Eutingen im Gäu station is located in the town of Eutingen im Gäu in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. It is at the junction of the Stuttgart–Hattingen railway, connecting Stuttgart and Singen, and the Eutingen im Gäu–Freudenstadt railway, connecting Eutingen and Freudenstadt.
Eutingen im Gäu station is located on the plateau about 3 km to the east of central Eutingen in the district of Rohrdorf on the Stuttgart–Hattingen railway (also known as the Gäubahn or Gau Railway) and it is the starting point historically of the Eutingen im Gäu–Freudenstadt railway.
The first station in Eutingen was opened on 1 June 1874 with the commissioning of the Nagold Valley Railway (Nagoldtalbahn). It lay to the southeast of the village. The Stuttgart–Hattingen railway was connected to the north of the station in 1879. The station then consisted of a temporary administration building, a goods shed, a locomotive shed and staff accommodation.
The station was in operation until 1933 and eventually included a "house" platform next to the station building, three island platforms, a turntable, a three-road roundhouse and extensive facilities for freight.
The Free People's State of Württemberg and the Deutsche Reichsbahn signed a contract in February 1927 for the improvement of the rail link between Stuttgart via Horb and Tuttlingen to Singen. This involved the doubling of the line and a complete reconstruction of Eutingen station.
