| Opened | 11 June 1847 |
Böhl-Iggelheim station is in the town of Böhl-Iggelheim in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Deutsche Bahn classifies it as a category 5 station and it has two platforms. The station is located in the network of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar (Rhine-Neckar transport association, VRN) and belongs to fare zone 121. Its address is Am Bahnhofsplatz 4.
It is located on the Mannheim–Saarbrücken railway, which essentially consists of the Palatine Ludwig Railway (Pfälzische Ludwigsbahn, Ludwigshafen–Bexbach). It was opened on 11 June 1847, when the Ludwigshafen–Neustadt section of the Ludwig Railway was put into full operation. Until the Second World War, the station was significant as a regional freight hub, but since about 1970 it has served almost entirely as a passenger station. In the meantime, it has been reconstructed as a halt (Haltepunkt). Since December 2003, it has been served by lines S1 and S2 of the Rhine-Neckar S-Bahn. Its former entrance building is heritage listed.
The station is located on the south-eastern edge of the village of Böhl. Running parallel to and north of the railway tracks is the local Bahnhofstraße ("station street"). South of the railway line is an industrial area, which the street of Am Bahnhofsplatz ("at the station forecourt") passes through. The eastern area of the station is bridged by Landesstraße 628 (a state road).
Originally it had been planned to build a railway running north-south in the then Bavarian Circle of the Rhine (Rheinkreis). However, it was agreed to first build a railway running east-west, which was to be used primarily for transporting coal from the Saar district (now part of the Saarland) to the Rhine.
