| History | |
| Opened | 29 October 1870 |
Enkenbach station is the only station in Enkenbach-Alsenborn in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It has two platforms tracks and is located in the network of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar (Rhine-Neckar transport association, VRN) and belongs to fare zone 828. Its address is Bahnhofstraße 2.
It is located on the Alsenz Valley Railway (Alsenztalbahn, Hochspeyer–Bad Münster) and was put into service on 29 October 1870 with the opening of the section from Hochspeyer to Winnweiler. On 16 May of the following year it was opened over its whole length. In 1875, the station became the eastern end of the Kaiserslautern–Enkenbach railway, which formed a shorter route for trains from the Alsenz line to Kaiserslautern. In 1932, the Eis Valley Railway (Eistalbahn, Grünstadt–Eisenberg), which was opened in 1876, was extended through to Enkenbach. The latter line has now been closed between Eiswoog and Enkenbach.
The station is located on the eastern edge of the Enkenbach district of the Enkenbach-Alsenborn municipality of Rhineland-Palatinate. The local streets of Bahnhofstraße and Klosterbach run to the west of and parallel to it. Rosenhofstraße – which is also marked as state route 395 – crosses the southern station area. Just east of the station is the village of Alsenborn. It has parking, bicycle parking, a bus stop and a barrier-free entrance.
The Alsenz Valley Railway runs in the station area from the south-southeast to the north-northwest. South of Enkenbach the otherwise two-track line has only one track. The Kaiserslautern–Enkenbach railway reaches the station from a south-west direction in a 90-degree curve. The Eis Valley Railway, which has been closed in this area, crossed the Alsenz line north of the station, and then entered the Stumpfwald via Alsenborn.
