the railway station parallel to the tracks are Bahnhofstraße (station street) and the Queich. The western end of the station is covered by a stone arch bridge, which serves road traffic. The Landau–Rohrbach railway, which is very curvy in the built-up area of the town, comes from the north-east and continues to the west from the station; it follows the Queich until shortly before Hauenstein.
A meeting took place in Speyer on 10 January 1838, which marked the beginning of selling shares in the Palatine Ludwig Railway Company (Pfälzische Ludwigsbahn-Gesellschaft). One suggestion was to build the railway through Zweibrücken and from there along the Schwarzbach via Rodalben, Annweiler and Langenkandel to the Rhine, but this was not adopted.
