It is at the junction to the short Lauterbourg Port railway and was the terminus of the former Lauterbourg–Wissembourg railway.
Construction of the Lauterbourg railway station began in 1874 after the German Empire annexed Alsace-Lorraine in 1871. The line from Strasbourg to Lauterbourg was opened on 25 July 1876 by the Imperial Railways in Alsace-Lorraine (Kaiserliche Generaldirektion der Eisenbahnen in Elsaß-Lothringen).
In 1900, the station was enlarged for the opening of the new Lauterbourg–Wissembourg railway, which was put in service on 1 July of the same year.
The Riviera-Express of the Compagnie des wagons-lits, connecting Berlin to Nice via Frankfurt, served the station from 3 December 1900. It was abandoned when the First World War broke out
